Vulnerability and an antique chair - a photo on Flickriver

            I find that I don't take a lot of photos in my underwear. On one hand, it feels too revealing for a more casual setting, especially since the underwear tend to reveal the contours of what's underneath. So I opt for just a shirtless photo. But in a setting where it's expected for me to show my body, an underwear photo feels underwhelming when I could just be naked. I suppose I should just share these photos more in both settings. I value being authentic and vulnerable, and presenting myself in nothing but underwear can be a relatively safe yet poignant way to do that.
