I’m a straight female, overweight, but it’s in all the right places! I haven’t had sex for months. Recently I started seeing someone I met on-line. He’s a very nice guy, pretty good-looking, and has an excellent personality. But he happens to be very overweight. I’m not attracted to heavy men and I have never slept with an overweight man. Never! But I really like this guy, so all signs were pointing in that direction.

Since few straight guys are into having their tits played with, I’m thinkin’ your fat-assed man friend brought up his boobs to brace you, not entice you. If his tits are extraordinarily large, he’s probably had a few bad experiences with women who’ve flipped the first time they saw him shirtless. To avoid further humiliation, he may have a policy of mentioning his boobs before getting naked with someone new, much like people who are HIV positive or missing a nut/tit often inform potential sex partners in advance.

My girlfriend and I are both big girls. She is five-nine and 220, and I am five feet and 190. We met and fell in love six months ago. Part of what we love about each other is that we’re both sex freaks. We are both artists, and I am a poet as well. I work a shit job that I want to quit, and we both hate work in general. We would like to start offering “private shows.” My girlfriend is a “top” who has fucked men in the ass before. We’ve thought of putting on a show with her as a dom, fucking a guy we’d hire, and I would be the all-around sub girl. How much would be acceptable to charge for this? Is this safer than other sex work? But most importantly, do you know of any big girls doing sex work? Do we have a niche? –Workin’ Fat Girls

Then I went to my doc for my regular checkup. The first shocker was high blood pressure, but I figured I’d walk a little more and hide the salt shaker. Then the lab results came back: I had type 2 diabetes, seriously high cholesterol, hypertension, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Polycystic ovaries cause infertility, but that’s the least of my worries. I am at risk for kidney failure, nerve damage, amputations, heart disease, stroke, and blindness–all at 25!
