They say you can see a person's soul if you stare into his eyes--but perhaps the quickest way to really know someone is to have him take off his clothes. That's why we asked 22 people to undress and bare their insecurities. Some of their hang-ups are unexpected (Really? Too big!?), others are heart-wrenching. All of them will have you looking at yourself differently the next time you're naked. Click on the links below for profiles, photos, and video for each of the participants.
