I’d love to do something like that - if Lovehoney do this with regular customers / forum writers then it could be a step towards body positivism and highlighting a happy sexual side at any age. I wouldn’t mind IRL details being used, as long as my online name wasn’t also given… I’ll keep an eye out.
@Cassii - this is a great thread! Thank you xx
I’d show my face just to see the look on my mother’s 
@Justthe2ofus2007, im so sorry to hear that you went through something so awful, and I’m really glad to hear that you’ve opened up about it to your loved ones and sought more help. You are so strong 
And what a great achievement to shift the weight, you must feel so much more comfortable. Excess skin is so hard, if removing it one day helps you feel more at home in your own body then I think it’s a positive thing to look forward to, and in the meantime I bet you are beautiful as you are right now - it certainly sounds like your hubby thinks so! 
ETA: @Dont_its_not_all_about_Getting - not model material?? You’re deffo giving the professional models a run for their money!
I don’t feel positive about my body, I never have. I have struggled all my adult life.
Sending hugs your way @Knight1119
It’s not an easy thing and a lot of people struggle. You’re not alone.
Knight, i hope you learn to accept your body. Look for the good points instead of the perceived bad ones. Like i said in my post i have ugly scarred hands, but on the plus side they’re sensitive and gentle. Try using that tactic on yourself. Chin up my friend!
Thanks Cassii, very kind.
Thanks Will, I’ll try.
It’s all about perception, I think my hands are ugly, my OH thinks they’re rugged! You should focus on your good points, of which I’m sure there are many!
We’re always our own worst critics I find! I can point out all sorts of things I don’t like about myself, but the same things on someone else, I can honestly and genuinely compliment. I hope that makes sense.
I think in some way we need to adapt the saying about looking at life through rose tinted glasses to looking at ourselves through them and seeing ourselves positively. Easier said than done!
(I hope that makes sense rather than the random rambling of a tired brain!)
@Justthe2ofus2007, thanks, that’s really kind of you. I’m so pleased that I’ve helped others in even a small way.
Dude you look good sure, but better than the “I’m sure they are NOT photoshopped” Lovehoney Plus size models ??? Dude ???
Let me put that back out there at ya’!
Great poll, lovely topic.
I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t change something about themselves. I think we are all our harshest critics. We all look at other people thinking, I wish I had her hair, his shoulders, her boobs, his height, etc. We’ve just got to remember there will always be someone wishing they had something of ours too!
The VERY best thing is a supportive partner. My cheerleader has completely changed the way I see myself, literally from head to toe. My greying hair looks “distinguished”, my smile is “beautiful”, my feet are “lovely” and all points between. I am reminded everyday, so often, that even I now believe it, as the tears stream down my face at the thought that I can mean so much to somebody xx
I need one.
@CurvyJilly you have supportive friends here if that helps!
My Beautiful Melody1,
Alas some of us are indeed Undersized 
and when browsing for our next Purchase it’s hard not to make observations of hmmm how can I put it… perfect perfections, the 8 pack or the thighs thicker than my own torso, the skins so smooth and bronzed not an imperfection to be found.
I may look somewhat normal in comparison, but normal is beautiful, in every way and whilst individuals may struggle with there own aspects of normal, others absolutely love it so I will put my pale skinned small skinny frame, thighs that belong hanging from a nest and hey honestly I love my 4 pack up against them any day 
The best advert for LH is the photo gallery, nothing is more beautiful to look at than honest, normal people what ever there normal is with all kinds of PERFECT imperfections out there for everyone to truly see.
So bring it on you LH Adonis in those red Boxer shorts, yes you god damn hunk of a man…bring it on 
Tristement moi aussi dupis mars
It seems to hurt less to say it in a foreign language
Thank you for this! It’s not really “a thing” for guys to talk about it. After all we are all perfect and have sculpted bodies and huge willies 
I do struggle with my appearance and self esteem. Thankfully I have my girl who is supportive and understanding. We support one another and it’s fab. One day I’ll have better self esteem eh!?
It’s nice to see new people posting in the gallery, all ages, shapes and sizes, hopefully boosting confidence!
