Like pretty much anyone, I struggle with body image issues. I hate my body after having been pregnant many years ago. I don’t care that my body carried a baby or whatever… I hate what I was left with.
My once cute little boobs are deflated and sad. I hate the way they hang when I’m on top and flatten out when on my back. They turn me off and I can’t get aroused often because of them. I can’t always get into sex and feel so much disgust and guilt. I can start off feeling into it, but then catch myself or my boobs will be touched and it’s instantly I’m turned off/feel embarrassed. Then the groove is off and I ruin the moment.
I don’t understand what it means to “feel sexy”. It doesn’t make any sense to me. Nothing I wear or do has ever made me feel that way.
Then add in my stomach. Normally, it’s flat. But, I’ve been trying to come off of stimulant laxatives (I’ve abused them for about 20 years. I stopped taking them for a few years and then started up again) so now I’m chronically bloated. It’s incredibly embarrassing and unattractive.
I’m in therapy, but I don’t want to feel good about my body so I talk about other things. I do not have body dysmorphia. I see myself how I really am, I just don’t fucking like it.
I know my boyfriend likes my body, but it’s my own opinion that matters most because I’m the one living in this body. Not him.
Idk… I guess I’m asking, how does one just enjoy sex despite how they look? How does someone “feel sexy”? I just don’t understand. I want to have good sex with my boyfriend and know I ruin it fairly often. It’s going to get old real fast
