Fleshing out the term: ‘Fatsexual’
By Enplumpen on March 20th, 2016
Over the past few years, I discovered that I’m Asexual or more specifically Demisexual. Asexual meaning to lack the requirement for sex and the physical side of relationships. With myself being Demisexual, this is similar, but can extend into what Asexuality strays away from, but only when with a partner they have developed a deep trust and affection for. I don’t have sex often and tend to avoid it because it doesn’t turn my gears like it does for other people.
One thing I have noticed over the past year is how I do tend to get turned on by and even lust for Feedism activities. For me it’s more so the weight gain, eating and platonic Feedist friendships that really work for me. This is not to say I start getting off when I eat a donut, more so that I get a rush or a thrill out of it that makes me want to do more of it.
Leading onto this, a recent term that’s popped up quite recently is the term “Fatsexual”. At this point, it’s very much a loose term for someone who derives sexual pleasure or attraction to different aspects of fatness. To further expand upon this one could say it covers the following:
A person who is only attracted to Fat People.
A person who finds pleasure in weight gain in themselves or others.
A person who finds pleasure in the shape, feel, weight and other attributes of fat people and their fatness.
A person who is fat and enjoys the physicality of being fat.
A person who finds pleasure in being around other Fatsexuals and any effects it may have on their own appetite and size.
Labeling myself a Fatsexual is not something I’ve started to own yet, mostly because it’s yet to take up ground within the community. More so, with a community full of unique and different terms, I don’t want to come across as someone making up terms to devalue those more defined ones. However, in the mindset of thinking of this term becoming a future part of the Feedist vernacular, I’d like to brainstorm a bit and potentially get some discussion happening.
So that being said, how would one define a Fatsexual relationship? This could be any of a combination of the above. For example, A girl dating another girl, one is enthralled by food and the feeling of fullness and the other is excited by seeing her partner gain weight and ensuring she is always surrounded by food. While this couple is either Lesbian or Bisexual, would it fit more as Fatromantic - Similar to Heteroromantic or Homoromantic? This only leads us to more questions on the term.
If this were to expand further to a matrix or spectrum, what other terms would there be to cover Sexuality or Romance? Would this extend into Feedist-fluidity for people who come and go between feeder and feedee or just fat? This is such a large topic, I don’t think I could solve it myself. However, I’m excited to see where the term goes and how it’s expanded upon.
