Title. I don’t know what to consider it, whether it stems from body dysmorphia or whatever but I have a general (although not extremely impairing) fear and discomfort of nudity. This may be common, though I haven’t met anyone who’s as uncomfortable with nudity and their own body as I am.

This is very interesting op, thanks for posting this ama.

Has this been an issue your whole life, or is it a more recent development.

How do you wash yourself?

Does this impact your relationships?

  Thanks, and you’re welcome!!
  
  I think this started sometime at age 11 during puberty. I was disgusted by things like sex scenes on TV, and was disgusted by anything involving nudity, which included having to look at my growing breasts.
  
  If I don’t look at it, I tend to be fine and can wash myself. Soap can also cover a great deal of the area.
  
  Not really, as I’ve never had to dress in front of anyone, nor have they in front of me. When they discuss sex or people being nude in front of them though it can irk me a lot.
