Feeder Fetishism

[Bassomatic]

In another thread talking about people who are morbidly obese and how they got there from one way or the other, almost all of them have one thing in common somone enabling them. But since it falls under the idea of supporting something that is known medically bad and a odd behavior I thought maybe worth a thread.

Well, there are people out there who's enabling and the growth of a partner is a turn on to them, up to a sexual thrill from cripling them.

Well at least we know the HAES group can find someone .

A few cites to get things going:

Dude, once I got paid to draw a dragon feeding a bat cookies while the bat was laying in bed in her undies.

I just read the article.

Ugh, I'm sorry, but that is just plain creepy. There's something freaky about feeding a person until they reach an unhealthy weight.

I wish I had the horrifying rating. I'm not going to eat any junk food tomorrow.

Health at Every Size? What a joke. Can you imagine in someone tried to perpetuate an anorexic person's lifestyle or something?

All I make of that is the fatties would just cry blubber tears over it and the pro-anas would encourage the fuck out of that.

There was actually a horror movie based on these people a few years ago:

I think I'm going to be sick.

I don't understand this shit at all. Why would you do this?

 

[Rere-chan]

I kind of get it? Not the feeding some one in til they are 600 lbs but like maybe 250-300 lbs.

It's shit like this that sometimes makes me lose faith in humanity. Way more costs than benefits to any of this obviously. Whatever pleasure they're gonna even possibly get from this will cost them a shitload of health problems and other sorts of social issues. They're asking to be 'fat shamed' too or whatever crazy term certain people use now.

I don't know, either, but it freaks me out, too!

There have been multiple Dr Phil episodes about these people. They're so fucking funny. I can't find the original "World's Biggest Bride" episode on YouTube (some lady wanted to put on hundreds of pounds for her wedding and of course was already hundreds of pounds. It was... fucking weird, her whole family talked about how much she ate "healthy". Dr Phil made every one of them cry and it was glorious).

The update episode is up though. Has a few large people, but the Bride in question has a segment with her feeder husband:

Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ. Her boyfriend just holds out a block of cheese like, "here, good doggie!" And then the part where they're both feeding her -- it's like she's just a giant sex toy. Ew.

I told this story in the fat acceptance thread, but in case anyone missed it, my dad's a funeral director, and he told me about the heaviest corpse he ever had to deal with: six-hundredsome pounds. The guy hadn't been downstairs in his house for years, and to get him out of the house, they had to break down the wall between the two bedroom windows and lift the body out with a crane. (He told me about another funeral home around here who dealt with a woman who was 800 pounds!) That's what's going to happen with these people. Of course, I imagine if you told this chick, she'd be thrilled at the idea.

And I hate to go all SJW, but it seems like it's mainly men doing this to women, rather than the other way around. Considering the problems a lot of women have with body image (say what you will about SJWs, but it is an issue), that's fucked up. If there are female feeders, I have yet to read of one. It's mostly BBW.


(Oh, and shouldn't those Hot Pockets be in the freezer? )

I watched the trailer some months ago after reading a blurb on it from /fit/ (Hah! That rhymed!). The 2 minutes alone spoke more for itself than what the entire movie would be if I dared to watch the whole thing... *shudder*

I've always seen real life feeding as a way for a man to control a woman and that's why it makes me a little uncomfortable.

It probably explains why the men always leave when the women after they get a little independent/lose weight/go out more/become more social, etc

 

[MACH-IV]

This has been happening for decades, and it's not just men doing it to women. Men do it to other men as well. Truly disgusting.

If you wish to see the depths of the void, I invite you to explore.

I honestly didn't expect that to be page after page of men, always thought this was more of a woman thing.

I think that might be in part because of a Tumblr trend that focuses on chubby, hairy guys. The feeder fetish works pretty well with that.

They referenced this in the latest season of AHS; the freakshow got a fat lady at the end of the season, and Evan Peters' character (who they couldn't ever figure out what to do with) got drunk and started feeding her ice cream in a really creepy way.

The eaters obviously enjoy it because they get to eat and have their self-image reinforced, and the feeders are more than likely fat fetishists who know that every spoonful is just more empty calories to pile on the pounds.

Me too, however while looking through the tag I came across this little gem of a quiz. It's quite lulzworthy and horrifying all at the same time (I certainly had fun being creeped out by it anyways).

Imagine how you would feel if someone offered to give you a free trip to Hawaii. You would probably think about lying by the beach, swimming in the ocean, and just taking in the natural beauty of the place. That would probably sound appealing. And you would realize that you have to take a plane trip to get there and probably you're not looking forward to that, but you probably would consider it worth it for the chance to spend time in a wonderful place like Hawaii.

In this analogy, Hawaii is a fat man. A chubby chaser is someone who fantasizes about being in Hawaii. He just wants to be in the presence of a fat man that he can enjoy. He doesn't care how he gets there, he just wants to spend time there.

But for gainers and encouragers, it's much more about the plane trip over. They don't fantasize about relaxing once they get to Hawaii. They fantasize about the trip they'll take to get to Hawaii. So the part that others find boring or tedious is what gainers and encouragers find sexually arousing.

In other words, for chasers it's all about the destination whereas for gainers and encouragers it's much more about the process. That's why a chaser will tend to focus on a particular weight range because he is attracted to guys who are a particular size. But gainers and encouragers care less about size and more about the process of getting bigger.

This focus on process can be both exhilarating and frustrating. Consider, for example, a tale of two gainers:

• a skinny gainer who fantasizes about being fatter (very common): He can be sexually turned on by some relatively simple acts like getting stuffed with food, weighing himself before and after, measuring his belly before and after, showing off before and after pictures of his belly, and having his belly rubbed when he is stuffed. The gainer doesn't have to become fat to be sexually satisfied and he will find it amazing to have a supportive community cheering him on even though he is basically a very skinny guy.
  
  
• a gainer who has gotten fat over time and decides to stop gaining for a while (also very common): Even though he has become fat, it can be difficult to stop because he fantasizes about getting bigger and he finds that his fellow gainers and encouragers want to hear about progress, progress, progress (which means weight gain). So he can find it difficult to find sexual satisfaction and he can become alienated from the community that helped him to become fat. Even though he's fatter than the young gainers, he might find people not wanting to talk to him unless he's actively gaining.
