While I don’t always agree with him by any means, I’d certainly urge reading of this Mike Rosen article <\/a>about how guys really like hips and thighs with a bit (or more) of substance to them.<\/p>\n

A woman’s body can be a thing of beauty. What makes it so are the curves, the bulges, the roundness, the softness. To the casual observer, there’s not a lot of difference between male and female human skeletons — and neither are much of a turn-on. Flesh is a good thing, and so’s a little fat, if not overdone. When was the last time you heard the term “voluptuous”? Lean is OK for pastrami, but it can be taken to entirely unappealing extremes when it comes to the female form. Marathon runners may be efficient but they’re not sexy.<\/p>\n
