My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Alert: This post contains talk about nudity and hard-ons. So if that offends you, you might want to come back on Friday, when I share about something more gentle and sweet-smelling, like a post on Snuggles fabric softener.

For as vocal and blunt as I am in talking about ‘private parts’ on this blog….I’m actually a very shy cocotte when it comes to my own nudity.
You’re talking to a man who’s pee-shy in a public restroom, let alone exposing myself at a nude beach.
I talk a good game, yet when it comes down to actually doing it myself….I’m chicken shit and two-faced.
Having lived in Florida, I’ve been to nude beaches several times, however never participated in going commando, which actually made me stand out more because I was the only one on the sand with my private parts covered.
I don’t particularly mind LOOKING at certain people in their birthday suits at a beach (especially with a pair of high powered binoculars), it’s just that I don’t want everyone looking at MINE.
I don’t want my jewels displayed in Tiffany’s window for the WHOLE world to see.
To me, my jewels are a private collection; only to be viewed by some.
On the other hand, I use to have a friend who felt completely the opposite. Anytime he had the opportunity to take his clothes off, he JUMPED at it. Whenever he and I would go to a pool party, he'd say, "Oh...do you think they'd mind if I took all my clothes off?" And I'd say, "Yes...so wait until they've had a few drinks first." He had absolutely NO inhibitions whatsoever. If it was legal to live his life NAKED, I swear to god, he would.
His jewels were open for AUCTION 24/7, with a no return policy.
And he even offered layaway.
Last week, a few of my friends and I got on the topic of nude beaches and how comfortable we felt in taking our clothes off in front of other people.
Most every single person said, “NO WAY!”
Yet, there was one guy who said, “YES WAY!”
And he explained to me that exposing yourself on a nude beach was not a ‘sexual thing.’ So as a guy, you don’t ever have to worry about getting a HARD-ON because it’s not about that. It’s more about the freedom of going au naturel.
I explained to him that it wasn’t my concern of getting a hard-on, but rather a concern of exposing my SOFT-ON.
This discussion got me thinking how many of us are coy about our nudity.
Is it something we’re taught in our childhood, or is it something we develop as adults; becoming shy about our bodies?
All I know is that for me, I won’t be peeling my clothes off in front of anyone except a ‘select few’ in the privacy of my own boudoir.
Oh wait, and also for you guys on the Internet…..

Note: I can’t thank you ALL enough for sharing your energy, prayers, and love within your comments, emails, and phone calls this past weekend. Your support at this time has been BEYOND appreciated by my mother, brother, and I. My mother is now home and extremely stable. I promise to keep you posted on her well-being.
It never ceases to amaze me how much tangible power there is, when people come together in the blogging community; sharing their support. Therefore, I believe that my mothers’ stability has had much to do with YOU.
*bowing my head*
Thank you.
