Poor Body Image and the Impact on Intimate Relationships
Problems related to how we perceive our own appearance do not affect only adolescents. People with poor body image can take the problem with them throughout their lives. A low level of body satisfaction was associated with introverted behaviour in sexual relationships, sexual anxiety and sexual problems.
Women who were satisfied with their appearance had higher self-esteem, more sexual assertiveness and fewer sexual health problems, even if they were overweight. The secret to their success in the bedroom was all about their confidence in themselves and in feeling beautiful.
