Okay, so this whole hip-widening thing popped into my head after chatting with some friends last week. We were having coffee, just shooting the breeze, and someone mentioned hearing that having sex could actually make your hips wider. Like, permanently. Sounded wild to me, but hey, I’m all about checking things out myself. So I figured, why not dig into it? Let’s see what’s real.
My Starting Point: Body Tracking Time
First thing Monday morning, I grabbed my trusty measuring tape. Pulled out my notebook too – gotta track this properly. Took my hip measurement right there in the bathroom: 38 inches around the widest part. Snapped a quick side-view photo for reference. Normal stuff, nothing fancy. Made a note of my weight and how I’d been working out lately too. Wanted a solid baseline before even thinking about… well, sex stuff.
Fact-Checking Mode Activated
Poked around online first – tons of forums and old wives’ tales claiming the hip thing. But actual science? Nah. Couldn’t find a single legit study linking sex to bone changes. Fired off an email to my doc buddy Sarah. She laughed. Literally called me and said,“Dude, bones don’t reshape from sex. That’s not how any of this works.” Asked her point-blank about hormones too. Her exact words: “Short-term hormone blips don’t remodel your skeleton.”
Testing the Theory… Personally
Tuesday night? Date night with Mark. We’re pretty active, let’s just say. Woke up Wednesday feeling… well, normal. Measured immediately after waking up: still 38 inches. Repeated this after every… uh, encounter… for the whole week. Same routine: tape measure, photo, check-in. Zero change in hip size. Not even a blip. Meanwhile, my workout plan was the real hip influencer.
- Monday Squats: Felt that butt and thigh burn next day.
- Thursday Yoga: Hip openers made me ache in muscles, not bones.
- Sunday Walks: Glutes fired up just walking uphill.
The Real Reasons Hips Don’t Change
By Friday, looking at all my notes and photos, three things slapped me in the face:
- Bones are stubborn: Your pelvic bones fuse solid by your early 20s. Tape measure proved sex doesn’t magically unfuse them.
- Hormone Hype is BS: Oxytocin spikes briefly during sex – feel-good vibes, sure, but not hip-widening fairy dust.
- Muscles vs. Motion: Any hip movement during sex engages muscles you already have. It’s like saying climbing stairs widens your hips. Makes no sense.
Wrapping This Up
Final measurement Sunday night? Still 38 inches. Not a fraction different. Threw my notebook on the table and just laughed. Sex feels great, sure, but my hips are exactly where biology put them. That whole myth? Pure nonsense. Your pelvis isn’t Play-Doh. Trust the tape measure.
