I don’t think smoking is healthy but realistically you don’t see that happening in movies now. I’m overweight and I don’t think it should be celebrated sorry. Big wake up call for me was when an elderly woman tried to give her seat up for me on the tube because she thought I was pregnant.
this isn’t about people who have medical issues etc,
Showing actors who are plump or fat having sex is not celebrating them!
People who are overweight should be allowed to have sex and relationships with the same acceptance that thin/slim/fit people are afforded. Or should we all hide our grotesque bodies and deny ourself love and sex until we fit the ideal? It’s such a shaming, ugly mentality.
Many of us feel enough shame as it is. We don’t need other people to tell us we are not as attractive to the masses as a slim person. That people will not want to shag us. Incidentally we also do not need to be told we have put on weight either.
We already know.
SMH. A bit of acceptance in the media would be nice. I think it is a positive thing that they did that sex scene. Even though it was bloody terrible.
Shame does not motivate change. This has been proved in studies again and again. Shaming behaviour is now in the DSM (
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) as an indicator of decreased wellbeing and mental/physical health. That is how unhealthy and damaging it is to people.
