Freaky Fridays: Feeder/Gainer

So its the end of the work week, which means that not only do you get to stay home tomorrow, if you have a a big kid job that is, but it also means it's FREAKY FRIDAY and I love writing for this gig so, so, so much that even though I'm vacationing in Atlanta, taking in an stupefyingly awesome and original music festival, I'm still going to drag my ass out of bed and write something for all my favourite perverts.

I've only been here a day, and even though I grew up in the United States I've noticed something that I guess just kind of escaped me during my childhood, but most medical experts will agree on. 

America is fat. 

Its okay to be over weight. Obese individuals are still human beings and deserve respect, but it's also a serious health issue for adults and children. The US with its abundance of monetary and natural resources has clearly fetishized eating on a massive scale. 

The whole North American continent has a real hard on for consumption in general. The consumption of fuel, consumption of consumerist goods, and now, the consumption of literal consumption. 


It seems, for the most part, to be subconscious, and more of a reflection of western society then a common eroticism, but like everything else on the planet there are people who take sexual satisfaction in weight gain and obesity. 


Individuals eating to get large, and the people who encourage it, are all part of the kinky feeder/gainer community.

Its a wonderful extension of the general fat fetishist populace and typically common in the gay male culture. Gluttony might be a sin, but here at THE DIRTY WORD we're pro-sin as well as pro-fat.

Feederism, as its called, consists of two key players. The feeder and the gainer. There are a few variations on these titles, but on the whole this seems to be the correct general vocabulary. 

The gainer, who usually, but not in all cases, starts out already overweight, typically sets a general goal, or target weight to gain over a relatively short period of time. They will eat deliberately large portions of food, usually unhealthy, until they roll up to their intended body load.

A useful and more health conscious alternative for a potential gainer, especially with a less then enthusiastic, but accommodating partner, is to practice, what is called, stuffing. Stuffing is when said person eats so much that their stomach becomes distended. Its quick, easy, relatively healthier and I'm pretty sure I participated at the last all-you-can-eat sushi night I went to.

The feeder, or encourager, does exactly as their name suggests. They feed and encourage the process. They are a group that might be of any body type, skinny or fat, but have, for some reason or another, erotisized the gainer's process, and its results. As long as both parties are agreeable to the goals set there is no reason immediate reason for alarm.

There are 2 main issues that arise. The first being the most obvious, health. A gainer can their body under incredible strain, obese people suffer more heart attacks, have higher instance of diabetes, and are more then likely to have problems ascending a non escalatorial staircase. 

The second has more to do with the feeder and their influence over the gainer. The feeder has fetishized weight gain, and once the original goal is reached, the feeder may want to continue the exercise, or lack there of. Boundaries must be established and respected by both parties.

I am genetically built to be skinny, no doubt. I have no compulsion or urge to grow much larger. In fact, I'd probably develop some serious body image issues over the whole thing, if I ever did put on a substantial amount of weight, but my, and others, aversion to weight gain doesn't preclude the fatties from not just a sex life, but a life style that, in ways, celebrates their bodies.


Every person body will slowly begin to sag with age anyway, so we should all prepare for the inevitable.
