  • "I Don't Show My Private Parts to Just Anyone!"

    What has been one of the most embarrassing moment with a guy you've gone out with?  I'm sure I can think of loads myself.  One particular event springs to mind and this takes me back a while back.


    I can't remember what time of year it was but I know it was sometime in 1986.  I was still working with Air Malta at the time and I decided to go on a short trip to Germany - Stuttgart to be exact.   I didn't know any German whatsoever but I took it in my stride and went out one night to a local bar on my own (I was brave and young back then).  It was there that I met Bernie.  He was Canadian from German descent and was living and working in Germany at the time.  Anyhow we really hit it off and I spent the rest of my holiday with him.  We talked on end, went on walks in the nearby forest and so on.  He also introduced me to his friends.  I remember cooking pasta at his place one evening for everyone.  So far so good.

    One day he asked me if I wanted to play squash.  I gladly accepted since I was really into the game at the time.  So we played our squash game at the Fitness Club.  His male and female friends came along too.  Then he asked if I wanted to have a sauna.  Well I was game for that too.  So I went into the changing room and covered my bare body with a large towel.  The trouble was that I didn't have a place to leave my hand bag.   For some reason or another I didn't put it in a locker.  Don't ask.  Anyhow, I strutted along wrapped in an enormous towel with my equally large hand bag slung over my shoulder.  Anyone who knows me knows I have a thing for large handbags and that they're always full of stuff.  Never mind that.

    As I entered the sauna room I was sort of taken aback because the men and women inside (including the friends I had dinner with the night before) were nude.  Well nearly everyone.  I did not take my towel off!!!  I think that was the most unconformable experience in my life.  I felt completely out of place.   I remember that I sat down with my towel snuggled in place and gently put my bag on the floor.  Believe me I got to know the wooden floor really really well for I was too embarrassed to look at the naked people around me.  And they were equally astonished by my behavior.   In fact they were laughing and smirking at the sight of me.  They poked fun at me, in both German and English,. for being so shy about my own body.  Heck, what can I say, I have an excuse: I am a private person - I don't show my private parts to everyone that is!   And in our country we like to keep our towels on in the sauna - at least that's how I remember it in the 80s.

    Anyhow after that amusing afternoon, Bernie bought tickets for the Dire Straits concert.  This was one of the few times I saw any band live and they were simply fantastic.  The atmosphere was great, the music was great, everything was great that night...I enjoyed myself tremendously that evening. 

    Today it's only fitting to post one of their songs - Money for Nothing from their Brothers in Arms Album tour.

    When I think of Dire Straits I think of that embarrassing moment and the short romance I had with Bernie.  A nice guy after all - but an Aries, so it wasn't bound to last.

    So do you have an embarrassing moment with a guy or girl you were going out with?

    In 2001 I was in Finland and had a sauna too. Most of them have their saunas at home and I didn't know what to expect when my friend asked if I wanted to try it.
    Well, considering that my female (finnish) friend smartly avoided to come with me (maybe thinking I would try some dirty move) I joined friend (male) of her. Well, I let him a little advantage to check out which point of nakedness he would reach and, when I discovered he reached "the highest point" I thought "oh hell, let's try it out and don't look like the embarassed foreigner". It worked and, after I while I forgot being naked with another person there. He was kind and funny person and his topics made look the whole experience very nice.

    I have to say the worst moment I ever had occurred just a couple weeks ago when my new boyfriend saw me digging around my nostril with my finger.

    In my defense, I had been waiting about an hour with something stuck in my nose, and he was laying on his side, so I thought he couldn't see me at all if I couldn't see him, but I failed to take into account the body length mirror in the room.

    I think I about died of embarrassment, even when he said it was cute.

    I don't sauna in the nude but I do feel comfortable with my own body. Yes, I have several uncomfortable moments, when my friends have parties and some random drunk gal fell upon my shoulder or lap and snoozes away while I was stuck there with a drink in my hand or feel the need to pee.

