Plus Size Relationships

Television has many commercials these days advertising companies and websites that help you meet the right person. These commercials typically employ actors that are gorgeous meeting other gorgeous actors and falling in love with them. You can’t really say that these are realistic examples of the people that live in the world these days! With the obesity rate clearly on the rise today, there are more and more plus size couples emerging all the time.  Many have found plus size dating sites a great way to meet each other.

Clearly, even though there are many plus size people in the world, everything is still geared mostly toward thin and beautiful people. You won’t find a lot of advice columns targeting the plus size couple. In fact, it seems to be taboo to think about larger couples engaging in intimate acts with each other. So, it’s going to be hard to find sex advice for these couples.  If this fits you, have a look at the following tips to spice things up for plus size couples:

• Be realistic: While there are lots of fun and entertaining ideas to enhance your sex life, many of them just aren’t possible for plus size people to pull off. There are, however, plenty of lingerie shops that cater to larger women. You’ll find lots of these online and most of them offer you discreet shipping right to your front door. Look for those shops rather than the usual ones that only carry sizes 0 – 12. They’re easy to find. This is also true of the sex help books on the market. Stay realistic about what you and your partner can and can’t do.
• Stay comfortable: Don’t give in to the pressure to perform, especially when you know the limitations of each other. Having sex should be about love and pleasure rather than pain and agony. If you’re doing something sexually that hurts or isn’t comfortable, you have to share that with your partner. The only pain that you should have in your relationship is something that both of you agree on.
• Concentrate on each other: What society thinks of you being together shouldn’t matter. There’s really nothing that says two plus size people can’t enjoy each other sexually just like any other couple. Instead of being anxious over public opinion, concentrate on the one you love. Find out what makes you both happy and do that.

• Ignore conventionality: Most people think of intimacy as only being about sex. This is far from the truth. You can be intimate without being sexual. There’s no rule that you have to have sex in order to be intimate. You can do this in other ways. Don’t feel forced to have sex until you’re totally ready for it.

Yes, it’s true that there are disadvantages to being a plus size couple. However, as long you’re honest, realistic and open with each other, there’s no reason why your relationship can’t have as much romance and passion as a “normal” size couple. Do things together that create intimacy and build a relationship that’s solid. This helps you enjoy having someone special to spend your life with.
