| Just
about anytime, one turns on American television, scantily clad
waifs are marketing a product. If the television commercials are
not enough, TV shows such as Desperate Housewives, Sex in the
City, and MTV’s music videos serve as reminders that sex is associated
with a slim svelte bodies. Today’s
messages in pop culture signify that sexuality is synonymous
with being slender. For many women and the majority of the male
gender, being sexy and overweight are metaphors of cancer and
health.
In overweight people
who are battling the bulge, both image and weight issues taint
the inspirations of erotica. According to clinical psychologist
and director of behavioral health Martin Binks, PhD, of Duke
University's Diet and Fitness Center, people are struggling
with society’s classification of sex appeal. These cultural
expectations are negatively affecting many individual’s self-esteem
and image perceptions.
At the same token,
the biases of society are not to blame, entirely. Advanced research
studies are suggesting that the physical conditions that accompany
obesity impact one’s sex drive. For the overweight, the desire
to be intimate is foiled. To change these perceptions, it starts
with making a few minor life enhancements to improve the libido.
Use the following strategies to pump up your sex appeal and
desire for erotica:
• Shed a few pounds.
Just ten pounds can provide the confidence to active your hormones.
• Go with a well balanced diet. Consuming nutritious foods improves
the way the body feels as it controls blood sugar and cholesterol
levels
•b> Focus fitness down below. Perform exercises to improve
blood flow to your pelvic area.
• Read sexy tales. Buy a provocative novel to remind you of
the way it could be
• Love thyself. Learn to accept your body regardless of your
size. |
