How to be curvy and confident in the bedroom

When it comes to the messages we receive about sex and sexiness, it’s usually pretty one-sided. Magazines, advertising, porn, all of that stuff is mostly full of slim, taut bodies with nary a wobble to be seen or an imperfection to be found. While deep down in our heart of hearts we know this is just the bullshit world of advertising, when you fall out of that category it can be a little bit trickier to untangle yourself from the “I don’t look like that” web and find your own confidence and sexiness in what you do have.
We know from the comments, messages, and surveys we do that there is no “favourite” or “ideal” body type when it comes to sexual preferences, and that if someone wants to get down and dirty with you then they already find you pretty damn sexy, but we also know that that doesn’t stop the niggling thoughts at the back of our heads… So to combat that we’ve come up with a bunch of tricks and tips you can try to help you feel and look as sexy as the person you’re having sex with already thinks you are.
Follow Your People
Seriously. Just type BBW into Instagram or Twitter and you will find millions of pictures, profiles and people who are larger in body size and even larger in ego, confidence and beauty. Stop buying shitty magazines and mainstream pornography and holding yourself up to that as comparison, find people who look like you and have made it into the world of fabulousness. Not only will these amazing models show you just how gorgeous a larger body can be, they will also have links and suggestions to businesses and designers that make gorgeous, sexy, well-fitting underwear, lingerie and clothes that will have you loving your shape and wanting to show it off to your lovers.
It’s Okay To Dim The Lights
In reading a few articles about body and sexual confidence I kept coming across this one “tip” which was “Turn on the lights! Learn to love your body!” And look… While this is all very well and good on a surface level, in the harsh light of reality, hardly anyone wants to have sex under the bright lights of the bedroom, regardless of if they love their body or not. Sex is, for the most part, a sultry and sensual affair, and having the brightness of the bulb highlight the washing pile in the corner and the wet towels on the floor isn’t the most conducive to a sexy session. So dim those lights, light a few candles, let the flickering of light gently caress your curves and help you to feel like the goddess you are.
Spend More Time Naked
As someone who spent almost 25 years hating her body I can tell you that I hardly ever looked at it. If I did it was to make an “ugh” face and walk away in disgusted hurry. I am here to tell you to stop it! Spend more time looking at, and admiring your naked body. Yes it’s not easy, especially if you’ve formed the habit like I did of self hatred, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. Start with just not making the bad face. Start with saying hello to yourself in the mirror after your shower. If you’ve followed the above advice and are now getting amazing BBW pics on your social media pages, start looking at yourself in the way you look at the models. Oh wow, look at those dimples, and the soft way your belly curves, and the fullness of your breasts… Start smiling at yourself, giving your reflection a wink, a nudge, a “hey good lookin’ whatcha got cookin’...” Yeah it feels a little silly and forced at first… But, while the silliness factor will always be there, the more you do it, the more the forced nature will go and be replaced with habit and comfort at your own reflection.
Experiment with Pillows
Being a larger person can have its obstacles when it comes to certain sexual positions, which can then create feelings of inadequacy and self loathing because you feel like you’ve failed. You haven’t, you just need to find another way, and pillows and specific sex cushions can be the answer you’re looking for. Depending on where you place the pillow, under your butt, legs, back, wherever, you can now comfortably, and far more easily, achieve some of those positions your body may not allow for in other instances. This also goes for those of us with dodgy knees, low mobility, smaller penises, chronic illnesses that leave us exhausted… All sorts of reasons! It also helps you stretch and angle your body to minimise certain areas you don’t love, and highlight those you do. It’s all down to playing around and experimenting, so get going!
Ditch The Dead Weight
No I’m not talking about going on some ridiculous diet… When I say “Dead Weight” I mean the people in your life that make you feel bad about the way you look. If you have a lover who makes you feel ugly, fat, gross, unsexy…. Anything that you don’t particularly want to feel, then that person is dead weight and has no right sucking up your energy and confidence and time. These sorts of people are all around us, and when they are the people who are supposed to be the ones who love and support us unconditionally, it can have hugely damaging effects on our mental health and self esteem. Someone who fucks you should like you, and someone who likes you should not make you feel like shit. You are absolutely, 100% worth more than anything someone like that says, and while I know it’s hard to extrapolate yourself from toxic relationships (or even recognise them when you feel so down about yourself anyway) there is help and there is support, and there is a light at the end… And that light is your self worth, your confidence, and someone who wants to fuck you because they think you are the most amazing, beautiful, sexy creature they’ve ever seen.

More than a month agoSexy is an attitude too me its about feeling sexy and embracing your sexy naughty self. Plus size lingery is sold for a reason... a bbw looks just as sexy with curves as a size 8. Person choice is just that. Time to stop body shaming be healthy and live life to the fullest regardless of your size... stay sexy bbw biarches

More than a month agoLove this article! If you’re starting out on your self love journey- try the book Curvy Girl Sex by Elle Chase too. Great positions for all different types of fat bodies (there’s not just one!) and lots of advice on how to take the first steps in self acceptance. Love to all my fiercely fabulous fatties!

