When I was a child, I already did many things that would forever seal my future kinks and fetishes when I became a teenager and then an adult, like being strangely attracted to the big bellies of cartoon characters, drawing belly hair and navels on the big bellies of certain comic book characters 🐻 (I didn't know it yet, but it was already one of the most obvious signs of my attraction to big gay bears 🐻), and I drank as much water as possible, just to have the roundest and most swollen belly possible. And what were your warning signs during your childhood or adolescence?

Me and my other friends, the big bearded giants, we like little human beings, and they are very useful to us for having fun with. That's why we invented a really fun and relaxing little game. 😄
Since we love belly massages and relaxing, we slumped into the armchair, unbuttoned our shirts, revealing our big, hairy bellies, and each chose our own human to swallow, and our own human who would be there to massage our stomachs while we digested the others. But the main rule of the game is to choose the human who looks the fittest, because whoever swallows the human who lasts the longest in their stomach without losing consciousness amidst the gurgling and suffocating heat of a stomach wins the round. We know pretty easily when the prey has lost the round; we no longer feel them wriggling in their stomach, nor groaning between the gurgles, nor seeing the bumps and hand and face marks appear on the surface of the fat. When only one human remains, still wriggling inside one of a giant's big, hairy bellies, that's the winner. They'll be burped out of the belly to be swallowed by the next one. If they win the next round, the cycle will continue. If they're truly enduring, they'll have the "chance" to explore and gurgle in the warmth of more than one digestive system at a time, much to the delight of our big, hairy bellies. Yes, our big bellies adore the pure and exquisite sensation of a good internal stomach massage. 🥴 So, the prey tasked with massaging our big, hairy bellies will then replace those who lost the other rounds. There are also a few tricks to keep your human inside your belly for a long time, like swallowing as much air as possible and not burping, so they can have more air in one of our bellies.
It's only at the end of our rounds that we can relieve our bellies and belch like pigs. Sometimes we even belch up our prey's belongings (like underwear), which we keep as trophies.
So, if you want the chance to travel and end up in as many hairy bellies of bearded giants as possible, you'd better let yourself be captured (if you really like that sort of thing, of course, you little perverted weirdo 😈😉) and, above all, be very physically fit. Otherwise, if you don't like that sort of thing, too bad.

Another thing from the BBS era is that email could go worldwide. A BBS with a Fidonet or UUCP feed would do. Also if you had the money for services like Compuserve...
What is uucp or fidonet?
Sorry i'm not American.

Zines. In the early 90's people would put out little self published zines. A good number of them were about kinks and fetishes. That was how I figured out that i wasn't alone with having different sexul fantasies. There were others out there that had them too.
I met my first feedee through a indie paper. She had put an add in the "kink" section and i answered.
Anyway that's how got met others.
That’s cool. 😄

