Too skinny for sex?

Question

I recently went from 130 lbs to 115 lbs by changing my diet to get "healthier". Last night after having sex with my partner, he said my pelvic bone was hurting him so he didn't enjoy it. He also hates that my ribs, hip bones and spine shows. I'm 5'3 so idk why I look bony since I know other women are smaller than me but can pull it off. Has anyone ever GAINED weight to make sex more comfortable?

Answer

If you like that way you look then stay that way. :) As for it being uncomfortable try different positions.

Answer

If your ribs and backbone are showing a lot, I'd definitely say you're not very healthy weight wise. Every woman's body is different so what may look great on someone who's the same height as you, may look extremely too thin on you. There's nothing wrong with being tiny, but losing weight doesn't always mean healthy. Eating protein and healthy foods and exercising is what makes someone healthy 😊

Answer

If your bones are showing, you probably aren't very healthy. For example, if you fall, you are much more likely to break bones. Being healthy doesn't always lead to weight loss! You can eat healthy and still gain weight, by eating lots of protein, and a good amount of carbs, along with healthy amounts of the other food groups. But if you are happy with yourself, you do you!

Answer

I’m 5’3 and my weight is normally between 130-140, I look my best in my opinion at 130.  I had an ulcer and got down to 120 and I looked like a skeleton and very unhealthy!  Only 10-20 lbs made that much of a difference! It goes to show how different bone structures should be different weights you shouldn’t always follow those charts.

Answer

At that height and weight, you're technically at a healthy BMI but if your bones are showing, that's not a good sign, I would first consult a doctor (if you haven't already) to make sure the weight you're losing, and how you're losing it, is in a healthy manner, and then worry about the sex later

Answer

If your ribs, hip bones and spine are showing, it sounds unhealthy.  I would go to a doctor and ask their opinion. Do you count calories? If so, how many calories are you eating a day?

Answer

I am your height.
I can honestly say from experience, you should gain a little back.
I had anorexia for a while and my weight has varied anywhere from 83 to 130.
I can see my ribs at 115. Which is not good. Currently I am 125. Weight restored and loving how I look (finally!) 
Gain some weight back. You can always turn it into muscle! Just be healthy, love.

Answer

I gained weight because I wanted to and my SO said sex did become more comfortable. When I weigh less I do become a little bit bony, they middle ground seems to be if I put on a bit of muscle so I look leaner but still have some meat on me.
