The female body is seen as a source of aesthetic pleasure,
sexual attraction, fertility, and reproduction.
There are wide differences in what would be
considered an ideal or preferred body shape,
both for attractiveness and for health reasons.
Estrogens have a significant impact on a female’s
body shape. They are produced in both men and women,
but their levels are significantly higher in women,
especially in those of reproductive age.
Besides other functions, estrogens promote
the development of female secondary sexual
characteristics, such as breasts and hips.
As a result of estrogens, during puberty,
girls develop breasts and their hips widen.
Working against estrogen, the presence of
testosterone in a pubescent female inhibits
breast development and promotes muscle development.

Female shapes in
the fashion industry
Body shapes are often categorised in the fashion industry
into one of four elementary geometric shapes, though there
are very wide ranges of actual sizes within each shape:
Rectangular
The waist measurement is less than 9 inches (23 cm), smaller
than the hips and bust measurement.
Body fat is distributed predominantly in the abdomen, buttocks,
chest, and face. This overall fat distribution creates the
typical ruler (straight) shape.
Inverted triangle
Athletic shaped women have broad(er) shoulders compared with
their (narrower) hips. The legs and thighs tend to be slim,
while the chest looks larger compared with the rest of the body.
Fat is mainly distributed in the chest and face.
Spoon
The hip measurement is greater than the bust measurement.
The distribution of fat varies, with fat tending to deposit
first in the buttocks, hips, and thighs.
As body fat percentage increases, an increasing proportion
of body fat is distributed around the waist and upper abdomen.
The women of this body type tend to have a relatively larger rear,
thicker thighs, and a small(er) bosom.
Hourglass or X shape (triangles opposing, facing in)
The hips and bust are almost of equal size with a narrow waist.
Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body
and lower body. This body type enlarges the arms, chest, hips,
and rear before other parts, such as the waist and upper abdomen.
The Cockpit
You have one of your most sensitive parts inside one of
her most sensitive parts. With each movement inside her
you can feel the walls of her vagina, muscles and flesh.
The vaginal wall is an incredibly strong muscle and
she will probably use this to some extent for her
own pleasure during sex. You may also feel the
contracting and relaxing during orgasm. Her vagina
spasms and this will clench you to some degree.
