To some extent such inhibitions may arise from cultural and social influences and conditioning, as well as from personal factors, including sexual orientation.
On the other hand, a person may be regarded as having low sexual inhibitions when they welcome a variety of non-conventional erotic practices.
Some inhibitions are expressed in terms of preferences for specific sexual practices and may be based on cultural attitudes.
A fear of being nude in front of others can be regarded as a sexual inhibition[citation needed].
Some people feel uncomfortable being nude in front of another person, even in private with their sex partner.
For example, a person may feel comfortable being nude only during a sexual activity, and then only with subdued lighting, or covered by a sheet or blanket.
