I love my fat fetish and subcategories of it, but the only thing unfortunate about it is it’s scarcity results in such long distances between the compatible. I still choose to be transparent about my fat fetish (with hintings of what I like) on “vanilla dating” websites. I would rather be single than settle for someone with secrets that lives close by. I think it’s time for teleporters to be invented so we can travel instantly to places that take so long to arrive to. 😏.

My feedee absolutely loves to be humiliated and degraded, he’s into the extremes and has no limit. I am just getting into the degrading so I’m not sure what I can say. Any help would be very appreciated

Queen Ralia stands in the mirror unclothed as she looks at her naked form. Since her decree, it will probably be the last time she sees herself in this state. Her milk chocolate skin stretches over her slender yet well muscled body. There is hardly a bit of fat on her at all. She rubs her hands over her scalp and notes how stubble is forming over her normally shorn head.

Queen Ralia looks down at her stomach once they leave. Her lean abs are stretched over her bloated stomach. She can make out a few ridges of muscle. She mourns that soon no one will be able to make out any muscle. Her plan is to stuff herself nearly non-stop; it won't be long until her stomach will settle on her thighs.

At three months pregnant, Queen Ralia can safely say she is fat. Everything on her feels heavy. Her breasts and belly put a strain on her back. If it wasn't for her equally large backside, she'd probably topple over. Her giant thighs thud and slap against each other to the point that they rub each other raw. She's taken to wearing bands, creams, and powders all the time. The only time they don't touch is when she spreads them to make room for her belly. She isn't sure just how heavy she is, but she'll find out today at the healer.

The maids dress her in a patterned bra with a sheer cover-up piece. Well, perhaps "cover-up" is a misnomer. Not only is everything see-through, but also it just covers her flabby arms, breasts, and backside. Her wobbling middle is exposed sicking out with a slight hang.

2. Numbers don't really mean anything in the imagination when describing body changes or food volume. Unless there is a plot element specific to it, you don't need numbers. It will free you, I promise.


Letters And Numbers:
I agree with this completely, but I will also say that numbers are *extremely* popular. I get more positive feedback from weighing segments than from almost anything else.

So while I don’t just write to please the reader (anyone who has read my current story can attest to that), sometimes it’s nice to give people what they want, too! But all things in proper moderation.

Munchies:
My take on the numbers is that they can be used effectively, but most people in the community do not know how. To be clear, this issue isn't FF-specific. I see it in a lot of fetish spaces.

It's essentially a case of "show, don't tell." It's the difference between saying, "It's 32 F/0 C outside," versus "The biting cold froze the puddle of water." One tells you what's happening, while the other immerses you in the experience.

That said, I believe there is a time and place for numbers. For example, maybe you're writing a fit-to-fat story where the protagonist is coming to terms with their weight. Since her weight is integral to the plot, you could include that when it moves the plot forward.

Letters And Numbers:
I agree completely! 100%. But I think in this particular community, some readers *really* like numbers. It doesn’t make the story stronger as a story, but as fan service people like it. So it’s a choice the author has to make. I’m trying to take numbers out of my current story because that’s not the story I want to tell, but I can’t deny that it’s popular.

Letters And Numbers:
This is a wonderful thread. Thank you to @Munchies for making it! And for all the great contributions!

Morbidly A Beast:
I don’t really see the point unless you’re not actively gaining or fat, could be useful for feeders? It’s pretty obvious you can tell us by our bellies… but obviously not all fat people are in on our thing.

SnM4BDSMinFL:
Something tells me it was never widespread. I've been on (admittedly mostly lurking) around a number of feedism-related sites since the early/mid 2000s and I can't recall ever seeing that.

Sadly, I think these days adopting such a symbol for the community would merely serve to act as a target for oppression. At least in some parts of the world, anyways.
