    Someone posted earlier today that being naked is a trigger. I responded that for me, being naked is not a trigger.

    I just wondered if others mostly find their own nakedness triggers them or not. Please vote and/or discuss...

    Being naked makes it easier to act on a trigger.
    I understand that young men walk around in naturalist groups without showing permanent arousal, so, it isn't a trigger for everybody. I would guess that the first attempts would be more arrousing, but with time it would loose its novelty. It could help with accepting and being comfortable with ones own body, but it could also be playing with fire.

    Not for me...

    I find staying at home naked quite relaxing, actually...
    And, I do not find stark, plain nakedness that much triggering, in general (depends of course of the "quality of the display" :D)...

    For example, I find Wife much more "triggering" when changing/undressing rather than when already naked (no complain on the quality of the display, mind me... )
     
  4. Triggers are completely subjective. Being naked may be a problem for some but not others.

  5. Yea, I consider that a trigger, many people M while they are taking a shower, and thats the reason, being naked makes it alot easier to PMO, you start thinking sexually about something and then HOP... you relapse.

    It is not a trigger on its own. The problem with being naked is though, that you can touch yourself easier. Touching yourself, especially in the genitals is a trigger without any question.

    I would summarize: Being naked increases the risk of getting triggered.

    Of course. The question is: is it a trigger for you.

    Thanks @Jen@8675309. The same for me, as I said above.

    By the way, people. It may be easier to indulge while naked.

    But the question is: is your being naked a trigger to you?

    It's a trigger for me..
    I am attracted to myself. I sound stupid :(
    I don't even need to fantasize things just to masturbate.

    I never got triggered to fap everytime I stare at myself in the mirror butt naked. I mean.. to me, it doesn't work that way.

    It is good to know your specific weaknesses and set your boundaries accordingly. Thanks @IggyIshness.

    There was a time when I enjoyed fapping in front of a mirror, but being naked is not a trigger for me. It does make it easier to get to work, but it isn't the motivation.
