As shocking as it may sound, it is possible to convey that a character is interested in sex and relationships without physically stripping her naked for us to look at. It happens with dudes all the time.
boobs
weight
I’m not allowed to utter the words “run” or “exercise" without eliciting an intervention. Can I preserve my heart, please?
body dysmorphia
I don’t fulfill all of my pubescent dreams because I am still hung up on what my body looks like when I am having sex.
insecurities
She may condition little girls to question their measurements, but I was more concerned with not having nipple-less breasts like hers.
body image
Are these seriously the depths to which we have descended as a society, that three young women can be turned away from prom for having breasts?
concealer
Including the best concealer to hide insecurities!
fitness
I normally write articles about the things I do in my kitchen, or my orgasm anxiety, but today, I am about to whine for the next 1,000 words about my ass.
body image
I offer the following proposal: maybe we should just stop trying to be hot.

One by one, members of the dance team were asked to come into a small office area in our sports bras and shorts as our coaches told us if we should work on any “problem areas."
fashion
Lashing out at thin women to tell them they aren’t wanted isn’t the way to address disparities and prejudices in fashion.

fat
I'm having trouble seeing these so-called "plus sized" Swedish mannequins blowing up on Facebook as some great leap forward in body acceptance. I KNOW, I'M SUCH A GRUMP.
body
Tina Fey recently said that she won't talk crap about her own body in front of her daughters because she doesn't want to set a bad example. I wonder if my mom did the same thing, but now that I've grown up, she no longer has to maintain the illusion.
fat acceptance
In the greatest depths of my body issues, I refused to sleep with anyone who wasn’t at least somewhat overweight.
gym
I'm the only lady under 70 that changes and showers without an elaborate scheme involving towels and sleight-of-hand to be constantly covered.
doctors
Is it the responsibility of doctors to watch their words to avoid upsetting patients? Or is their job simply to identify and communicate “facts” truthfully?
ihtm contest
If you looked at me now, or looked at me in 2003, I was 163 pounds both times. But what was going on inside my body was completely different.
bodies
Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was hooking up with a guy who took it upon himself to shake my stomach fat while informing me that he liked "my jiggly belly"?
plus size
I'm just fine with the way my body looks and feels at this moment. What makes me hate myself is not being able to fit into clothes -- my own and those in stores.
body issues
Since the age of 12, I had been taught to burrito myself in a beach towel at all swimsuit-wearing times or wear an oversized T-shirt to protect the delicate fat-phobic sensitivities of those around me.
chick lit
Reading about people who hate their bodies normalizes body hate. But it's not like chick lit invented characters who don't like their bodies.
body issues
Slowly, I began to feel uncomfortable eating junk around Nick. He would be slamming down protein shakes, growing bigger and stronger, while I remained small and soft and unsure of what to do with this vast difference in body type.
