Why do I still find sex and nudity embarrassing at 28?

[ad_1]

I’m trying to figure out my hang ups about sex, and it kind of comes down to thinking nudity is awkward and embarrassing. I know rationally it’s not, but at the same time we’re taught our whole lives to not be “sl*tty” and cover up and then suddenly you’re just supposed to be able to get naked and touch someone else’s naked body?

I want to get over my immature view on nudity but it’s difficult, I genuinely feel ashamed to ever be nude in front of anyone. I come from a culture where saunas are common and people are naked in them, but I’ve never gone to them after hitting puberty.

I’ve never had a boyfriend, I’ve gone one some first dates but didn’t want to keep seeing them because I knew that they would expect sex soon enough. I have sexual fantasies and masturbate, but have never done anything with anyone because I’m embarrassed.

I don’t understand why I’m so ashamed and feel weird about nudity. I didn’t grow up in a religious culture and none of my friends are like this.
