ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fat fetishism

Fat fetishism, also known as feederism or gaining, is when someone is sexually attracted to people who are overweight or obese. It's like having a favorite color or food but instead, it's a preference towards larger body sizes.

Just like how people have different tastes in music or clothes, some people are attracted to larger bodies because it makes them feel happy and good. They might enjoy the way a person's body looks, feels, or moves, and they find it exciting and arousing.

However, it's important to remember that people should always respect others and their choices, and that everyone deserves to feel loved and accepted regardless of their body size or shape. It's also important to prioritize consent and healthy boundaries in any sexual relationship.
