Do You Worry About How You Look During Sex?

TresSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 13:00:00 -0700

We all may have our body image issues from time to time. We might fret when a pair of jeans feels tighter than before or lament the beginning of bathing suit season. But what about while you're naked having sex - do you worry about what you look like?

Megan Fox, who seems very comfortable talking about sex, said recently that she's too self-conscious to make a sex tape because of such concerns. "One shot of me not looking good," she said, "and I would not be able to have sex ever again, because I would always just see myself looking like a hippo having sex." And I remember that classic Friends episode where Rachel and Ross cringe through a viewing of their accidental sex tape only to be relieved that they actually look pretty good during the act.

Do you ever think about your appearance while you're getting down, or are your looks the last thing on your mind?

Even the most beautiful and seemingly perfect women have insecurities about their bodies, especially in the bedroom. I guess it's just part of life as a woman! For some, it's relatively simple to embrace flaws, but insecurities can be crippling for others. Since body image issues affect everyone differently, I'm curious. So tell me, have your insecurities ever affected one of your relationships?

Dear Poll: Do You Enjoy Being Naked?

Many women have a volatile relationship with their body. One day they love it and the next they hate it, which is why flaunting your birthday suit is not for everyone. Plus, if you're not used to being naked, when you are, it can make you feel incredibly vulnerable. But there are also those women who love just being in their own skin and nothing else. Which sounds more like you?

A Do or a Don't: Checking Out Your Lady Business

DearSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:00:00 -0700

Last weekend I spent a giddy night with girlfriends just talking - you know the kind of night I’m talking about! In the midst of our conversation, one friend confessed that she’d never really seen her lady business before. Immediately, the other ladies launched into their own experiences on the matter. I couldn’t help but think of the Sex and the City episode where the girls try to convince Charlotte to check herself out in the mirror - even though she was incredibly uncomfortable, she went through with it!

Personally, I think the more knowledge you have about your body the better, but is grabbing a mirror over-the-top? Have you ever examined yourself down there? Or does the idea make you squirm?

Do Tell: What Part of Your Body Are You Most Insecure About?

DearSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 08:00:00 -0700

No matter how beautiful or perfect you may think someone is, I can almost guarantee that they have their own set of insecurities just like you and me. While the female body is a beautiful form no matter what shape or size, it's really all about the way you feel inside in regard to how you look on the outside. And even though it's commonly just in our heads, most women I know have at least one part of their body that they wish could be smaller, tighter, leaner, prettier, or just plain different from what it currently is. Sound familiar? If so, do tell, what part of your body are you most insecure about?

How Would You Feel?

This post comes from Group Therapy in our TrèsSugar Community. Feel free to add your advice in the comments!

I'm 20 years old and have been dating this guy for four years. Last night, I was using his computer and I saw that he searched for plus size lingerie. My feelings were instantly hurt. I felt so fat! I think that my boyfriend should not make me feel like that! He has never called me fat or anything, but just the fact that he looked at plus size lingerie says that he thinks it! If I ask him if he thinks I'm fat or anything he, of course, denies it. He says that if he thought I was ugly he wouldn't be with me. So, what now? Am I just overreacting? I am so hurt!

There's lots of great stuff going on in our community - join it, check it out, share your posts or advice in the great groups and maybe we'll feature it here on TrèsSugar!

Body Worlds to Unveil Cadaver Sex Show Next Year

TresSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 07:00:00 -0700

A museum exhibit featuring poker-playing and football-throwing cadavers too boring for you? How about corpses displayed to look like they're having sex?

Body Worlds - a traveling exhibition of preserved, skinless, and posed corpses whose muscles and organs are visible - is proposing an exhibit for next year that shows cadavers posed in sex positions. Of the exhibit, Body Worlds' creative director Angelina Whalley said, "It's not my intention to show certain sexual poses. My goal is really to show the anatomy and the function."

Gunther von Hagens, Whalley's husband and Body Worlds' developer and promoter, treats the corpses using a technique he invented called "plastination," which is supposed to remove water from the bodies and preserve them with a silicon rubber or epoxy resin. (Perhaps this technique had not yet been perfected in 2005, when viewers of one exhibit in San Francisco complained of corpses oozing fluid.)

Although Body Worlds has been viewed by more than 27 million people all over the world, it has its detractors. Many human rights groups are worried about the ethics of displaying "donated" cadavers from countries like China with records of horrible human rights abuses. Von Hagens admitted to 20/20 reporters that he had to destroy some corpses he'd gotten from China because the injuries on their bodies suggested they'd been executed. Although Von Hagens and Whalley argue that Body Worlds exhibits are educational, others have called it a ghoulish peep show.

Would you want to see this upcoming sex exhibit? What do you think about the Body Worlds shows?

Reebok Promises to Make Your Boobs Jealous of Your Butt - Hilarious or Horrifying?

TresSugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:00:24 -0800

On its website, Reebok claims that its new line of EasyTone shoes, which are displayed against the backdrop of a naked woman, will help you make 88 percent of men speechless and 76 percent of women jealous. Hoping to drum up some hype for these kicks, Reebok has also unveiled a whole slew of commercials touting the shoes' butt-toning abilities. In this commercial, Reebok pitches the shoes by reducing a faceless woman to two talking breasts. You see, the breasts are jealous of the woman's butt, which is now getting all the attention thanks to the shoes. Do you find this ad effective or offensive?

Dear Poll: Whose Body Would You Borrow for a Day?

DearSugar — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 08:00:00 -0800

Celebrities can't escape the media spotlight or the constant criticism about their bodies. While most leading ladies can afford personal trainers and chefs, the most important thing they have - that most of us don't - is lots of time to get in celebrity shape.

Many of us can't really watch the Oscars without fantasizing a little about having Scarlett Johansson's curves or the long, lithe shape of Charlize Theron. If you could have the body of one celebrity for one day, who would you choose and why?
