My wife is very accepting of my home nudity and will occasionally join me - after sauna or hot tub for instance. Out of respect for her, I have not pursued any social nudity as she is not comfortable with me being nude around others. That's fine, I am willing to wait and see as there has been some softening in the past year. However, I am aware that I seek the 'social' aspect by looking for nudity on TV, Twitter or whatever. I avoid porn but seeing others nude in this way feels like it normalizes my nudity. I am concerned that because this desire is strong, and wonder if it is unnatural. I tell myself that nudity should be normal for me, yet seek to see any hint of it on TV or in real life. Am I alone in this? Is this part of my growing or am I going the wrong way?

But since the subject came up we have had several good talks. I do not much care for spicy food or emotional talk and i will NOT eat guacamole. She does not care for eating tongue or excessive punning and will NOT - even alone - be nude. But we can talk.

So in my thinking "porn" or the desire to observe "porn" is "unnatural" (counter to God's design and will for our lives), and therefore, should be avoided at all costs
