I won't have sex because I have stretch marks?

I am a virgin and won’t have sex because I have stretch marks I am 21yrs old virgin. I struggle with my weight so it’s on and off >I am 5ft 4 inches weighs 116 lbs I don’t have a boyfriend now but I know I will some day and I’m a bit insecure about sex because of my stretch marks. As I have stretch marks on my ass and hips. This makes me a bit insecure and I’m scared to appear nude in front of a dude. Does it really matter?

  • I was in the exact position as you, I have allot of stretch marks, hips butt legs upper/lower thighs, I felt awful going through my teens and would not go swimming without shorts. I always felt ugly and cried. when I was 17 I met my boyfriend and for moths I did not show him, and when I did show him, he said "that's all, that's what you have been afraid of showing me that's nothing" and we have been together for 7 years and he thinks I am so beautiful and I feel so much better about myself now. He even has a few stretch marks too, and so do both my brothers. allot of guys have them, and most girls have them and 90% of women will get them during pregnancy. They are a part of life and any man who can't handle them should not have kids, and certainly is not worthy of your love.

    • also look at this link link

  • I have stretch marks too, my body has lots of imperfections, but my boyfriend thinks I am beautiful :) I'm sure when you get a boyfriend he will think you are beautiful too!

    None of the guys I have been with have ever said anything about my stretch marks. Most guys don't care because they are in love with the girl. The only people that would care are people who are shallow. So no, stretch marks are not a deal breaker for most guys :)

  • Guys doesn't even care, don't worry about it! I have stretch marks, and quite a lot of women does as well. Think its just the media that portrayes a flawless image, which doesn't show how "regular" women actually are.

  • No. A real guy will be into you because he likes you, not because of the scars and he won't be put off by anything, because he really will find you perfect for him no matter what, so try and gain confidence in that most girls get these scars, its a body thing, because girls mature very quickly sometimes, which leaves scars like you explain, its not always down to weight, but a real guy really won't batter an eyelid really, your look awesome, and also, see a gp about your yoyo weight, because this could be hormonal which often can be sorted easily, good luck,x

  • To some guys it doesn't matter, but if your insecure you can sex in dim lights or neon light (which will give your skin a smooth look and hide stretch marks).

    Btw apply this cream: link

    This will help in reducing the stretch marks, but not remove it completely. Good luck ;-)

  • Nope. it doesn't at all. A) there are all kinds of vitamin e lotions that repair your skin. B) you get to decide if the lights are on. C) Would you want to get in bed with someone who would clown on you for being yourself?

  • Struggle with your weight? You are skinny. I go for curvy women and I don't mind stretch marks.

  • No it doesn't. Being insecure about them makes you so much more unappealing than the stretch mark themselves.

  • i understand that...i too was insecure about it. stretch marks don't matter.

  • No, I have stretch marks

    if you were my girlfriend would you think they were disgusting and not have sex

    We're the same and not always as shallow as some women assume

    We all have perceived flaws, but someone who really likes you doesn't care about them and cares more about the positives,

    you have a personality and a face as well

  • Well if I were your boyfriend, I wouldn't care one bit. ^^

  • Stretch marks are no biggie, they don't even register on my radar.

  • Im 5 ft 4 and 117 ibs.. and I don't consider myself fat. So you're telling me that you struggle with your weight, well I find that as in insult because I'm the exact same, so does that make me fat?

    • No I do not mean struggle with my weight as being fat. Maybe I phrased it wrong what I meant was it is difficult for me to keep weight on with my hectic lifestyle. I do catalogued modelling and I am a university student, so I find it hard to eat healty and maintain a weight of 120lbs which is my goal :)

  • most women have stretch marks, no matter what size you are. I am skinny and I have them! I have them on my breasts, bottom, thighs, and calves... it's from growing. Not because your fat... and your weight isn't fat.

    • I have them there too! My mom only has them from when she was pregnant so I thought I was the only one! Yay! *hugs*
