Feeling sexy at any weight is a mind thing and the way you carry yourself...
I don't feel like I am a diffrent girl I was when I was smaller I just have some extra layers helps keep you warm and your guy when your cuddling up...
My sex appeal is there and I still think some men find me attractive...

BBW, my friend, If you do not think you are beautiful neither will any one else. But the opposite is also true, if you think you are beautiful then others will as well. I am definately a bbw at 5'8" and 290lbs, but i am confident, healthy, active and happy. I have no signs of disease and i am capable of going outside and playing with my girls. We ride bikes, play kick ball, swim among other things. My size does not keep me from doing the things i want to do. And yes i am sexy! I have classic beauty that does not need a lot of makeup.Thus I am free to be myself with no thought to some false front i need to put up for others. So be careful how you judge yourself because people will see that and they will believe your judgement.

As a plus size woman I don't have trouble having men be attracted to me...
Sex I belive if I want I can get it.
I can be a very exciting woman and that keeps men looking at me......
I am confident in my own sex appeal.

Okay, so I might be a "skinny bitch" by most people's standards (okay, not so much a bitch ;) ) but I find it sad that these very healthy, normal-looking and beautiful women are called "plus size". This is what women *should* look like: curvy and voluptuous. hell if I had a penis (or were a lesbian), I'd have sex with 'em! ;)
Besides, what better to hug than a great hourglass figure?

Glad to see this article. I'va been a rock musician for 30 years and have always loved the plump women. I'm tired of seeing anorexic women who you can't tell are men or women from behind because they have no shape or feminen atributes anymore. When you make love to them, it's like bones clacking together and you're always getting poked and stuck by the sharp edges.Hooray for women that still look like women!!

NONE of those women are big, by the way.
And it's insane to call them BBW. Has anyone seen what porn are calling BBWs? The women here are miniscule compared to them.
Society has skewed things so badly that we now think women who are a size 6 are overweight and are to be referred to as BBWs.
Sad.

I think all women are beautiful but "I've heard" that you don't see scrawny women in porn. That's a huge business and should tell you something

to begin...there are two types of guys...guys who like fat chicks...and guys who pretend they dont like fat chicks.hahaha...sorry fellas,but you know its true.
i am a...fat chick...5'11' 200lbs...clearly a woman and a half in every direction.i dont think i am hot, but i do agree that we bigger gals to tend to get laid more.why?well, i think it is because guys who are wanting a one-nighter go for a bigger girl after either too much to drink,or sheer desperation.and i think the girl gives in because some fat chicks think that the more guys they sleep with, the hotter it makes them...so it goes.and the guy knows the next day he will be bashing her to all his friends...but he secretly loved grabbing those yummy sweaty fat rolls...so the idea that fat chicks get more sex is true, but the reason why i think everyone is overlooking...they have self esteem issues, it all stems from that...
now if some of these girls were more like some of the other bbw's commenting and had more confidance, they would get the good type of attention they are desperately seeking.and it is out there ladies, i have dated guys who claimed to only be into skinny girls, when all i had to do is flash a smile and shake it...and i had them chasing me...the key is confidence, not fake confidence,not acting like a whore or being overly provocative, but real,hard to get, confidance...plus fat chicks are funnier.

Is all an stereo-type, either a cultural or created by the fashion industry. It cost them more to produce clothes for larger women, so they promote for the others. In other cultures a plus size lady is considered very attractive. And, as the the saying goes ... More is better.

I'm a BBW by choice... I have great sex and I think it's better quality sex! Guys that are looking to have sex with skinny girls are shallow. I like the guys that go for more than just looks.
For all the guys out there... try having sex with a BBW... it'll be life changing! We try harder to give you a good time! We know you're always going to be checking out the hot little ass walking down the street so we give you something to think about other than her!
I also think that the pin-ups posted here were a joke! They aren't BBWs... not one of them is bigger than a size 10!
It's also true, that to be a successful BBW you do have to let the world know that you are proud of who you are and you are confident in yourself. And smile... skinny or fat, people are attracted to other poeople they feel are happy in life!

I consider myself a BBW. I've always struggled with my weight, and I used to hate myself for it. I thought I was ugly because, like so many other plus-sized woman, I'd go to the store, have to go to the back corner to find my sized clothes, and stand inline staring at a size 2 magazine model. Now, I'm 20, 5'7 1/2" and 180lbs. I feel beautiful. Sometimes, I admit, I get a little downm but everyone does.
Though, I AM still a virgin, I've had several opportunities and offers (Many of which still stands) for a little midnight fun. Don't assume things about someones life when you have no idea. Us bigger ladies are just as attractive as any glossed over tooth-pick.

OMG...I can so relate! Its amazing how the body changes through the years and how sex can be more of a mindset! Before I had my daughter I was a 9/10 and people actually told me i looked sick and to skinny. Then after i had my daughter and kinda let myself go(oops!) Everyone was hard on me because my weight had gone up. I seriously have a hard time looking at myself, though my husband is very attracted to me. Im work on my physical fitness and eat better now. But..it seems that I may still be a big a big girl. lol

Alright first off, i have no problem with women on the bigger side. I've even dated a few, but I'm a little more than slightly offended by the pictures of the so called "plus size" models. They all look to be no bigger than a size 8 or 10, I'm a size 8 and have been half heartedly teased about being "small" or "tiny" most of my life. What is this world coming to in order to call a "petite" women "fat". In this day and age do you have to be a freaking size 4 to be called "skinny"?
