Do you find the physical limitations of weight gain a turn on or a turn off?

When it comes to health issues and physical limitations, I think there's a bit of a disconnect between fantasy and reality. Sure, it's sexy to be too fat to move normally. But that's also really inconvenient.[/quote]


I agree. I am quite turned on by inconveniences, but immobility is a fantasy only. I do enjoy the occasional hedonistic weekend where I pretty much stay in bed or on the sofa in a state of gluttonous laziness, but it‘s like a treat as opposed to a permanent reality.

You don’t realize when immobility comes through as you get there gradually. And when you get there one day, when you realize that your life is more functional with the use of a wheelchair or a scooter it’s probably too late to go back. My woman was perfectly mobile at 400 lbs but as she has gradually gained to her current 588, her mobility got more and more difficult even within the house. It worries her but we both enjoy so much the consequences of letting go

Defo a turn on. I'd always been fit before I gained, so had no idea how out of shape I'd get or how that would feel.

Not just that. Illness, job loss, death ... the list is long.

Hell, these past due months has seen an uptick in natural disasters, war, and terrorism. Not saying people need to live in fear. Just be aware that things can go tits up without any notice, and you need to be prepared


It always surprises me that so many people don’t plan for the worst case scenario. Maybe it’s because I grew up in California, where fire and earthquake preparedness are something you learn as little kids. Disaster could strike at any time, so you make contingency plans and then get on with life.

So, I don’t want to get fat enough that I can’t run while carrying two cat carriers long enough to get out of a burning house. (Which I can do right now. It’s not pleasant for anyone involved, but I can if I have to.)

I've worked with heavier patients that people would be surprised I could even lift up. I remember colleagues looking at me as if there is no way this guy can do it. I shocked them. When they asked how I told them I had experience. What they didn't know as a feeder who has prepared for an immobile partner, I have had a long time preparing for a partner over 600lbs. Not just lifting. The physical limitations is why a feeder is needed. It's the helpful balance of continue growth in their feedee. Once they get too big to move around on their own, a practical feeder (even if this is your first time being a feeder) can make the accommodations that their feedee will need going forward.

Part of the weight gain journey is all the extra steps that are taken to get to the destination. As long as there is a loving bond it won't be seen as just feedee and caretaker but spouse to spouse, partner to partner.

An obese and immobile person thinks more about what he or she is going to eat than about what could happen in the event of a natural disaster.
In my condition, getting out of bed, leaving the house and then transporting myself is a challenge that requires logistics and the joint work of several people. I even need medical transport designed for someone of my size and, if I am lucky, there is a unit miles away. In the event of a heart attack, I only receive assistance at home and, if surgery is necessary, I am condemned to die.
Natural disasters are minor things and if one were to happen, they cannot do anything to get me out of the house. I do not believe that in an emergency they would allocate vehicles and personnel to get a fat, immobile person out of her house.

It's still crazy to me that so much medical equipment just cannot handle people over a certain weight. Like I work in the medical supply industry, the Texas branch of the company I work for only does wheelchairs but in the rest of the country they also sell beds and oxygen tanks and things like that. But so many of our chairs have such low maximum weights. For most of our manual and power chairs the max weight is 300 lbs which feels incredibly low. Out of all the brands we work with Amylior has the highest weight capacity at 550 lbs. This just feels counter intuitive to me since you'd think people who weigh more would need these products too, they just don't exist for their size.
Also even if you're not heavy and are just thicker you can also run into problems. Most of our manual chairs have a max width of 22 in with only a couple brands going up to 26 in


I agree but you know why they do this, insurance. They want a patient to go through insurance and the hassle to fight for something they need when they are bigger than 550lbs. Scooter on insurance= so much profit but so much fighting to get.

I get aroused when the wifey continually texts me at night for specific snacks to bring to her because she's just too lazy and greedy to even get off the couch during her Netflix binges.

She used to always make the multiple trips to clean up her trash, keep the house tidy. But now the night ends and the chip bags and packaging remains sprawled across her couch area. Just too lazy and fat to care about it - she knows I'll get it in the morning.


Pretty much how i got with my bf

I'm well over 600 pounds, and I never actually intended to have the mobility issues I'm experiencing. I like the way I look at this size, so I'm not saying I have regrets. However, I do find there are a lot of things I miss out on because I no longer drive, tire easily, and find many public spaces I can't navigate. I'm also no longer intentionally gaining, but my weight is still going up even with regular portions and seated exercises. So I guess to answer the question, my obesity and fat are a turn on to me, but not the immobility.

Mobility issues creep up on you without you realising that you’re constantly making adjustments for your size.

This year has been one of accepting my limitations. I’m not immobile, in some ways, far from it. But I’d say that I’m no longer independent.

Can I stand up? Yes, but I need my walker and it might take a few attempts which is pretty tiring. So if someone is here to help, it’s just much easier.

Can I remain standing? Yes, again with my walker. But only for a short period of time.

Can I walk? Well, I can waddle. I manage within the home. But going out, I’m in my scooter. Once I’m on the scooter, it’s great. I can go wherever I want. But I need help to get on and off it and help getting it and myself in and out of the car.

Can I wash and dress myself? No. This has been the hardest one to come to terms with.


So in my experience it’s far more complex than people think. Sometimes I feel ashamed and embarrassed that I need help, sometimes it feels great because it’s very relaxing and reassuring, sometimes I’m in denial about it.
