If you get more comfortable with your body when you are nude, then it should be
easier for you to feel freer during sex. But there are some specific body image
issues that people may to want to learn to overcome during sex.

Here are some
things a woman might worry about:

• What her breasts look like when they fall to the sides when she is on her back
during sex
• What her butt looks like if a man is having sex with her from behind, in“doggystyle” position
• That her vagina isn't tight enough
• That she has too much body hair, especially on her belly or near her nipples
• That she has too much public hair, especially if her partner is performing oral
sex on her

And here are some things that the man might worry about during sex:

• That his penis is too small or not straight enough
• That his penis is not hard enough or will not stay hard
• That his weight will crush his partner if he is on top, or that his big gut will get
in the way if they want to have sex in the sitting position
• That he has too much hair on his back or shoulders
• That he is not muscular enough

Both men and women might worry that their bodies smell, taste bad, or will do
things they can't control (like pass gas). They also may worry that their faces will
contort in ugly ways during the moment of orgasm. But the fact is that amazing
sex is about getting lost in the moment, and not worrying about what your body is
doing or what your body looks like

• Do not mention the things that you do not like about your body. Do not draw
attention to things you're uncomfortable with. Your partner wants to enjoy you,
not hear about all of your insecurities.
• Take a moment to realize that you are not scrutinizing your partner's body—so
that means that your partner is probably not scrutinizing yours!
• Understand that all bodies are different and should be appreciated for their
uniqueness.
• When you start worrying about your body, tell yourself, “Stop that!” Then focus
your attention on what it feels like in your fingertips to touch your lover's body.
• Enjoy the feeling of skin on skin. No matter what it looks like, feeling flesh is
sexy.
• Remember that you should act like you are confident. Confidence is sexy!
