Swinging and Body Image

[UCONN Keith]

I've noticed many postings of late in which members are questioning their own body image and their possible "fit" into "swinging" and/or "Polyamory.

I know we all have our own preferences (mine is shubby/bbw's - red hair a plus! ) so I wanted to take a poly to see what others thought.

Thanks!

Thank you baby!!

For me, personally... not too skinny, not too chubby. (More emphasis on "not too skinny"... I don't want to feel like I am going to break her!). My girl is 36-24-36 exactly. She is thin in the right places, and curvy in the others. I think she's perfect! But again... that is just my personal preference.

Mr. LFM -- likes average to voluptuous. (my gorgeous wife is voluptuous) I don't really find skinny women attractive.

Mrs. LFM -- has no preference. She's just glad to be here.

I'm all about the plushies (thick/chubby/voluptuous). Although I am attracted to many "types" of women I tend to gravitate toward the plushier side.

Oh my voluptuous, redheaded self is feeling the love!!

I love men who are "stocky". I like them over 5'9" tall, and they have to weigh at least around 200 pounds. I like pretty much them all......my "fetish", as Jay calls it, are white men with dark hair and dark eyes. They are my weakness man lol.
But I love men's arms, and stubble, and chest hair......I pretty much like men in general lol. Green eyes, blue eyes...........

[LetsParty]

Strangely (or not so strangely!), I've always liked new partners to be different from my current partner! When I've had girlfriends that were teeny, 5'0, 100bls, well, it was always thrilling being with a 5'8 type of woman.

Similarly, when I've dated women who had massive boobs, it was always nice to hook up with someone with a perky set of B's.

Conversely, when a girlfriend would have B's, how nice would it be to play with a woman with D cups!

Soooo... I guess the answer is all contextual!

Presently, my wife has a killer bod (bikini photo just made a car calendar), yet for this poll, I ticked off Thin/Skinny. I think it's just a phase I am going through.....!

[Mr.T]

I love girls bigger than me.(I'm 5'11",150lbs).This is because my experience with thin girls has been bad(no steryotyping intended),while women of structure have been good for me.

Just my own experience.

Rule #1 from me: stop worrying about it. I have to remind myself this daily. Jay and I are meeting a great couple tomorrow evening, and I'm freaking out here lol.....I don't think I have a piece of skin that has not been shaved, exfoliated or masked! LOL

Keith,

You said the magic words....RED HAIR IS A PLUS!!! facelick I am feeling really good right now knowing that there are more guys out there that have such an attraction to red heads. I am so glad I am a natural red head.

This is an interesting question and loved reading everyone's comments. I am an average woman, not really thin but not chubby or overweight. When MrVan and I first got into the lifestyle I was very self conscious of my body image. I had more weight than I wanted and had been wanting to do something about it. Well, being in the lifestyle kind of pushed me to start taking better care of myself therefore now I watch what I eat, I exercise and I have lost 12 pounds over the last few months.

Just being active and working out has made me feel better about myself than I have felt in a very long time. I still have some more to loose and my target is not to be ultra thin, but just to tone up those areas that need the toning.

When MrVan and I look for a couple, we look at personalities but also weight as we do not want those that are overweight but we have played with those who are average, not overweight and not extremely thin or thin. What attracts us more to individuals is their personality and how they carry themselves. So many people we thought we would not play with, we have because no matter their weight they carried theirselves with such confidence and to me that is more attractive than the size of the individual.
