I think I vary between my moods and who the person is in question. I think most people are the same. I've had friends that thought nothing of changing in front of me one time, then next they want privacy. I can be disappointed when a change like that happens, and I partially worry if I've done something wrong, but I'm not offended by it. I have times where I don't like to be touched, even by Sharon, so I get how moods shift and can change how one relates to others.

I truly admire your ability to accept the naked form without it falling back on lechery. Thank you. I'm no angel, I love a good perve, but I tend to compartmentalise things. If I'm massaging someone it's about doing a good job on the massage, and I can't do that if I'm distracted by lust for their body. When I'm playing Santa and I have women in low-cut summer tops leaning forward in front of me all day as they fuss about their children, I can't appreciate the view, because when playing Santa I'm effectively sexless. Sex informs behaviour, so it's hard to take a good nude of someone if your mind's distracted from what you want to achieve photographically by your thoughts, sexually.

I do have a thing about wanting to see the people I love naked. I feel happy, contented that they are willing to be vulnerable in front of me. It's something of an honour, isn't it? I like being allowed to see such a private side because it shows I'm trusted, or at least not considered a threat. I also like the way people will talk more openly about things, when naked. You can sometimes see the real person, and it's a revelation.
