Banish the body blues
Imagine the scene. The kisses are getting steamier, touches more intimate. Passion is rising fast. Yes, yes, yes! Then his hands reach for your tummy and you freeze. No, you’re not off sex, but when it comes to certain areas, you just can’t relax.
It may be your stomach you dislike, or your breasts, your bottom, your cellulite or stretch marks. Whatever it is, you’re not alone. In one survey a staggering 98% of women expressed worries about their bodies, and 22.2% said they weren’t comfortable naked in front of anyone, particularly their lovers. In short, all our insecurities flare up when it comes to sex.
The key to good sex is confidence - feeling good about yourself, your looks and ultimately your body. Yet so many women’s sex lives are hampered by body insecurities. A positive self-image leads to a glorious sex life. Start beating your body image blues and feeling like a sex goddess. You can do it and here’s how.
Cosmetic camouflages
Do what you can to improve your looks - smooth legs, painted toenails, clean shiny hair, glowing skin. These strategies may be cosmetic but they do make you feel better about yourself. Choose beautiful lingerie - rather than big faded knickers - to boost confidence too.
There’s a lot you can do with simple camouflage. Keep that wonderful teddy on until the last moment when you slide between the sheets. Candlelight, or a soft bulb, create a flattering light and enhance the intimate mood.
Be conscious of your body language. Walk (or sit, kneel or recline) tall, by pulling in that stomach and rolling shoulders back so your breasts stand proud.
