Feedism

Feedism refers to an attraction (sexual, romantic, or otherwise) where a person is turned on by the idea of weight gain, either in themselves or someone else. It can be from eating lots of food, or some other means, or a combination of both. Feedists are often turned on by the consumption of large quantities of food or the consumption of very fattening food, and can be turned on by both the immediate and long term after effects of such consumption. Feedism can also be referred to as "erotic weight gain," although asexual feedists may not relate to this label. Feedism used to be be more commonly referred to as "feederism," but some people felt this put too much emphasis on the feeder. Feedism suggests a more equal relationship between the feeder and feedee. There is considerable overlap between feedists and fat fetishism: most feedists have some form of fat fetishism, though fewer fat fetishists are into feeding and growth.
