Dry January is a good idea – just not in your sex life

Lying on top of my boyfriend, I couldn’t help but notice how my soft belly sat on top of his much-harder stomach. My large breasts swung in his face as I leaned forward, taking on a peculiar tube-like shape as gravity did its thing, while the heat of the room made my rolls ‘stick’ to his skin more than usual.

Suddenly, my mind began to drift to dark places. Unwanted evil thoughts snuck their way into my head as I silently tutted at myself for not having a tighter frame, for not being as slim as I want to be, or have been before. The crazy thing about these intrusive thoughts is that my lover doesn’t feel this way about the soft curves of my body – on the contrary, he loves them.

He has told me as much many times, and how much he enjoys having me on top. And yet, despite this knowledge, I can’t help but think that I really need to hit the weights harder. With it being the start of a new year, when lots of us try and improve ourselves, many of you might recognise this sexual scenario.

Perhaps you’re standing in front of the mirror, poking parts of your body you are unhappy with, while telling yourself off for overindulging during Christmas. Afraid to show your naked body to another person. We like to think that January is a month of self-care – but take it from me, depriving yourself of sex is never going to help you.
