Skinny

Dear Skinny,

Having sex has nothing to do with the way your body develops (unless you get pregnant and then your body is going to go through LOTS of changes!). "Curves and breasts" come from the type of body you inherited. For example, a woman who inherited a very thin body type may stay thin her whole life, even though she may marry and have children (whom she can very successfully breast feed no matter how small her breasts are!) She just may never have much in the way of "curves and breasts". If your friend's body changed in that direction after she started having sex with her boyfriend it was not because of the sex. It was because her body was ready to "fill out". It would have done that any way... on its own timetable, without the sex.
