Oh, I wish you'd allowed multiple choices in this poll. Yes, I definitely do it to show off. But there are other reasons besides that.
Out in the "real" world, I don't get to be provocative. I'm too busy being professional, or discouraging unwanted interest. I try not to be too sexy, because I don't want it to seem as if I'm promising something I won't deliver. But that can leave a woman feeling pretty "blah," especially one my age. Here, it's pretty safe to be sexy. Posting pictures doesn't mean you're promising anybody anything, and I've learned here that people don't think I'm "blah." It's been a huge boost to my confidence...I was starting to feel old.
On TV, in movies, and seemingly everywhere in the popular media, the "ideal" female body is scary-thin. But until the last few decades, the ideal female body was curvy, which is my natural shape! For years, I tried to fight it. In my twenties, I dieted down to twenty pounds less than you see in my pics on this site and stayed that way for a long while. I beat the shit out of my body exercising all the time. I always felt hungry, and I had no boobs.:frown1: In the end, nature won out. I finally learned to accept and love my shape, but knowing that other people here accept and love it is great, too.
I also really enjoy looking at the other women on this site. I won't try to name all my favorites because I'll forget some, but there are a number of very beautiful, real women here who are incredibly sexy (and smart, and fun, and just genuinely good people)! :hug:
Finally, I'll admit something other people might not...I like the idea that people I don't even know are are getting enjoyment out of me. If someone likes looking at me, and it makes his or her day better, then I'm glad to have shared. I received a PM a while back from a couple who had made love after looking at some of my pics. Now that's cool! :smile:
