It is terrifying to think that one day you will trust somebody enough to let them see you naked. You will undress and remind them that you’ve stretch marks and birth marks and scars from having chicken pox when you were little and scars from all of the other things now. You will blush thousands of shades of red, painting yourself as a rose losing its petals. And that person - that person will take it all in. And I wonder if they will reassure you. But mostly, I wonder if they will even see anything worth reassuring you about. I hope they see each freckle on your back as if it’s a star and you are the whole universe to them.

As someone who has let another individual see them naked, the best thing to do is become secure with your own body before you let others see it. Stand in front of the mirror naked and get used to the way your body looks. You have to be comfortable in your own skin before others will be comfortable enough to look at it.

i disagree... it's like saying that before saving someone else, you should save yourself first. do you know that saving others before yourself will cause yourself to be saved? it's a bit like happiness. serving others for their happiness will make you happy (once you see their happiness, or knowing that they will be happy). you've got to reach out, not in. reaching in will get you nowhere. i do agree that at some point in your life, you should become comfortable with your body, but it's not necessary to do before someone else does.

Im slightly confused by your analogies...I only think its better to be secure about your body before you let others see it so you don't worry so much about what they think, furthermore, it makes people happier to be comfortable with their bodies.
