Stop being so ashamed to say you’re craving affection and tenderness in a world that is a few more cans of hair spray away from going up in flames. your need and maybe even desperation for consistent touch, kisses & general intimacy is normal. Humans are community people baby. ♥️

My heart breaks when there is shame around sex. You deserve to love sex. You deserve to heal, define, and explore yourself in it and through it. Sex, like any other activity, can be frivolous and/or incredibly powerful. You are worthy of orgasms and lust. Pain and pleasure.

this is what I mean when I say that fatness obscures gender, bc when you are larger bodied people will assign you whatever gender fits the narrative they have/can make about you. this is why fatness, transness and queerness have almost inseparable relationships.
