How to Deal with Sex Problems/My girlfriend and clothes

Question
Hey, i'm in a relationship with my girlfriend, shes 18 and I'm 17. We've been together for 4 months, but the problem is that when we have sex she keeps on her bra or top. She says she hates her body and refuses to take it off when we have sex. At first i thought this was an act for attention but as time has gone on ive found out shes being serious. Even when i compliment her she just doesn't accept it. Is there a way i can get her to take it off? i respect that she doesn't like her body but shes an athlete! Its a major turn off when she keeps it off. Any advice or help would be greatly thanked!

Many thanks
Josh

Answer
she's just self-conscious about her breasts, which are probably on the small side; in time, when she feels more secure as to your love, it might come off; you can occasionally mention your preference, without pressure, and hopefully one day she can overcome her anxieties...
