Another Size Kink Article

@foreverlurk Luckily, in defense of the article, the experts and personal experiences state it could be from more serious childhood experiences, OR something as innocent as a TV show. Which I think is reasonable.
Hehe seriously some experts really like to claim we’re all from the same basket. I guess my point is more that they are inferring the actual cause as being related to those TV shows or traumas, or some parental issues growing up. Their sources are non-existent or purely based on their own observations, aka “trust me bro”.
To be fair judging by the doctor’s TikTok he seems mostly versed in the shrunken men/giantess fetish.

Excellent article! I love when normies stumble upon size content and decide to take a little trip down that rabbit hole. I agree with Dr. Kort, I’ve had thoughts of shrinking before I was blessed with movies like Fern Gully and Thumbelina. Both of my parents are dominating and pretty mean so fantasies like shrinking down and running under my bed or hiding within a tiny space where their hands couldn’t fit was a creative way for me to cope. Everyone has different experiences and interpretations of the world around them. I will say that I’m very grateful I developed such a unique fetish, I wouldn’t trade it for anything

Personally, I’m skeptical of the claim that “these guys were dominated by women from an early age, so they eroticized their pain and turned it into pleasure.” That’s one possible explanation, but it could also be pure coincidence. We’re not hearing from all the guys who were dominated by women and DIDN’T develop a size kink, so we don’t really have any group we can use for comparison. I think most men who had these unpleasant childhood experiences probably wouldn’t be very forthcoming about it when talking with strangers or acquaintances…UNLESS they were trying to come up with a possible explanation for why they developed an unusual fixation. Searching for answers to that question might cause you to go to places where you wouldn’t otherwise go.
My mom was very domineering and controlling (and still is), and my sister took after my mom. As a kid, I was frequently dominated by both of them to varying degrees, even though my sister was two years younger than I was. I hated every second of it. I didn’t develop an interest in giantesses or being dominated. To this day, the thought of being dominated or degraded by a woman is a MASSIVE turn-off for me. Instead of being interested in giantesses, I had an interest in protecting tiny women (I’m definitely not a switch). I think I had this interest by the time I was six, if not younger, and I don’t remember it being triggered by a particular event or a particular piece of media.
Anyway, my childhood experience was somewhat similar to the experiences reported by these male GTS fans, and my interests went in completely the opposite direction, compared to theirs. I realize that I’m a minority in the size community, though. I also realize that my experience could be an exception, and exceptions don’t necessarily disprove the theory.

It is soooo refereshing to have somebody covering size fetishes ACTUALLY dwelve deep into the community and talk to people with the fetishes. All the articles I have seen did not interact with people with the fetish and just judged it on old research which didn’t cover all demographics of people with the fetish. These articles didn’t actually engage with the size community unlike this one right here.
I still kind of wish there was an article that talked about minorities in the size community but I know that will be a very long way from here.
-
@TakoAlice8 well how do you think minorities are affected by size fetishes? I’m just curious as I have never thought about it like that
-
@TicTacLover-0 Alice can speak for herself, but I suspect that by “minorities in the size community” she meant people who aren’t primarily oriented toward the “majority” configuration (seemingly F/m).
-
@Olo if that is true, that makes more sense. As I was thinking I would enjoy a lovely little doll regardless of her ethnicity!
-
@protect-tinies Yeah, that explanation sounds like armchair psychology, just like the other common one that says “women aren’t into giant men because men are already bigger and stronger than them”.
I wouldn’t call my parents domineering at all. I had a babysitter a couple of times who might fit that description, but that happened too late to explain my interest in size stuff.
-
Onto the whole minority thing separate tangent but do any others who do art or write stories feel uncomfortable about adding minorities to the shrink fiction. Like personally I’m happy to have a tiny sex toy no matter where she hails from but in that I also feel uncomfortable writing about said desire as I feel I’m delving into the great white saviour/enslaver troup or is that just me. Am I wrong to feel this way about desiring vanilla,chocolate and or caramel when it comes to my tiny ladies

