Watching last night’s episode of ‘Mad Men’, I had to admit that Christina Hendricks, playing Joan Harris, is ‘all woman’. 

It was great looking at this voluptuous, curvacous deeply sensual woman on-screen, on the same day that I received a love note about my own body from a very sexy man, one intimately involved in my own battles with body image.

Reviewing his comments, I cannot print them. He knows that I have been dieting again, insuring that I look my best size-8 self, hardly making me a skinny girl. I did express to him my desire to perhaps become a size 6, and this is what raised flags in his mind about our future.

My friend (who can buy and sell us all; I must add that fact) said that when a high libido-guy looks at a woman like Christina Hendricks, he sees her own sensual appetite and lust for him. Her frailty or lack of it impacts his own ardor in lovemaking.

My friend assured me that my health and wellbeing are his primary concerns, but so is my sexual vitality. Curves like the ones worn by Christina Hendricks say ‘let’s be sexual’ and ‘you don’t need to worry about breaking me.’
