Being a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) in this fatphobic society is definitely not easy. Not only does this affect your life in general; most often, a bbw sex life also suffers. The desire for sex, performance as well as enjoyment can drop.
According to new research, most BBW avoids sex altogether. Martin Binks, Ph.D., a behavioral health director at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center at the Duck University Medical Center and a psychologist stated that morbidly obese individuals are 25x more likely to report sex life problems than the normal-weight individuals.
Usually, due to weight, big women experience lessened sex desire. The higher the levels of the body fat, the higher the levels of the chemical known as SHBG, which literally binds to sex hormone testosterone. When too much testosterone is bound to the SHBG, there will be lesser testosterone left to stimulate desire. The weight also often limits the sex positions and can take away the big O. Being overweight often causes decreased blood flow to the genitals, as the extra weight causes the blood vessels to narrow. Remember that a proper blood flow is needed to reach an orgasm.
Improve Self-esteem
However, the problem often goes beyond physical. The problem that BBW (Big Beautiful Women) often face includes performance anxiety as well as body image related issues. Oftentimes, women who weigh more than normal receive judgments from the society that leads them to think more about their physique. The dissatisfaction with one’s shape and size is linked to an even more serious concern, a lack or lower self-esteem.
With low self-esteem, an individual is likely to suffer from performance anxiety, which in terms of sex, affects a women’s level of satisfaction. In order to have a satisfying and great sex life, such problems should be solved first. Psychologically, plus size women should get rid of negative perception about their weight and body size. You seem to be bigger than most of the girls, so what? Remember that you are beautiful in your own way and there is no reason to feel down because of your weight. If you will recognize the fact that you are beautiful and feel the same way, which can improve your sex life. Take pride in your gapless thunder thighs, undulating belly rolls, and jiggling jowls.
Right Sex Position
When it comes to physical problems, the solution is simple – find the right sex position! The easiest position to try if you are a full-figured woman is the doggy style. You need to get on knees and hand facing the bed and your man will enter you from behind. You can put pillows underneath you to hold your weight.
Another position that you should try if you are a curvy woman is the cowgirl but instead of simply straddling your man, try squatting down over him. Another ideal position is the sideways crunched turtle, which may seem weird, but works for BBW. Most likely avoid missionary position but if you want it badly, just make sure to place a pillow underneath your butt or back to get an extra support.
Last advice for BBW or plus size singles out there is that, when you want to have a better sex, consider having it on the floor.
