When women are seeing a new partner, they often have a lack of sexual confidence. They would rather dive hurriedly under the covers than let their partner see them naked. Most women assume that when they are married, their emotional wellness and wellbeing will allow them to feel more confident in front of their partner. A new survey from an online pharmacy has revealed that this often is not the case.
One in six married women in the UK has not let their partner see them fully naked for over a year. This body insecurity and lack of libido mean that women hide their bodies from their partner, and the survey seems to indicate that women’s confidence is at an all-time low. Around 21 percent of women surveyed said that they never look at themselves naked, so it’s no wonder that many do not show their naked bodies to their partners.
The study was carried out as a poll of around 1,902 women aged over 18, who were all in varying relationship statuses. Around 16 percent of the women in the study said that their partner had not seen them naked for at least 12 months – and sometimes it was significantly more. Around 45 percent of those surveyed said that their hiding their bodies was down to a lack of body confidence whilst around 30 percent said they had a low libido, and so did not want their partner to see them naked as there was either no need, or they did not want to initiate anything.
About 40 percent of those who hide their bodies from their partner felt that their relationship had suffered as a result, and around 36 percent of women said that it had even caused arguments with their partner.
