I know the topic itself is usually sexual, but for me, I don't always feel sexual about it. My journey is part of me being comfortable with myself and enjoying the food and the journey. Sure I feel some sort of sexual gratification from it sometimes, but not all the time. That and I was thinking about having a relationship(which I probably will make a post about on another forum) that wasn't just sexual. Is that a completely different thing or is it part of feederism? I've only joined the community pretty recently, so I apologize if I may be wrong.

Munchies:
Feedism is, at it's core, about feeding people and being fed. Fat fetishism is all about enjoying fatness.

Both of these things are not inherently sexual.

Plus, this community has a good chunk of sex-repulsed ace people. If they can find their bliss here, so can you.

BigBallBellyGirl:
Completely right. I liked being chubby/fat as a kid, and I liked fat characters in books and TV, long before I had sexual thoughts or feelings. My first grade teacher was a big woman, and I thought she was pretty and sweet.

Same with my husband. He is of course sexually attracted to fat, but he also just finds a full figure visually pleasing in a non-sexual way.

Of course fat admiration, gaining, etc. can be sexy, but that's not all it is. There's a place for everyone here!

Nitchbigger:
I once knew a waitresses who gained 60lbs in 3 months on accident. She was stuffing herself like crazy that holiday season. Lots of food and booz. She had the biggest pregnant looking belly I've ever seen irl by the end of it.

Munchies:
Is this the same person you took candid photos of without her consent and posted online for strangers to oggle?

Because if that's the person I am thinking about, you have got to let her go. This is how you end up with a restraining order.

Weetabix:
Yeah, fat in public people can take photos. Get over it.

Munchies:
Not even what I am getting at.

It's a consent issue. Can't post pics or videos of people and upload them to an adult site for people to goon over without their consent.

That's a crime.

As in go to jail kind of crime.

Weetabix:
I'm not sure it's a crime. Obviously if they were naked pictures but if the person is OK in public then they're not porn.

I expect someone could obtain a court order but until they do it's not against the law.

Munchies:
No, it is, in fact, a crime. In fact, it's multiple crimes at the state and federal level. Even if the picture itself isn't explicit, once you post it to and adult site for people to goon over, it becomes revenge porn

On top of that, the multiple pictures he took (he posted a link to it once ages ago, so I know) constitute stalking and harrassment. To say nothing of the potential privacy and consent laws he broke depending on jurisdiction.

All of this is on top of a civil lawsuit which he would have to pay damages.

There's a reason why Curvage shut down their Candid section and why Pornhub got gutted.

18F, I’m straight but I can like, yknow, appreciate when another woman is attractive even though I wouldn’t screw them. Fat/chubby girls have always been what I think of when I think “pretty” rather than skinny girls. I’ve definitely noticed I’m in the minority but a lot of times I’ll come across a skinny girl and just think “yup, that is indeed a person” but I see a fat girl and I’m like “WTF!? She’s so hot!”. I never got the whole “skinny’s the beauty standard” thing? With fat girls there’s more to hug and cuddle, but that’s just me. There’s a cap for me of course, I don’t think like Tess Holiday is attractive, but someone like super taruco? Idk why that’s not considered hot, she’s so cute! With skinny girls they usually are just, yknow, people to me. Not as interesting as fat chicks. Idk, am I weird for that lol
