Modesty Off Switch for Wife

[jnrab]

My wife is very religious and shy and modest.

She still has never worn a bikini to the beach or a swimming pool and she is careful about always being properly covered.

However, in a medical setting, it is as if there is a giant off switch for her modesty.

It is as if she doesn't care who sees what as long as it is for her health.

One time, when she was about 6 weeks pregnant with our first child, she had some abdominal pain (it turned out to be due to some food), and we went to the Emergency Room at the local University hospital.

It was crowded and we were placed in a "room" that was just a set of 3 curtains (2 on the sides and one in the front) that were more often than not left at least partially open.

She was told to undress completely and put on a gown which she did not even caring that the nurse only closed the curtain half way on her way out and she was visible to anyone walking in the hallway.

When the male EKG tech came in to do an EKG and asked her if she could lower her gown so he could attach the leads, she just lowered it all the way, exposing her chest completely without any hesitation.

It being a teaching hospital, there were med students following the doctor and she had no problem with them observing her pelvic exam and transvaginal ultrasound.

What was strange was observing her when we left the hospital after being given a clean bill of health. It was a little windy and she was wearing a skirt, but she was super careful about keeping her skirt down as she got into our car. It was like the switch was flipped back on.

Anybody else have any experiences like this?

I think most women in medical situations turn off their modesty switch.

When my first wife was having our daughter, she had some concerns about not being able to breastfeed due to her tiny nipples. There were a few people (a doc and a couple of nurses) in the room at the time, and my wife unhesitantly pulled down her gown to ask the "professionals" if she was going to have problems breastfeeding. The conversation went on for a few minutes, with everyone looking at her boobs and giving their expert opinion. One nurse even pulled on her nipples to see how far they extended! My wife had never just "hung out topless" like that in front of people before. Once we left the hospital she went right back to her prudish ways (she did eventually become a nudist; but that was years later.)

This happened while we were dating teens, we were married a few years later and in 53 years of marriage it has never happened again. My GF (later wife) had a babysitting job most Friday nights, this couple with an infant liked to go out to dinner and dancing, so she was happy to make a few bucks and the couple had no problem with her BF coming over to "study". The baby was always asleep when I got there and never made a peep, so it was an easy gig.

At the time we had progressed to fingering under clothes and occasionally she let me see, play with and kiss her tits. This on night she kept excusing herself to go to the bathroom and she was acting uncomfortable and she didn't want me to touch her 'down there'. Finally I asked her if something was wrong, she had a hard time explaining it, but apparently a piece of pubic hair had become stuck under the hood of her clit, a place I had played many times but so far she was too shy to let me actually see it. This piece of hair was itching her and making her uncomfortable. She had decided that the only way to get it out was for me to find it, a job I was more than happy to take on.

We found a small flashlight and she assumed to position and peeled her panties off, so for the first time I was getting a detailed look at my happy place. But no time for that, I had a job to do, and I did it quickly and expertly, I found the offending hair and removed it. I was very proud of myself and I was thinking a barrier had been crossed, now the fun would really begin. But no, she wanted to go back to her old rules of modesty. Luckily that didn't last very long, a short time later she saw the silliness of covering up now that I had explored everything and by the next weekend tongues and fingers got into the action.

I would add alteration shops to this list. While the industry is not nearly large as the medical industry, I would bet those that work or have worked in this line of business would say the same. I would especially say for those who have worked in a smaller alterations shop.

From 2014-2000, my wife and I managed a dry cleaning store in our smallish town that also had a clothing alteration shop attached. We had a older Asian lady who did most of the actual alterations while my wife handled the pinning's and fittings. I also helped with measurements and holding the tape for fittings when my wife needed assistance.

A big part of our business was renting out or selling formal attire for different events. This led to our customers having to receive alterations once their clothes arrived. We had one dressing room back in the alteration area that was a decent sized rectangle room with a door that separated it from the rest of the alteration room. The room was big enough for the customers to change and conduct the fitting in the actual room as we had our riser for pinning's also in the dressing room with mirrors.

The setup was ideal for guests as they could change and get the fitting in the same room. However, for those that would try on dresses we had in stock I was the runner and would go and retrieve the different dress sizes and styles while my wife would stay and help the women start prepping or putting on the dresses inside the alteration room.

I would then go back to the alteration room door and knock to leave the dress with my wife as she would open the door and get the dress. After the first few trips my wife would swap out the dresses they had tried on for the new dresses and the majority of the women paid no attention as the door would be open and they would be standing inside wearing their panties, bra or less and never really pay me or anyone else that could see in any attention. I think you had some that probably cared, but most didn't.

