((( Rhap ))) sorry that you struggle with this.

I have no problem with nudity in movies or art, as long as it doesn't involve violence. We live in such a conservative country, which I rarely realize because I have always lived in very liberal cities. Nudity doesn't make me feel threatened in my relationship. And Rhap, with your, um, track record, I think it's safe to say that your husband finds you PLENTY attractive!

Two slightly O/T things I want to share:
- in my city earlier this year, there was an April Fool's joke that there was going to be a Naked Parade. People are so eager to get naked here that people actually showed up. We had huge participation in World Naked Bike Ride, and also had a nude 5k race. We have strip jeopardy at bars, and more than 60 strip clubs (I don't have a problem with those, either). So I guess I'm saying that nudity in movies isn't really all that shocking.

- there are quite a few nude beaches and clothing-optional hot springs in this region. This past winter, I was feeling really crappy about my weight - I've gained about 30 pounds in 7 years - but we went to one of the hot springs resorts and it was one of the best things I could have done for my self-esteem. Sure, my husband got to see lots of perfect bodies, but he also got to see that women come in every single shape and size imaginable. Maybe the movies portray only the 'perfect', but he is also very aware that most women do not have 'perfect' bodies, but while he admires and appreciates them, I never get the suspicion that he prefers them to me. So, I think there is something to be said for over-exposure, so to speak, to desensitize ourselves to the discomfort.

Hope all are well here. Hugs, LMo
