Sex and the fat girl: Subjectivity and Self-Image | BITCH Magazine

Read this.

The desire of a partner for you should be the icing on your self-image cake. (Mmm, cake.) Feeling good about yourself starts with feeling good about yourself, it doesn’t start when someone else starts feeling good about you. As I’ve said, self-love is a journey—and a solitary one at that. If you haven’t done any internal work (and I’m not saying that you have to be completely free of negative thoughts about yourself), starting a relationship may only serve as a distraction if you don’t recognize that your self-image is slowly being wound up in their feelings for you.

Now read this again.

Internalize this, remember this, contemplate this every time you feel so inclined to get naked and get down with someone else.

It's Just a Period, People!

About

On this pro-period website, we'll be deconstructing menstruation, periods, menarches, moontimes and more.

IJP is run by Mia and Kristan. Be sure to check out their websites and the rest of the great resources we've included on the 'Sites We Like' page.

We'll do our best to answer any questions that you have while we entertain you with our absolutely absorbing period-positive posts. We love suggestions and questions, so use our ask and submit boxes as often as you'd like.

NOTE: This is a sex-positive, body-positive, gender-neutral, PoC-friendly, queer-happy, LGBTerrific, and trigger-free site. Any messages/posts that undermine this site's goal of being an inclusive and safe space for everyone will not be tolerated. Potentially triggering posts/photos will be indicated with a trigger warning [TW] at the top.

DISCLAIMER: We give lots and lots of reproductive health-related advice on this blog that is founded on our experiences, the experiences of others and our own thorough, independent research.
