The thing is....

I'm quite comfortable to be naked in front of people, it doesnt bother me.. but i feel like its offputting for others to look at it... it's a conundrum..

how so? is it generally an issue of shame or feeling insecure, or is it lewdness and suggestions of sex that is offputting, or is it something else? For me, it took a long time to completely get over insecurities over my size but I am, because the body I am in is beautiful, natural and worthy of acceptance and respect, as is yours. Some gawking isn't respectful, the line is subjective and we have layers of issues around our genitals that are mediated by textile culture's objectification and reduction of all bodies and parts, so it takes time to consciously adjust and be proud of your whole self, neither shying away nor being vulgarly exhibitionist. Practice, time and a real effort to understand why you feel this way can improve the sense of vulnerability with casual glances, with the caveat that leering is tacky and rude, and no one should have to endure it.
