Sexier in the bedroom due to weight loss

That's totally true, I'm much more confident when I'm on eating right and working out!3

I used to be a bit overweight. I liked sex then, and I like sex now. My honey liked the changes in my body when I lost weight, though.
Lifting weights (and even gaining muscle weight in the process) has had the same effect, but in overdrive.0 -
Yes I do. My drive is higher and I am more confident and proud of my body.1

well.... I'll just say that the rubber suit doesn't bind up like it used to.13

Oh most definitely !
I can't keep my clothes on ... lol1 -
I most definitely have a higher sex drive....probably because of increased blood circulation, better mobility, and the obviously arrogant "holy S I'm hot now factor" (ok, that one is only found in MY mind...but it is a contributing factor...). and dammit, I'm married, so I don't have anyone to share that sex drive with...2

With a partner?

I'm with ya. My drive is more as well but my wife's seems less so it's like... wtf. Lol1 -
Does anyone else feel like they would be more open to different things in the bedroom and/or have a higher sex drive if you were more confident with your body?????
open to different things - no, I think I'm open to whatever interests me regardless of confidence
higher sex drive - no - I don't think so
Honestly, body confidence is something I think I may never have totally under my control. Moods, perspective, a feeling that I can always improve something, confidence is going to wax and wane for me.0 -

I agree that confidence will always wax and wane...but for me, when I was much heavier....there was NO confidence...so anything is an improvement....and I think that confidence is one of several factors involved in the libido...As far as being open to different things....for me, again, yes...again due to confidence...
Just wish I had someone in my life who would appreciate the new me....0 -
Of course. Not only that, but even a big meal can lead one to feel less sexy. I doubt anyone has sex after Thanksgiving dinner.1

I guess this could be true for most people.. but I haven't noticed a difference from when I was younger and less heavy, to now (when I've been at my heaviest). Really, the only thing that changed for me was not weight, but my mental state related to my appearance. I realized I could look decent/good at any weight and it was about how I projected myself to others.
Self-love (and not the kind you perverts are probably thinking of) went a long way toward getting me out of that dark place, also.
Then again, I guess I'm super fortunate that I have a partner that liked me when I weighed 170.. and was totally fine with me when I weighed 225. He's never been unsupportive or unwilling to participate in extracurricular activities, lol.1 -

I can, without a doubt, say that sex is so much better since I've gotten lean.
Sex lasts longer to the point where my partner needs a tap out. It's more comfortable. I'm far more confident.

We have sex right at thanksgiving dinner. The table is just always set so nicely!

Or while? Cuz that would be kinky af2 -

That has nothing to do with the partner thoug. The partner can think you are super hot and you still might feel fat and not attractive.
I have never been overweight, other than during pregnancy, but even if I lose ten pounds I feel lighter and sexier. During bulking time I feel fat and blah. The plus mInus ten pounds doesn't change the way my husband sees me, yet it can change how sexy I feel.0 -

I can tell you've never done "it" in a mound of mashed potatoes.
That reminds me of a food fetish vid I once came across. Lets just say I have never eaten apple sauce since then.1 -

I've been some form of overweight my entire life. I have never been what most people around here would consider to be "lean". My point is that for me (and me personally), my weight has never factored into my libido nor hindered my ability to perform. It has not hindered my ability because I have always had a high libido and as a woman, I guess it's easier to find people willing to participate than if you are a man (I could be wrong on that). I've always maintained a level of flexibility and endurance even when I was 225 and even now (nowhere near where I want to be). The OP was asking if people had noticed a difference from when people were heavier to when they were less heavy (in my case 160 is the lowest I've ever been). She was also asking if they would be more confident with that weight loss to try new things. For me I honestly found I was more willing to participate in sex when I was heavier than when I weighed less and a lot of that has been time learning to accept my self-image as it is instead of being bitter and resentful of what it isn't or what I want it to be. My self-image is what allows me to participate in sex without the lights off or to be willing to try kinky things that might uh.. surprise my partner, lol.
I merely mentioned that I was fortunate in the fact that my partner currently (and others in the past) have never really cared about my weight so that was not a factor in my libido or my perception of myself that either increases or decreases it. There's also the fact that I have always typically been the more kinky partner in any pairing I've been in.
The OP asked and I answered: for me it does not matter. My weight has never been a factor in my ability to perform, even at my highest of 225 (while I was pregnant) and my maintained weight of 215ish that I had for two or three years before deciding it was time to lose it. My self-image is what changed my confidence level and for me it had nothing to do with my weight. It is better now at a higher weight than it was when I was 20 and a lower one. I get that I might be an outlier.
But perhaps that's because I have never been under 160 my entire adult life.1 -
I'm glad I'm fat no pressure0

Yeah. I'm just happy I don't feel like I need the lights off anymore.1
