    Question

    A friend of mine told me that after you start having sex, your hips get wider, and your thighs and backside seem to get bigger because of changes your body goes through after sex. Is this true?

    Answer

    For goodness sakes, no! As you move through your period your body does get rounder but it happens to everyone, not just people who have sex!
