According to a ‘recent survey’ curvy (make of it what you will) women are more likely to have a fulfilling sex life. The source of the information escapes me but I dare say it was conjured up by Krispy Kreme donuts or some such company, ‘Eat pie, get laid’. Catchy, I like it.
Can this really be true?
Just as I was contemplating the idea that despite the brainwashing of the media and the unrealistic ideals created for women to adhere to, that there might be women out there who aren’t on a diet and are having regular, fantastic sex, I stumbled across a Facebook status on my timeline. You know the type, ‘Forward this lucky shamrock to 300 people or you’ll be cursed forever!’, ‘Share if you love your life!’, ‘Wouldn’t it be the perfect crime if I stole your heart and you stole mine!’. Yuck, you get the picture.
So, this particular nugget of Facebook wisdom said something along the lines of true happiness and beauty only coming from loving oneself.
Eh? What new age nonsense was this? And then I had the thought, in relation to my personal 2 hour daily spinning class vs. delicious Sauvignon Blanc and cream cake conundrum, that sexy people (regardless of their size) don’t plan their year ahead in the hope they will be something else in the future – thinner, prettier and allegedly happier. They carry on exactly as they are because they see no reason to change.
And there in lies the answer. The reason that some ‘curvy’ women have good sex is because they think they’re hot, and that means … they probably are! A woman, regardless of her size, who sees herself as enough will be just that.
It’s not being fat or thin that gets people laid, it’s believing they can and knowing they are sexy. Sexiness isn’t about counting calories and constant self-doubt it is about self belief and sometimes saying, ‘Sod the diet, give me wine! Give me cheese! Give me chocolate!’
Aside from this, you show me a man that finds the Atkins diet a turn-on and prefers a girl who’ll only shag on a ‘thin day’ with the lights off and I’ll show you someone who has no idea what being a real woman is all about (or, I doubt, real sex.)
So this year, I won’t go on a diet, cut out sugar or ban carbs from the house. I will eat and enjoy it.
True, unapologetic, gorgeous, sexy self confidence or a slightly flatter stomach … I know what I’d choose.
Now pass me the cake, I want to get horny.
