About this session
Format: Discussion
Our bodies and how we feel about them can change throughout our lives. These changes can influence our confidence, how we experience attraction and how comfortable we feel being intimate with others.
In this session, we'll explore body image, desire, attraction and what it means to feel good about ourselves. We'll share experiences of how our relationship with our bodies may have changed over time, and what helps us feel confident, desirable and comfortable in our own skin.
- How have your feelings about your body changed over time?
- What makes you feel attractive, confident or desirable?
- What helps you feel more comfortable and accepting of your body?
Come along for an open and supportive conversation with other gay, bi and trans men aged 40+. Share as much or as little as you like, there's no right or wrong way to feel about your body.
