I am so self concious of myself and my body that it is effecting my sex life. I hate the way I look, though I am not over weight, I can't stand being seen by my boyfriend. I am also so afraid of performing because I am afraid that it's not going to be "good enough" for him and he's not going to enjoy it. Most of this is because my ex-boyfriend never really mentioned anything he liked from me and always criticized everything I tried to do to pleasure him. Now I have this phobia of performing in bed and or being seen naked. Advice would be greatly appreciated.
Intimacy in dim lighting with some soft playing jazz music via a CD to avoid commercial radio interruptions makes for a atmosphere conducive to romance.
You are not alone, many girls do not feel comfortable exposing themselves. I'd take a guess that if the lights were adjusted to a very low level so you can both still see each other but not every detail on your bodies, you would feel much more at ease.
As far as you hating the way you look and your fear of performing, these sound like areas you may want to consider counseling. I have no idea what brought this about or what is going on in your mind. Seek out a counselor that can address issues of spousal intimacy/sex and most will likely pinpoint the problem and with "YOUR" cooperation, help you to resolve it.
Good luck!!!
