I think that everyone experiences this reality at some point in their lives. Some people are just shy of being naked in front of others. But, there are also individuals who find their shyness affecting their sexual life.
People become embarrassed and shy about being fully naked, even with their partners or lovers. I’m talking about “becoming” because there was a time you were completely unaware of the concept of nudity. New borns and toddlers aren’t shy when naked.
Why you’re shy
First, you have to understand why you are shy. It’s a personality trait that you may have been born with. It could also be caused by something that happened in the past that made you feel like you are cursed with shyness.
In a study, Live Science explained that people’s brains are different from those of other individuals. They also said that being shy is a type of personality trait that can be influenced by various factors.
But is that the only reason you’re shy?
If you’re an outgoing person, you might not be shy when talking to others. However, after you and your partner get naked, you suddenly become completely introverted. This could be caused by your self-esteem.
If you’re shy because of someone laughing or making fun of your naked body, then you’re likely to feel uneasy when going topless in front of other people.
The shy person’s guide for getting naked
There is a way for those who are shy to overcome their issues and get naked. By following these simple steps, you can be confident enough to remove all of your clothes in front of someone new.
1. Realize there may be a bigger problem at hand

2. Attempt to solve the problem before moving on
After identifying the deeper issues, try to fix these before tackling any other problems.
Try to pinpoint the exact issue that you’re experiencing with shyness. Doing so will make it easier to solve. If the problem still persists, try taking another approach.
3. Get to know the person first
One night stands are not ideal for you. Unless you’re planning on taking them back to your place, it’s not advisable to approach them without actually getting to know them first. By doing so, you can feel more at ease around them.
This will allow you to feel more comfortable with the idea of being fully naked, as they already know you intimately.
4. Move slowly
In addition to moving slowly when it comes to getting naked, you should also be taking it slowly when it comes to undressing.
Slowing down the relationship will allow you to get used to the other person without being too vulnerable. Slowing down when it comes to getting naked will allow you to get used to being naked.
5. Visualize yourself being confident when getting naked
One of the most effective techniques for healing one’s mental self is by visualizing yourself as if you’re not afraid of being naked. Doing so will allow you to feel more comfortable when it comes to being fully naked.
6. Be naked more often
Getting naked consistently will allow you to remove the negative effects of shyness, which are typically associated with taking off all of your clothes. Some simple yet effective ways to do this are to walk around without clothes, take a shower, and stay in the bathroom completely naked.
For those who are looking to put an end to their shyness in a long-term relationship, practice being fully naked around the person for a certain amount of time. Doing so will help you feel more comfortable and will allow you to walk around without any issues.
7. Focus on something else
For instance, you should only focus on the other person while you’re getting naked. You’ll be forgetting about not wearing anything. You’ll also be able to concentrate on their sense of smell, their curves, and how they make you feel, which will drown out your shyness.
8. Work on getting in shape
If you’re struggling with your self-esteem, try working out more. Getting in shape can help improve your appearance and make you feel better when you get naked. You’ll also want to show off your body in a way that makes you feel more attractive.
9. Have a drink… or two… or three
Drinking alcohol can help you relax and remove some of the discomfort that’s holding you back from feeling confident when it comes to getting naked. However, this method should not be used for long-term results.
10. Use some blindfolds on your date
Before going completely nude, blindfold your date. This will make them unable to see you, which will make you feel more comfortable around them.
11. Talk to your partner
If you’re just trying to get to the bottom of your shyness, then talk to your partner. Tell them that you’re suffering from extreme shyness, and that you’re afraid of being fully naked with them.
Getting naked can help you relieve some of the discomfort that’s holding you back from feeling confident around people. It can also help you become closer to your partner.
