Fat people have sex. I know, I know, our whole lives we’ve been told that to be pretty (and sexy) we have to be skinny. And if we aren’t skinny, we should not only not have sex, we should feel bad about our bodies and not want to share them with other people. Well, I don’t know about you, but I offer up a big FUCK YOU to that mentality. And apparently I’m not alone.
Researchers recently studied a 2002 national survey and found that overweight women have more heterosexual sex than women of “normal” weight (which, I suppose means their BMI falls within a specific number range). According to the study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 92 percent of overweight women reported having a history of sexual intercourse with a man, as opposed to 87 percent of women with a normal body mass index. This, or course, blew the researchers minds. (via Jezebel)
“These results were unexpected and we don’t really know why this is the case,” Dr. Bliss Kaneshiro of the School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii said in a statement.
Of course it’s unexpected! If an entire culture repeatedly stresses the importance of being thin to get laid, then duh that everyone would be totally caught off guard by fat chicks having the most sex.
I, on the other hand, am not surprised. I am a fat chick. And I love sex. And I’m not talking about demure, lights off, clothes still on, embarassed sex - I mean raunchy, no holds barred, totally comfortable fucking. The idea that some people are so worried about their belly jiggling while having sex that they can’t have fun makes me so so sad. And furious at a fatphobic culture that not only allows for, but encourages that type of body shaming. Fat is not a four letter word – no matter how many times we are made to believe it is.
One more thing before I get off my soapbox (because you know I could go on for days). I think it’s really crappy when a toy company makes strap-on harnesses that only accommodate smaller sizes. Whether intentional or not, it sends a loud and clear message that the company doesn’t think fat people fuck. Well, guess what, they do. And while it’s easy to modify a harness to fit a larger body, I don’t have any interest in giving my money (or my approval) to a company that doesn’t think it’s important for me to get off. Two harnesses that rock my fat world are the Make Me Blush Leather Harness and the Wild Angel Harness (review coming soon!).
If you think fat gals are as hot as I do, be sure to check out April Flores, the zaftig porno queen of my dreams pictured above.

I love this!
I too was really pissed about the majority of the strap-on harnesses.
The other thing not made for fat chicks? Those damn hands-free butterfly vibes. I reviewed the Venus Penis 2 a while back….despite the fact that, on the whole, it sucks….there was no way in hell i could squeeze my thighs/belly into that thing.
It has been pounded into my brain that I’m not desirable because I’m fat. Not as much now with my blog, but in the general public I’ve found that to be true. Perhaps I live in a closed-minded uptight state?
An can I say a big ‘Hallelujah’ to that, J.D.! I’m right with you on this – completely unsurprised at the findings, and loving myself in all my extra-sized, jiggly, curvaceous glory
April is absolutely stunning, too, I agree!

Here, here! Well said.
And April is utterly lovely.
I’m a fat girl and I hate sex now that I’m fat. I felt so much better about myself when I was thinner (and even only 20 pounds thinner, which isn’t a huge difference). Just because society says my body isn’t sexy doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
