Most people would never go naked in front of their partners. This is because they are either shy or not confident enough about their bodies.
These tips will make it easier for you:
1. Take care of your body
Try to find ways to take care of your body and send it the message that it deserves love and pampering. Maybe that’s getting massages, manicures, or facials. The point is not to lose weight, but to help you feel more comfortable with and present in your own skin. That might be dancing, yoga, running, weight lifting, or swimming.
2. Set the scene
If you can, invite your partner over to your place. Being in the comfort of your own space can help alleviate some of your anxiety. You can also set things up to help you get in the mood. One of the best investments you can make is a cheap dimmer switch and soft light bulbs.
3. Don’t put yourself down
Most women feel so self-conscious that criticize or make excuses for their bodies before even taking their clothes off. Please don’t do this! Don’t beat yourself up in front of your partners. It’s unnecessary, and it draws attention to things your partner probably wouldn’t have noticed on his or her own!
4. Remind yourself what's important
If you catch yourself thinking critical thoughts at the moment, remind yourself what’s really important to you about being intimate with another person. To yourself, you could say something like, “I want to focus on being present with my partner instead of stuck in my own head".
5. Invest in good lingerie
Good lingerie is an extremely underrated self-esteem booster. You want to feel excited about your partner seeing what you have on under your clothes. The most important thing is to find lingerie that shows off your best assets and captures your style.