    I wasn't technically dating this guy, but he told me after we'd been making out for like, 15 minutes straight, that I had no clue what I was doing. That was awkward...except he was the one trying to strangle me with his tongue, and he had the nerve to accuse ME of being a bad kisser?!!! I was too stunned to tell him that when it comes to french kissing, less is definitely more. Fortunately the guy I started dating after that completely disagreed with him

    Dear Original Poster, I'd do the same thing as you if I were in your situation!
  • Meowmeowkimmaee@xanga

    Oh my gosh, I saw a naked girl in the sauna of the locker room too. I was so shocked.
  • Starring_Hobo89@xanga

    During my first year of Junior hockey, we were playing at home and I got first star of the game. After getting out of the shower, my teamates shoved all the rookies out of the room thru the "EXIT" door in the back of our dressing room. We were all naked and it was around -10 degrees outside. To get back to the dressing room, we had to go thru the main entrance where many fans were still waiting. Since it was freezing outside, didn't have a choice but to run thru the people and go back inside. Needless to say, it sucked big time!

    in my country we just have our bathing suit on in the sauna. that's more comfortable then being wrapped in a towel, and definately more comfortable than being naked. :]

    When I was in junior high, I went bodyboarding on the Waimanalo side of Oahu.  I wiped out, and lost not only my board, but also my trunks.  To this day, I have no idea how the trunks not only came off my waist, but how they came off of my legs.  But anyway, ever since then, I've worn board shorts, not swim trunks, whenever I go bodyboarding.  I was able to recover my board, which washed ashore.  But I never did find the trunks.  Lest I be seen nude, I waded back to shore, but stayed hip-deep in the water.  I waved to my parents, and had them bring me a towel.  I must have looked odd, being at the beach with a towel wrapped aroud my waist.  But as I was all sandy (the sand there is fine, and clings to your body), I had to grin and bear it, while washing off at the outdoor shower.

    HAHA THATS GREAT


    um kissing someone i buthead them lol
  • erahslover@xanga

    @sarahzthoughts@xanga - he was probably trying to egg you on. i dated a girl who couldnt kiss AT ALL, her tongue never moved at all, she was ALL lips... and every 30 seconds she would lightly BITE my tongue while tugging on my ear(it was adorable.. but i dunno if i could've handled that for longer than we dated)... After you make out with someone for like 15-20 mins and their tongue doesnt move you try to coerce them into moving it by putting your tongue in their mouth ahahha. Thats not uncommon, I promise :D

    My embarrassing moment was meeting my ex's mom and sister for the 1st time.... everything was cool, but SHE is one of those girls who tells hr mom and sister EVERYTHING. So a particular body piercing of mine came into conversation after only 30mins into the dinner date. The chick buried her face into her hands and turned red because she was banking on her mom NOT bringing that up... and her sister did nothing but instigate. Pretty hilarious looking back on it.. but at the time I was pissed she allowed me to walk into that situation unprepared. I went on and answered every question they asked until it got to the point where her sister said in not so many words if she could see it... I ended the night with letting em know her sister had a pic on her phone and it'd be up to her.

    We stopped seeing each other a month or two later lol... I still talk to her sister from time to time on myspace/gmail chat though haha.

    I am bashful when it comes to my hidden treasure. I don't blame you.

  • DarcKleer@xanga

    @FreeeVerse@xanga - me too!! I am very self conscious and just can't help it. I have to be really, really, REALLY comfortable with someone before they see me naked.

  • Bbyphat22@xanga

    They aint ready for all this jelly. LOL
  • sarahzthoughts@xanga

    @erahslover@xanga - Okay I wasn't entirely aware that french kissing was necessary for making out. I mean just because someone doesn't use tongue (or that much of it) doesn't necessarily mean they don't know how to kiss...it's possible to make out without using any, I think the biggest problem is when someone uses too much of it and gets all sloppy. Then again, since everyone is different, maybe there is no right or wrong in this area...
  • journalofsparkles@xanga

    I don't think nudity is terrible, or something to be shameful about. :/
  • BlehhItsTu@xanga

    You let his birth sign rule out your relationship? x_x

  • BlehhItsTu@xanga

    @gatorgirl54@xanga - ROFL. This is the funniest thing I've read in a while!!
  • erahslover@xanga

    @sarahzthoughts@xanga - eh, its just weird(to me) to make out for a duration spanning longer than 15 mins without there being any tongue whatsoever... like... awkward. Like how people used to fake-kiss in movies from the 20's thru the 50's

    like a series of slow pecks... ugh. thats some cutesy stuff yo to with someone youve been dating for a while I think haha.

    why do i feel bizarre explaining that kissing style ahahha.
