anoSEXYa? Some pro-anas think so.
I must say that I rarely felt “sexy” when I was anorexic. Maybe late at night when I was checking out my hip bones in the mirror, but other than that, I usually felt that I was still too far from my “goal weight” to feel super attractive.
However, with the proliferation of hundreds of pro-ana sites and thinspiration YouTube vids, it seems as if many, many anorexics (and bulimics) promote themselves — and others who have BMIs under 18.5 – as objects of sexual desire.
What I wonder is if the majority of guys find these emaciated ladies inviting? I’m going to assume that some do, but I know few men of this caliber. Most I have spoken with like a little “meat” on their bones.
To investigate, I’d like to ask the readers of Scott’s blog, Health and Men, to tell us what you like to see in a woman’s body.
Don’t be shy — if you love anorexic ladies, say so and tell us why. If you want more “cushion” in your significant other, say that, too. It’s an open forum. (Be tasteful, though — at least a little!)

I’ve always found the “heroin chic” too-skinny look incredibly disturbing. While every guy is entitled to his own opinion, I would think that the vast majority would opt for the “healthy” look; i.e. not overweight and not underweight.

Speaking of heroin chic, Amy winehouse is one of those. She’s groteque from the drugs and tattoo’d arms on a woman is a big turn off for me.

Joey & Scott:
Heroin chic is disturbing. I’d like to think the trend has waned, but I know there are some sectors that still view it as cool.
As far as Ms. Winehouse is concerned, I fully expect to see her obituary one of these days. Her voice is great, but her mental health is absolutely horrendous. It’s definitely kind of sad.
