So my boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 months now and we haven't gone beyond making out. I know he wants to feel me up and I want him to, but I'm not skinny and I'm self-conscious about my stomach area. Will he care? I don't want to be embarrassed.

I'm a size 22W gal and there is this guy (who's on the skinny side) that has fallen head over heals for me. i couldn't understand it at first as to what made me attractive to him, but it was me being (get this) me!!! that and loads of confidence!! i used to be self-conscious about my body being the size that it is, but that is not what drew him to me, it was me being me. plain and simple..

oh yeah, and they love seeing us smiling, it's a total turn on!

Hi,

Like you I;m pretty self conscious about my body. I'm curvy and have a bit of a tummy. In the past I have felt paranoid about my tummy, big girl thighs and arse, but I quickly realised that the things that I felt paranoid about are the things that my boyfriends (obviosuly not dating them all at the same, lol!) loved!

Once you get past feeling self conscious and realise that your boyfirend thinks your hot and sexy..........you'll be fine. Its always a bit scary initially, because you've spent so long hating certain parts of your body and trying to cover them up. Remeber he wouldn;t be going out with you if he didn't fancy you!

Goodluck!

Hi Anonymous,

Oh goodness - is that what you are worried about? Honey, i'm sure you have NOTHING to worry about. Firstly, guys love a little bit of meat on their girls. My boyfriend is forever pinching my love handles.

Secondly, what girl doesn't have a stomach? Good for you - you're happy, you're healthy, he obviously has something for you! So get it on!

Why not accentuate your feminisim by buying yourself some beautiful and sexy lingerie that accentuate your curves while at the same time, build your self esteem? That advice has worked for many of my young friends who come to me asking for help.

Good luck beautiful woman,

Replacement agony auntI'm sure he knows what you look like by now, so I doubt your stomach will be a surprise. Don't let your insecurities stop you from doing things you really want to do.
