I dont worry about what others think of my body. Opinions on what looks good are like butt-holes, everyone has one. I only worry about my own health and fitness goals; and in life, the rest (that is associated with body image) will take care of itself.
This comes from a person that has been beaten and battered and has his personal spirit pulled right out of his heart as a child---by his own mother. With my childhood, I had every reason to have a body image problem. But I dont. I changed this and put the spirit my mother took from me and put it back inside of me. (I may relate this story in the COL, if someone asks)
I have been married 24 years. Believe me when I tell you that the majority of the percentage of a successful relationship is OUT OF THE BED ROOM and the bond between two human beings and the compatability terms freely (and sometimes involuntary) established between two individuals. And, I dont care of the opinion expressed by persons on the outside looking in. The very ones critiquing my marriage cant take care of their own. And, their critiquing my relationship? Not happenen or allowed. I do the critiquing around here, baby! I am the BOSS of what I allow in and allow out. Be a good filtering system!
Do I think about sex, absolutely! Is it the most important thing. Absolutely not. Is it a player in a relationship? Absolutely. However, if one doesnt connect outside the bedroom, whether sex is good or bad, will not matter squat.
