Jealousy / anxiety female nudity movies / tv

I have a weird issue. I was watching a movie called Broken Flowers last night with my bf. There is a scene where a woman walks into a room completely naked. Full frontal shot. My heart immediately dropped. I got nervous and filled with anxiety. Does anyone feel like that?

You see breast in movies somewhat regularly. But this has goon TOO FAR! This movie showed her completely naked. Everything. That’s totally different than just breast. I do not want my husband looking at her.

Any one gone through a similar experience? What do you do?

Minnflower, I understand the feeling of jealousy completely. I'm a jealous person too. However, I'm not understanding what the main issue is here. Do you have an aversion to nudity in and of itself? Or is that you don't want your husband to look at other women in the nude as it triggers your jealousy?

I feel that we (mainly the US) oversexualize the human body. If a person sees a woman nursing her baby in public, uncovered, they go into fits of rage or repulsion over her exposed breast. They feel that, if a breast is exposed in any way whatsoever, it MUST be for a sexual act of some sort. When did feeding a child in such an intimate and beautiful way become a sexual act?

Small children often run around in the nude all the time, doing it not because its sexual in nature, but because they like the freedom and are exploring their personal boundaries. It's when an adult in their life begins to tell them that being nude is shameful or acts like them being nude isn't acceptable that they themselves begin to feel shame and embarrassment when nude in front of others. They aren't born feeling this way, rather, it's instilled upon them by the elders in their lives.

As an artist, I find beauty in the nude form, both male and female. Does that make me perverted? Was Michelangelo feeling perverted when he created the David (a famous sculpture of a nude man)? Is a photograph of a mother and her baby, both in the nude, perverted?

The answer is no, none of these are perverted whatsoever. Yet, there are people who are bound and determined to try and make beautiful masterpieces, like the David, into something perverted and lewd because the subjects are nude.

In fact, there are some societies that view being nude as being in one's purest, and most innocent form. The nude subject has nothing to hide, nothing to feel abashed or ashamed about, thus they are purity in the simplest state. They are, as we all come into the world, nude and without guilt, shame, or anything else blemishing there psyche.

So, no. I feel that movies aren't going to far when a woman is simply walking into a room fully nude, and the camera captures that. In fact, I feel the US has gone too far to censor nudity as a whole. It's beyond ridiculous.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT, TOO VALUABLE AND TOO PRECIOUS A THING TO WASTE!!

The first word of your post gives me a reason for your anxiety. Are you jealous of your husband seeing another female nude body?
Why? Because jealousy is a mixture of different emotions like anger, self worth, etc.
Did you say anything to your husband?

No I don't think movies are going too far. HBO used to be cutting edge in my book & now I see nudity in prime time television.
We've become desensitized to nudity.
I'm fine with it.
My biggest issue is why are the females nude? Why don't we get full frontal of men? Now that is NOT fair! The tide is just starting to turn tho in making the playing field more even.

So what would happen if in the movie there was full frontal nudity of a male?? Would your husband be upset too?

My initial aversion to responding stems from the pain I feel about this topic. I am going to cut it short. This is the first time in the 8 years I've been acquainted with this forum that I've actually been triggered. The jealousy you feel more than likely is rooted in the belief that you yourself aren't good enough. You see these women and get jealous that your husband sees them, too. Maybe someone picked on you for being too much of what they thought was a bad thing. Maybe your ideals of women are high because of what you want to. Maybe you think your husband won't love you because he saw another woman's naked body.

Remember in the end, your husband chose you. I know in a lot of cases it may not mean much. I've been cheated on and people have said some pretty nasty things to degrade my body. I can't change what God has given me, and neither can you. You are beautiful the way you are, and your husband more than likely knows that, too. He chose you. He probably has his own insecurities he has to deal with, too.

You have your guard up about this kind of stuff, and it hurts you more in the end. Allow yourself to breathe and the pleasure of being vulnerable. If this is something you can talk over with your husband, please do.
