A Discussion On Curves With My Lover Olivia

This is taken from a chat between Olivia and me, whom I've blogged on many times in the past and will once again tomorrow, discussing our thoughts and theories on the subtlties surrounding why there's the struggle our culture and the world has with women with hourglass figures and curves, particularly big butt and little waist, big breasts as well. Some stuff here I haven't seen written anywhere else.
me: longkiss
Olivia: Babe!
me: :D
Olivia: Come over and make me come, dammit
I'm in bed :)
me: ohhhhh fuck that's an amazing text
sounds like something id think and not say
Olivia: I wanna undress you like I always do and guide your face to my pussy
me: nice line! mmm...
i wanna keep tongue spinning while long-faux-cock churns down deep in your cunt.
Olivia: fuuuuuuuuck
I keep playing with the butterfly and it makes me randy for you.
me: good...
lmk when you have time for supah-hot dalliance
Olivia: lol
me: and, can you believe Nike made an ad like this?
Olivia: supah-hot dalliance? so poetic at 8:30 AM
me: im telling you, there's a conspiracy against big hot ass
everytime i read about big ass, the woman with it is defending hers. Kim Kardashian, etc.
gonna blog on that
i think why that is it's a multi-layered web of reasons why.
Olivia: Well there's so many stigmas associated with a big ass
and it's hard for women to embrace it, even when they like it, because you NEVER see it
so it doesn't make them feel validated
I feel that way sometimes...
I love my body...but I do have a love/hate relationship with my ass sometimes
First and foremost, because NO ONE makes clothes that fit me
although that's starting to change slowly
me: i think on one level, it is a greater sexual image than big breasts for men. on a primal level. the little waist big butt ratio. and that's been proven in anthro studies. I think it's possible that women who dont have them, on a strictly mate attraction level of competition, envy women who do. So they attack them. "They're not hot, they're fat." etc.
Olivia: Hmmm
that's interesting
me: b/c i have to wonder, why are women with little butts attacking women with curves so often?
why do they care?
That's why. And the generalized competition to be the prettiest in the room thing.
Olivia: I wonder why it has that effect on men? do you know? I get the breast thing being primal...but how is the ass thing primal?
me: well, science equates the two together, thoretically. That they both, when hot and round, have cleavage
so they mirror each other if her breast cleavage is showing
Olivia: oh, ok, that makes sense
me: That's a Desmond Morris theory.
Olivia: Well I've never witnessed this butt hate from women that you speak of
me: and breasts are not the main physical lust point of most men in most cultures. not the greatest hotspot. Across all cultures, her ass is.
oh i have. "her butt is soooo BIG!"
yadda, yadda, insert nasty comment here
Olivia: Most women don't target the ass when talking shit....if they see someone with an ass or with breasts then they just call her FAT
me: that's true too
Olivia: That's the most creative and most deadly of insults most women can come up with
but I've never heard a woman specifically pinpoint the ass like that.
Just my personal experience
me: they would never say it like that
but that's pseudo-subconsciously why
because,
how many times have they been with their men and seen their men oggle a hourglass-bodied, vah-vah-voom woman?
Olivia: lol that's true
me: or oggle their hourglass-body friends while growing up?
there is an attention given to those women that they arent getting
and feminine ego is inward based. anything that makes attention go to another woman is jealousy time
basic primitive feminine ego, i mean.
Olivia: But interestingly enough, EVERYTHING in our society says that our bodies should be like these skinny stick women
EVERYTHING
me: which i saw another researcher out there talk about recently
my theory
Olivia: quite the conundrum
me: that's a different thing. That's fashion stuff.
Olivia: But we're a fashion magazine driven society, so it's more than fashion
All actress' have the same body
they just can't be models because they aren't tall enough
lol
me: right, and if you have an ass/boobs and an hourglass, you're a porn star or underwear model (sometimes)
Olivia: exactly
me: I looked on the net for curvy women pics and over and over again, I see study results coming back saying the majority of men prefer curves and sizes larger than 10.
