Sex

Sex.

Yeah, I said it.

SEX.

Fat people do it. With other fat people, with thin people, with themselves, with whomever they want to do it with who wants to do it with them, too.

So, yes, I say to the disbelieving public who cannot fathom that anyone would find my loathsome fat body acceptable (or even arousing, perish the thought!) for sexual situations and to the self-loathing fatties who cannot imagine disrobing in front of another human being or even their dog because their dog has knowing eyes (I wish I were making that up), yes, fat people have sex.

Some fat people, as many people think all fat women do, have sex for validation or in an effort to make someone love them. Interestingly enough, thin people do the same thing.

Some fat people, as many people think all fat women must be, are butch lesbians. Interestingly enough, thin people are also butch lesbians.

Some fat people, as many people think all fat people must be no matter what, are virgins. Interestingly enough, thin people have also been known to be virgins.

Any stereotype that is applied to fat people when it comes to sex is true of the rest of the human population as well.

And it isn’t difficult for fat people to do it, so to speak. There might be some adjustment for bellies or, in some cases, mobility, but those same accommodations get made for thin people, too! I bet you never would have guessed that. ha!

Now, obviously, some people who dig fat people are fetishists. This is not necessarily a deal-breaker. It depends on you. But some people just dig fatties. In fact, many people just dig fatties!

The thing that amazes me is that, even when I was bemoaning how difficult it was to get a date or make a connection with someone, I was still interacting on a romantic or potentially romantic level with way more people than many of my conventionally attractive friends were. The stuff I found out about after the fact, the crushes that were confessed, the interest that was maybe there and I didn’t realise because I was so convinced I was a troll….

Yeah, how many of us are missing perfectly good opportunities to get busy just because we’re already convinced no one would want to get busy with us?

This happens for thin people, too. Fancy that!

Here is what I want to say to people of all sizes, particularly women: You do not have to be a sexual object. You do not have to be pretty. But you also don’t have to swear off sexual contact or abandon hope for love.

Fat people have sex.
