Simple enough question. If you were single could you participate in a sexual relationship with a morbidly obese person?
The link I cited uses a 100 lbs, but for this poll lets say someone 70 lbs above their ideal weight. A lot of the women on The Biggest Loser start the show around 210 lbs. Thats 70 to 80 lbs over the ideal for their height. Most of the men on that show start at about 280 lbs and up.
Be honest. Sex is largely a mental thing. If you can’t get aroused by a partner its not going to be very satisfying.
This is part 1. The 2nd poll in a few days will ask the same question about heavily tattooed partners.
There are limits beyond which I wouldn’t find someone sexually attractive, but 70 or 100 pounds isn’t it. I’d have more trouble being in a long-term relationship because of worries about their health, but a short-term fling or FWB? Sure.
When I think of morbidly obesity, I imagine someone a lot more than 70 lbs. above their ideal weight.
That being said, my answer is no. I was once in a short relationship with a guy who weighed about 275, but had other qualities to compensate. Eventually his weight became more of a turn-off.
I’m cyclically obese myself, and because of that I am never sexually attracted to obese people (or even the moderately overweight). I see them too much as lazy, disgusting pigs – mirrors of my own uncomfortable reality.
Absolutely not for me. I am as shallow as they come. It takes a lot less than that for someone to get disqualified.
OTOH, I have some friends that love to go pig hunting as they call it. They swear that fat chicks are the best ones in bed because they try harder and are more appreciative.
There are some sayings that go along with this. More cushin’ for the pushin’ is one. The other is the moped joke.
Fat girls are like a moped. They are a blast to ride but you don’t want your friends to see you on one.
I had a similar experience with a college friend. We had been friends for quite awhile and both had relationships that ended at about the same time. We started dating and had some epic make out sessions on the sofa. She had huge boobs that got me all worked up. But when we shifted into the bedroom things always cooled off. She was about 50 lbs over weight and it distracted me. I really tried to get used to it and continued with the relationship a couple months. I finally had to accept that her weight made it difficult to fully enjoy our intimate times together. It wouldn’t have been fair to either of us to continue dating.
Given that experience, there’s no way I’d have a sexual relationship with someone even heavier.
