WOW.....I never realized what am impact my smple statement would cause. And I find it interesting that I could give anyone "the heebie geebies". Good thing you never met my b/f.....he will be 70 next month and he is in better shape than a lot of 30 year olds I know.
My thanks to those who came to my defense.
That person who made the 'heebie jeebie' comment is an [obviously young] @ss. You have no reason to be ashamed of your sexuality, as you well know. I'm 39 and I love having sex. I plan to still be doing it long into my golden years. The young @ss will figured that out when that person hits whatever age s/he considers to be gross and still wants to do it.0 -
I'd like to hear what changes or benefits you noticed after losing weight. Some are obvious, like confidence, energy, and stamina. What else??0

On the plus side, certain pointy parts are more sensitive and certain downstairs parts are skinnier.
On the downside, the freaking riding crop hurts more without the padding!
ROTFLOL! :devil: :laugh: :flowerforyou:0 -
Penetration can be deeper without all the fat in the way.

There's just something about that coming from someone your age that gives me the heebee geebies. No offense.
Something about you posting in this thread gives me the heebee geebies.
I think this is rude that someone would say something like this. We are different people with different ages, likes, shapes, sizes, wants and desires. Who are we to judge others.0 -
My husband and i have been together for 12 years, and up until the last 6 years i was thin..over the past 6 years our sex life changed. mainly because the bigger i got the worse i felt about myself, and the more embarrassed i became..i didn't want him to see me naked, and i was extremely self conscious so it was went from crazy swinging from the ceiling positions to missionary..from everyday to maybe once a week. the more weight i lost the more confidence i gained the less self conscious i was. Our whole relationship not just physical has changed. it's like we're newlyweds again.
I have learned that usually it isn't that our SO's lose interest with us, or don't find us attractive..it's more about us..WE don't find ourselves attractive, so we automatically think everyone sees as we do. My husband told me a few weeks ago that He has always thought i was beautiful, and sexy, But that my lack of confidence made it difficult for him to want to make a move..the constant cutting myself down about my weight was a turn off.
It's a fact..Confidence is sexy0 -
Same amount of Testosterone as last year, but coursing around 2/3's the body mass = having to do handstands for my morning pish, unless I particularly WANT to redecorate the lavatory ceiling...
Too funny!! :laugh:0 -
I'm just looking forward to getting noticed again. It's been 4 years (
Oooh, that's WAY too long! I'm pulling for you! Keep losing the weight...you'll get noticed!0 -

LOVE this! You're absolutely right!0 -
It's way easier to be thrown around these days... :drinker:
hell yes it is.0 -
I used to have trouble finishing, always ran out of breath after about 7 minutes. Now I can go longer, be stronger. And I'm more flexible, which means better sex positions! Kama Sutra, bring it on!0

40 lbs ago, even just flogging the dolphin was a chore. Now, that thing stays in the ready position so long I could do an entire village.0

After losing almost 75 pounds I must say sex life gets better and better!!! Before I started this journey I was always so tired to have sex and when we did I was just like urrgghhh....NOW it's the total opposite!!!! My hubby just told me the other day that he's getting worn out keeping up. My stamina has went from almost non existent to way high!!! I last longer, we can do different things (positions and such) and I have more confidence to where I can wear sexy things for my husband and do sexy things for him that I would NEVER dream I would ever do. After 12 years of being together our sex life is the best it has ever been thanks to the weigh loss :-)0

Less slapping sound, as flappy belly fat lessens.

It's been 7 yrs for me :frown: I get noticed plenty now, but for too long my confidence has been in the tank. Not anymore! Looking forward to getting back out there.0 -
Since losing 40lbs my libido has shot through the roof. Man I need to get laid! Sadly I still have a ways to go before that is gunna happen:sad:0
-
It made a huge difference.
We like to kid ourselves that everything was ok, and that our love was so strong that it transcended physical beauty....
WRONG!
I was fat, flabby and unattractive.
My wife was NOT into it, and who could blame her? In the dark all cats are grey, but the lights can't stay off forever.
Good Luck!0 -
Daring stuff is simplier...simply put...turnpike!0

my loads don't smell like gravy anymore.
wait...that's a downside.....hmmmmmmmmm
If you can smell your own loads you are not doing it right. :happy:
wait....so spraying my seed on my instant mashed potaters after the thanksgiving blessing isn't "doing it right"?
Just dont forget to log the calories and protein.0 -
hmm.. sex is kind of like exercise to me.... hard word but it feels good afterwards.. :happy: i say it gives you more energy.. and also, you are more flexible.. if that sounds weird but true.0

So true on the Penis looking better. I heard that for every lb you lose it is like adding an inch in length!0

I very much appreciate the original post of this questions. Sex is a healthy part of a relationship and a normal human experience.
My issue is that I am single. I never went without dates but I had no confidence and little enthusiasm. Now I am down 55 lbs. I still have 45-50 to go to get to my goal.
I look better than I have in years. But I am kind of scared to get back out there. I think I am nervous about the thought of having sex with someone new.... the body is smaller but not perfect. I have been avoiding men in general because of it.0 -

I thank you for posting this..I feel the same..drive is higher, I'm more confident in some ways and I know I could do much more than I ever could have before but its depressing when you don't have a partner. I still have skin to deal with as well..which is unsightly and unattractive..I just wish I wasn't aware of it but I've already been rejected once if not twice because of it..so I'm pretty much gun shy. I want to explore my sexuality finally..but I also want that to be done with a partner who gets that I'm still a work in progress..glad to hear everyone else is having lots of fun though lol.0 -
With losing only 22 lbs so far, I've noticed it's a lot easier to have my orgasm. Before, I was too big and so was my husband and we just didn't "fit" like we used to. Sex was almost a challenge. Now we're just that much closer together and I feel like it's deeper and hitting better in the right spots.
I like this question!0
