Is it normal to not want to have sex, fearing rejection of your body?

Yeah, I've lost weight (let's say, 37lb.s) since my senior year of high school,and I feel somewhat better about myself. But I still feel that if I ever end up in a serious relationship (in my mind, its with my "perfect guy/man.") that when it will come to sexual intimacy, my jiggly ,untoned, leftover pooch belly will make him want to dump me. I'm scared. and call me shallow or whatever, but I do want to be toned and "perfect", so that I can also have a toned or whatever guy...sigh. I guess, i think like this b/c I've also never been in relationship and I'm about to be 19...I need advice...experiential advice.

    If you want that near perfect body, go for it. It's hard work and it takes discipline. But the end result is worth it. And also if you are in a serious relationship, the only thing the guy is going to think when he sees a naked girl in front of him is " OMG!!! There is a naked girl in front of me."

    Have you seen some of the people having sex out there? I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'm pretty sure this is the most normal thing in the world.

    An untoned abdomen isn't ideal for many people, but I really don't see someone 'rejecting your body' because of it.

    Before I met my boyfriend, I had told people that I was going to become Asexual and never have sex, because there were so many things I was afraid of, and how I didn't want to do it because I didn't want someone to see me naked and I would hate it if they did because that would be so awkward beyond belief. Then I met my boyfriend and yes, at first it was still awkward, but y know I trusted him, so yes, it is perfectly normal to not want to have sex because you worry about your body image, just wait, you'll meet someone and it will all change.

    Ok, girls need to stop looking for perfect men and there dismissing what could be wonderful relationships because of it, you might find a guy with equally debillitating self esteem issues who understands, but you dont think about that because you'll only go for this really toned guy. You might find him, and he might understand just as much. Don't assume things about anyone else or even yourself

    Someone will accept your body and be happy with it, but every girl is scared of being rejected for not having the "perfect body"

  • Nah. Go to wal mart, check out all the ugly broads with boyfriends. That should make you feel like model. Unless you go to wal mart, and you notice that you fit in.

    When you fall in love and find the right person, none of that is going to matter! If you are that concerned about it, look into doing some specific exercises designed for toning those muscles. A half hour to an hour a day 3-5 times a week should be sufficient. The world today puts too much emphasis on looks. It really boils down to starting with a friendship and going from there.

  • if he really cares for you, this "future man" than he won't care about your body, its not all about looks and is also mentally