Another thing. If people say I'm wrong about curvy = sex, ask a minister or priest etc to view two pictures, one with a voluptuous woman and one skinny. I wonder which one he is more interested in censoring.
i think also
Olivia: OR you're labeled as being COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR BODY or CURVY
aka FAT
Olivia: It's fucking HILARIOUS that women like the Ugly Betty Actress and Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian are labelled as curvy
Olivia: They're all tiny
me: curvy for me was always the most positive word i heard. No, curvacious.
curvacious was always positive.
curvy could be a back handed compliment
or a genuine one
Olivia: that's the most positive,but it also has a stigma, in my opinion
me: yeah. it means sex.
cious = delicious
Olivia: why the fuck do I need to describe myself like that? do skinny women desribe themselves as bony or straight?
wtf?
me: exactly
beanpole
that's the attack on no hips
that you don't have - feminine atrributes
Olivia: i have to say, it works on the opposite side of the spectrum too
me: attributes
Olivia: skinny women get the same shit on the other side...and people tell them they're skinny and act like it isn't insulting
but it is to them
when that's their natural body type
"You're so skinny! And you eat!"
me: that can come from people jealous of their fitness.
Olivia: and etc
me: or metabolism
Olivia: I'm not talking about fitness
I'm talking about skinny
me: ah, like bony
Olivia: there are shit tons of skinny people who are far from fit and eat shit
me: right
i also know the camera adds 10 pounds thing
Olivia: But yes, people associate them with being fit and healthy just because they look a certain way
me: there's another theory im crafting
on the male side
no man has ever mentioned this
that i recall
i felt it with you here and there. it just flashes for a second... and have felt it in the past
there is a moment when a feeling goes through me that says, "can you handle that ass?"
esp in doggy style
it's like, it's too good.
Olivia: I mean, I don't think size 6 or 8 is fat aka I dont think I'm fat, but people comment on my eating a lot..."Wow, you eat so healthy!" and etc. as if just because I have boobs and an ass that it means I don't eat healthy
that's fucked up
me: and are you able, with your dick size, hand size, body size, able to work that big round hot sex goddess ass. That’s where we get that, “Are you man enough for this?” It reminds me of what they said in the Starsky and Hutch remake: "Couldn't handle the V8..." My strong attraction for that body is way more powerful than the intimidation, and, I also have moments where, for example, I'm holding your big firm ass open for my cock, and to make you feel open and vulnerable, and it's more challenging to hold that secure than in thin women. For me the challenge is hot. Gives me an excuse to be a rougher and it won't be too much for her.
yeah i hear you
i have never felt that, the big ass sex goddess, superlust and momentary intimidation feeling, with a woman with a small ass.
i've always felt, yeah, she's smaller than me, i can dominate that little ass. So do men pick that, among other reasons like having a strong lust for girl-looking bodies, because they dont want to risk humiliation?
It's easier to assert fuck-aggression/dominance mid-fuck
so if you arent a really huge physique guy
which is what men are pressured to be, as a counterpart to women being bombshells
you may start feeling like you aren't man enough
Olivia: I agree with that....
me: and that her ass is proving it
that she needs a man bigger than you
Olivia: there's a guy at work....a friend of mine...he's tall and REALLY thin
so is his gf
but he is pretty enthralled with my body...not in a creepy way...but he's made comments about how I'm volumptious and etc and I know he's thinking...could I handle that? lol
me: so you think he's thinking that
Olivia: I know he's thinking that
Olivia: And you know me well enough to know that I don't think every guy I meet is obsessed with me
me: yeah
Olivia: But I feel the energy
He's not inappropriate or anything or even flirty
but I just sense it
me: yup. That's when you get into the major sexual gender roles. big muslces, 7 foot guy, big ass on her, little waist, flat stomach, big breasts, big long cock on him, all that stuff
so what happens when someone, female or male, doesnt have that?
that idealized sexual scenario? (we see it played out in comic books and video games all the time)
Olivia: some people really work it out
but some people can't
I don't have a preference for height
in the opposite sex
but I have to say my first thought with a really slender guy would be that I would break him
and that's just me being honest
I don't think that's true
but it's my first instinct
me: yeah. not that you would do anything to do that, but, yeah.
