(Note: I did a search and although there were a few threads about stretch marks, none either went for the topic I desired or there were not enough responses. I am also putting this in sexuality instead of Ladies' Lounge because I would like some guy input here.)

Okay, so let me get real with all my TFPer's for a second: I am covered with stretch marks. It's not rare for someone to have them after severe weight loss (I've had 2 kids... with my second, I got up to 220lbs, then lost most of it almost immediately). It's common for them to be on the back of the arms, thighs, and breasts. Even a few on the stomach are acceptable. My problem is that my stomach is BAD. I also have them on the area above my vagina (Hmmm... pelvis?) and my hips.

Now, you may be thinking... "What stretch marks? I've seen those pictures!" But, if you think about it, I don't really take pictures of my stomach, and if I do, it's more than likely blurry, and that's the only reason why I posted it.

Anyways, so I'm sitting here thinking about what I'm going to do the next time I'm having sex with a guy. I'm not keen on putting it all out there... it's ugly! I also know that there are some guys out there that are going to be like... ew. Normally, I just have sex in the dark. Honestly, I really can't remember the last time I had sex with any kind of light around... But, this isn't going to work forever. I need to be able to get comfortable with myself like this and find me a man who is also comfortable with me like this.

So, here's the part where you come in. Tell me your opinions on the subject. Ladies: Have you encountered this problem? Have you met a guy and he saw your stretch marks and had a reaction, good or bad?

Men: What are your feelings on this? Have you ever met a woman with stretch marks and it changed your mind about her? What would you do if you DID meet a woman with a crap load of stretch marks? Would it affect you in any way?

(:

(Pardon the rambling, by the way.)
