‘Weight loss jabs are ruining my business – males don’t need curvy fashions like me’

A curvy model fears weight loss jabs will ‘ruin’ her industry as men are gaining a further ‘unrealistic expectation’ of what women look like.

Cherry Bloom, 42, from Scotland, has been working in the modelling and adult content creation industry for some time now. The mum-of-four has always prided herself on embracing her natural body – and it’s earnt her thousands after all.

However, something has changed in the past year that has started to chip away at Cherry’s self-confidence. She previously told us that she loves her ‘wobbly’ bits and so do her adoring male subscribers.

Cherry does still love her natural body – including her belly and cellulite – but has noticed the impact of the rise of weight loss jabs on other women in the industry. Watching fellow models ‘shrink’ to adhere to the new ‘skinny trend’, the mum-of-four even found herself questioning her own body.

To make matters worse, men have increasingly spewed derogatory remarks about Cherry’s appearance. But not backing down to the latest warped ‘beauty standards’, Cherry is fighting back and lifting the lid on what’s happening in the sex industry right now.

She exclusively told us: “I think the weight loss jab has had a negative effect on the sex industry as a whole as it seems to make girls – who already look amazing and that already go to the gym daily – feel like they need to use this to lose even more weight.

“It leads to unrealistic expectations from women as a whole. And I think the rise in the weight loss jab has led some men to have very unrealistic expectations from woman in general.

“I have always stayed natural but for me – mainly in life and in my work – it’s not always easy when I see other girls who look like they don’t have an ounce of fat on there body regardless of it being through surgery or gym.

“But I’ve learned, as I’ve gotten older, to appreciate what I have and how I look. I’ve had remarks both positive and negative about me.

“Unfortunately, that’s the world we seem to live in where people who don’t even have a photo on their account think it’s acceptable to say derogatory things about women, mostly.”

Weight loss jabs have had an uptick in popularity this year after speculation grew with many notable celebrities having appeared to have ‘shrunk’ in a short space of time. This trend was quickly adopted by ordinary people as a ‘quick fix’ to losing weight.

The mum and model is worried about younger women in the industry

The weight loss jabs semaglutide, marketed as Wegovy, is currently being offered on the NHS for those who are obese and meet a specific eligibility criteria. Drug tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro, will be available soon to tackle the nation’s obesity issue, reportedly.

However, those who are not obese nor have pre-existing weight related issues are legally buying weight loss jabs online, splashing hundreds in the name of being ‘skinny’.

Despite being body positive, Cherry admitted that she had considered making ‘changes’ to her body. But, realises that she – and her subscribers – love the way she looks.

Though instead of worrying about the demand of men wanting a ‘shrunken’ look, she’s worried that the young women starting out in the industry will think they need to lose weight to appeal to a wider audience.

Cherry is continuing to learn that her natural cherries and all are just fine!

Cherry explained: “I do feel the pressure sometimes to think ‘oh that could do this or that for me’ but I always end up remembering I’m happy with me – and that’s what matters more.

“Some will love the ‘weight loss’ or fake look and others want the real look so there’s a massive audience out there for everyone, which is one of the main reasons I enjoy it.

“I do have a fear mainly for younger girls in the sex industry that if they start using the weight loss jab that they become dependent on it.

And to do what others want from them more than what they want from themselves in the longer term, which I don’t think is good for the industry or them as women.”
