We are at our sexiest when we feel the most confident. We are at our least attractive when we are sure of our inadequacies and practically cave in on ourselves to conceal them. No matter how incredible your lover swears you look, there is no way you’re getting hot and bothered when you feel fatter than the manatee they found in the Hudson River. We all handicap ourselves with insecurity, and it’s up to us to reset the self-worth scale and alter the message we send out into the world.
