Can body weight affect sexual pleasure?

[Jinxypoo]

Alright, so the title may or may not completely suit my question.
I, at the age of 20, (height 5'3)weigh in anywhere between 187 to 190, due to the fact that weight can change from being bloated to weighing in the latter part of the day. Now just out of curiosity, I was wondering if my weight can affect the intensity of an orgasam (either during oral or intercourse)? Also, can it affect the speed?(weither it be slow and sensual sex, or just down and dirty fast paced) I also understand that it depends on my mood, the happier I am the faster I climax...But, I can honestly say that any time I am able to see my Fiance and we are able to have that intamate time, I couldnt be happier.
This is just out of curiosity, and yes, I'm am doing everything to lose 40 lbs...not for him but for my own health!

Thanks!

(I hope I'm putting this in the right section...I thought it would pertain to womens health)

The better shape your body is in, the better the quality of sex will be. You have more options, stamina, ease of access, and energy than compared to now.

Today? Perhaps not. Tomorrow? Absolutely.

Fun hits the key points. The effects of excess weight on the body are cumulative. Carrying around excess weight has the effect of accelerating the aging process. Given your age, height and weight you will be facing challenges of age in your thirties when many women will still be in their prime. You should set a goal of the target weight for your height and body type plus not more than ten pounds. Each pound of excess weight you have equates to four excess pounds of stress on the hips, knees and ankles with each step you take. One of the effects of diabetes, which increases dramatically with weight, is sexual dysfunction. There are other, and worse, effects.

Do yourself a favor and get this under control.

Ok, so then that begs the question...what about underweight?

I'm 30 years old, 5'5", and right now roughly 105 lbs, give or take. I'd really prefer to be more like 120-125, but weight gain for the underweight is just as tough as weight loss is for the overweight--you have no idea. I'm type 1 diabetic on a pump, several years ago I went through a depressive stage and went from 125 lbs down to 95 in roughly 8 weeks, and have struggled to get it back and keep it ever since.

But anyway....other than what I think is a fear he has of breaking me, anything else I should know?

105lbs is very thin for your height. I'd say that certain factors might affect how sex is.

1. You're probably bony. That might hurt you, or him.
2. It sounds like you're unhealthy judging by the weight fluctuations and the severe diabetes (let me tell you, low blood sugar will lower your sex drive). The lethargy could lower your sex drive.
3. Your body image (you say you worry about being too thin) will detract from how much you are "in the moment".

Hope I'm of help

Your diabetes is more likely to affect libido than is your body weight. Eat a proper diet and keep monitoring. Ignore what blatant says above.

If he has a fear of breaking you, get "rough" slf. Show him the way.

Thanks Brandye. The reason I think he feels that way is, he's 6'3" and built like a football player--which I absolutely LOVE but he seems hesitant to have me anywhere but on top. I've suggested folding me into Deck Chair before. He says it's a keeping-his-balance thing, but I wonder at times.

Trust me, I know about low blood sugar's affect on sex. I once had to stop a session because of a reaction--the 60 to 0 in 2.5 seconds literally had me in tears.

I like it when a man collapses on top of me at the proper moment. It is surprising how few men ever let themselves go because of potential damage to the fairer sex. Too bad. I could whip most of them anyway.

I know! I mean, I love a chivalrous guy as much as the next woman, but show off that brute strength now and again too, huh?
