Hello, hope you have a nice day!
I've been thinking about safe practice in feedism and wanted to know if you had some experience you could share on that. I've been struggling constructing anything to go by since a lot of feedism content is just porn lol and mostly aimed at men without much nuance.
Thank you for your time! And thanks for sharing your stuff!
This is such a good question. Thank you for asking it! Sorry for the late reply, I was writing a response (which was probably too long anyways) but windows update fucked me. So, here's an abridged version of what I wanted to say.
Risk-Aware Consensual Kink is a common framework for kink. RACK is about addressing high risk kinks through research and education. I would love to see reliable info around the risks of around feedism, so we can make informed decisions and reduce harm that could come from feedist activities.
Because feedism centers so much around weight gain and over-eating, I think we've gotta start from a position of fat liberation, and that fatphobia in society and the medical industry might overinflate the risks associated with those activities. At the same time, It's not a riskless kink, and there will be the need to wade through a lot of noise to get good info. @bigfatscience has compiled a lot of good info around this.
For more practical advice, here's a few things I've found helpful, and hopefully you too:
A feeder should be willing to demonstrate that a stuffing is safe or humanly possible, before they subject a feedee too it. Yes, I've had a feeder tell me he was going to funnel me lard.
Don't neglect your whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. A well rounded diet usually will help you feel better. I'm not a fan of only fast or convenient food diets. They make me feel terrible.
I've done cake shake chugs twice, and they gave me a massive headache from all the baking soda. I think there's substitutes, but a lot of heavy shakes will give you a similar concrete filled stomach feel without the headaches, and the risk of salmonella. If you still want to do it, at least leave out the egg.
Even if the porn is live action, it's still fantasy and may include editing or camera tricks to exaggerate the stuffing. Some models do, some don't, but it's not a moral issue: it's a style choice. Don't be weird about it, just enjoy (and pay for) your porn.
Variety of food isn't just more enjoyable, it can help you eat more.
Listen to your body, and know your limits.
Staying active and stretching will help most people feel better in their body. If a feedee is trying to get massive, building muscle will keep you mobile longer.
Learn from disability rights activists. Everyone is, at best, temporarily abled. But especially for feedists looking to gain (or have their partner gain) massive amounts of weight, you need to be comfortable with being (or being with someone who is) disabled and meeting the needs that entails.
Do you know what to do if someone's choking? Can safety words be expressed if one's mouth is full?
I'm missing so much, and I'm sure there's discussions to be had, and disagreements about what I wrote. Thanks again for the question, and you've gotten my mind turning over it. Maybe I'll make a new tumblr for it. this is an open call for anyone who would like to work on it with me.