It would have been a very dark time. In short, likely through sheer dumb luck and overcoming abject fear. But for the most part, I think that maybe they just didn't?
I don't know if I'm fully qualified to answer, since I was a kid during the rise of the World Wide Web, which is about the time when "the Internet" really reached mainstream status.
In the 80s and early 90s, Usenet groups existed that operated over the Internet. There also would have been BBSes (bulletin board systems) that relied entirely on dial-up.
However, there would have been a rather substantial technical learning curve, so the average person would not have used it. Keep in mind, this was also when the average household didn't even have a computer, and the cost to obtain one would have been substantial - it would have been a tough sell to a lot of people.
Usenet would have had worldwide reach, but the userbase would have been small in relative terms. However, I'm sure there would have been a lot of "adult oriented" groups on it.
Most BBSes were accessed via dial-up. A lot, perhaps most of them were just run by some local who left one of his computers running 24/7 and he signed up for multiple phone lines. The phone number to the BBS was likely posted on a physical, literal bulletin board at the local library, community center, or coffee shop. Because of long distance charges, the vast majority of BBSes would have consisted of local users, which meant people you might run into the grocery store or see in person.
This is perhaps too much background information, but it was probably not likely many such connections were formed.
But what about methods that didn't require fancy electronics?
Before there was Dimensions Magazine, there was apparently something called BUF magazine. It was largely pornographic, available only in adult boutique shops. I've never read it, but some of the covers suggested there were articles that might have covered certain relevant topics. There might have also been some other such magazines. But I think BUF ceased publication sometime in the early 90s?
I can't know for sure, but it's conceivable they could have run a dating service through the magazine, similar to the way newspapers in larger cities did. It would not have been cheap, and it would have been slow. You'd mail letters in, and the service would then forward it to the other person.
There's also the question of how many female readers they might have had; probably not many due to the nature of the material.
If you lived in a small town, this was likely your only option, short of incredible luck.
How about in person? Was that possible?
Maybe if you lived in a large city, went to just the right night club, and then got really, really lucky with meeting the right person?
The NAAFA was founded in '69, and would have had conventions. Perhaps it was occasionally possible for connections to form that way.
There are still occasionally "BBW bash" events but I have no information on how they would have been organized prior to the Web, or even how frequent they might have been.
But in short, I think it was maybe, more often than not, just through sheer dumb luck.
You might still think it's a big challenge now, and it is. It often feels like everyone is too far away, even in the largest cities. But it's a hell of a lot better now than it would have been back then.
It probably also helps a lot that people in general are much heavier now than they were in the 80s or before.
Wow, this is really very interesting and informative, I didn't even know all these things from that era.

I’m only 22 so take what I’m saying with a pinch of salt but I have this feeling that like attracts like. It’s like gaydar in a sense but spread to everything. You can just tell, the attraction, that lure, its innate. One just knows who their kind is. I’m a very peculiar person in many ways and yet I have met people in real life with similar interests to me. It’s like it’s fate, you’re just drawn to each other. Also being in certain spaces like alternative clubs or in the music world, in the art world ect you’re a lot more likely to meet people who are generally open minded.
Yes, I understand exactly what you mean and write, because it's something I've also noticed in my life. It seems almost unreal, as if it couldn't be a coincidence that we meet people with so much similarity and affinity. And it's in circles that have absolutely nothing to do with our preferences. But finding people with the same fetishes as us is still more complicated than finding people with the same hobbies, passions, ideologies, etc., because of the taboo surrounding our fetishes, which we keep secret, I imagine.

Stockylove:And the fact that it’s completely unintentional on the part of these cartoons and movies is really funny too.
Biscuitsnhoney:seeeeee idk if that's true 😅😅😅 PBS was the only network untouched by Epstein / Dan Schneider 👀
Cinnamoroll:Funny you mentioned PBS because Arthur had some WG plus vore scenes. I can also remember one stuffing scene from Clifford. And yes, I am ashamed to admit I got my vore kink from Arthur.
Stockylove:Are you talking about that Arthur cartoon? With the antropomorphic animals ?
I used to watch it when I was little too. I don't remember any scenes from Vore or WG, but the cartoon was really good.
Cinnamoroll:Yeah, that Arthur! There was only 2 vore scenes. The first scene is where Arthur for some reason has a nightmare. (it's been a while since I've watched this cartoon) At one point he swallows (unintentionally) his grandmother who is in the form of a talking cake.
The second scene comes from an episode about Arthur having a crush on his baby sitter. He gets devastated that his teenage babysitter is dating a guy. He vent his feelings out by writing a comic where a monster sheep swoops down and eats the babysitter and her boyfriend.
Sadly, I can't find a video of the last scene but here is the screenshot of part of the comic.

There are other weight related scenes but my memory is foggy. For sure there's some involving Buster since he has a big appetite lol.
Indeed, now I understand why some people end up on Fantasy Feeder 😄

There was a cartoon I loved as a kid called Totally Spies. It was so weird, wacky, and funny, but it never gave me any kinks or fetishes.
However, there's a theory that says the creators included a sexual fetish in every episode of the show. Is it true or not? I don't know, but it's true that there were a lot of bizarre episodes, with bodily deformities, or related to bodily functions, when I think about it.
