Advice for accepting fetish?

Angelhoney:
I have accepted my fetish a lot this yr, and have had more healthy convos about it with my boyfriend. He’s accepting of it, but not into it sexually.

I have gained a little weight recently and it’s constantly on my mind. I find it very hot and I love the weight but part of myself hates myself for “letting myself go”. I’ve always been skinny my whole life, and have had a sort of inner fat phobia. I find fat bodies very beautiful but judge myself harshly for seeing it on myself.

How do I stop caring what others think? I feel like I need to see a sex therapist from all the fat phobia my mother raised me with.


Maybe this is a dumb idea, but what about having something like professional boudoir photos taken of you? The excuse could be as a gift to him, but it would also be a confidence boosting thing for you? Or even a professional holiday photo shoot with the two of you? But I bang the therapy drum pretty loud. I think it’s good for everyone.

Dissonance between fetish and romantic life

ForeverFFA:
I feel the need to update this thread because I'm sort of struggling all over again just when I thought I had reached a happy conclusion.

It feels like my fat fetish is not really welcome in my relationship after all, as if my boyfriend would rather pretend it doesn't exist. He hasn't brought it up once since our initial discussions but has instead made offhand remarks about fat being unhealthy and has continued to talk negatively about his own and others' bodies (for being "too" fat). I'm wondering if I should approach a renewed discussion with him after all this? And how?

My fetish isn't going away, and I feel like I can't live as my whole, authentic self with this silence. I'm also confused, based on his initial reaction being much more positive.


I guess the question to me is what do you want this relationship to be, or where would you see it going if the kink compatibility was different?

If you see it as just a fling, then maybe it has run its course and you should think about moving on.

On the other hand, if this is someone you could see yourself being with for a long time, I personally put 100% sexual compatibility down the list behind an awful lot of other qualities and values. I could see someone changing their mind on body positivity, or coming around to your way of thinking on what’s sexy long before their opinions change on children, careers, commitment, housekeeping priorities, politics, etc….

And even if they never warm up to fat fetishism, those other qualities might be more important in that long term partner. Or not!

I know I had to make that choice, and I’m happy I stuck with the person I connected with in those other aspects of our relationship, but I’m just one person with one story.

The struggle of slim feedees

Dolan:
So I’ve recently gotten back into this and I want to gain a lot of weight. The problem is that I want to be encouraged by a feeder girl but it seems like no one wants to help you when you’re first starting out. I love the fit to fat aspect of this but I feel like I’m going to have to prove myself alone and gain weight before anyone takes me seriously. Wish there were more feeders open to male feedees/gainers just starting out.


I'm not sure what your expectations are, but I would say that an awful lot of people struggle to find a kink partner that is compatible with them - male/female, straight/gay, fat or slimmer. Have you specifically been turned down by people looking for a partner who say you're too thin? You might just need to be more patient, or cast a wider net, or work on your game some. Just a thought.

Like, I think it's a huge hurdle to cross to put yourself out there like you have, and I'm sure it took a lot of thought and stress and all that, but just putting the bait on the hook doesn't mean you catch a fish right away.

Are straight female feeders/encouragers common?

Maybe it’s just my experience, but I feel like the female feeders and FFA’s have really come out of the woodwork in the past few years. They feel like a much more vocal and integrated part of sites like this. I remember years ago on FF, when you would go to pics, it would default to pics of women. Pics of men were there, but it took another click or two. Now it defaults to pics of people and you can click to search for men or women if you want. I don’t know when that change was made, but it’s nice, and I’m sure came about because of user feedback to make the site more inclusive. There are way more stories about men, by women authors. Or at least it feels that way. It’s definitely not perfect, like Munchies said, but I do feel the vibe of the community is more inclusive than it was, say, 10 years ago. At least here and on Dims. I can think of sites that aren’t that way.

Munchies:

Letters And Numbers:
I think you’re getting trolled a little bit, fyi

Munchies:
Doesn't matter. I've already reported them. The only reason why I am still responding is to preserve evidence.


Reported to who? Law enforcement?

