How do I get comfortable enough to sleep naked with my boyfriend?

Do you and your partner sleep naked together? With or without sex?
My boyfriend has expressed that he would like for us to sleep naked together. I'm not comfortable with sleeping naked. If I'm being honest, I'm not comfortable with my naked body. I try not to let my slight discomfort get in the way of our sex life but he recently mentioned how it bothered him that I never just want to be myself around him. He brought up how after sex, I go get cleaned up and dressed again. He wants us to sleep naked together but I am completely petrified by the thought of it.
He sleeps either completely naked or sometimes he will just wear his boxers to bed. When he have sex, he just sleeps completely naked. I on the other hand normally in a t-shirt/tank and panties, sometimes I wear pajama pants to bed.
Yeah, I get naked for sex but that's just a moment, and he is too distracted by the sex to notice all the things I dislike about my body. Sleeping naked is different. Without sex as a distraction, I'm too worried about my body.
I didn't know that he felt like I wasn't being myself around him or maybe (I hope he didn't) he can see that I am not comfortable with my body
but now that I know, I don't want this to be a thing or at least a bigger thing.
So how do I get comfortable enough to sleep naked with my boyfriend?

  • do it once you be easy slowly.

  • try it a couple times and hope u get used to it

  • Sleeping naked is good for your sex life and relationships. And you just have to do it start shirtless move to just panties then nothing

  • Me and my wife sleep naked in my opinion it feels so much better to sleep naked. My wife had confidence issues being naked around me but I love seeing her naked and always try and boost her self confidence.

  • If u are fucking him no reason to be insecure about sleeping naked. U r good enough for him to want to please baby girl. Obviously you have no reason to be insecure

  • Can you force yourself to do it? Like give it a few times and see if it gets easier for you? Because he loves your body. He doesn't notice the imperfections that you do (and no it's not because he's distracted). And if he does, he doesn't care! He wants you to be 100% comfortable with him. I think the more you do it, the better you'll feel and the easier it will get. But regardless just talk to him and tell him how you feel. This is your own insecurities about your body, not how he sees it.

  • Never sleep naked with boyfriend

  • I would guess you could start by wearing slightly more revealing clothes (or removing one article) maybe every three or four days after you've got comfortable in them. If you're too self-conscious maybe try exercising more?

    • I've heard that it is, which is fine by me, lol.

  • It sounds like your not comfortable around him.

  • If you're both asleep he can't notice the things that you don't like about your body either.
