General

It's the same for me. My girlfriend knows about my fetish, but we are both on the same page that it won't play a role in our relationship (which I am completely fine with). At first, I think she was worried abt that kind of thing, but to me it's only arousing if it's intended in a sexual way, which it isn't.

Exactly. I see my partner eat every day. It's not been a sexual thing for any of the thousands of times I've seen it. It's just so mundane, maybe that's why it's not arousing for me.

Throwing this one into the mix -

I enjoy watching my wife eat - mainly because I envision all the extra calories producing fat on her figure - so it is related to weight gain. I really start to obsess over it when I see her intake at meals get larger and larger as she has been gaining and knowing her appetite is getting bigger and bigger with even more weight she is gaining. It is very arousing see her appetite become so big and out of control and I just can’t wait to see ho much fatter she keeps getting.
