I had a chat with a friend last night who said she’d love to come along to our local swingers club with us, but she can’t because she just can’t deal with the idea of being naked in front of strangers.
Although I can’t say I’ve heard the problem spoken of much, I can imagine it’s something quite a few people struggle with, especially as we live in a society that’s so focused on ‘the body perfect’.
I don’t think so-called ‘modern’ parents are doing their children many favours by keeping them away from nakedness, either. The naked body is the most natural thing we humans have, and while I’d never ever suggest allowing children to witness anything sexual, I can’t see how witnessing a naked body can be harmful. It surely prepares them for the changes they can expect during their own puberty and makes them aware that all bodies aren’t like those portrayed by the glamour industry, which is sadly where many young people get their views of these things from.
A naked body is beautiful, whatever its shape or size. And while there are some groups of swingers who will only accept ‘attractive couples in the twenties and thirties’ into their company, they’re most definitely the exception rather than the rule. Most swingers are broad-minded people who accept others as they are.
As I told my friend, one thing to remember is that very few clubs expect members or guests to strip off regardless. Most will ask that the ladies wear sexy lingerie but whether or not you go naked will be entirely up to you, and even then, most clubs will have areas where nudity is neither expected or allowed.
My suggestion is that you visit a club and see how you feel. It may take several visits before you’re comfortable enough to be naked around others, but however long it takes, it really doesn’t matter. Once you see that few have model bodies, you’ll probably feel a lot better about your own.
