Interesting... I find naked women (in a non-sexual way) much more attractive than named men

I understand what you are saying, we do have more to bring to the table, so to speak than a man. We are feminine and carry ourselves very differently than the male but still, I would be embarresed to see a naked woman, men is another story tho unless they are standing on the corner flashing, I wouldn't like that tho.,lol

i used to be a lot more paranoid about it. doing the "don't let anyone see me" dance while changing in the locker room. then i went to college. lived in a dorm for 2 years, where there are community showers (separated for the sexes obviously) and i kind of got over it. going to the gym and changing in the locker room doesn't phase me.

I would have to agree there.

I'm not paranoid about it, but I dont think it acceptable to 'throw' yourself in front of other people - lets face it, how do they know how others might feel about it.
I would say it rude to behave in a way that might be considered offensive or embarrassing to others. OK they may be fine with nudity but that is not to say everyone else is.
I prefer a private cubicle but if is communal then fair enough.

It makes me very uncomfortable to change in front of people, so I just use the nearest bathroom to change.

It doesn't really bother me. I walk naked from the shower to the locker because I'd rather put the towel around my hair than my body. I dry off before leaving the shower, though, to avoid flashing anyone. Also I am an early riser so there are usally only one or two other ladies present. However, the "lotion situation" would make me uncomfortable!

I don't have much confidence in myself.
Well I used to feel this way too, and I'm very self-conscious of my body. Then only a couple of years ago, I started swimming lots and for some reason just felt fine with being nude in the change room. It was very liberating! Everyone wanders around naked here, the only ones using the private change rooms are the teen girls.

Seeing women in changing rooms is a reminder how people don't look like models.
I think it's very healthy to see the huge range of shapes/sizes/skin that women have in real life. All we usually see are models and that totally distorts our view of a normal woman's body.

I have to say, I'm really surpised by how many people here are uncomfortable with this!

I still get nervous if I am some where like a gym or a swimming pool. There aren't rules that say you have to be nude, it's just by choice. Besides women are so cinical of eachother I would be worried about what they were thinking in their head. However, I would love to go to a nude beach some time where people are accepting and very non judgemental. I would feel comfortable there and it would be fun!

I don't walk around a changing room completely naked myself as I am a bit self conscious about my body but I'm not bothered if other people do.

Me too. There's nothing dirty or wrong about the human body. If it's somewhere like a communal changing room at a gym there are going to be naked bodies because you have to take your clothes off to change/shower etc. Sure you can try to hold towels over body parts if you feel uncomfortable but I don't think anyone should feel they have to. Not in that sort of environment.

God, I don't even like to see men in spandex.... who wants to see that?!
Put it away! I don't need or want to see the size, shape or outline of anyone else's private parts.... male or female.
I am fine with discretion, or even the time/place thing, if your on a nude beach fine you chose to go there.... but at a normal public/communal place it's unecessary.

Naked at home is one thing, around strangers...I don't think so. I will however breast feed in public.
