AskDrFeeder:
I've heard this story many times. A person has no interest in feedism but is persuaded to try it by their feeder. They gain some and by their partner's reaction realize how erotic feedism can be. It starts to turn them on, and before you know it they appreciate gaining on its own merits. They'll want to continue even if they break up with their partner.
Has this happened to you? Can you add any details? (I've heard of this happening many times but no one seems to be able to describe it very well. )
Munchies:
Why feedees and not feedists?
I digress.
Good question, but I'd rather do one question at a time!
Munchies:
Can't teach someone to participate in a kink they don't want to participate in.
AskDrFeeder:
I think that's usually true, but it does happen sometimes. They'll try it and find they like it. Maybe you don't want to call that "teaching" but it's a thing.
It's not teaching. That is introducing someone to a new thing.
For example, I didn't get into BDSM until a partner introduced it to me. He didn't teach me a thing. I figured out what I did and didn't like while he supported me through my discovery.
There were things he liked that were no-goes for me. Meanwhile, there were things that I enjoyed that he was largely ambivalent about.
Circling back to the original topic, there are numerous ways to be a feedee. As such, you can't be
taught. You can explore it. You can go on a journey. But it's something you have to figure out for yourself.
