Zaftig

Zaftig, in Yiddish, means juicy. It also means voluptuous, plump, and round in a deliciously sensuous sort of way, writes Hanne Blank. Used to refer to peoples bodies, it suggests opulence and abundance, a sort of unconventional beauty built on heft and curves and softness. Zaftig is also, often, a euphemism for saying that someone is fat. Hanne Blank presents Zaftig, the first erotica collection celebrating the sexuality of voluptuous women, a full-bodied volume filled with surprising, steamy stories showcasing the sex lives of women of size and their admirers.
