Short backstory, girlfriend and I have been dating for several years - recently moved in together.  She was a virgin when we started dating, I was not (and she knew that). I had several serious girlfriends prior, and had done a fair amount of experimenting - she hadn't. She also suffered from some body issues previously (very thin at one point, healthy but still thin now).

I always thought at first she was just shy since she'd never had a serious physical relationship before, but after several years of dating (and sex) she is still pretty shy and uncomfortable about being naked. I took things extremely slow, tell her how beautiful she looks, ask her if there's anything I can do differently etc but it hasn't really changed much. We still have sex a few times a week, and she enjoys it (though certainly not "loud" or "wild"), but she rarely instigates, doesn't like being naked, etc.  Other than that we have a very healthy relationship and I know she loves me tremendously (and she knows I love her)

Is there anything I can do to make her feel more comfortable? Or do I just accept that she will never be comfortable naked or the type to pounce on me randomly?  I feel like it's related to the body issues she faced but I'm hoping for some XX perspective (hence the throwaway account name...). 

Thanks in advance!
