11 Women On Why Sex Is Great At Any Damn Size

You might think that Weight Watchers, which recently launched a website called Weight Watchers Black designed to focus on sex, would already know this, but you’d be wrong. As a part of the launch of this campaign, Weight Watchers sent journalists lightbulbs and some marketing materials that seem to imply that plus-size women don’t enjoy having sex with the lights on. The lightbulbs? Designed to provide some flattering lighting to help boost our confidence.  Gee, thanks.  As a plus-size woman, I will say it can be so frustrating hearing messages like the one from Weight Watchers. I get that Weight Watchers has a vested interest in making sure people like me want to lose weight, but it is still annoying to hear people make assumptions that because I have some extra curves, I don’t feel sexy.  But here is the truth — lights on or lights off, plus-size women like sex too. But don’t just take my word for it. Read on for the candid thoughts on sex and body image from 11 plus-size women who are getting it on and feeling sexy, no unnecessary lightbulbs required.

My husband likes every inch of me." — P.R.  More from CafeMom: If You’re Freaking Out Over Being Called Plus-Sized, You’re Missing the Point I’ve had good sex, bad sexy, dirty sex, kinky sex — my body isn’t everyone’s vision of perfect but I get to decide how I feel about it. And I choose to feel good!" — A.W. Some of my friends sort of seem surprised that a totally ripped trainer is into a plus-size person. But I’m strong and funny and he likes my big boobs. Sex is a fun way to get my cardio in!" — D.S. The biggest difference in our sex life now is that there are some positions that are trickier now. We can’t do standing positions. But doggy style is still hot as hell!" — R.T. But I’ve started really working on accepting myself and accepting that I’m a person who can actually enjoy sex. I got my first vibrator and it is a game changer! So know I’m 32, 200 pounds, and finally getting off. About time." — L.M. More from CafeMom: What Your Job Says About Your Sex Life (PHOTOS) Our sex life has its ebbs and flows, but they don’t seem to be connected to my weight or his. If we get time without the kids to actually have sex, then it is probably going to be good!" — K.S. But the truth is that there are WAY more guys than I expected who are into women with more curves. I feel like dating at a size 16 is easier in some ways. I’m open about my size on the dating sites, so I don’t have anxiety about it being a turn-off.  Maybe I’m just more mature this time around. But I find it easier to ask for what I want now and I have better sex now too." — H.J. I know that the idea of two fat people having sex is disgusting or funny to some people, but we’re happy and I hate the idea that sexy is something that only belongs to skinny people. Love is love and sex feels good, no matter your size." — R.E.