Probably the most ironic thing that would occur was when some "Prissy" wife or lady would come in for a fitting and be very uptight about their modesty and being seen by others in the shop, but would completely look over the fact that I was present as they viewed me as the professional helping them get fitted and not as some regular man.

I remember one time we were fitting a formal dress for a black pastors wife as their church was hosting a milestone anniversary appreciation banquet the Saturday evening before their Sunday anniversary service. My wife would always tell the women to bring the undergarments they were going to wear with the dress and shoes to the fitting to make sure the dress was altered correctly and the right length.

The preacher wife had purchased a long black fitted dress from us and had come in for her fitting. My wife explained the told the lady we would be helping her with her fitting. I went and got the dress and when I came back my wife was standing outside the dressing room and the black lady was inside the dressing room with the door closed. My wife knocked and the black woman opened the door slightly and told my wife she was having trouble putting on her shape wear and she needed a little more time. A couple of minutes later the black woman opened the door and grabbed the dress and closed the door back quickly.

A few minutes later she opens the door as she has put the dress on and starts complaining to my wife and I about the sizing around the bust being loose and the need to let the dress out around her stomach/midsection area as she thought it was too tight. Me and my wife start explaining that it was part of the fitting process and assured her it would be corrected after we pinned the dress and made the adjustments.

The lady calmed down and we walk into the dressing room and the lady who was still standing at the door leaves the door open and comes over to start the fitting. During the fitting she started telling my wife how she used to wear girdles under her church outfits, but was trying a body suit she had bought with her to the fitting as she thought it would be more comfortable, but that maybe she had ordered it too small as it was uncomfortable. My wife was trying to encourage the woman to be still as she was pinning as it would throw off the adjustments when she moved.

After a short time my wife finished putting the pins in the dress and my wife told the lady she needed to walk around a bit in the dress and heels to make sure everything moved and fitted right. After a brief walk around the room the lady stopped and said everything was okay and asked my wife if we were finished. I start cleaning up the room.

My wife told her we were finished and the lady said something to the effect of "Well that's great. Now you all are going to have to help me get out of this dress before I pass out". As soon as the black lady said that she pulls off her shoes and started to unzip her dress while coming back up to the riser where my wife and I were, but as she did she stopped looked at the open door and went and closed the door.

She came back up to the riser and my wife helped her unzip the dress and starts helping her get the dress off. My wife then helps her slide out of the dress and she is wearing a black full body shape wear suit that was one piece with like compression style shorts. I continued to clean up and as I am turned toward the riser the black lady leaves the riser and goes over to where her bag is and starts pulling out clothes. She then asks my wife could she help her get out of the suit as she then she reaches up and pulls the straps of the body shaper off and they pulls the entire thing off. I could see everything in the mirrors and the lady was wearing no panties or bra under the suit. All I saw was lots of fairly firm ass and titties as she put back on her underwear and clothes she had worn in never thinking about me. The black woman was a tall thick hipped light skin nice looking black woman probably in her mid 30's.

I still remember that like yesterday as it was so unexpected due to who the lady was. My wife never said anything about it as it was really not all that uncommon for us to experience nudity. I doubt she really thought anything of it, but for me it is timestamped in my memory just because of how the lady had been acting, what the fitting was for and how she had closed the door with me inside.

COVID ended our dry cleaning business and I really have no plans to ever go back to work, but I certainly saw some "pious" wives who came in and rented formal attire over the course of a few years and bet some other men working in this profession has also.

Not quite, but close. I used to sell software that was used primarily by women's clothing stores for point of sale (POS). Most of the stores were small boutiques with only a couple of cash registers and a central PC in the back office. A couple of the stores the office area where the PC was located, was also the fitting area with the riser and mirrors. It didn't happen often but occasionally I'd be in the back doing an upgrade or fixing an inventory problem, the employee would bring a customer to the back to do a fitting, they'd glance over to me and get this "so what, harmless computer nerd look" on their faces and go on with the fitting. I charge about $100 an hour, so the owner didn't want to ask me to stop working, I saw lots of bras and panties, rarely more. One store had a louvered screen around the PC, which may as well not have been there.

One client was a gym, the PC closet was through the woman's dressing room, I had to be escorted in and out, but they had a grill in the wall for ventilation that was very see-thru. Believe it or not, I was usually so busy I hardly noticed.

I have discussed this with agreed that after their first child was born, their wives were a lot less modest, especially in medical settings. Same for my wife.

For sure. During the birth of our first child my wife sported a thick/long bush (my idea). At one point the doctor said he needed to trim her hair so he could see what he was doing. I was thinking, am I really standing here watching a guy trim my wife's bush with a pair of scissors? My wife could have cared less, and I can understand since she was in a lot of pain, but it sure felt different for me.

