Members shared what helps them feel confident and sexy, with movement-based activities like dancing, running, working out, and yoga coming up again and again as powerful mood boosters. Several members also pointed to creative and personal rituals like making art, gardening, writing, getting a fresh haircut, smelling good, and listening to music as ways to reconnect with themselves. A recurring theme was that feeling good starts with self-love, staying connected to others, and nurturing both the body and mind through daily routines.

I understand that my answer is not exactly what the questioner is looking for, but what makes me feel sexier than anything else are words of affirmation, specifically about my body and especially when we're having sex, from a partner. The last time I really felt sexy was almost two years ago when I was dating a man who showed me and told me in so many words how sexy he found me. It doesn't mean much coming from strangers, but when someone you love whispers or shouts those sweet words while making love...my sexy meter goes off the charts.
Now, to what I do for myself that makes me feel sexy: jock straps (that's right @A myHIVteam Member, me too), a fresh haircut, right after a workout when I'm pumped and even when I'm masturbating. All of those things can make me feel sexy.

Wow… interesting question. I hired a lot of technique before I found my private path. I realized I had to stay positive and be absolutely confident that everything would work out. I confidently told myself that everything would be just like this and let it go, confident that everything would work out as I planned. And when I started using this technique, everything gradually started working out.

I very much enjoy running. It helps clear my mind and keep myself in tune with my body.
