Are naked/topless girls ever triggering to you?

[N.Chaos]

I feel like I'm some kind of weirdo. Worse, I feel like one of those psychotically fundamental religious people that think nudity is a big sin or something and that just...bothers me.

I can't shake the combination of depression/disgust/anxiety I get when I see tits, though. Which makes it a little nerve wracking to be so addicted to Tumblr sometimes. I felt like a dick for it, but I unfriended one of my best friends because I kept getting really messed up from the massive influx of giggling gifs she seemed to post constantly.

So...am I the only one like this? A massive part of this is probably because I'm only attracted to guys, I'd imagine you straight guys have no problem with it (presumably, obviously correct me if I'm wrong, please).

I'm just starting to feel like a complete freak or something.

[Sharky]

Straight, no problem.
I doubt you're the only one though.

I'm mostly gay but breasts don't bother me if they aren't my own. I breastfed a baby for over a year though, and I grew up partly in comic book culture, so I might just kinda be desensitized.

[N.Chaos]

Hrm...I wish I was more desensitized to it, you'd think all those hours spent on 4Chan would've amounted to something along those lines, lol.

You are a stronger man than I.

I guess being attracted purely to girls and having a girlfriend along with countless hours on the internet - particularly Tumblr - all adds up to why female nudity doesn't really trigger or phase me.
I can understand why for some people it could be pretty triggering/upsetting, though. What a bummer.

I'm sure you're not the only one! Don't feel psychotic. Everyone's triggers can be different.

One of my IRL trans male friends has this problem.

[Nygeel]

Topless women don't bother me and neither do bottomless men.

You aren't alone on this and I'm only attracted to guys too. I think its quiet natural.
It used to be really bad before pre everything and I was in art school where one can't avoid female nudes.. It was horrible because they reminded of my female body. All I could do was close my eyes when they were shown in classes and etc.

Still painful to see girls with big boobs walk by though.. but it gets better after some progress with transition

[bojangles]

Does not bother me now, probably because I no longer associate their parts with my own.
So I'm free to just enjoy them (straight guy).

However, before T and top surgery nudity and porn of any kind made me extremely uncomfortable.
It was as if I was trapped in the role of the person with similar parts and being violated. Believe it may be related to being socialized as female. This is done against our will, right? When you are constantly told this is you, but cannot relate to it, it's pretty damned hard to be comfortable. Different personalities gonna experience that in different ways. If that makes us weird, at least we're in good company.

I dont have a problem with breast, but I do have a problem with pregnent people and I feel bad about it.

[Korlee]

Psh, 4chan is nothing but shock value without substance.  You'd be better off as a gamer if you want to really desensitize yourself to it..  Shock value, horron, sci-fi, and more all with substance. ;3

I see a lot of people mention this. I got pregnant as a teenager and it was a really weird experience. I'm not sure what to say about it - the aversion people have or my own past - but it's interesting how much biological realities affect our mental lives.

[Squirrel698]

You bet it's triggering to see naked ladies! 

Probably not in the way you mean however ...

Don't feel bad about unfollowing someone on Tumblr.  You should have your stream the way you want it.  Just because you don't like their blog doesn't mean you dislike them as a person.  Stand up for yourself if they ask. 

[ForWantOf]

I don't have a problem with seeing naked girls, (I'm straight though) but I do get that way when I see naked guys, or even just shirtless guys. I feel really uncomfortable any time I see a guy that I feel that I look like, or should look like anyway, and I get incredibly self conscious and the whole 9 yards. So I guess I can relate to you in a way. I'm sure it's not uncommon though. If I see a girl who has a body similar to mine, I'm a bit disgusted and I find it attractive in no way at all. Which is hard because it took me awhile to find feminine hips attractive since I've hated mine for so long.

I'd say it just comes from something deep-rooted of disliking the body you were born with, or being uncomfortable with it, so you might subconsciously see traits of yourself that you dislike in those images.

It's only triggering for me when I see breasts much smaller than mine. I get jealous really easily.

[Natkat]

 like forwantof, I can get pretty sad/jelous of halfnaked guys once in a while,
or girls who a boyish and seam to pass pretty well without even trying...

[Felix]

^this. I love to look at boys, but it can make me feel pretty terrible about myself sometimes.

Also this.

And also, it depends on the naked chick on what my reaction is. If I find her attractive, well it may just be the opposite reaction you're having! I've disassociated myself from my tits so long ago (they never once felt "natural" on me and they don't do one damn thing for me) that it doesn't trigger any bad body stuff for myself. But seeing dudes? That can definitely be a trigger for me because I know I can never have that "perfect" bod.

shirtless girls don't bother me probably because i don't think of what i have as breasts, they dont seem anything like breasts to me, maybe its denial i dunno

shirtless guys make my dysphoric though