Another “modesty off” switch my wife has is being near water. Although she’s a nudist, she’s actually quite modest in how she dresses. She’s very busty, but never shows cleavage and often will even safetypin the tops of her outfits to hide it, much to my frustration.

But you get her near water at a C/O beach, and she has no trouble getting naked and walking to the water back and forth by herself. In Spain a few years ago we got to a nude beach after a long cab ride and the only people there were a half dozen naked guys and a clothed American couple. I thought this was going to be a problem, but she stripped off and and said, “As long as we are here.” She’s the same way at our local nude beach which has become a haven for college kids, most of whom are too uptight to get naked. She’ll sit down next to them and even chat naked as they sit there in their bikinis. The fact that she’s older, chubbier and bustier doesn’t seem to phase her since the modesty switch is off.

But the modesty switch goes back on when she’s inside any building away from water, even at nudist resorts. And if we have nudist friends over by our pool, she insists everyone be dressed when we go back into the house, even if it’s 100 degrees out. Hard to understand, but I guess you gotta take the good with the unexplainable.

I've wondered this myself, how some women under certain situations will just almost have a complete personality 180. I've mentioned before how my wife basically drops all her boundaries and defences around her family, and I had a similar thing growing up with my own mum.

My mum has always been very modest, bordering on conservative. She’s always worked a high pressure job in a respected and senior position and much of how she conducts herself would reflect this. She always dressed modestly, one piece swimsuit, never really anything that showed anything. But whenever we went on holiday it was like that went out the window. She’d walk around the house naked, sunbathe topless most of the time regardless of how many people were on the beach. Sometimes she’d even go fully nude on the beach or lakeside.

On a normal day at home she wouldn’t been seen in any state of undress, not even underwear or a bikini, but the moment we were on holiday she would become a different person. It was always such a dramatic and sudden transition. I never paid it much notice when I was younger but as we all got older I found myself more and more fascinated by this strange transition into holiday mode where all of her inhibitions would just go out the window.

No one at home would ever walk around naked or get dressed except for behind closed doors. Seeing my mum brazenly expose herself in holiday eventually turned into this strange thrill that I would start looking forward to. It was so surreal for me knowing how uptight and properly she presented herself in day to day life, and then going on holiday and seeing her laying out on the beach completely bare, chest and flaps on display for anyone who stopped to look. And the older I got the more I would notice how many people would. Particularly older married guys, family men on holiday themselves.

I remember one time in particular, we were staying at a cabin on a campsite by a lake. We were all at the beach, down one end on a quiet spot, I was in the water with, my siblings had swam over to a floating pontoon further away and my dad had gone back to the cabin to pick some stuff up. I was looking back towards the sand and noticed that since we had been in the water my mum had completely undressed, and there was a guy around my dad’s age slowly making his way along the beach. Eventually he came within a few metres of my mum and the started chatting. I was transfixed watching it, he was more or less fully dressed, standing over her chatting away while she lay there stark naked, not even bothering to close her legs. She always kept her pubic hair really closely trimmed and away from the lips, so literally everything was on display. They would have chatted for at least five minutes before he headed back the way he came. Later that day as we were all making our way back to our cabin we saw him again and he waved hello to my parents. I realised he and his family were staying in the cabin a couple of spots down and both of my parents had already met and spoken with him before he saw her like that. It was such a rush for me knowing he’d seen her and met her fully dressed before finding her stark naked on the beach like that. I feel like on any normal day she would have been mortified to be seen like that by someone she knew. I wondered how many of her colleagues or how many of my dad’s friends would have paid to be in that position.

After reading these stories I realized I have one too.

I had a girlfriend named Linda about 20 years ago who was very conservative. She was 32 at the time in the summer of 2000. We went to my aunts lake house in Idaho for a weeks vacation. They had a nice deck over looking the lake with a few trees around it. if you sat in the right spot on the deck it would be pretty hard for the neighbors on either side and people on the lake to see you. So I took my swimsuit off and ask Linda if she wanted too.

She looked around and thought it wasn't private enough for her to do that and was afraid people could see. So we just sat for a while, watching all the boats go by and talking about stuff. After a while she started getting lovey-dovey and wanted to have sex. I said okay lets go inside, but oh no she wanted to do it outside on the deck! I thought here's a gal that wont get naked in public but shes okay having sex? So I screwed her really good on the deck and I think I was the one more skeptical about doing that at the time, but I did have lots of fun doing it!

Oh those good old memories!
