I have a clear face now, but I have lost the battle against body acne. Actually, it´s not even acne, but tons of raised clogged pores that never seem to disappear. They were left in the wake of accutane and appear to be immune to all otc treatment.

I was just wondering which is better, the weirdness of keeping your shirt on or exhibiting body acne?

I mean it´s totally reasonable for me to keep my shirt on and there´s no reason for a girl to object. I am actually doing it for her benefit. She would naturally assume I have clear skin all over my body when she sees my face.

Why should I dissuade her from this notion and repulse her by taking off my shirt? I am doing her a service by leaving it on. So far I have not been asked to explain myself, but I am extremely worried that my partners are thinking I´m a freak or rightly suspect that I am hiding some skin disease (I do have body acne, but if they were to ask me I would most certainly lie and say that I have nothing wrong with my body). The last two girls I was with have both said that I am crazy/psychotic and I am concerned that this act of leaving my shirt on has partially contributed to their negative opinion of me.

Keeping it on is sending bad vibes, mate. Just take it off, and be confident.

If you're confident enough to have sex with a girl, you should be confident enough to be naked in front of her.

Also, I doubt a girl would call you crazy/psychotic because you kept your shirt on during sex. Sooooooo it might be something else making them say that.

Just sayin'.

This doesn't directly answer your question about the shirt deal, but have you ever tried simply cleansing all affected areas of your body with sea salt water?? Dissolve 1/2 tbsp of sea salt per 1 cup of water. Use a wash cloth soaked with this sea salt water to wash your body every time you shower. You might even consider re-applying the sea salt water lightly after you towel off so it can continue to work throughout the day/night. I only ask, because this is working wonders for my acne on my face as well as body... and my skin has never been so smooth! Either that or if you live near the ocean, take a swim a couple times a day and let the salty water air dry. Good luck to you.

Uh, keeping the shirt on would be weird and probably cause suspicion. You should be comfortable around the girl, especially if you're sleeping with her.

how would you feel if she kept her shirt on? its not really any different. it sounds like your back acne is not even that bad....i've got some pretty bad flare ups on my back and occasionally even cysts but i regularly wear strapless dresses and dont really mind taking my shirt off in front of my guy......i figure no one is really looking at my back in that situation anyway.

i'm a guy but i think most chicks would find that kinda weird

you plan on never taking your shirt off around any girls?

[methos]

take it off, trust me...

for one, the girl will appreciate your confidence... more than likely she has things about her body that she's not too comfortable with or wishes she could change, everyone is like that... trust me, it'll be fine...

another good reason is that you don't want the bottom of your shirt to be getting in the way during sex lol... especially if there's spare buttons or anything stitched to the bottom... not only would that ruin the mood, but if it gets caught at a 'thrusting' moment, you'll both know about it in short order lol

Just tell her how you feel.

Take off your shirt and go for gold. As a lady, I would not care if a guy had acne on his chest/back or his face. Confidence is key. And if you're not confident, just pretend you are and she won't know the difference.

This is awesome advice.

Nothing to add. Ah Elle you are so wise. Like a miniature Buddha covered in hair.

Guys who are insecure=not sexy.

Guys who are totally secure and willing to show me their flaws=sexy.

But maybe that's just me. Everyone likes something different.

[Timehealsall]

she probably wouldnt even notice it

The last two girls I was with have both said that I am crazy/psychotic and I am concerned that this act of leaving my shirt on has partially contributed to their negative opinion of me.

I think when there's a breakup, that it's not uncommon for someone to say the other person was "crazy." I think just about every girl my ex dated before me was crazy or a psycho-bitch according to him. I think I myself was also labeled crazy at the end, but who knows, maybe I managed to make it to full-fledged psycho-bitch status by now, lol.

Honestly, I don't think the girl would even notice or care, especially since it's just clogged pores. I would not be disgusted even by actual body-acne. I cared more about what the guy thought about me than what his back looked like. My advice would be to focus on making her feel special and beautiful.

Just in case... I was rekindling the past with an anchorman quote, not insinuating that you are not groomed or that you are german. x

Well, I am quite well-groomed, but I am actually partially German so I am okay with this.

Just be confident
