Today, I had to explain to my girlfriend why it is inappropriate for her to go skinny dipping with her male friends. FML

My boyfriend wouldn't be explaining why it's not right, he'd be kicking some asses!!

Sure is misogynistic in here... As usual. If he's uncomfortable with it, then yes, she should respect his wishes. Relationships are about give and take, and everyone has their own personal boundaries. Those of you declaring that it's automatically inappropriate no matter what, and that anyone who is okay with it is morally corrupt... I'm just going to assume you're all Americans. Nudity isn't such a big taboo in other cultures, and there's nothing wrong with being comfortable with one's own body as long as it's not hurting anyone else. What this all really comes down to is that she should have been considerate enough to ask him first whether or not he would be okay with it. She was in the wrong here, but not for the reasons most of you are bringing up.

Good to see someone understands its a matter of respect.

Its not a matter of right and wrong... it is a matter of respect. When in a relationship you don't just do whatever makes you feel good, whatever makes you happy, whatever you want to do because it is "your body" but since you are with someone you come to an agreement. And if going skinny dipping with the opposite sex is what is going to make your relational partner very uncomfortable then the respectable thing is to not do it. If you are going to continue to do it then it just shows that you hold yourself in higher regard than the person that you are with and that you still have some growing up to do. I've had issues before with a gf that quickly became an ex cause she loved just hanging all over guys. Not like a quick little hug but I mean wrapping all over and just draping all over them, kissing them, and she didn't think it was a problem. I told her it was. Sometimes they need to see what it is like to understand by seeing you do the same thing or really explaining it... but in some cases doing that isn't worth it and it is best to just cut ties. So this whole "its her body and she can do what she wants with it" is a complete bs argument. Its a matter of respect and she obviously has NONE for her bf.

Maybe the reason she 'lacks respect' for her boyfriend is because he is a jealous bastard who isn't really worried about the skinny dipping part as much as they are the fact that there are other guys out there that his gf hangs out with. Also, he should have known that she skinny-dipped BEFORE they started dating. It's not an issue of respect. If she did something that he didn't like before they started dating then the guy should have decided he would either live with that behavior or would not date her. And I know someone is gonna say that nobody has a perfect match and this is true, however you can still find someone who is at least a close match. If someone is doing something that would make you break up with them before you even start dating, then don't date them.

Wow, Satanistbehavior. When you assume, you make an ass of... just yourself. You're inferring so much information that isn't actually given here and stating it as fact, then basing OTHER conclusions upon these assumptions, that it's kind of alarming.

Implying that the person I replied to wasn't assuming things themselves? This is not an FML worthy story. Skinny dipping is not something that is a problem. It's the boyfriend obsessing over it that is a problem. If he doesn't like his gf, then they should not be dating. Simple as that.

And she will never understand. Sounds like my ex who openly thinks blow jobs are not cheating. Dump her.

Skinny dippy doesn't equal blow jobs though..

It's amazing to me how many people these days (guys and girls both) just don't understand appropriate behavior. If my gf where to skinny dip with other dudes she would no longer be my gf. I prefer chicks with class.

Wow your dating a *****! She's loves ****!!
