Weight loss and sex

[artiedam]

My husband was always thin but has lost lots of weight through excessive exercise. He’s now under 10 stone and 5ft10
I love him but sex is so painful as he has such minimal body fat can feel every bone. I don’t want to hurt his feelings but I hate feeling like sex is something to tolerate. What would you do

I would tell him, but not at the time.

I would explain that sex is now uncomfortable for you because his bones are digging into you.

While it’s great that he is exercising, it sounds as though he has gone too far.

Change position?

Cover him in bubble wrap.

Maybe try and frame it as you're concerned about him becoming frail when he gets older, he should get more protein and lift weights, put a bit of muscle on. Honestly it does men (and women) the world of good, everyone should do it anyway. Under 10st is crazy skinny, my hubby is 6ft 1 and is around 16st most of the time, he drops to around 15st if he wants to see abs for summer. He has acknowledged he feels he performs better at 16st than 15st but I like that he has body goals and will set out a plan and stick to it.
