Having your FFA side activated is no doubt envigorating, but it doesn't necessarily mean that your new friend would be a better long-term partner than your husband. After all, you've just met him - there could be many issues that are no obvious now that turn out to be serious impediments to long-term happiness. My advice would be to slow things down with your new friend so you don't damage your marriage beyond repair before thinking it through.

While behavioral therapy has demonstrated success with a number of mental disorders, with respect to sexual orientation in general, there is little evidence of a permanent effect. With respect to feederism, the literature leans towards case studies, but there is little research on behavioral techniques, let alone data on effectiveness.

In 2007, a task force of the American Psychological Association undertook a thorough review of the existing research on the efficacy of conversion therapy. Their report noted that there was very little methodologically sound research on sexual orientation change efforts (SOCEs) and that the "results of scientifically valid research indicate that it is unlikely that individuals will be able to reduce same-sex attractions or increase other-sex sexual attractions through SOCE."

This fits with my own experience in attempting to change my feedee orientation through 18+ months of therapy, to no effect.

At this point, SOCE is banned in a number of countries, as well as in various states and localities. For more information, see:

Well, I am a feedee and have gained 100 pounds or so from my low adult weight. I monitor my blood work and in my most recent test, my glucose levels have edged above 100, which is a warning sign for pre-diabetes. So even though I would love to put on more weight, I'm going to reduce carbs in my diet and see if the glucose levels normalize.

This might explain why blood chemistry could deteriorate when a gainer reaches a weight plateau. But shouldn't the fat cells replicate, making more fat storage possible and improving bloodwork?

Is it an accident that there are more than a half dozen restaurants within miles of Graceland serving belly-busting meals? No wonder Elvis impersonators keep getting bigger and bigger...

You're talking about the home of Elvis, the inventor of the fried banana sandwich. To get huge, all you need to do is breathe - even the air is fried!

That would be great! How big is she now? 180?

Joint pain can come from different sources. For knees, Glucosamine can help. For the back, swimming can help to stretch things out. However back pain can be alleviated by strengthening muscles in the core. Hip joints can be loosened up through stretching. Losing weight may help but there are lots of skinny folk with pain too, as they get older.

The desire for additional dated can be clearly conveyed by saying you had a good time and would like to see him again. Physical attraction can be conveyed by words - complementing his eyes, contact - brushing his hand with yours, leaning in and sticking out your lips for a kiss, etc.
