i have been a part of various kink communities over the decades, and i would agree with your assessment - compared to others, feedism has a higher degree of masc-identifiying participants transitioning to something else. either gender-fluid, or transitioning (either in reality or in their fantasies) into the bbw that they idealized.

i guess i have experienced it personally, to a degree. while i have no intent of transitioning, as i grew from a fit feeder to a ssbhm feedee, gender play definitely became a part of my sex life with my partner. soft, fat flesh definitely leans to being more feminine than taught, lean muscle (i know some bhm will bristle at this, lol). pecs turn to boobs, all of that... when my partner shaved off my body hair, it became even more apparent the growing (pun intended) similarities between my fat body and bbw partners i'd had in the past... and that was a turn-on for both me and my partner.

my theory is that it is all related to the deeply-programmed societal relationship of soft voluptuousness being seen as feminine.... and as these gender standards start to change and shift, it will dissipate. i am a bi-guy with a trans partner, so i see it happening, but it will take a few generations to sink in... so maybe when i am in my 80s?

interesting topic! i wish we had some polled stats to look at to see how kink communities trend.

i was about 150lbs at the start of 2018. i started to gain by accident while dating a fat foodie... based on that initial gain of 25 lbs or so, i thought i would "give it a try" and i took a break from the gym and let myself go above 200.

i *never* thought i would get as big as i am now - i couldn't even imagine it back then! my heaviest was around 475lbs, hard to believe at 450 i had tripled my original size! i am a little less than that now.



totally! it feels to me like i've got to live two different lives, and it has been such an amazing experience.

here is a really good collection on soundcloud, "massively fattening:"

i have found through the course of my adult life that new things turn me on, on a whole bunch of occasions.

part of it is just getting exposed to new things and you learn, oh, i like that! but the other part - which i think is more what you're describing - is that you become more "tuned into" yourself over time (or i hope most people do!), and if you keep yourself open and paying attention, it opens you up to different responses... eating is such an ordinary thing, but if you really pay attention to it and how it feels, it's not always the same...

we used to have several community meet-ups here every year here in toronto before the pandemic. since then there's been fewer, but i've been to two. i think for large cities they aren't uncommon.

congrats to the winners!

(i think the link to the picture needs to be fixed, though)

yes, happy boxing day! i hope everyone is having a great holiday!

this is big for me, too... being touched, held, squeezed, it is totally different than when i was thin.

the feeling of weight, of my body resting on itself, the feeling of how my flesh moves... all of it is such a wonderful thing. one of those things that, before getting fat, i had no concept of.
