Supporting our Sexuality

I've long held the opinion that fat oppression's most painful aspect is our diminished confidence in our ability to attract someone and fall in love, have a happy married life, and all the other joys of romance. Our media, with few exceptions, portrays only thin, conventionally beautiful people enjoying love and romance, and an active sex life. The following books support us in reclaiming that part of our life.
