Are stretch marks/ tiger marks ugly? Is it a turn off?

So I have stretch marks in between thighs and on both cheeks. Is this a turn off to look at? What are your thoughts?

I've seen some stretch marks on guys biceps and in between their thighs due to muscle which I don't personally mind at all but standards can sometimes differ when pertaining to the opposite sex.

I always feel self conscious especially when I am being intimate and up close with my partner when I have to spread my legs and/or cheeks lol. Or even when wearing a bikini and posting photos online.

  • I’m absolutely fine with it. It’s just a normal part of life and a natural process with the human body. Some women get stretch marks postpartum, while others just have them due to natural fluctuation of weight starting in the teenage years and well into post puberty.

    No one should feel ashamed about it. The body goes through changes for good reason. Just like female breasts over time will develop some sag. To me both ways are equally beautiful. What’s important is that people stop looking to porn and modern fashion as a benchmark for what is considered beautiful. It is not a healthy mindset. True beauty is the body being left alone to be natural and healthy. If a man has a healthy mindset regarding these realities, the woman he is with will know that he loves her and that he sees her as beautiful the way she is

  • Don't stress about it, the realism is that most of the time what attracts a man is the shape of a woman's body am not necessarily how clean it is from markings or scars, if it's not on the face or disfigured her shape, you shouldn't be too worried about how a guy might see it cause truth be told it's your shape your man's is attracted too and those stretch marks are meaningless to how he is attracted to your physical appearance.

    • Even if it’s from gaining more muscle weight?
