Pantie shots (Yes or no?)
I have had to ask myself lately why I am on bodybuilding.com. The conclusion I have come to is that I love the encouragement and motivation. The attention is wonderful. However, it is not something I need. I am lucky to have a wonderful husband who loves me at any stage of my development. I do however, love the shared passion for lifting and growing muscles.
Why is it so easy to get caught up in the panty shots? Why do people who are married sell their bodies for free on here? Are we that desperate for attention? Do we want people to fantasize about having sex with us? Personally I think muscles are beautiful on a man or woman. Like a peace of artwork to be admired and awed over. I am proud of each fat % that I can drop, and each pound of muscle that I can gain. It comes with sweat and at times pain. I find power, determination, fulfillment and satisfaction at the completion of goals.
So I just want to say thank you for all the support and friendships. I am sorry if I will disappoint with my lack of blatently provocative pictures. I am toning the world down in my corner and focusing on the purity of strength and beauty of muscles. I don’t have anything against the pantie shot! Just against me doing them, lol…

Thats cool. There is no need to show it all. Just hooking us up with progress every now and everyones happy. Good luck.

Have to respect that! It is obvious when you go to a profile that is about sexiness moreso than fitness. I have nothing against sexiness, it is just not why I’m on THIS site.
Kudos!!

There is class and there is ass.
You made the right choice.

This place is great for encouragement as you can see. Glad to see you made the right decision and as a married man I often wondered myself why married people sell their bodies out on here. It must be a confidence (or lack there of) thing. Congrats on your strength and confidence and good luck.

But I’ve been glued to my screen just waiting for one shot! Lol, good for you.

You are absolutely right. Not only do i think it is disrespectful as a married woman. i can not understand what a booty shot or a shot with someone bent over in panties has to do with showing "Bodybuilding" progress. Shows alot of insecurities when someone needs that negative attention. great comment.

You are a true fitness lover. I love the honesty.

I love this post Sonya! It’s people like yourself that should be bursting through to "Top Profile" status. Not that you are looking for bb.com celebrity status but this is what it’s all about in my book.
The best part about this site is reading the stories, seeing the transformations, getting/giving encouragement, and utilizing the tools given to see your own progress.
The worst part about the site is maintaining your own personal level of integrity as you peruse the site, trying to avoid the "attention whores", maintaining a proper balance away from vanity and more toward proud accomplishment in your own transformation. You don’t need bent over panty shots or strategically placed hands on half naked shots to see that you are a beutiful woman who has accomplished much and I’m am sure your husband is proud to call you his wife!
Great Job! Blessings to you and yours!

HA HA, good for you. This is suppose to be a body buidling site, and some people think it’s a "hey, let me put a camera up my rear" site.
Like most guys, I enjoy looking at a pretty woman, but I’d like to be able to come on this site and not worry if my kids look over my shoulder.

Well personally, when i first started working out and lost weight i noticed i got a lot more attention, and to be honest i loved it and still do. But with all the attention, i do know that its strictly a surface interest. As for showing body shots, i feel there’s nothing wrong with it, as long as there’s some class to go along with it.

I agree with JFLex with the class aspect. There are alot of WEIRDOS unfortunately on the internet. I believe you already know what best for you. As a husband, I would provide the support as well but make sure the pictures remain classy and have my name on them…LOL. MR and MRS BODYBUILDER!!! I would get in all the shots…lol. Thats just me…thats a shout out to your husband…EAT CLEAN, LIFT HARD…BE FABOLOUS!!!
