10 Signs You Are A Prude And Should Be Proud Of It

Okay, so I still remember when I was in middle school *yep, that long ago* there was a word that was almost a curse word. Prude. So maybe it wasn’t as bad for girls as it was for boys. Being a prude meant you saved yourself for someone or that you were above it all. I used to think prudishness was something that was derogatory. Now I get it.

Being prudish means you hold onto your modesty and think it should be saved for someone who deserves it. So, guess what, being a prude doesn’t make you uncool or silly. It makes you thoughtful and worthy of more than the average person. So, congratulations to all you prudes out there, the joke is on everyone else.

# You blush when you talk about anything sexually related

Someone who is a prude doesn’t want to hear your TMI. They really don’t even want to think about what they did the night before, less what you did.

A major sign you are a prude is when someone tells you about their sexual escapades, it is a scene you can’t get out of your head, and that is the worst thing ever.

# It makes you uncomfortable to talk about bodily functions

Being a prude isn’t just about sexual things, it involves all bodily things. If the mere talk about anything related to your bodily fluids, functions, or biology in general, makes you cringe, that might mean you are a prude.

# Nakedness is not your thing

It isn’t just that you don’t want to pose for Playboy, you don’t want to be naked when you are with someone or alone. Nakedness might be your birthday suit, but it isn’t something you ever want to show off to anyone, birthday or not.

# You don’t want to hear about who sleeps with who, not your business

If you live your life under the guise of what happens in your bedroom should stay in your bedroom, then you are probably prudish.

But, the reality is that no one really wants to hear what you have to describe unless they are into that sort of thing. Being too self-disclosed makes ALMOST everyone uncomfortable.

# Talk of periods, masturbation, ejaculation, sloppy sex, and puberty makes you cringe

Again, there is no reason to talk about what we all go through. Been there, done that. My experience is mine, and I need not hear yours. We all go through the same growing pains. You keep it to yourself. I will keep mine to myself.

# In sex ed, you wanted to shrink and blow away

There was that one guy in the corner who had their hand up asking questions, because “there is no such thing as a stupid question” and then there was you.

Sex class likely traumatized you beyond repair. After twenty years, you still remember the embarrassment of wanting to shrink away.

# PDA is an acronym for please don’t act

“Hey get a room.” Yep, not only do public displays of affection make you uncomfortable, it makes you want to be nasty and tell them that there is a time and a place. And now is not the time or the place for what they are doing.

# You think “bathroom humor” is a thing

If you leave a funny movie talking about how there was too much “bathroom humor,” that might make you a prude. Bathroom humor means bodily functions, and to you, there is nothing funny about it.

# You hate every Adam Sandler movie ever made

Well, that doesn’t just make you prudish, that makes you smart and not a man… Sorry guys, his movies are infantile and stupid, but that is why a prude isn’t interested.

# Clothes aren’t meant to be tight, too short, or too low cut

If clothes were meant to be the same as nakedness, then they might as well be made of plastic wrap. Clothes are supposed to make nakedness a surprise, not let the cat out of the bag.
