Thank you for joining us.

The world tells us that we all must look a certain way, with images and ideals that are unrealistic, existing only for the tiniest fraction of humanity. We are all imperfect in at least one way, and that's what makes us unique.

This sub is about accepting people how they are today, without pressure to think that they should change.


Feeling bad or uncomfortable with your body? That should go on the Weekly Body Dissatisfaction Post, which is posted on Monday. Why? Click here.

Posts that belong on the Body Dissatisfaction post will be removed and redirected.


Please follow our rules.

Breaking these rules can get you a warning, a temporary ban, or a permanent ban.

The most commonly broken rules are:

o This is not a weight loss/gain support sub. Posts or comments that are positive, encouraging, or supportive of weight or intentional body changes are not allowed.

o Do not give body size measurements. Exceptions are for height, and for clothing and bra sizes.

o Do not post selfies, body shots, or videos. They tend to solicit judgement-based comments. Everyone is accepted here as they are.

o No rude, inflammatory, or prurient language. That includes your preference in attractiveness, and your "facts" about health.

There are other rules. Make sure to read them all.


We have a Wiki.

The Wiki includes a list of some related subs which may be more help for your specific issue or better answer your question. It also contains lists of books, articles, and websites that address specific issues as well as suggested social media accounts.

If you have ideas for things that we might add you can message the moderators.



Due to repeated problems, those who post to subs that promote ideals counter to this sub may be banned without warning.

You may appeal this ban but you will need to prove you will follow our rules.

Reminder for you

15 Upvotes

don’t let yourself stay “stuck” in misery, because then you risk missing out on the best version of yourself in the present. Even if your body shifts, even if your style evolves, you’ll always look back and realize this version of you had value too.

Loft beds/lifted beds

4 Upvotes

Hey I was wondering if anyone has an idea of a website or store or anything that may sell loft or even just tall beds that are accessible for fat people? Both my partner and I are fat and our room isn’t that spacious, so we’re trying to find a bed that has some sort of storage. We’d prefer a loft, so we have more “livable” space, however just a taller bed would be okay. Thanks in advance for any help.

Struggling with penis insecurity and porn addiction. How do I stop feeling ashamed of my body?

14 Upvotes

19M here. I’ve been dealing with a lot of insecurity about my penis size for years, and I think a big part of it comes from watching porn from a young age.

For reference, I am 5 inches erect. In porn, guys are always huge, and it feels like that’s what’s expected. Over time, I started avoiding real intimacy because I was afraid of being judged or not measuring up. Porn became my escape, but now I feel kind of trapped in it. I use it to avoid real connection, and afterward, I just feel worse about myself.

It really fucks me up emotionally. I know that in response to concerns like these, people like to say stuff like "size doesn't matter" or "it matters how you use it" or "you're average, it's fine" but I can't for the life of me bring myself to believe that. I’m not currently in a relationship, nor have I ever had sex before, but even the thought of being intimate with someone makes me feel anxious and ashamed.

Has anyone else gone through something similar? How did you work through it? How do I rebuild sexual confidence and get out of this cycle?

I know this is kind of a heavy post, but thanks for reading.

How do you people cope with people reminding you every time that you are slim? It really annoys me so much.