More than a month agoThis is a great article and very true in the sense of spending time naked does help.
I’m a very large woman SSBBW 5’8 170kg and I have always had issues accepting my body, but when I started sleeping naked and spending more time naked in general I grew more comfortable.
As for the positions you could also look into swingers clubs that have a sex swing/sling that takes up to 250kg (I know Taboo22 in QLD does).
As for finding like minded people I do implore people be careful not to fall into a feeder/feedee website trap as they can be extremely detrimental to both physical and mental health. I’m all about being proud of your body and loving it and finding people that adore your body and your personality as well but the feeder/feedee kink/culture is quite dangerous. I say this not just because I don’t like it but because I got caught in that trap years ago and it almost caused me to willing take my life.
I’ve learnt to love who I am and I admit I have my naughty foods and enjoy a bit of food play but I’ve learnt that sex as SSBBW is about experimentation, fun, understanding and a willingness to try something different
Can even search the internet for PLUS SIZE SEX POSITIONS :) ;)

More than a month agoHey, shout out to the BBMs! Love how everyone has rallied for the curvy gals, but let’s acknowledge that you don’t get zillions of suggestions if you search BBM on Insta. In an age where a teenager with an eating disorder is equally likely to be male or GQ, it is time we all examined our learned beauty standards for all genders.

More than a month agoHi I’m a 66yr old woman. I’m size 20 and only 5ft 2ins. I have had plenty of men from different age groups wanting to meet and have fun. Lots of young men 35 and up want a mature shapely female. More than you think. The male wants a woman who enjoys her sexuality and isn’t thinking how she looks all the time. I know we would all be better off health wise having less weight to carry around, but it takes a lot of hard work to achieve it.i have lost 14 kg since Jan 1 this year. I’m still big, I have big boobs that I will never loose, why should I the men love them,all ages love them. No male has told me I’m too fat maybe because I’m a very sexual and sensual woman..Mary-Rose xxx

ReplyMissek
More than a month agoLove this article! Would love to hear more on positions etc, especially how those combat being on top as I've always avoided that position. As a BBW myself I've been through these issues, the self hate, the "oh she looks better than I do" blah blah blah. My ex fiance once told me he liked me being "fat" because then noone else would look at me....things like that really kills confidence in oneself. I still am very self conscious about my body to the point I've made excuses not to meet because the little monster in my head says "you're too big, he will be put off, don't do it to yourself" etc. The odd times I've shut that bitch down and put myself out there gave me the chance to meet a few guys who took all that self loathing away and it was pretty damn amazing.! What I looked like didnt even cross my mind...there is alot of truth in surrounding yourself with the right people, who make you feel worthy, sexy and confident.
Learn to love yourself, if you can't how do you expect others to?

More than a month agoMissek, If you look around in your day to day life there are few people that live up to the images of media. Unfortunately, media has shaped many women's perspectives on what they should look like, behaviour... It's bullshit.
My current and past two lovers have enjoyed my softness, told me how sexy I am and touched me with admiration, not any of the negative descriptors you can think of.
Enjoy your body. You will never be as young and beautiful as you are today, every day.

More than a month agoAfter a really tough couple of years, where I lost total confidence with this body of mine, which is full of lumps, bumps, and scars (of which I am proud of each and every one...but lost that 'self-love' for it through what hit me), I went and booked in for a lingerie photography shoot last year.
It worked absolutely brilliantly, as you said with taking selfies - to see yourself in that way, it was like I discovered myself all over again...and the confidence I'd lost. Seeing the photos now, reminds me that I deserve to be proud of this body of mine, no matter what.

More than a month agoTo all those larger people out there....sexiness has nothing to do with looks. I am well aware that there are those who would rather be thinner than what they are. Either because they would be healthier or just appear better in their own eyes. Remember, the larger you are..the more of you there is to love.
ReplyAdell1
More than a month agoThank you! It can be difficult to put yourself out there as a larger woman. We don't look like the typical "porn star" or "model". However thanks to some wonderful men I have met on this site I have gained/regained confidence in my curves and wobbly bits. (thank you gents; you know who you are...). Get out there ladies. You are beautiful. So many men love real women, not stick insects.

what you said is quite correct , I am a BBW a size 26 and have found it hard at first to put myself out there as you suggest , but i did with my hubbies help so now we go swinging with like minded people , there has been some negativity towards me as a BBW it did affect me but i came to the conclusion
they are the ones missing out on fucking and being with me , everyone have said i have a great personality and body so why not use it too your advantage
Just be yourself and love yourself

ReplyThere is nothing better than having men like your body shape in respectful photos. Makes you feel more sexy.Curvy BBW have needs and if they are not being met in the relationship then it's time to move on.
