That’s hot: A positive body image helps increase sexual desire and satisfaction in the bedroom
There’s a comedy skit online featuring Tina Fey, Amy Schumer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Patricia Arquette joking about how Hollywood determines the age when a woman is no longer, ahem, sexually desirable .
Thanks to Hollywood, social media and porn, many are left thinking that sexuality is only meant for young, stretchmark-free and able-bodied people.Body image, what you think about your physical appearance, has a profound impact on various aspects of life, including emotional well-being, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships.
The entertainment industry often reflects narrow and unrealistic standards of beauty, which creates an environment where people feel like they have to match an idealized appearance. These standards can shape perceptions of what counts as an attractive body, leading to comparisons and self-criticism. The pressure to conform to these ideals can significantly affect your body image and, as a result, influence sexual desire.
On the other hand, a negative body image can introduce challenges to intimacy. You may avoid certain sexual activities or positions due to discomfort with your appearance. Feelings of self-consciousness or shame can diminish the ability to be present in the moment and fully enjoy the experience. This phenomenon, referred to as “spectatoring,” happens when you feels as though you’re looking at yourself from the outside in as opposed to feeling fully immersed in the experience.
