We're too paranoid
"She hates side-by-side sex because it makes her tummy look fat. She won't get on top because she's worried her breasts will look funny. She won't even go to the loo unless I promise not to look at her bottom." Most men aren't as fussy about body shape as we think they are. It's been proven over and over again that our idea of a perfect body isn't his. A few extra pounds (which mean the world to us), add the curves that men find really sexy. They don't think 'fat' and 'lumpy'. They think soft, warm, female and voluptuous. If you're jumping into bed worried about your body, it stands to reason your sex life will suffer. In a US survey, women with a positive body image said they had orgasms 73 per cent of the time. Self-conscious women reached orgasm only 42 per cent of the time. Sex is all about what's happening inside, not outside. If you're desperately trying to suck your stomach in, you're not mentally tuning into being turned on. Being a good lover is about feeling confident. Feel sexy and you'll be it!
