Intimacy issues



Recommended Posts

I have a very caring, loving boyfriend. He says that he is attracted to me and I believe him, but he has issues with my skin at the moment when we try and become intimate. I am very sad about this and it's causing me a lot of emotional stress. He is also having issues due to the fact he feels this way and he doesn't want to. Damn some men with their visual needs lol.. I am still a long way out from having any PS so I only see this getting worse before better. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions of how we can try and work through this period of time?

Thanks :Dancing_biggrin:

I have lost about 98lbs and have lots of sagging in the belly. I have a big issue with it but it bothers me more than my husband. I have bought some lingerie to hide mine. They are really visual so masking the problem areas may help!

Yup - lingerie helps a LOT! Go to a good lingerie store and get fitted for quality stuff. It's more expensive but it makes a BIG difference. Stuff available online never fits properly when you have skin issues, and doesn't give the right support or hide the right things. Once you find that special something that helps you to feel sexy and disguises the sagging skin, take extra good care of it, so that you get your value for the money. It's worth it, believe me!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
