I love being naked. I covered all the windows in my abode just so I can walk around naked if I want, and not worry about people outside seeing me. I started sleeping naked sometime in middle or high school (around a decade ago), and I still love it. I'll admit I'm somewhat narcissistic, and being naked lets me enjoy my body. I'm not sure when I became comfortable as a sexual being, but it was probably a few years after I started loving being naked. That made me wonder if nudity and sexuality should go hand and hand, and I missed the boat initially, or if they are not as related as they seem to me, or as society sometimes makes me believe they are (with rampant nudity or partial nudity in advertising, etc.).

I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this topic -- are nudity and sexuality really related? Do you equate being naked to feeling more sexual? How does your level of covering-up affect your sexuality?

I know some people like to wear certain clothing items (panties, stockings, shoes) to feel more sexual, and I'm trying to understand how what we wear (or don't wear) affects how we feel sexually. Does nudity promote a more sexual mood if someone likes seeing their own body? Do you think sexuality is more related to confidence than to nudity, or is there some tie among all of them?

Please discuss.
