OK, I'm male too but I want to provide another male data point and I want to see some replies from more ladies too.

1. Are you easily embarrassed in general? Would a situation involving you being naked be very embarrassing for you or not?

I am easily embarrassed, but a situation involving me being naked would only be embarrassing if it was a result of a bad decision on my part. If it were something like being photographed naked in a changing room, then no.

2. For those who consider themselves exhibitionists: Why do you like to show your body to other people (either in public or on the internet)?

I am very exhibitionistic. I get off on the idea that a cute chick might be getting off on looking at my body.

For those who are modest: Why do you not like to show your body to other people (except your spouse or significant other)?
For those somewhere in the middle: Why do you not mind letting others see your body?
N/A

3. Hypothetical situation: You are out in public (let's say a crowded shopping mall). Suddenly, your clothes inexplicably disappear, leaving you totally naked. Everyone around you notices and is now staring at you. How do you react? What do you do?

Not my fault, so I'd probably just walk to my car. (Do I still have my car keys?) What would be embarrassing is trying to explain to someone that my clothes just inexplicably disappeared. They probably wouldn't believe me. They'd think I had done it deliberately and that would be embarrassing.

4. Hypothetical situation: You are an actress (you may actually be an actress!) and the role you just took requires nudity. Do you get a body double or do the scene yourself? Would it matter if the role was in a movie or on stage?

I would LOVE to get a role that required nudity, and I would do it myself. Get paid and get official permission to show off my naked body to lots of chicks? Absolutely!!

5. Would you ever go to a place where nudity is accepted/encouraged, like a nude beach? If you've been to one, why do you like to go? If you wouldn't want to go, why not?

I have been to one several times. I liked it. I got horny most times that I went. However, most people would say that I'm too skinny and pale. I got some comments like that. Also, people at nude beaches seem more likely to be rough pot-smoking types. So I didn't feel like I fit in.

6. Hypothetical Situation: You are at a public place where nudity is accepted (let's say a nude beach [even if you've never been to one or intend to ever go to one]). You see someone takes a picture of you. Would this be embarrassing? How would you react? Shrug it off? Or take action?

It wouldn't be embarrassing. I would enjoy it if someone wanted to do it. The only irritation would be that I'm not gay and I would assume that it would probably end up on a gay website, so I would assume that women wouldn't ever see it.

7. Same scenario as above, but you don't know the picture is being taken. The next time you log on to OCC (or some other site), you see your naked self. Now, how would you react?

Same kind of thing.

8. For the "Ladies of OCC": Why do you post nude pictures of yourself on OCC?
If you are not a "Lady of OCC", would you ever consider posting a clothed picture of yourself anywhere online (let alone OCC)? Would you ever consider posting a nude picture of yourself online? Why or why not? (Additional question: Would it matter if your face was blurred? Why or why not?)

I have posted nude pictures of myself on a website with my face cropped/blurred. It was a website where both genders go. I got a lot of insulting comments from guys saying that the pictures looked gay. Dunno how a picture can look gay, but there ya go. So I probably won't do it again.

9. If you are modest: Which would be more embarrassing: Being naked in front of a small group of people that you know (a dinner party at home with friends or co-workers), or being naked in front of a large group of strangers (giving a speech on stage at a conference or convention)?
For exhibitionists: Which would be more "exciting" for you: (Same scenarios as above)?

As I said, the embarrassment would depend on whether they thought it was my fault or not, not on whether I knew them or not. The excitement would depend on whether there were cute chicks there, whether I knew them or not.

10. For those who are modest: What would be the be all, end all most embarrassing naked situation for you to be in? What about this situation would make it more embarrassing than any other? If this situation has already actually happened to you, you need not explain it in detail if you don't want to, but please at least say what the situation was in general. (If the situation was sex-related or truly traumatizing in any way, you probably shouldn't answer this question, both because you probably wouldn't want to, and because I am only looking for answers regarding nudity only.)

Let me put it this way. Once I got drunk at a bar and went home alone, drunk and horny. As I said, I am very exhibitionistic and now I was drunk too. I decided to do something very stupid. I took off all my clothes in the lobby of my apartment building and carried my clothes in one hand and my keys in the other. Then I rode up on the elevator to my apartment and went in. It was about 3 in the morning so I didn't see anyone. But if someone had seen me, it would have been extremely embarrassing later (when I sobered up) because it would be clear that it was my choice to do that. I think that would have been the be all, end all most embarrassing. I don't know why I did it, but probably the fact that it would be very embarrassing was part of the rush that made me do it.

It's different for guys, though. Someone seeing me do that could have gotten me kicked out of that building, arrested, people thinking of me as a dangerous pervert. So it was stupid and I hope I never do anything like that again.

Comments or more answers from ladies?
