Is this a major problem?

Hi,
I'm writing 3 basic questions here.

1) Is it a "problem" if one can't fully experience penetration when intercourse is performed? Meaning, if one is heavy & the man can't slide all of the way in (missionary position), how does one spread open more w/out causing pain to the area or hurting other leg muscles? Is anal a better alternative?

2) When intercourse in missionary is performed during menstruation, is it a more of a "problem" for very heavy people? If so, how can the pain be reduced?

3) When 69 position is formed and the woman is on top & heavy, is the man really "turned-on" sexually even w/ all of that heaviness, smell, excess muscle/fat around that area?

I agree with mami. If you don't feel sexy, do something about it. If you feel your weight is the problem, you have to work at it to get results. Or you could look into gastric bypass if you choose, but prepared for extra skin once the weight starts to fall off. That is when exercise would help.

Confidence IS sexy! Treat yourself to some pampering. Get a massage, go shopping, get your hair and nails done. Get a complete makeover if that would help with your self esteem. Whether or not you believe it, there IS someone for you. You will bump into him when you least expect it.

Sexy is what you make it.  If you have this attitude that you are not sexy or that you feel unattractive than most people will sense that from you.  If you show confidence, you can be very sexy.  Look at that comedian....I can't remember her name.  She was in that movie Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins.  She refers to herself as big, black and beautiful.  Oh Monique I think her name is.  She's a big woman but she has confidence and now she's married.  She dresses herself in nice clothes, gets her hair done and flaunts it.  There are stores like Lane Bryant and other plus size clothing stores that are nice and the clothes aren't over the top.  You have to be happy with you and if your not, then you have to make those changes.  Join a gym, eat healthy.

twinkly I don't think some men care.  There are a lot of men out there that don't have a problem with over weight women.  I think you need to work on your self-esteem.  If your weight is a serious concern to you, take the necessary steps to getting healthy.  I know it's hard but it can be done.  I will try to answer some of your questions.

1. If missionary position is too difficult try another position.  Doggy style or you on top.  There are a million other positions that will allow complete penetration.  

2. Not many people like having sex during a woman's period.  But what pain are you referring to?  Menstraul cramping?  That can be helped with midol.

3. Again, some men don't care and some men do.  It's preferential I would think.
