Skin Deep

Dear Unsure,
You have come to the right place, because I have solved the problem of cellulite-ridden thighs and buttocks! My solution has been not to look at myself in a three-way mirror from behind for the past 10 years. I have no idea what?s going on back there. I?ll share another secret with you: Be grateful you?re not complaining to me that your wife has turned into an elephant seal, one who won?t have sex with you. Almost every woman has cellulite, the degree to which is partially genetic. I grew up near where the Boston Marathon is run, and one gratifying thing about going to cheer on the participants was seeing that even some women who run marathons have cellulite. It would be a relief for both of you if instead of covering herself in shame your wife could joke, ?Do my thighs make you think of Pebble Beach?? But since she is uncomfortable about this, I think you should gently bring it up. Try not to mention the phrases ?turnoff? and ?deal killer.? Instead, say something like: ?Sweetheart, I get the feeling you?re self-conscious about your thighs. You shouldn?t be. I hope you know you look incredible.? You?ll notice I skipped over your suggestion for getting her treatment for this totally normal condition. That?s because while there are plenty of treatments available, there is no guaranteed safe and effective one. In the years you and your wife have been together, perhaps your own hairline and waistline have shifted. But she?s probably done you the favor of accepting that while you?ve inevitably changed, you still look good to her. Instead of trying to fix her, embracing her, thighs and all, might make her feel more comfortable about her body, and that should turn both of you on.
