I am sexy because…

Sexy because… That is the prompt on Sinful Sunday this month. Yes I write the prompts so you would have thought I would have my posts all planned out, sometimes that is the case but often times I use a prompt because I think it could be interesting or challenging to myself and the other bloggers who join in. At the time of writing that prompt, which would be have been in October last year it felt like just a playful, almost light-hearted prompt that would be fairly easy. After all there are many things that are sexy and for all sorts of reasons. Taking an image inspired by such a thought should be easy.

And it probably could have been if I had picked a sex toy or a kink implement or featured someone in my picture. It feels fairly easy to explain why someone or something else is hot but doing that for me? Even after all these years of blogging and self portraits it still feels oddly complex.

Not the image so much, I know I can take a photograph of myself that is sexy but writing that I realise even those words are telling. The image is sexy. The picture I took is sexy. It is a clever little trick, a slight of hand (words?) that makes it easier to say than “I am sexy”.

So I decided to take a picture that shows a sexy thing about me. I took a few different shots but in the end I settled on this one which I took last summer. This image is not posed or planned. I was standing in the garden enjoying the morning sun in just my dressing gown and the mirror I had picked at the car boot was resting up against the fence. I crouched down and just took the shot. I have bed hair, and am wearing my slippers and yet this image felt like it captured sexy because way better than any of the other ones I had tried to take with that thought in mind.

I realised it is not my tits or arse or figure that makes me sexy but me, the person who I am. The fact I am playful and loving and all the things that I am, kinky, silly, confident, shy, subby, older, short, happy, scared. I am sexy because I am me. That doesn’t make me sexy to everyone, far from it, but to the people who connect with that, who connect with who I am, then I am sexy.
