Take a look at any magazine rack. What do you see? Tons of articles about how to get the perfect butt, flat abs, a bigger chest or toned arms. This kind of marketing feeds off peoples’ insecurities about their bodies. Listen up ladies: No amount of squats will turn your flat ass into the ghetto booty you so desire or flatten out that stomach pouch that is a result of too many trips to Johnny’s.
Instead of trying to fix your body’s imperfections, “work what yo’ mama gave ya!” Everyone has some part of their body that they really like, so instead of trying to cover up the not-so-stellar parts, work the parts of your body you do like.
For the bootylicious ladies who may be carrying a little extra weight around the tummy area, full-frontal nudity is probably not your most flattering stance. Instead, give your partner a little strip tease from behind, and save taking your shirt off for last. Arching your back will make your butt look even better. Your partner will be so focused on your luscious badonk-a-donk, they won’t even pay attention to your areas of insecurity. You’ll also feel less exposed, therefore making you more confident. Another trick would be to don your man’s button-down shirt and nothing else, with the buttons undone enough to show some solid cleavage. Men are visual and territorial creatures, so the image of you half-naked in his shirt will drive him wild, and it covers up any areas you feel are a problem.
If you have nice breasts, make them the center of attention. Whether it’s with a sexy push-up bra or being on top, work your boobs. This is especially good if you are trying to switch positions and there may be a moment or two of unflattering body positioning. If you can keep your boobs in your partner’s face as long as possible while switching things up, he or she won’t even notice what’s going on down below. You can even incorporate the boobs into the main act by letting the guy titty-f— you — sorry, I couldn’t think of a better term for it. If you don’t know what that is, go to urbandictionary.com.
For the petite girl who wants to be a bigger force in the bedroom, try taking on more dominant roles. Tie up your partner, be on top, talk dirty or do anything that amps up your energy and makes your presence felt in the bedroom. Also, big hair is always good.
Another thing about hair is that it can totally kick things up in bed. Who doesn’t love having their hair played with? Having your partner pull your hair can be a turn-on for both of you, and running the tips of your hair over sensitive areas of your partner’s body can send shivers up and down his or her spine. Volumized hair — whether it’s curly, wavy or straight — can really heighten your confidence and sex appeal. Use it to your advantage. To quote “Hairspray,” “Hair shouldn’t be a dead thing that lies on your cheeks.”
The most important thing any girl can rock is her confidence. I know there is a fiery sex kitten in each and every one of you out there. Just because you aren’t a size two with huge boobs and a Kim Kardashian ass doesn’t mean you can’t get naked and have a good time. If you are confident with who you are, your sexuality and at least one or two of your body parts, you can be just as sexy as any Victoria’s Secret model — if not more so because you probably have a personality.
