[...] Then while I was tooling *snicker* around the blogosphere, I found Anna’s post at Eat the Damn Cake. Oh my lovelies, her acceptance of herself and her sexuality gives me goosebumps. Do yourself and your body a favor and read SEX ON THE BATTLE FIELD. [...]

Anna – I love your words! And your philosophy! Your journey has inspired me greatly. I believe I’m falling more and more in love/lust with you every time I read a post. (in a respectful and non-stalking manner, of course!) You’re my hero. Promise me you will always write and inspire us. xo

I absolutely love this. Anna, your writing is beautiful. Your word crafting is intelligent without being too wordy. Your ability to paint a picture of your body, your emotions, your growth (no pun intended!), and your comfort took me on a verbal journey with you, causing stirrings in my heart that reminded me of my own sometimes painful journey with sexuality and my body. I have been struggling with my weight for some time, and recently realized that I wish to take better care of my self because I love myself, not because I hate myself. Before I read this, I hadn’t connected the confidence I sometimes have with the beauty that my body contains in its most intimate moments; now I’m more acutely aware of that, and inspired to embrace it. Thank you!

Bless you, Anna. Thank you for this perspective. I am nearly 39 years old, and I still haven’t stopped raging against myself. I am beginning to realize all the moments and pleasure I have denied myself. My husband thinks I’m crazy. He always wants to be adventurous and try something new when it comes to intimacy. My foolish answer to him is always “we’ll try it when I’m sexy.” All he can do is shake his head. I have to stop, appreciate what my body can do and how beautiful it is (we are ALL beautiful), and enjoy. Thank you again.

“I also want women to enjoy sex and their bodies now – not deferring it until sometime in the future when they feel slim/beautiful/sexy/worthy enough”

This. Yes. So much. So often we’re so focused on changing our bodies, and how we’ll feel after the change, and how much more we’ll love our “new” future body that we forget that loving the NOW and celebrating that is just as important.

Thanks Kate for inviting me onto your amazing blog. And thanks for the comments Morgaine, Melanie and Phil. I’ve always loved Betty Dodson’s idea of having a “love affair” with ourselves: a love affair that can last a lifetime. Partners may come and go, but I can have a relationship with my body for my entire life. I choose to make that a happy relationship! x
