I found a cool article on Scarleteen (a sex ed website that’s directed at teens but seems helpful for everyone) about having a fat partner if you’re on the thin side. Here are some highlights:
it’s nothing more than a stereotype that fat people will be slow, get tired easily, or be clumsy (in sex or other situations).
If your partner does tire easily, though, or if their weight could injure you, the article offers advice on comfortable sex positions and tactfully asking to switch positions.
We owe it to our partners and ourselves to learn to like our bodies as they are!
Hormones and brain chemistry can make partners more physically attracted to each other over time, just by being close and touching.
“A larger partner can elicit feelings such as safety, warmth, softness, power, decadence, confidence, etc. that others find attractive.” <3
Close physical activities like swimming, dancing, and massages can help you learn about and appreciate each others’ bodies while becoming more confident that the other partner likes yours!
Casual touching can teach you how to better touch each other sexually!
Keep a healthy balance in the relationship and don’t focus too much on just weight.
