Of course I'm self-conscious about how I look. I spend 15 hours a week standing in front of groups of young adults talking to them. The half that actually pay attention sometimes look at me.

I'm not the least bit reluctant to be nude in front of my wife, but we do both find lingerie, on me at least, to be much more interesting and sexy than simple nudity most of the time.

Otherwise, yeah, I'm aware that I'm too thin, flat-chested, no hips to speak of, a figure that better resembles a pre-pubescent boy than a 30 year old woman, an oddly shaped face with practically no chin and a nose that's too thin and pointy. Since my accident I've been wearing long sleeves to avoid drawing attention to my badly scarred left arm and hand. My wife and sister say that it isn't noticable if you aren't looking for it, but that's not really relevant. I see it, I notice it, and that makes me self-conscious and uncomfortable, especially when anybody else notices.
