Why do you want to be shrunk?

@i-am-insane I think for a lot of us there might be an important distinction to make here. Are you asking us why we find the fantasy appealing? Or are you asking why a a character in a story might want to actually shrink?
Because for me, I could tell you all the reasons I love the idea of being tiny, but a lot of it works much much better in fantasy than it works in reality. The fluff stuff might transfer over (like the idea of being comforted and protected and cared for by a giant, that sounds pretty good IRL). I could go on and on about that if you like~
But a big part of my kink side is being dominated - someone else making me smaller and smaller and having their fun with me. The loss of control and the fear itself play a big role for me in that fantasy - but of course, that doesn’t mean I want to be violated in real life. So for a character in a story, I’m not sure that kind of motivation would necessarily work? I suppose you could have a character who has a size kink and so is curious to explore that if she gets the opportunity (and either it’s all sweet and consensual, or she gets in over her head). But if you’re wanting to write a character who doesn’t have the size fixation to begin with but still wants to get small in the story, that might affect her motivations.

…Both, actually.I not looking for a specific thing, per say, I’m looking for a bunch of realistic examples I can use as a base to work with. More than that, I know enough to guess that using porn as a, ‘this is totally how people actually think’ logic is… kinda dumb, especially since I know a lot of porn is made to appeal to men, so I want to ask actual women who actually like this, because while I want what I write to appeal to myself, a man, it doesn’t mean I don’t care if they’re realistic, either.
Example being, the story I’m ruminating on has a man accidental shrink his girlfriend, there’s some big looming that happens at first (BIG looming, she’s micro), he saves her from a thing, unshrinks her… only partially at first, and kind plays with her for awhile, before completely unshrinking her.
Next day, she wants to go again. And from my perspective, I find that hot, I get why he’d like that, etc, but why does she like that? Does she like him having so much power? Does she like losing power? (which, low key, I knew was a thing but until the confirmation in this thread I was doubting myself on.) Is it the gimmick in the story that makes her so interested?
Because the point is she’s just as into it as he is, and I don’t want to project my desires.

@i-am-insane I am curious about that because have struggled to make it work in any of my scenarios. I’ve always loved the idea of a woman being shrunk (accidental or not, against her will) and going through this terryfing experience, yet finding… something incredibly alluring (freeing?) about being tiny and powerless that she never suspected beforehand (i.e. she doesn’t have a size kink per se)
Some people told me this is Stockholm syndrome with a coat of paint, and maybe they are right. Point is, I can’t help but project my own desires when I create scenarios, especially when I self-insert (which is >95% of the time). How I wish the girl I shrank would magically come around and see things my way? Much easier when I can pretend I’m not really a monster hehe
In my case I settled for hints that she might be into it… never laying it bare but giving subtles clues that she’s considering it, and might be discovering something about herself.

Intellectually, I think I get it, it’s just… well. I’m a white guy in the US who is trying to actively pay attention to things; at this point I’ve spent a significant portion of my life actively questioning my desires, the morality of them, and what women actually like, and so on; I’ve spent a lot of time struggling with the puritain style programing in almost all media I consume.
Like. Shit is stressful these days, and a lot of people want to be taken away from having to be concerned about things. A vacation from their lives… like if they’re kept in a well provided hamster cage.
Power is hot. That is a universal thing. Competency and the like, women in well pressed suits or whatever, all follow from that. The thing is I’ve realized is that there seems to be two kinds of it: ‘I want that power, because that is hot’, or ‘I want to fuck that power, because it’s hot’. Where you fall in that spectrum, and in what situations, comes down to your specific desires, I think ( I think a woman who can take charge and run a corporation or group or what not with an iron fist is pretty hot, but I want to be the one who steps on a city, I don’t want anyone else to. I want actual physical power over others, but I don’t desire control over others as much, and perfectly happy being told what to do, within reason, and especially if it’s a hot women doing it. There’s all sorts of flavors to this.)
Like, hell. A couple of days ago I was talking to someone on discord and after I said I always wanted to be the giant monster, she said she wanted to be with the giant monster. Monster fucking, honestly, is basically a step below wanting to be fucked by a giant in a lot of ways, because it features that same kind of power disparity, that you can dominate someone so completely without any props or advantages needed.
So, I know there are women who like this, in all sorts of ways, but there’s so many messages telling me otherwise I thought it would be nice to get it reinforced by actual women that, yes, they actually do like this shit, you know? Beyond that, awhile ago I posted my story on the SW section of GTS world (before I lost my account there, like, three different times, so I think my name on that site is literally ‘i’ now, which is one of the main reasons I never updated there), but someone commented that it felt weird that the SW did a thing, fucked and dominated the smaller SWs, while in my head that made perfect sense because she was trying to feel, even for a moment, like she was in control, and being able to push them around and toy with them made her feel strong. But like. Does that actually make sense??? The doubt really kicks in sometimes.
Side note, but I’m pretty sure Stockholm syndrome was disproved, because the robbers were relatively normal people, and the police were such assholes the people ‘afflicted’ just didn’t want to help them.
Power is choice.

