Has your sex life dramatically changed in a positive way as you lost weight?

I was very unhappy with how I looked. My boyfriend never complained about my weight, has always been supportive. He told me at least 2-3times a day how sexy I was when I was out of shape and stopped taking care of myself.
I hated to have sex, I had no self esteem. I felt bad for him. It wasn't his fault. It was all mine.
Well, now I've lost over 20lbs, I smile more, have no more mood swings or depression. I start to like myself and my sex life is beginning to rock!
Have you had that problem when you were over/underweight?

sex gets better with comfort and confidence. it's not really anything to do with weight just how you perceive yourself5

My sex life hasn't changed much, but my sex drive has. I wish the former would catch up to the latter.3

No, it got better when the communication and effort was no longer a one sided thing.4

Not dramatically different.
I feel better so it is easier to be in the mood but not really having a lot more sex than I was. I never really let my weight stop me in that area.0 -
I wasn't getting any before and I'm not getting any now, so nope.4

DIdn't get any booty then, not getting any booty now. And the world keeps spinning.2

Nothing like a strong flexible body to spice up the sex life.. Also, strong guy + flexible girl = magic5
-
^some things flex and bend that I don't want to flex and bend. is that normal?1
-
We've talked about this sweetie. It's totally ok that it bends in that direction...0

Yip definitely makes a difference when you gain confidence0

Absolutely!! When your combined weight (my hubby and ) was around 625 pounds it made things a little challenging. Now that our combined weight is around 385, there is a lot more flexibility involved.5

Any changes wouldn't come from losing weight, it would come from changing partners....0

I have found that I am losing more weight from being more sexually active. Its good cardio!
But I have also noticed that I can do and handle more as I'm losing weight.2 -
