do men mind stretch marks? 18 year old needs to kn

[Guest]

Hi I am in a situation where I would really like to be physical with guys but I don't let myself becuase I am afraid that they will be revolted by my strectch marks. My marks are on my ass, thy's (inner and outer) and breasts. They are very light and I can wear a swim suit and stuff like that without anyone noticing(unless they were really looking). My fear is that in the bedroom or wherever a guy will notice them and be really turned off. I could really use some advice. Should I warn guys about them first or are most men just happy to be seeing some action?
Thanks in advance, sad and frustrated 18 year old.

they wont notice them i promise you, and if they did point them out they are an ass anyway and you should dump them. men get stretch marks where you have described too so possible he may have them too! i have the exact same stretch marks you describe and my bf can not get enough of me so i promise you they are nothing to worry about. count yourself lucky- if stretch marks are the most you have to worry about your one lucky gal!

Does it really matter? Are you willing to go the rest of your life without being intimate because you are not comfortable with your body? They haven't discovered a cure for stretch marks or cellulite so are you gonna wait til they do?

If a man loves you...he will love all of you.

No
Absolutely not - you can put that one out of your mind immediately.

It's part of you, part of what makes you unique, and it's well sexy that you get to see your partners private areas (Meaning anyhere they don't usually display to just anyone).

TBH it's doubtful anyone would even notice them (You do cos you're self conscious about them).

Guest - you have absolutely NOTHING to worry about!

Ummm, I really cant see the logic in this question. Maybe its because I am old fashioned. One one hand, if a guy sees you naked and the stretch marks offend him, then he is shallow and just in it to get laid anyway, so why do you care. On the other hand, if you are having sex with someone who loves you with his heart and not his penis, then he wont mind something as simple and common as stretch marks anyway.

If you are having sex with someone who loves you, it is a win / win situation for you and the question is academic.

Hi, this post caught my eye because i am also around your age (i am 20) and i have stretch marks where i lost alot of weight a couple of years back.
Let me assure you that while they are extremely obvious to your eye, a guy who is turned on enough to make a move to sleep with you will not give a damn about stretch marks, i'm sure he'll be concentrating on other things and won't notice.
In general don't worry too much about your inhibitions. It has taken me 4 years to realise that while to my eye i might be a little overweight, have a few stretch marks etc at the end of the day if you lose your inhibitions with yourself when you are intimate it will be a far better experience all round. At first you might be really self concious but seriously just concentrate on the matter in hand and you'll be fine.

if or when i got lucky enough to get that close to a lady then that was one of the last things on my mind. you have nothing to fear.

Thank you all so much for your replies! You have made me feel soooooo much better. I really can't thank you all enough.
You all rock. Thanks again, a very grateful 18 year old.

I know the stretch marks wouldn't bother me.

If some guy DOES have a (major?) problem with them, you do NOT want to invite him into your life anyway. I know of several young landies who have them...

And I consider those girls... GORGEOUS, beautiful pieces of womanhood.

Just make sure you find a guy who DOES appreciate you, for what you are.

all i can say is that if they are faint enough then he wont notice but i think they are a HUGE turn on i only wish i could find a girl like you!

That's an awesome post. Exactly what I think. I'm in the same situation, 18 with them in the same places, but noone has ever said anything about them, and to be honest, I don't think they would've noticed, it's only me who scruitinises over every inch of my body.

Look.. no offence but women just worry too much about that their looks even when their so sexy.. and hey you lost weight.. that's REALLY hard... I know (I've been trying to drop down for a while).. just be proud of that and your body.

men can get stretch marks too so im sure they wouldnt be worried about yours!
