Okay, I just joined SLS and haven't been able to stop checking out the photos of my matches.... it's a little addictive actually. But strangely, something happened I didn't expect: I'm starting to really feel a lot better about my body after seeing what's out there. This is pretty much a miracle because I've always had body image issues, even when I was (much) younger and weighed (OMG!) 125. I guess all my life I've primarily seen nudity in movies, magazines, and porn.... and have never been exposed to ACTUAL REAL PERSON NUDITY other than in a few instances. All this time I've been comparing every inch of cellulite and stretch mark against the bodies of Angelina Jolie or Gisele. I worried over the size and shape of my breasts and my hips and everything else. Wow, for the first time in my life I feel like maybe I'm not so hideous after all! Now I'm so excited to go to my first party and just be myself and not worry so much about how I look.... because somehow it turns out I'm not so bad after all. How has swinging changed how you view your body and attractiveness? Can you remember when you first realized you might actually be sexy despite your flaws?
