>>12012288I have a fat fetish as well, most likely way more extreme than yours - indeed, I'm the most extreme lipophiliac and feeder I know. Every girlfriend I've ever had has put on weight because of my encouragement, whether just a little chubbier or really let themselves blow up. At least one of them that I know of, last time I heard, continued to gain, is completely addicted to Coca-Cola, and she's now in a mobility scooter, all thanks to me. My wife has very recently gotten to the 500-lb. mark, and we plan on rendering her so obese that she's permanently bedridden by her weight and has to be taken care of 24/7. I enable and pamper her rotten; she hasn't lifted a finger without my say-so since getting married.
I do this because the sexual thrill for me is inhumanly unbelievably intense. There is a strong undercurrent of BDSM urges in the feederism community; however, it is difficult to pinpoint which one - the feeder or the feedee - is the dom and which the sub. There are plenty of couples in which the feedee is submissive and the feeder dominant (e.g. my wife and I), and vice-versa. Fat fetishes exists for the same reasons other fetishes exist, and every individual has their own rationalizations for their fixations.
That said, if you're looking for a neuroscientific perspective, I don't have much to offer as I am not an expert on anyone's fetishes except my own. All I know is that I've never been attracted to anyone except humongously morbidly obese women. I don't believe my attraction to fat blobs was environmental any more than being gay or straight is a choice. You could certainly do some searching around online to see if there's any literature about the brains of a fetishist confronted with the objects of his desire, measured with fMRI or CAT scans, see which lobes are more active.
