What is feederism?
Feederism, sometimes known as feedism, is a sexual fetish based on the desire to feed, fatten and indulge in food. People in the community tend to fall into 3 main categories:- Feedees who want to eat and get fat
- Feeders who want to feed and fatten others
- Fat appreciators who enjoy being fat themselves, or are attracted to fat people
Please note that feederism is not the same as body positivity or fat acceptance. Most people within the feederism community will also advocate for these things, but it is not the primary focus. The fat acceptance community have their own groups and websites, and whilst there is some cross-over between the sub-cultures, this doesn't tend to be a great amount.
Feederism in our community takes place between consenting adults, who have autonomy over their own bodies. There is respect, open-mindedness and tolerance between members. People who don't have these desires may sometimes find them difficult to understand, but please remember, that just because it is not your thing, that doesn't mean it is wrong or harmful.

Why is getting fat so arousing?
You may be asking yourself, why on earth would someone want to deliberately become fat? Well, throughout history eating and indulging has been seen as sexy and arousing. Many couples who are not into feederism will engage in food play in the bedroom. There is something very sensual about food and the act of eating, it taps into our primal urges of survival and fertility.
Have you ever experienced the pleasure of delving into a chocolate fudge cake, or perhaps a creamy cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and fruit toppings? Maybe you felt more than pleasure and it was actually a little arousing. What if your partner was becoming aroused by watching you eat and actively started encouraging you to eat more? There's a thrilling excitement in just letting go, ditching restrictive diets and conforming to social norms, indulging in all the calorie laden foods you love and stuffing to your hearts content.
Did you know...?
The ancient Greeks believed many foods to be aphrodisiacs, or having sexual power, including pomegranates, figs, garlic and oysters.

Then there's the sensuality of fat itself, the soft, warm pliable flesh, the comfort of having it on your own body, or of cuddling up to a fat person. Many find the tangible physical sensation of fatness very erotic, the squishing, jiggling and wobbling of bums and tums being just as sexy as a strip tease. Some like the sensation of increasing dependency as they or their partner becomes larger, needing help in washing and dressing, unable to do things for themselves. This can lead to role play scenarios of humiliation and BDSM, being dominant over a poor helpless fatty, or sitting on and squashing your puny feeder.
There are feeders who like to be nurturers and caregivers, cooking and fetching food, giving belly rubs to ease the discomfort of being stuffed, and generally treating their feedee like a prince or princess. Others may binge eat or force feed, stretching their bellies so tight that they climax.
Whether you fantasize about being bigger, growing your partner, or want to dabble in weight gain sex play, there’s something for everyone at the feederism buffet.
Is feederism for me?
Are you here just out of curiosity, or is there something more? Maybe you’ve always been overweight and you enjoy binging on snacks? Perhaps you love the idea of feeding and would love to fatten someone else? Could it be that you’re sexually attracted to fat people and have gained the label chubby chaser? If any of these strike a cord with you, then you may well be a feedee, feeder or fat appreciator.
There are of course health concerns associated with being overweight that you'll need to take into consideration. Many in the community have always been fat and so this is just a continuation of their life experience. For others however their is a deliberate choice to be made, do they carry on suppressing their urges and forsake being their true selves, or do they accept the risks and just go for it? There are family and friends to also consider, how will they react if you start putting on weight? Are you mentally prepared to become the fat person in the room? Often a compromise is the most practical solution.
Starting your journey into feederism
Once you've made the decision that you'd like to become involved in feederism, your next step will probably be to seek out like-minded people, find playmates, or a potential partner, with whom you can explore your fetish and desires. A great way to start is to join an online community such as this one. Fantasy Feeder specialises in feederism, but there are other websites that also associate with feederism to a similar or lesser degree:
- Dimensions is a long running, forum base weight gain and fat positive community.
- Curvage is a video clip site, that also has a community weight gain forum.
- Feabie is a fast moving, Twitter (X) style web app, that specialises in feederism.
Also look out for local meet-ups and events, some which may be organized by the website owners and others by their members. Not all plus-sized events are organised by fans of feederism and some will try to distance themselves from the fetish, so make sure you read up about the event and look for reviews before attending.
