Those who are
overweight have several options at their disposal to begin enjoying a great sex
life, even if they are overweight. Some of them require a change in behavior
and some a change in attitude. In some areas of their sex lives, the obese
report twenty-five times as many problems as people of weight levels considered
healthy. Many reported avoiding sex entirely. In spite of the scientific
advances regarding the role of the hormones and the prevention of diseases
(such as obesity), sexual judgments have not changed much over the centuries.
As open-minded as society has become, people often lack sufficiently in the
area of accepting those who are obese and understanding their desires for an
enjoyable sex life are equal to those who are not obese. Next time you see an
obese person on the street or store do not look away, make eye contact, say
hello. Remember a person who is obese deserves friendship, love, and
companionship as much as a person whose weight falls into the
"healthy" categories. Many obese people simply cannot help their
weight and want sex just as every other person does.
