Does porn make any other girls self conscious about their bodies?

In porn, the girls mostly have huge boobs, flat toned stomachs, pert bums....makes me feel like less than beautiful when I think of myself compared to them. I feel ashamed of the cellulite I have, stretch marks...etc. I don't like my boyfriend to see me properly in full light naked, because I know that I am a disappointment compared to the women that men look at online.

Do other girls feel like this?

Lots of the men in porn make me feel self-conscious, with their huge muscles and ten inch cocks :sigh:

I know what you mean but you shouldn't let it get you down. I'm sure your boyfriend can separate the two. You are real and the porn is just a fantasy. It's not a competition.

they do sort off...
and so it's for guyzz...
you see these muscular men banging ladies at any given point....

whatever you see...whether it being porn or anything else...does have an impact on you and make you wanna compare with them...but i really shouldn't matter...
It shouldn't. They're all fake. Obvs. it'd be good if girls tried to get a better body if they realise they don't look too good but don't try to look like porn stars. They're often a bit ew.

The only thing that I envy is how skinny they are, but in a way it can motivate me to lose weight! (even though my bf likes the way I look already)
im not keen on watching porn and im male. The reason being i feel bad seeing men with large penises making women have amazing orgasms, because mine is much smaller.

That's because most women who "orgasm" in porn are pretending.. Don't judge what's real against what's fake or else you'll usually be disappointed.

All i know is i feel like suicide when i compare my penis to a porn stars.
I've never really seen porn, so I go by 'ignorance is bliss' on the whole body image thing. I'm more annoyed at my own genetics than someone elses. lol.

haha aww you guys!!

firstly Anonymous - he doesnt care about the cellulite and the fat or the imperfections. he's not gonna take one look at you and then run in the other direction.. hes about to have SEX! and he's ur bf! so hes probably aware of ur imperfections but doesnt care about them! so DONT worry! we all have cellulite! and fat somewhere or the other. we're normal. plus do u really want GIgantic porno boobies? or a mahoosive ass? :smile:

secondly - about the muscles, if the girl is with u and u dont have muscles most plikely she dosnt care either. about the 10 inch cocks - we dont really expect that out of anyone. its rare. very rare. lol
Nope!
They may have bigger boobs and be slimmer than me but their vaginas probably give KFC bargain buckets a run for their money.

As long as your healthy it doesn't matter, porn is based on fantasy and good camera angles so stop worrying!

How on earth can any girl be jealous of a pornstar's looks? It's like being jealous of a wart hog.

Girls should feel happy and empowered by seeing their boyfriends watching porn, safe in the knowledge that it would take 10 years of failed suicide attempts and jackhammering for them to look anywhere near that dogrough.

There's an interesting study that has been published in a book called The Porn Report, by some Australian psychologists (I forget their names :colondollar:); it deals with what kind of people watch porn, what people like from porn, what people expect from porn, why people like porn, etc.

It found that as many women as men watched porn and that women tended to be pickier about what was in it. For example, a survey of men were asked about what they liked to see in terms of breasts and most guys weren't worried about size: so long as there were boobs there, they were happy. Contrastingly, most of the women interviewed said that they vastly preferred porn that featured big penises.

So, if this is the case with your man, then I wouldn't have thought you need to worry about what he thinks; surely, he's just happy that you are there, no matter what you look like, especially as he's stuck with you even though he's seen you and can compare you.

If anyone's wondering why I know so much about The Porn Report, the writers were on a radio show I like. :biggrin:
Girls in porn are 90% ugly.

I'd love to have sex with you, just so you could analyse everything I do and come up with a reason for it :|
Surely it's not overly different from reading a celebrity filled magazine? Sure they may not have as big boobs, but generally their figure will be much more "perfect"/"desirable" etc than the average girl.
I know there are women with better figures than my own, but I'm not perfect- I don't eat chicken and steamed veg all day and hit the gym all the time, so fair enough!
