When I see nudity on a movie I get very antsy and uncomfortable. This seems to be especially so when they are cheating. I know its just a movie but I can't get over it. I never use to be like that and I'm 18 with a boyfriend. Is there something wrong with me?

Asked by Akota_pup (34points) March 28th, 2009

For some reason lately I’ve been very touchy on the subject of movie nudity. I just feel like you hardly ever see a mans penis but you see a womans boobs all the time I feel thats discriminitory. I don’t know why, I want to get over it I really do, I’m a month away from being 19 and I feel childish. My boyfriend who Ive been with for two years who we both love eachother so much never has a problem with it and I feel like when we’re watching a movie with he and his family that I’m letting him down when I ask to leave the room. I need some help, any comments or suggestions??

Awwww =(. Well it’s obviously an insecurity issue but if your looking for mechanism’s to actually prevent this type of thought process you just need to adopt a more healthy, happy perspective on these sort’s of aspect’s that unfornately alot of movie’s, music video’s etc do have to a certain degree which on an off note I feel are advertising all the wrong message’s in this day and age and is hardly ever necessary to have in the first place but anyhoo.

Basically what i mean for instance is ask yourself the right question’s rather then the wrong one’s. I’m sure when you take the time to think about it you feel that your b/f is gaining some sort of interest, or fantasy fulfillment from viewing such image’s, “Is he checking her out, why does he look that way at the screen, is her chest more attractive then mine to him, why did he make that comment for in that mood all of a sudden” etc etc all those various insecurity question’s that don’t do you any favour’s and before you know it you’ve become one analytical insecure ticking time bomb!!. But just as ninjacolin briefly pointed out BLOCK THEM ALL OUT. If you actually have persisting problem’s with this just ask your b/f to validate those wavering question’s you have. It will definetely put them all to ease knowing you can trust your b/f’s opinion’s on them.

I understand totally what you mean and don’t misintepret what I’m saying here as I really don’t want you to apply a total apathetic approach to this type of issue, but really just take the time to offer that to yourself with some positive reassurance, and TRUST that your partner isn’t the type of person that would condone that sort of perverbial mentality. Don’t linger on these sort’s of thing’s for too long sweetie they could seriously do harm and strain your relationship with a whole flurry of trivial pointless insecure argument’s before you know it!

To sum it all up. Ask the right question’s to yourself, think positive, be self-confidant and trust your partner and have that open communication whenever neccesary.=^.^=

You can see a blue penis in the Watchmen, if it makes you feel better.

A bunch of gigantic blue penises that is. The penis to boob ratio is fantastic. And it glows.

Disregarding the part about penises vs. boobs because I feel like that isn’t the prominent question here – if it is, correct me, please. :)

…There’s nothing wrong with feeling this way. Yeah, it’s probably grounded in some kind of instance that @InEv3 mentions, but feeling this way shouldn’t be thought of as a “bad” thing… it’s personal preference, even if it’s not mainstream society’s personal preference (as evidenced in most of the movies put out today).

That being said, it’s too late and there’s too many words involved to go into my own issues with nudity in the media – but rest assured that I tried to keep my own biases out of that response.

You’re young and perhaps still naive. As you get older, you’ll realise these things happen a lot, and they are horrible.
