I’m a coach & I think EVERY woman should strip off for her husband like Catherine Zeta Jones – here’s my posing tips

A POSITIVE psychology practitioner to the stars has reacted to Catherine Zeta-Jones, baring all for her hubby and saying that “everyone” should do the same.

The 55-year-old actress shared a racy snap as part of a joint birthday gift for her other half, 80-year-old actor, Michael Douglas.

Wearing nothing, but a pair of black heels, Zeta-Jones proved that she’s still very much got it while leaning over a bathroom sink in the buff.

Elle Mace, a positive psychology practitioner from Devon, who has worked with reality TV stars, dancers and Olympians, says shy Brits should follow suit.

The 36-year-old knows just how complicated the relationship with our bodies can be – having struggled to accept her own frame for 20 years.

Now, the expert wants women and men to follow Zeta-Jones’ example and has also shared top tips on how to get comfortable getting naked with your lover.

And the benefits this could bring to your relationship and sex life.

“I’d love to see more women proudly show off their naked bodies to their partners,” says the 36-year-old, who boasts over 15,000 followers on Instagram (@‌iamellemace).

“You don’t have to post a photo for the world to see – but show yourself off as the trophy you are, to be won by your lucky lover or other half.

“I know myself just how important it is to you the skin you’re in – my body has been put through the mill with pregnancies and birthing.

“I have felt insecure in the past but now I think my body is top-tier.

“You’re not shallow or smug if you like taking sexy photos or admiring your frame.

“Like Zeta-Jones, we should all get naked.

“Whether you pose over a bathroom sink though, that’s up to you.

“Personally, I think I’d find it a bit cold.”

Elle also points out that it’s particularly great to see an older woman proudly flaunting her body.

She said: “Zeta-Jones is a well-respected influencer.

‘She is an older woman showing older people that it’s liberating to take your clothes off.

“Society has told us that ageing is bad – but ageing isn’t negative, it’s natural.

“Don’t fight it, own it.”

Elle also shares some tips for getting more confident in your own body, as well as being naked with your partner.

‘HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ME?’

Elle said: “Be brave – ask your partner: what do they enjoy?

“In what physical way do they want to admire you?

“Getting naked in front of someone else can be incredibly beneficial for both of you.

“It takes a certain level of trust – especially when it’s outside of the comfort of the bed.”

MEN SHOULD JOIN IN

Elle said: “People often think nudity is about women putting on a show for men.

“But it’s not just women who should be doing this – husbands and boyfriends should flaunt their bodies, too.”

TAKE BABY STEPS

Elle said: “Show off a body part you like first or take baby steps by removing one or two layers.

“For instance, you could stand naked with just your top off, so it’s not all immediately ‘out there’.

“Or wear underwear, then go topless, then drop the knickers.

“In the same manner, men could start with a T-shirt and boxers.”

KEEP IT CASUAL

Elle said: “Instead of making nudity a big reveal, start incorporating it in your daily life.

Practice by walking out of the shower to another room naked.

Or perhaps incorporate a level of nudity in your wardrobe, by swapping long-sleeved tops for tank tops, or something similar.

“Just get used to having your skin out in the comfort of your own home.”

DO A NAKED ACTIVITY

Elle said: “For some people, just going to the beach in a bikini is a big deal – for others, the goal might be to hit up a nudist beach or other nude space.

“Work at your own pace.

“As for couples, they can play games together, such as strip poker or perhaps just doing exercises such as looking at each other, then hugging and kissing.

“Or maybe tease each other by sending some sexy photos back and forth.

“If you feel bold, do a naked or boudoir photo shoot solo or together, at home or with a professional photographer.

“Couples who have been together for a while and want to get it back on might benefit from starting with foreplay.

“That way, the pressure of having sex is removed.

“It’s also worthwhile allocating a specific time for this type of closeness so it doesn’t feel rushed.”
