NSFW How to strip with confidence?

He definitely wouldn’t laugh at you. Own it! :) If you’re really worried about him laughing at you (which I’m sure you shouldn’t be), get him warmed up first by teasing him a little. After that, he’ll love whatever you do.

If you can dance you can strip, and if you have no rhythm at all, I suggest learning to dance first. Take classes or something. And if you expect your boyfriend to laugh at you, then you shouldn’t be trying for him at all.

I don’t expect him to laugh at me. He said he would never laugh at anything I do. I’m just scared that inside he might think I am bad.

I asked my Nana which happens to work at a Nudie-Bar and she said if you feel self conscious, you might want to try it by candle light

First don’t do it drunk. And second, most men want their woman to be a little bad. We’re men.

@Dibley Well your self-esteem is already smashed to pulp, and this is an issue that is way passed stripping for your boyfriend. Your boyfriend doesn’t even have anything to do with it, you just have problems with your own image that is preventing you from doing it and this can not be fixed without help from yourself and it won’t be overnight.

Watch the movie Flashdance or Striptease and I would say practice in front of a mirror to get a a couple signature moves down pat.

@Blackberry Was that really necessary? Or civil?

I recommend having a large glass of liquid courage.:)

Like @Adirondackwannabe said, don’t do it while drunk, maybe tipsy but not drunk. If you bust your ass because you were smashed, it’ll definitely ruin it for you. And second, trust, he will not laugh at you. Far from it.

I love it when my wife strips. What?! Go ahead and do your thing.

There is nothing—NOTHING—in the world quite as exciting as seeing your woman get naked. I don’t care if she is sitting on the side of the bed struggling to get her pantyhose off, or if she is making an act of it. I don’t care if she looks silly of professional. I just can’t wait to see her emerge from those layers of glamor into her true, sexy self.

@wundayatta True indeed.

Theres nothing to be scared of, hes not going to make fun of you. just striptease him, nothing should go wrong.

It has nothing to do with dancing. Slow and graceful does it. You know what bits he likes best, save them for last. Don’t wear anything that you have to struggle to get out of. You’re a beautiful lady and I’m sure your b/f thinks so too. He’s not going to think you are “bad”, you are giving him a beautiful gift!!

Confidence girlfriend. And if your boyfriend loves you. He will indeed love the stripping.

Let’s just say you suck at it, like you give the worst, most clumsy, most awkward striptease in the history of stripteases.

Does your boyfriend love you and think you’re sexy and wonderful and adorable? Then while me might know mentally that you’re really terrible at this, he will love that you have the balls to do it, the desire to do it for him, and that you’re getting naked, however goofily.

Have you ever had a guy you really care about cook for you and it turns out awful? You know it tastes terrible, but that’s not the point. It’s still awesome and endearing that he tried.

Go for it.

There comes a point where you just have to say… Fuck it!

Just “Get it girl”.

@lucillelucillelucille Beat me to it :)

@Adirondackwannabe That was not supposed to sound mean. It doesn’t even sound that way when I read it again, at least to me. She is already aware of her issues, it’s not like I was airing all of her stuff out to embarass her, she comes to fluther and tells us her own problems, I was trying to give her a less sugar-coated answer that I felt would actually help.

I really like @DrasticDreamer‘s answer. Tease him a little first and then go into your striptease. At that point, you could probably slip on a banana peel and he’d find it sexy.

slow and with a easy hand

Wow, it’s like this question was pulled from the deep recesses of my brain.

I would suggest using a song that is musically descriptive of your apprehension. (I like Rise by Craig Armstrong because it really, musically describes my deep fear of ridicule and vulnerability.)
Also, you can use candlelight as @Pretty_Lilly suggested.

Another song I like is called Choke by Hybrid

These songs express my personal apprehension towards this kind of sexual vulnerability. You should choose some songs that personally fit for you. It really makes it easier when you have sounds present that express your deep inner feelings.

(I’ve really thought about this a lot. lol.)

G/Q

I won’t generalize and say men as I answer, but I think most of this is generalizable. If you have a woman you are sexually attracted to and she does something sexy, you will find it a turn on. So I think that as long as the mood is right when you decide to do it you can’t go wrong. It won’t matter how “well” you do it he is going to appreciate it and enjoy it.

@sleepdoc .. nice to see you again :) great answer.

Get him ready, do a lap dance, and start strippin’!

Be like Nike and JUST DO IT! Both of you will be glad you did!

Practice in front of someone else first (I volunteer)

Confidence, Dibley! You’re wonderful and he knows it!

If this makes you happy to make him happy, then go for it. who knows? you may have just discovered what your true ambition in life is all about.

He will not laugh. he knows better.