Everyone's losing weight

Letters And Numbers:
The silly part to me is being upset at a choice someone else makes with their body. I’m with you there. I think he’s right that it’s starting to become pretty easy for middle class folks to get Wegovy scripts approved through insurance. (i would say that having private health insurance is one of the signifiers of American middle class-hood, an otherwise difficult to pinpoint demo). BMI over 30, one other comorbidity like high blood pressure, a doctor that wants to play. You’re pretty much there.

Munchies:
You're right. I don't like the idea of preventing people from losing weight just because you have a fetish. It's dehumanizing. Even the way he described these people (deflated beach balls) is gross.

That said, a lot of jobs offer health insurance. And you can get inexpensive health insurance plans on the Market Place thanks to the Affordable Care Act. So that's not a good indicator of class.


Yup same vibe to me as guys who rant about girls with tattoos or pink hair or piercings. God forbid someone want to feel better about themselves, whether it’s thinner or heavier. Oh well, everyone’s a critic.

Everyone's losing weight

Fivepointno:
I’ve noticed a lot of girls looking like deflated beach balls lately. It all comes down to insurance, within 2 years there will be almost zero middle class obese girls.

Munchies:
Okay, now you are being very silly. And also very gross for saying that. It's super objectifying, and a handful of women (I hope you don't mean girls because that's pedophilia) does a trend not make.

Some points:

Not every middle class woman is trying to lose weight.

There is a sizable anti-modern medicine community of middle class women who will use natural medicine.

Ozempic and Wegovy can make people feel violent ill. And there's a growing voice warning people that some will face irreparable health issues.

Both medications are injections. People would rather take a pill than stab themselves.

While Ozempic and Wegovy (the most popular weight loss medications) can be covered under insurance, it's not always the case. For example, Medicare (it's possible to be on Medicare as a young person if you have certain disabilities) does not cover Wegovy at all. At it will not cover Ozempic for off-label use. Tricare can cover Wegovy, but you have to meet certain medical criteria.

Most middle class people get their coverage via their job. And not every plan will cover it. Those that do typically require you to have some obesity related health issue.

If you are fat but not sick, you'll have to pay out of pocket. Ozempic costs about $892 a month. Wegovy can cost about $1,349. There are coupons and manufacturer drug programs that can mitigate the costs. However, the coupons may not reduce the costs very much. As for the programs, not everyone will qualify, and the programs tend to be limited.

Some middle class households can eat these costs. Some can't. Some don't want to. It depends on a lot of things like cost of living and lifestyle.

So, you are being very, very silly.

Story recommendations?

Bellyblubber:
For beer belly stories, I recommend “The Beer Wench and the Cowboy” by Bella Swells and “Lila’s Beer Belly” by D99. They’re both super hot. As far as seduction using weight gain goes, the only one I can think of is “Seduced by Her Belly,” also by D99. “The Fat Girlfriend Trap” by PolarisDreamer has some of that in it in the later parts as well. For real life but accidental at first, I’d suggest “Hannah going chubby to fat: true story” by HeavyHannah and “True Story: My Girlfriend Got Fat on Vacation” by ILB345. Also I have a story that’s just journal entries I pieced together from my time gaining so far that you might find interesting.


I really enjoy your story! I think it’s hard to make a journal-entry style story flow well, but yours has a real sense of drama and it’s well written. I like it!

Story recommendations?

Zbellies:
I like stuffing, realistic weight gain, and pretty much any scenario involving it. I just read “Beer Belly Girl” by PolarisDreamer so if there’s anything else like that I’m sure I’d love it. Also I have a thing for true stories about women stuffing themselves or gaining when they don’t know about feedism. Something from the POV of someone else watching them gain or get stuffed, like a friend or significant other. I also like the concept of seduction using weight gain. Anyone have any favorites?


Way down at the bottom in the Author’s section there is a monthly Story Club where we read a story together every month and sometimes even discuss it! There have been a couple realistic gain stories that you might like if you wanted to go through the previous months, and if you like it, feel free to participate. It’s more fun when more people are involved. You can make suggestions, as well.
