Here's a healthy benefit to being fat.
One study says that overweight women are having more sex than normal weight women.
Who knew?
According to this study--I first saw it reported on That's Fit--big girls have more fun in bed.
The research is based on the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth, found that bigger women simply have intercourse with men more often than normal weight women.
On one hand, the study in itself is offensive if it started out assuming the stereotype that fat women can't get any. That's just wrong. But objectively, it is interesting, and researchers aren't sure why overweight women reported more sexual activity.
What do you think of this study? Why would bigger women have more sex than skinnier ones?

I agree fat women have more sex. I happen to be a fat woman that has way more sex than her skinny friends. LOL Even before I married I dated more and had one hell of a sex life. I am not offended by the study because lots of people assume that all men prefer skinny women. My husband prefers women that are size 14 and up.
My opinion is that some skinny women are so caught up in not getting fat, looking fat or whatever, that their insecurity scares off potential partners. The guys I was with loved that I was comfortable with my own body and I felt sexy.
Oh, see now, Cafebuzzer, this is interesting! Good buzzing. I'm going to check out the study in a minute. One thing I will say, without seeing the study, is that if the results are valid, it may be that "fit" women are less comfortable with themselves and their relationships, and therefore have less sex. But, that is a random guess I pulled from my, um, less-than-fit butt.
Oh, ok- the plot thickens, the study becomes even more interesting. According to one interpretation, large and lovely ladies are more or less being dangerously discriminated against by their health care providers, who assume these ladies "can't get any", and fail to instruct them in safe sexual practices. Well, that's not very nice (or ethical), is it?
i think it would be interesting to see if they broke the study down to cultural demographics. . . for example, culutrally, african american men tend to like "overweight" women more than "normal size" women. i put those in parenthesis because i'm not sure what they're calling "overweight." there are a lot of women i would not call "fat" that some people would. anyway. it's interesting, anyhow. i've met a lot of men who prefer a lady with curves. . . not moribly obese or anything. . . but not stick-thin, for sure.
Perhaps it's because we fat women are "jolly" and laugh/smile a lot and present ourselves as more friendly and approachable than thinner women. We accept life as it is and we're ok with ourselves. Men are attracted to confidence and smiles. I didn't date for a long time when I got fat thinking no one would want me. Boy was I wrong! Once I started going out again I found out that was a serious misconception. Men love women with meat on their bones. That is a turn on and a confidence builder in itself! Personally I love being me, too much fat and all. I also love being desired by men and know I can have sex any time I want it without fearing rejection.
I'm a bigger girl and I'm married I'm lucky to have sex every 2 weeks so I'm not really sure about this.
I am about eighty pounds overweight and our goal is to make love every day. We don't always make it, but we try and we usually do. I think it's because I want to make sure that my size doesn't stand in the way of what matters so much to him. I initiate it a lot. It boosts my self esteem.
I dont know,im fit i have alot of sex w my fiance,when i put on eight i have less,i dont wnt him looking or touching me.he doesnt care,i do
ITS TRUE,IM A HEAVY WOMAN.AND I WANT SEX ALL THE TIME AND MY HUSBAND GETS WORE OUT. HE CALLS ME A NIMPHOE.ITS THE BEST SEX ALL THE TIME..ANGIE....
