meme; seeing you naked for the first time

[metropolising]

 

There are outliers, of course, but many societies have come to the point where nudity is a reserved affair. That's understandable though, isn't it? The naked body is like one big target, with all our most sensitive spots exposed in a most dangerous way. Maybe it's some kind of carryover from primitive times, but it's common practice to shield your body unless you're taking care of inescapable tasks, with someone you trust, or being intimate - with the last two often overlapping. No matter if you're less than comfortable showing what you've been given or if it's next to normal with you, one situation is nearly universally awkward, however: getting naked for the first time in front of someone you intend on being intimate with. If social lubricant is involved, things may be different, yet otherwise, you may feel that uncertainty in the pit of your stomach. What if they don't like the way you look? What if they ask about your scar? They can say they love you, but does that mean your whole body. Whether, the time has come to take that first step with this person, no matter what secrets about your body you're not sure you want to reveal or how confident you are with the situation. Now, you'll bare it all... ...and you won't be alone. You'll see them as they see you, which can be more comforting or less so. HOW TO PLAY Comment with your character and preferences in the subject. Any additional information goes in the comment. This meme is definitely shipping and...somewhat smut-ish. Smut is likely to happen, but it's absolutely not required. The main purpose of this meme is to explore relationships and character's self-image, in addition to how they're perceived by others. Reply to others.
