I love naked women, you should too!
I have been going to Korean bath houses for as long as I can remember. I recall going with my mother and aunties and getting my hair washed and sitting in a hot bath with other women. I would talk with other girls and my mother and aunties would get a body scrub.
This was a normal thing to me; seeing naked women in all forms, shapes sizes and ages. Whenever I get an opportunity I still go, but now I’m the one getting a body scrub. I never thought it was anything special, just something you did to relax.
I talked to my girlfriends who have only gone to the standard spas and they get all agitated about their robes and what to show and what not to show when they are getting pampered. I’ve never have been very body conscience. If there was something that jiggled that I didn’t like I’d just add another twenty minutes into my work out routine or just accept it.
Recently I was going through some magazines with my friend Candace.
She sighed and said, “If I had a body like that I would be naked all the time.”
I told her, “At least you can be naked in your own home.”
“I can’t even do that, I hate seeing myself in the mirror.”
That got me thinking, why would she be uncomfortable being naked in her own home? After asking about it she informed me she didn’t like the pouch she had, or how one breast was bigger than the other, or when she leaned to one side there were fat rolls.
“So what? Everyone has something like that, plus no one else is looking, so why not?”
“Because I don’t look like these women.”
“Does it matter that you don’t look like these women? You have to know that most women don’t look like the ones in the magazines; in fact the women in the magazines don’t look like that most of the time anyways. Photoshop and great lighting does a lot.”
“I don’t know. I just wished that I looked normal.”
Normal? I couldn’t believe Candace thought these women looked normal. Sure there are plenty of women that were genetically gifted with longer legs, bigger breasts, and a waist a man could wrap just his hands around, but to say they looked normal was a far cry from reality.
I really think more women need to go to Korean bath houses where the women are fully naked and they don’t hide or put a towel around themselves and feel comfortable in their own skin. Sure some sag, some droop, some wrinkle but that’s normal. There is nothing sexier than a woman that is comfortable with her own body.
I’m going to make an appointment for Candace and me to go to my closest bathhouse. Maybe after that she will be comfortable enough to sit naked and watch Scrubs on T.V.

I've noticed how women at the gym seem to "hide" behind towels an awful lot. I know I don't have the body of a model. But, I can and do walk around my house naked (when the kids aren't home), am comfortable at the gym. Do I sometimes wonder, when I'm with a new man, if he's comparing me to others? Sometimes...but I also don't have "new men" all that often!
Thank ya!
One of my favorite things is coming home, closing the door pulling down the shades and stripping down with Ben and Jerry's.
Exactly that's how I feel. I just don't see why she finds it's so hard to just be comfortable with herself.
Never been to one of those places but I wouldn't be against it. I'd have no problems.
Glad you love naked women! :D
No matter how beautiful I tell her she's not convinced. Even her boyfriend tells her that she's beautiful but she won't get over that she might not look like super models. I just want her to see what real women look like and how they are fine with all the perfect and imperfect parts.
Ha! I love it. Hmm enclosed backyard, gardening naked..interesting. Lol if we all talked naked I bet there would be a lot of conversations about shaving and topiaries.
And if those women are considered "normal", the ones in magazines, I've never, ever been normal a day in my life!
Thanks and yes she's just normal, like the rest of us.
lol it might have been young lady..maybe
Loved my art classes in college. Hmmmm, some of the models were works of art themselves others not so much but all were there to share what the human form looks like for artists to draw or sculpt. Whew do I have some tells about some of them.
I have to remember to keep sweat pants handy if you know what I mean and I'm sixty. Not into blinding anyone...lol.
You go Heather. :o)
I was pretty amazed how they were able to take a very normal, everyday woman and with make-up, hair-stylist, lighting and photoshop change her into this "perfect" model.
I'm very overweight. I'm unhappy with myself simply for health reasons. My husband and I are starting a lifestyle change very soon (the 10th) and I'm very much looking forward to getting healthier.
Either way though, I know my husband loves how I look, thinks I'm beautiful and attractive, and would desire me no matter what. I don't need to look like a model.
Also........ If I didn't have 5 children, I'd be naked most of the time too, or with stockings or something hahahahahaha.
Transformation of a Model
Oh my God that was PERFECT. I'm going to have to email that to Candace!
Neither do I. I love curves and am envious of women who have them..so it astounds me when these same women don't want to flaunt it.
You always have a way to make me laugh!
Always welcomes at the bathhouse!
you know everyone's got something right? I think once we realize we all pretty much look the same under the clothes, without the corsets, support hose, and everything else we'll be happy with ourselves. Heck, the shades are down and I'm air drying!
Not a problem. I just thought we should celebrate our own 'nakeness'.
Hi H.K.-there are so many women that really believe the models are normal,,,
I myself like the normal woman,,,my wife's parents lived in a nudest colony
when she was very young,,,,we are not at all afraid to "hang out" @ home,,,LOL
Why can't they just except that they are a lot healthier than those women in the magazines. You write very nice, I speed right through everytime...Thanks!!!
NAKED AND PROUD OF IT!!!
I had a friend tell me back in my "I cant get thin enough days" that nobody likes a bone but a dog, and the just bury it for hard times! Now I just want to be comfortable with me.
What an idea! LOL
Great essay!
Good piece, Heather. Out here in the country, I can even sit outside without a stitch on.
Ah, too bad a lot of folks were brainwashed at young ages to hide self. if we were all raised to see the body as just a body, life would be sooo much simpler, right? ViVa la Nude!!!!
I would love to go to a bathhouse...and be able to be around other women who felt comfortable in their natural state...
When I go for a mammogram I don't fool with the paper top that gets in the way, bare breasted in all my glory is much more comfortable for me.
Nude is Beautiful, comfortable, and natural.
