Where do I begin? I suppose as a BBW woman, I am supposed to be ashamed of my body. I am not, I love the soft curves of my figure, the suppleness in contrast to the hard body of a man. I first discovered the ability to be comfortable with my body back in college, senior year. I was a late bloomer and did not begin dating until then so we will begin with my first boyfriend, Will.
I had always been told to hide my curves behind baggy clothes, but I never saw the point. Wouldn't that just make me look larger? So I had always assumed that after years of being indoctrinated to be ashamed, that I would be. Our first date had started with a massage, and we all know where that leads, first the sweater slips off, and his hands start feeling every piece of skin that is available to him. Then he leans in for what turns out to be my first kiss. His tongue snakes its way into my mouth parting my inexperienced lips and begins to taste my tongue. Then I move from the floor to the bed and we begin a real make out session. His hands all over me and mine on him; it was a frenzy for someone as inexperienced as myself. But a glowing few hours later we reemerged for air, and I reemerged with a new found confidence. For if he thought I was beautiful who was I to argue with him, clearly the man has good taste!