This is correct. The police were incompetent and endangered the lives of the hostages, and afterwards one of the hostages (a woman) told reporters “At least the robbers expressed some concern for our safety.” The police were indignant and smeared the hostages as emotionally unstable and brainwashed by the robbers.
“Stockholm Syndrome” might have been forgotten as baseless slander but a couple of years later the Patty Hearst trial was all over the media and defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey (whom you might remember from the OJ Simpson trial) tried to use a “brainwashing” defense for Hearst, who had actively participated in crimes committed by her kidnappers. The defense failed, but the “syndrome” was implanted in the public consciousness.

@i-am-insane There are so many reasons I want to be shrunk but here are a few.
I think plants and furniture look extremely fascinating when you are shrunk and they look really big from your perspective. It makes you feel as if you are in a magical forest. I also like it because there is more objects to hide under, and having spaces where nobody can find you creates a sense of peace for me. I am really self conscious so being small makes smaller details of you and smells really hard to make out, which makes me feel a sense of comfort.I guess when it comes to danger when being shrunk, I would much rather feel fear as a shrunken person faced with danger than to become gigantic and feel the pain of embarrassment and awkwardness of having my body stand out for everyone to see. I also just really don’t like the thought of people being intimidated of me for my size and would rather be tiny to appear less intimidating. Emotional pain is too much for me and I have a major limit, dying from extreme physical pain seems better to me because at least the pain would be over. And I heard large wounds hurt less than minor wounds because of the loss of neurons.
I am sorry giantess fans, but you made the thought of growing even worse for me with all the art sexualizing them and you being horny towards them.I guess we are just completely different people overall, I don’t understand why some people want to be enormous and you don’t understand why some people want to be shrunk.
Just chillin down here.
Also I only feel comfortable with being tiny.

@i-am-insane I’m glad you brought up Monster Fuckers. It’s an almost mainstream kink among women. I’m a monster fucker too.
My pet theory is that many women who feel a similar subby fantasy attraction that male giantess fans feel, bring that fantasy into monster fucking instead of human macrophilia, for whatever reason. (Maybe because they come across tall men a lot in real life so they find that not particularly exotic? And these tall men were shitty or just mediocre partners? Just spitballing).
I think that if someone made a site or a convention for both mf and macro, and it got popular, you might find a big overlap between macrophile men and monsterfucker women.
Unfortunately most of the people at this theoretical convention would be subs in search of doms, but that seems like a universal trait of kink communities.
-
So, I think you’re saying the main reason that more women aren’t macrophiliacs is, ultimatly, because… they aren’t imagining a giant man, and instead just picture a tall guy or something? Huh.
…There’s a story idea there, I think. Beyond that, not vampires, but I’m pretty sure a lot of werewolve style stories have big, looming guys, so there is that.
Power is choice.
-
Huh. That’s the second time someone’s linked shrinking with safety. I’m not sure what to think of that, but there’s definitely something there. And you want to explore things while small? Interesting.

Spitballing just as much, perhaps they’ve mostly encountered tall men irl who don’t “deserve” their height, who fall short (heh) in other ways, say, by being conceited or taking their advantages for granted. Whereas monsters typically don’t take any affection for granted (they have other issues).
All my M/f stories and discussions can be found here.

@Olo
I’d think it’d be more the other way around, if anything: a lot of size stories I see with giants of any kind have them take them being big and better as a natural state of affairs; that the overwhelming arrogance and confidence seems to make it better. -
the overwhelming arrogance and confidence seems to make it better.
This may seem strange but I dig a giant with arrogance, confidence and smugness
-
@tiny-ivy That’s weird, I’ve seen a lot of tall guys irl and I became a macrophile.
Well I’m not a monster fucker either. So I don’t have said experience. I do think that there is a big overlap between macrophilia and monster fuckers in general. I have seen people who have made macro micro content also make monster people content. I guess giants could fall under the monster people category.
I guess I like giants better because I like tall guys and they are basically tall guys but on a whole another level.
Just chillin down here.

Not quite.
Let’s assume cis-het on both fronts.My pet theory is that cis het men who have a fantasy about being dominated are more likely to imagine the dominator character as a human. Hence the very common giantess fetish.
But that cis het women with essentially the same type of fantasy are more likely to imagine the dominator character as non-human. Hence the pretty popular monster fucker fetish.
I don’t really have a great reason for why. The existence of actual tall men being common in women’s lives is just one idea for why.
Also I’m speaking in general. Of course there are actual cis het women macrophiles! And us trans folks who relate to that experience (hello!) and lots of other types of queer folks with all sorts of other experiences.
but in the wider sense. I’m just wondering aloud why M/f seems like the rarest macro pairing out there.
