It represents the ultimate Feeding fantasy but irl there are too many problems. I keep trying to imagine scenarios where I'd actually do it and always fail.

I'm in awe that you were able to tell them.

And actually, I can't figure out how to be funny about it either!

Fantasy shmantasy. You need a REAL Evil Feeder. Only when you have no choice but to get as big as possible will you be able to eat with total abandon.

That IS a problem! I don't have it, though I've often wondered if I had a gf gain large amounts of weight whether it would ever be enough. I think there'd be a temptation to say "Oh, another ten pounds wouldn't hurt" every time a new milestone was reached...

I think even before they genetically change anyone they will "cure obesity"--develop a pill or therapy that will allow anyone to easily lose weight. At around the same time they will diabetes and other health problems that can be caused by obesity.

So no one will be fat--unless they WANT to. And many of those who wouldn't get fat these days (because of the health risks and the difficulty of losing weight if they change there mind) will feel free to get as fat as they want.

So it could be great for feeders and feedees. Not so good for FAs, as I doubt most foodees would get fat or stay that way if it were easy to lose. Though I could be wrong.

Of course there are enormous downsides to immobility and it's probably unwise to set that as a goal.

But let's look at the advantages for a minute.

1. Once you decide to become immobile, you really have license to gorge yourself. NO reason to hold back.

2. Most big and gaining people have to exercise a lot so they don't slip into immobility. But if you plan to become immobile anyway, you don't have to exercise.

Any others?

Has anyone here been in a "platonic" feeding relationship? I.e., the feeder encourages the feedee to gain (by cooking, taking him/her out to dinner, buying snacks, cheerleading, etc.) but there's no sex between them.

(Feeding is so sexual that I've always thought such a relationship would be too frustrating to bother with, but that's just me.)

Have any of you experienced this kind of relationship? Feeder side or feedee side? How has it gone?

Definitely. When I first saw this painting:

framemuseums.org/jsp/fiche_oeuvre.jsp

I thought she was beautiful but just a bit chubbier than I preferred.

I still think she's beautiful but now I think she needs to gain another 30 lbs at least.

Personally I think 17 or less is usually too young to make this decision.

But at eighteen you're old enough (in the US anyway) to vote, get drafted, commit felonies, pay taxes--basically, make all your own decisions.

By all means, consider all the risks, upsides, downsides, etc.

Then get as fat as you want.

Congrats!
