Is there such thing as too much nakedness in a relationship?

Sometimes my mind wanders... and today I was wondering if a long term relationship might suffer from sort of a "too much nakedness" syndrome.

You know, you sleep together naked, dress in front of each other, walk around the house naked, etc - the things that lots of couples do without thought. Does it take away the sexuality of it all? Does it make your naked significant other just something else that you're used to seeing all the time?

In the beginning of a relationship you can often be turned on just by the sight of a naked body part because it's new. As time passes, it seems to take a lot more than that to get things "hot" - doesn't it?

Should people keep their nakedness to themselves to keep their sex life alive? You know - shower alone, sleep in jammies, dress in another room.... Or do you think that generic nakedness doesn't affect sex at all?

It depends on the circumstances - I think you can be naked without being lewd or sexual, I think sensuality is in perception.

deadant7	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 11:20AM I think it could get old pretty quickly. Nakedness needs to retain it's novelty. I agree with the "unwrapping" comment above :) Rated: +2Vote for this!
Andrette	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 10:59AM I think it depends on the personalities of the two partners. Nakedness is important but do not overdo it. There is a place and time for everything. Rated: +1Vote for this!
JanessaB	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 4:50PM I think there is. I had an ex who didn't mind just sitting around drinking coffee or at the computer totally naked, he laughed when he came into the bathroom while I was getting out of the shower and I grabbed a towel to cover myself up. I think nakedness should stay in the bedroom. Rated: +1Vote for this!

ladyerica	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 11:09AM This has been a hot topic of discussion for the ages. As for me I don't have any issues with naked people and I will tell you why. Clothes has a tendency to hide a lot of a persons flaws, but I say whether you are a male or female the human body is a beautiful thing that must be respected and cherished. My partners and I often are in the home either in our underwear or totally naked most of the time and it is a rewarding experience for all of us. We have no secrets physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally, and being nude is just one aspect of it not the totality of the relationship. We find ourselves much more gentle with one another than if we were clothed. I hope this has helped. Rated: +1Vote for this!
ecpc	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 11:06AM Be naked when its natural and/or sensual....Try to avoid wanton nudity to the point where it gets boring..... Anyway,....so far so good......like all i'm seeing is avatars. Rated: +1Vote for this!
bricmpt	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 11:04AM As long as the other's nakedness is good to look at you might be ok. Rated: +1Vote for this!
rusted	Posted Oct 4th, 2009 at 11:29AM I think it's part of becoming used to each other, and trying not to take each other for granted. I don't think nakedness really a factor. A friend of mine is married to a woman he hasn't seen naked in over 25 years. Their sex life is awful. Rated: +1Vote for this!
