lies-n-slander:

You know I just realized with the amount of heterosexual sex scenes I’ve had shoved in my face never have I seen a sex scene including a fat person. And on the rare occasion I did it was seen as some joke or way to humiliate the main character. Obviously this came as no shock to me having first hand experience with societies fat phobia, but it kind of took me back to realize how this had effected me in a way I never realized. Movies and tv shows was where I got my education on what sex was supposed to be like. So as a person who was growing up and coming to a age where I could potentially participate in sexual activities I felt like I wasn’t the type of person who could have sex. My brain had been taught that sex was supposed to be between two skinny attractive people and I was neither of those. I figured I had a body that made sex hard or would gross people out. This obviously extremely effected how I viewed myself in any of my relationships. I wish that the world was full of movies and tv shows showing fat peoples in positive healthy relationships. I want to see fat girls and guys confident with their weight and not having their whole plot focused around losing weight to try and get some “hot” guy or girl . I want to see fat girls and guys falling in love with al kinds of people and having fun and being in love and kissing and yes, having sex just like any other couple you see in the movies. Fat people are humans and deserve to be represented too. Fat people can do whatever they want and deserve to feel comfortable with their body and not feel like they can’t share themselves with their partner.
