@TakoAlice8 I’ve been doing some thinking about this, because I genuinely didn’t feel like my interest with Shrinking Women (or some of the other related kinks) had any connection to my body. I’d always assumed this was springing up from my overactive imagination. This was always a “creative” outlet for me and I saw my interest in it as sort of the adult version of when kids play cowboys and indians. Now the unnecessary autobiography. But I did realize something that might be more like what some folks have talked about. I have always been a big guy. I’m just over 6’ and lift weights, I played a bunch of sports in high school (I was/am built like a lineman not a quarterback). And I have a rather big personality. I guess you could think of my natural disposition as John Rhys-Davies or Brian Blessed, or if you watch anime “that American guy” who is usually a mechanic. I was in theatre and loved the stage, I sing well and play a couple of instruments. But from early on I was constantly being told to be quiet or various other versions of “don’t stand out and don’t take up space”. The church I grew up in was full of people who were salt of the earth small town people, and the culture there was positive but sober. They didn’t like noise or noisy people (we sang acapella with no mics etc). My father (also a big man) constantly cautioned me that my size, my voice, my manner would put people off. He was in sales and had constantly had to temper his own size and personality to be a good salesman. So what did I do? I cranked hard down. After a few years I found that I had formed a habit of constantly dialing down, pulling back, trying to take up less space. Despite my strength I’m constantly frustrated that I hold things too delicately. I touch everything like I’m going to break it. Can you see where this is going? Girls like manliness, of course. But I’ve been programmed for decades that girls are fragile and breakable. So… Oddly enough now that I look at it, I can see the symmetry. If I could shrink a woman, she could enjoy all the intensity she wanted she could be satisfied by the overwhelming experience of masculine energy and I want that for any woman I am intimate with. She can have that even while I’m holding back, holding her like she might shatter. I don’t have to worry about hurting her or scaring her in a bad way, she wants my “bigness”. Anyway, I don’t think that’s why I have the kink, but it certainly is why the kink and others related to it continue to flourish in my imagination year after year.

@The-Big-G https://discord.gg/UKMbDEkz the link to size cons discord full of people that know so much more than me

To answer the original question: around, but not really active, as @i-am-insane said. DD is pretty niche despite having, what is frankly, a pretty broad scope of what type of size content it allows. This is not a criticism; in fact, it is why I personally prefer to come here for my M/f needs, because I don’t need to browse through countless posts that don’t appeal to me. Or have posts being buried under said posts and not getting to the audience I wanted to share with. Unfortunately, that does also mean fewer (active) users and relatively less and regular activity than the larger sites. In saying that, I think activity levels also come in waves. I, as well as others, were regularly posting/sharing things on here about a year(?) ago, but (and I don’t want to speak on behalf of everyone) we slowed, in part, because we had other things going on in our personal lives. It’s very hard for a relatively small group of regulars to keep that momentum up as we dropped off, one by one. So…at the risk of sounding very obvious: I encourage you (universal “you”) to 1) post; 2) keep posting; and 3) don’t be discouraged if you don’t get the hits you want. Building up takes time.

@Jitensha still hot 🥵

@coolguy69 you caught me with that title

@TakoAlice8 The reason I’ve never written M/f “new world order” type stories is because all the ideas seem to turn towards harems. It would seem to end up more M/fff+ Back in the days of the Roman empire men having sex was just seen as a biological function of being male and whatever woman who was nearby was useful for that purpose. The only real issue was answering to her father, brother, or husband, assuming he was of sufficient class or power to demand compensation for his property being damaged. Now I get some folks around here like the darker side of things, and the over the top stuff hits in a good place for people. I suppose one way to do it would be for groups of women to intentionally team up, to look out for each other and find stable relationships that would be more difficult or at least rare with a giant. It might be fun to write something where men grow rather than women shrink and perhaps not a lot of men survive the growing process. That way women at least have numbers to balance out the situation. Perhaps some groups of women have even “tamed” a giant.

@EnormousFreak Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve added tags “Dominant” “Submissive” and “Switch/Shifter” I also added the tag previously suggested “New World Order”. I’m kind of out of the loop on a lot of stuff here on the forum (moved to the other side of the world, about to give birth to my first baby, etc) and my husband who handles the technical side of the forum works for a tech company here in Tokyo. We’re just super busy It’s thanks to our mod @The-Big-G who’s been sharing updates, issues and suggestions with me that I’m able to offer some paltry quality of life updates, as I am rarely on here and not anywhere as tech savvy as my husband lol. If y’all have anything pressing though, please do let @The-Big-G know or e-mail me at jitenshasw@gmail.com Thank you everyone for your patience in this really busy time in our lives

I would totally cum into that aquarium

I’m the cruelest giant I know, hit me up any time : )

@sloppy_amy any time, I myself am a cruel giant.

@RavenRose4242 I am EXTREMELY cruel, dm me, any time.

@EnormousFreak that’s so sexy

Honestly, I get the vibe giants are more common because a giant guy is a rare but still existent movie monster. It puts the concept into people’s minds. Meanwhile, SWs have been phased out, if anything, probably because some people think it’s offensive to women and a larger portion are afraid people will think it’s offensive to women.

@xformbob I’m not sure yet but I might do something in the future; some kinda story. I dunno it just doesn’t seem like my thing to simply write and I usually want something more participatory rather than passive. as for deviantart, yeah I feel that disapointment, try R34 (sometimes has good stuff) and FA if you’re into furry / brony maybe?

@coolguy69 said in Giant Reactions: I love thinking about different reactions for Giants. One is where he knows she is going to shrink - in that case his reaction is going to be to try to hide his intent or that he knows, so he plays it coy and hides all his emotions, but on the inside he’s excited and finds the process really cute. Once she finds out, he smiles more and says lots of sarcastic fun things. Another is when he doesn’t know she’s going to shrink. A current story I’m writing, this is the case - he opens the door to find she has “shrunk” - he would react in a surprised way, but also find it instantaneously cute and adorable that she has. I love the back-and-forth between a tiny and Giant, so as she’s in apparent embarrassment, fear, panic, he’s becoming supportive, gentle, and cooing. And of course there’s the trope where the Giant and tiny are both used to it - she’s already shrunk, he’s already big. In that case, he’s going to be all the things. He’s going to be silly and try to scare her, he’s going to comfort her, he’s going to show affection. So in general he’s going to be smiling a lot and laughing genuinely as she’s freaking out. He’s going to be scared with her when she’s actually in danger and do things to “save” her. He’s going to be (very) mildly upset when she’s trying to get his attention and then give her a “bored” look and put her in his pocket or some other place where she can’t be such a nuisance. It’s basically like being in heaven I am… not this wholesome

@coolguy69 good!
