I definitely think it’s worth bringing the kink up to the therapist. Regardless of what type of role it plays in your metal health, if it’s an important part of it then I think it would be good to mention.
You should feel proud of getting the help you need though. It seems like so many people here have had great results from therapy. I hope you have the same experience. 
@giantmaneddie I can accept magic, shrink rays, mythological creatures, giant mechs, etc. but I demand an explanation about these very mundane details!
@foreverlurk said in Have you ever had a "size interaction" in real life?:
Being 5’8" means never getting comments on my height, I’m just average as average can be.
Same. No comments teasing how cute and small I am, or anyone telling me I have beautiful long legs. Just fading into average height obscurity. 
As for childhood games, I definitely convinced my friends to play a lot of “pretend” about being fairies and stuff. 
@Nyx said in What small details really elevate size content for you?:
Giant eyes peering through a window, the pupils constricting at the sight of the smaller person.
Oh wow. Any predator-like description really triggers the animal part of my brain. 
This goes for growling, drooling, having to pause to gain control of themselves… I’m so depraved.
@TakoAlice8 First and foremost, I’m so sorry you’re having difficulties with body image. Your health is the most important thing, and as long as you’re leading a healthy lifestyle and communicating with your doctor, your shape and size are perfectly fine.
If you feel this is causing you a lot of distress in life, it might be a good idea to speak to a professional? Genuine body dysmorphia is a common thing, but it is important to address if it is having a negative effect on you.
As far as fantasy goes, I am strictly in the shrunken woman role. I get extremely uncomfortable imagining myself as the larger half in a size interaction. I know that’s very dramatic (I like to think of myself as pretty laid back normally), but for some reason this particular dynamic feels way too awkward. It’s even more strange because I enjoy good giantess content! I just can’t insert myself into the role. I have no idea why this is.
As for real life dysmorphia? I don’t really experience any when it comes to size. I’m at a very average height and ideal weight, so I don’t really feel “too big” or “too small.” Growing up I was always one of the tallest girls in class, which made me feel pretty insecure at that age. You would think that might be the source of this fascination of mine, but I was dreaming about size stuff looong before I started noticing things I didn’t like about my body. 
My younger self would be happy to know I stopped growing around middle school. Unfortunately, my adult self wishes I had longer legs. 
Which I guess brings me to my next point.
I don’t really associate size kink with real life height or weight, because the two are completely separated in my mind. Imagining myself as a giantess is very unpleasant, but I wouldn’t mind gaining a few inches to have modelesque legs. I don’t have a strong height preference for men- I’ve been into guys that towered over me, and guys that were shorter than me. When I’m coming up with stories and imagining the characters, I like to imagine them as all shapes and sizes. Rarely does it have a big influence on the plot- I just enjoy thinking of what is most fitting aesthetically.
The size I want to be in my fantasies is completely divorced from reality, so no realistic size is going to do anything for me.
Sorry for writing so much, but I think this is a very interesting topic! Thank you for posting! I hope my response was a little bit insightful. 
But if you are ever feeling down about this sort of thing, feel free to reach out. Unfortunately, there’s not a whole lot people can say to make someone with body dysmorphia feel better. But sometimes it is nice to just talk and get things off your mind.
Typically I just daydream about stories I want to write, but sometimes I’ll have the most random thoughts as I go through my day. They seem pretty typical for this community though, so here’s a weirder one I’m wondering if any of you can relate to: I love imagining peoples reactions to size content. Good or bad, I’m just fascinated by people’s thoughts on it (beyond the “wow how strange!” part). Like how into it would they be? What role would they want to play? How would they feel towards someone who was really into it?
And I don’t mean this in a way where I’m trying to project my own fantasies onto them, or hope they’re going to love it as much as I do. It is just a genuine fascination. I don’t have the guts to bring it up to anyone though. 
@foreverlurk Poor guy was just trying to show her some wholesome size art he made and she had to go make it sexual.
@littlest-lily Hey, if things like vampires and werewolves can become some of the most popular romance stories out there, why not size-related things?
I think Minami-kun works so well because the goal is to get Chiyomi back to her normal size, so general audiences are rooting for their relationship knowing that. Meanwhile, they can enjoy the adorable interactions, and the size difference grows on them a bit.
@SmolChlo That scene is a classic. I’m not into giantesses either but I can definitely appreciate good content of it!
Although I’m imagining I’m showing that scene to a guy I’m explaining this to, it backfires, and he discovers he has a giantess fetish…
I feel like the whole office setting is underutilized with M/f. There’s so much potential! 
@foreverlurk said in Watching Others Watch Size:
Of course, I was rooting for her to remain tiny. That’s why I love the 2004 version were she stays small but they are together and well at the end.
Oh yes~ of course people in our community felt differently about it!
I’ll have to check out the 2005 one (all of them really!). I’ve only seen the 2015 one which was fabulous.
@Olo When I was a little kid I decided I would model my first home after those hamster cages with the crazy tunnels and wheels and stuff. My style of decor has changed quite a bit over the years, but ngl those things still look so fun.
Gotta say I’m a true neutral. I love a more intimate experience.
I think that’s why I’m not the biggest fan of growth scenarios. That’s too many people my giant is interacting with and I get jealous. 
@Olo said in I found a crumb of M/f in a manga:
Oh dear. I need to start posting while drunk more.
We need a SW drinking game, fictional or meta. Sounds like a fun concept. Should probably get some thimbles though.