What if the kink also started from just sheer , sexual awakening, per / teen- teen years. to be wanted , desired or cared for. ( the tiggers for it could be as easy as - it’s small , and I could get away with it ,like sneak a cookie from the jar ) ^*
Any young creative artistic mind, could come across an image or situation and reframe the view.
Like, laying on the beach looking up and seeing a woman/man walk by and appear giant . ( perspective )Or see lingerie adds in a catalogue , where some images/ models are displayed at different sizes .( Mosaic of images. And make that leap .
A oversized ad 20-30 foot , fashion, cosmetic ad in the streets, as one walks by.
Not everything has to stems from trauma I think.

As for the interracial size differences , let’s enjoy them, white brown black all wonderful “shades”. , Sure the first story/ collage might feel a bit awkward, but it’s all kinky fantasy.
And each can bring a fun cultural background , and yes sometimes stereotype too. But that’s half to fun. And adds depth to the encounter.

Happy weekend everyone ,

To be honest, that’s part of the reason I tend to be vague about what people look like in my stories (unless they’re inhuman in some way, in which case it’s fair game); if I’m making them all white, am I assuming somehow? Should I be more inclusive? If they aren’t white, well, it’s the ‘I feel awkward about fantasying about oppressing women’ thing in a whole new direction.Leaving it vague lets people fill it in in their heads more, which is also good since I don’t usually have a picture of said SW in my head beyond, ‘she’s hot’, and committing to the details means I have to, well, commit.

That’s good ways to leave it open and let the reader , fill in their ( actors / actress )

This issue comes up frequently both in general fiction as well as in smut. In general fiction the main concern is avoiding stereotypes and unintentional racism (often due to ignorance of historical or social context). In smut there is the additional hazard of fetishization of race (even while we’re fetishizing size). Finally, not everyone agrees on racial categories and terminology, so it is perilous to assume your readers share your perspective.
On the other hand, readers like descriptions, particularly when it comes to characters they’re going to be spending a lot of time with. In longer works, a character’s racial/ethnic background may factor in the theme or plot, which requires a complex awareness of multiple perspectives lest the readers spot the author’s ignorance or prejudice. In stroke fiction, of course, physical details are the meat (heh) of the action.
A common mistake is to avoid using any racial/ethnic identifiers at all. The pitfall here is that you run the risk of all your characters being presumed to be white, straight, cis, able, skinny, neurotypical, etc. If you only give physical descriptions to POC or LGBTQ+ or disabled characters, you’re perpetuating the Marked/Unmarked problem. In my earlier work, I have tried to thread this needle by being scanty with physical descriptions but using “ethnically-pronounced” character names to smuggle in ethnic identities. I now regret this practice.
Another concern that requires sensitivity is the issue of representation. Everyone deserves to see themselves in art and literature, and that includes size smut. If they can do it on Bridgerton, we can do it in Size Fantasy. Of course, in visual arts you can easily include all sorts of different-looking people without making it look like diversity for diversity’s sake. In text it’s a little more pronounced, especially if you’re only mentioning physical details for characters in Marked categories.
Finally, one of the chief uses for written smut is letting the reader project themselves upon or at least strongly sympathize with one or more characters. Making the characters “too” specific might create an obstacle for readers who are distracted or disappointed by a certain detail. “I was really into this story until I read that the giant had a goatee. I hate those.” Fortunately, size pervs have a lot of practice with mentally editing smut so it accommodates their preferences.
There’s no easy answer to this except to be attentive and careful and to read stories from a wide range of sources. If you want to write about a character with an unfamiliar background, try to find a test-reader who has that background to help you avoid glaring errors (if you don’t know anyone with that background, reconsider giving it to your character).

One easy tip: Avoid food metaphors for people or the color of their skin (even when you’re writing vore).