Olivia: okay...i need to get going....but I still wish you were in bed with me right now
me: me too. so I can own that perfect built for sex ass
Olivia: :) kisses
me: :) kisses back. back to the bench to create more ownage potential ;)
Olivia: have a good day
xoxo
me: you too, baby xoxoxox

Here's a comment from my
Here's a comment from my Facebook page on this blog post: Interesting early morning chat! I've dealt with some of these same issues. I've always viewed the small waist, big hips/butt as uber-feminine. This has always led to some personal distress because i have neither. Nor do i have large, pendulous breasts that denote a mother's nurture. No, i wasn't blessed with what science tells is what men want. And yet... and yet... i've found many a man who enjoyed me just as i am. As you mentioned with Olivia and her ass being a "challenge" perhaps my figure has posed a similar "am i man enough" challenge to some of those i've been with. I am not small or diminutive....i look 6ft tall men in the eye, and have been told by more than one person that my presence alone is intimidating. What I have found over the years, is that "built"(for lack of a better term) guys tend to find my amazon stature threatening to their masculinity. And so smaller guys, both in height and weight, have been my more likely suitors. Perhaps these others think i may insist upon being in control, and know that i might just win if a battle ensued. Who knows, but i can tell you this.... it is lovely to be with someone who appreciates a woman of size, and whom i don't feel like a sideshow freak next to. My husband is a hair taller and athletically built (so, just my type)... See More I truly wish that we could get to a point in society where we accept that bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. For as surely as i envied those delicious women with tiny waists and full hips, they were cursing their tendency to carry fat at their hips and thighs, and were envying my legs. Guess the grass is always greener.
Here's what I said in
Here's what I said in response to that comment: it's interesting that you've found the big guys arent interested in the big girls. As in almost everything in sex, diff people want diff things, but maybe they enjoy a magnification of how big and awesome he is in comparison to her body frame and that makes the psychological game of me godly tarzan you little helpless Jane more intense. Also, the whole pick her up and sex her against a wall, or holding her in midair, is a very dramatic psychological statement and if you aren't 120 or less, then it's obviously harder to pull that off if you or the guy really wants to do that. Many of us are very focused on psychological stimulation and scenarios more so than physical body pleasure. I mean, picking someone up and having sex, on a genital sensation level, is no different from laying down unless it gives you an angle to create a body pleasure you cant get without it. It's that helpless he's so powerful psychological stuff. We all have our sexual superpowers. Big and small.
yes. Finding what is
yes. Finding what is uniquely and intensely erotic in different body types is one of the things I treasure most about having multiple lovers and I hope they get to enjoy in other men and women too. That as opposed to the typical societal simplified point of view where only this body or that body is at the top of the mountain and all others are ... See Moreless-than. Which creates a lot of the angst. If you have a body type youre attracted to and not others, that's fine. It's when people who have that attack those who dont have that type that I have an issue with.
Grass-is-always-greener-itis
This text conversion is very deep, and broad, for the a.m. hours! As evidenced in several of your blogs, you and Olivia seem to have the morning thing down pat.
My thoughts on your conversation….
Firstly, women can be very insecure about our physical appearance, regardless of our outward composure/confidence. We need lots of verbal, and physical, demonstrations from our lovers to counteract this. This kind of positive attention never goes unrewarded!
Secondly, amongst women, the-dreaded “grass-is-always-greener-itis” disease is prevalent when it comes to our bodies (and our hair.) We also tend to suffer disproportionately from “passive-aggressive-tosis” whereby we feel better about ourselves if we make another women feel somehow physically lacking.
Finally, if that tall, skinny guy in Olivia’s official has used the word “voluptuous” when talking with her, he most definitely is flirting with her
. If she’s feeling his energy, I wonder if it’s not only in response to her body style, but in large part, a response to her confident sensuality that she naturally puts out…if your blogs are any indication.
I bet that kind of confidence trumps body style every time.
very interesting.
interesting read. I have to say.. I love a pear-shaped woman.. small perky tits.. thin waist.. and wide hips. It doesn't need to be an enormous ass.. though..
I have to admit even further though... I don't JUST like pear-shaped women.. I really think most shapes of women are capable of being attractive.. depends so much on just how the individual woman works it... confidence is really so much more than shape.

Great Discussion
Loving this very thoughtful topic. So much I'd like to comment on - but I'll try and keep it short. First - I totally agree with Olivia when she says that when she meets a skinny guy, and is thinking of him in a sexual context, she wonders if she would break him. As a big booty girl, myself, I've had that fear also. Also, you're right - the grass is always greener on the other side. I really wish my legs and arms were thinner, but I wouldn't trade my waist to hip ratio for the world! Although, it does make buying jeans that fit extremely difficult. Seriously. Hello Levis - get a clue!
