And having no support from one's partner is a fabulous start to overcoming insecurity.

If the OP cannot recognize this, then yes, best to leave the guy to someone who will actually be supportive.

Yep, that's correct. Many men seem to want a prepubescent look on a woman.

What a far cry from how things were when I was a teen or even earliest adulthood.

Honestly I think you just have to tell him you'd really enjoy it if he took his shirt off with you. Even tell him you love a man with hair his hair and body etc.. Give him confidence with it as it sounds as if that's what's going on.

I can have a good bit of hair that I don't care for either, that's why I trim/shave it. I love having my shirt off. Very comfortable. I like looking good with it off also though. I exercise like a mad man so I don't like to feel insecure with my shirt off.

I'd imagine the issues is an insecurity with him.

This is what I'm going to do. I know its hard to believe from this post, but we are close to one another and talk about everything I've just been avoiding this but I don't want to anymore. If he tries to stop me I'm going to tell him I want us to be completely intimate and I think he's perfectly handsome the way he is. I think at that point he's going to give in but if not that's okay too. It's not a deal breaker

How long does he last in bed, OP?
Surprisingly a long time. He's the first guy I've slept with that actually makes me orgasm before he does and really cares about my pleasure. The previous partners I've had were more focused on themselves

Go for it. You have already decided it is not a deal breaker, so the downside is very limited.

MANY times it takes a firm nudge to get someone over the top, and you only need to succeed once. If you succeed, then the road is clear; if you fail you can try something else, later.

Long enough to unzip and get a grip?

Just rip his shirt off and oil him up for a massage. How can sex even be enjoyable when his back and chest are off limits? How do people live like this...?

Would you say the same thing if a woman didn't want to have her bra off during sex, and then suggest having the guy just rip it off?

Obviously, the guy likely has some hangups, but at the end of the day, you can't/shouldn't force him (or anyone) to do something they don't want to do.

What do you mean by off limits? It really doesn't alter the experience that much..
