It's been a year that I've given birth to my son and I am very insecure about the stretch marks it left me with on my tummy... so much to the point that I prefer to keep my shirt on during sex unless it's dark and if I change in front of my boyfriend, I always have my back to him.
-------
So my question is, do stretch marks bother you? Or do you not really care/pay much attention to them?

My boyfriend has never said anything negative to me about them, but I still can't help feeling insecure.

Giiirl, those are battle scars! The same way these soldiers are proud of theirs, you should be proud of yours. Talk to your man to be sure, but those are nothing to worry about. If anything, they should be a reminder of the beautiful gift you gave him! ;-)

I have seen stretch marks and they dont bother me. But when you ask A question like that I imagine these huge marks that run from the heels of your feet to your cheeks bones AHHHH!! LOL it's probably no big deal.

Oh course guys like girls with flawless bodies but those girls don't exist. I have stretchmarks on my lower abdomen and my boyfriend will lay beside me and run his fingers lightly up and down them. I used to get embarrassed and tell him not to play with them. He would tell me he already knows every stretch mark and they are sign that I'm a real woman. It took me a long time to really be okay with him doing that... but I've heard a lot of guys say that they honestly don't mind the stretchmarks and they think they can be very sexy.

I couldn't care less about stretch marks. I'd hate it if my girlfriend only wanted to get undressed in the dark or with her back turned to me, though! What does it say about the relationship I'm having with such a woman?

It would "bother"(meaning: i will think about it for a second) me if i have never seen you before in my life, and you stripped down for the first time, but only for a second, den i'll have my eye on the bigger picture.
Guys are more understandable than you give us credit. Its part of life, if i was in that position and i cared for you it wouldnt make the slightest of difference.
Tell him that you are a bit insecure about it, and he'll prob say "dont be, im cool with it". what you do then is undress yourself in front of him, that way he'll know that it took alot from you to do that.
Then he'll make love to you like never before. He'll prob go with gentle sex at first..

I agree with a lot of people above me. Those are your battle scars and they show a lot about what great things you've been thru. You brought life into this world and that is one of the most beautiful things I can think of. You will look that those and think of how much you love your child and your family. Honestly, your boyfriend loves you more than you think regardless of those marks. And men are more understanding than you'd expect.

Ma'am, look. My fiance just had our daughter back in August. She had stretch marks from when she had her three year old son. And I still think she is the most beautiful woman in the world. So no, stretch marks don't bother me.

This may sound weird but I honestly think they are very sexy. I think if a woman has had a child (mine or not) it just adds to the sexiness of them. 80% of the women I have been with have had a child and had stretch marks and I think they are sexy, so don't be ashamed you are all woman honey! And bravo to your man too, he sounds like a good one.

I use to be ashamed of them too, but now when I look at them, they remind me of my wonderful pregnancy with my healthy baby, and it's just a reminder. So don't worry, look at the good side of it.
