@tiny-ivy said in Why do you want to be shrunk?:

but in the wider sense. I’m just wondering aloud why M/f seems like the rarest macro pairing out there.

Oh, that’s easy: because it’s not only the closest to ‘real’, and so not really a fetish as much, the dynamic, of a man overpowering a woman, is becoming more and more frowned upon, societally. Even beyond admitting a flat out fetish, at this point I’d never want to admit this to anyone because, publicly at least, no one wants this. Popular media is set to churn out the opposite, if anything. And so anyone with it is incentivized to hide it.

@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.

@TakoAlice8

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.

@tiny-ivy

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.

She’s made more than this, btw, and half the reason I’m posting this here is that this is, unironically, the only SW/GT ASMR I’ve ever seen, so I’m hoping to boost views and get more of them made.

GTS all over the place, of course.

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.

@littlest-lily
…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.

@skysayl
I’m really sorry for what happened to you.
@tiny-ivy
So, you find the power hot, then? Huh, good to know.

So, I’ve been pondering some story ideas for awhile, but I’ve realized I don’t understand something on a fundamental level, something that’s holding me back from lighter content: ladies, why do you want to be shrunk?

It’s just I need to understand a character’s major motivations to write them well, and I don’t get that. I get it as, like, a means to an end: hot person wants you to shrink (which I get intellectually but only see it in SM content, and don’t get the pull of doing it for a man, though I can get the logic), or it’s to save your life, or your family, or maybe you want to be partake in the never ending orgy of being part of in the lonely and somewhat bored shrunken harem of a giant big enough and with enough other bodies to easily lose track of you in the crowd (which is something I’m exploring in a few different flavors).

I can figure out how a SW might use being an SW, and maybe even enjoy parts of it (a cupcake big enough to sleep on!), but so much of my SW logic process revolves around a fight for control against the reality of the situation: use the Big for protection from the world. Make the Big like you so they don’t abandon you. Make the Big want you so they don’t hurt you. Bully a smaller SW so you feel big for awhile.

All of that tracks. But clearly, there’s an element of pleasure to it, something that makes people go, ‘I’m fine giving up my ability to actively do what I want, and instead give my life and death into the hands and involuntary movements of someone else’, or even just ‘all of that happened to me and it’s actually super hot!’

What am I missing?

Half the fun of this fetish is the creativity: it’s easy to hold them, easy to touch them however. But making them like it?

I’ve said this before, but all fetish stuff aside, all the stories… the thing I really want to do with a SW is cuddle. Just… just cuddle. Preferably without her having clothes, as much on a, ‘wow she’s hot’ kind of level as much as the fact it’d probably make it easier to not get them pulling to tight on her on accident, but I just yearn for a good SW cuddle.

Any cruelty and so on is just kink, not something I actually want to do, beyond roleplay.

I’ve always been fond of the ‘paint the SW like she’s a model figure’ dynamic.

As a giant imagining a tiny?

Someone who would be happy with it, ultimately, or at least could be happy being kept by me while shrunk and/or being a tiny

It doesn’t have to be, ‘Oh my gosh, I shrunk, this has always been my fantasy!’ (honestly, that always throws me off because it seems so unlikely), but trapping and keeping a tiny woman and having her spend the entire time miserable and afraid is just… not my taste, you know?

Maybe she does like it, just not to some overwhelming degree. Maybe she’s tired of her life, and wants to be spoiled with no responsibilities. Maybe she just comes from bad situation and my decent treatment makes her like me. Maybe she’s so small that her entire life is in that aquarium (preferably with some equally attractive friends), and she doesn’t even see me as a person, almost, as much as a background object/sentient force of nature that gives food sometimes.

Hell, maybe she has a tiny house in the house, instead of a guest room, and we’re room mates or something.

@Olo
Honestly, rather than, like, flat out porn or something, I’d like something that’s just… a tiny SW among normies. Maybe there’s a colony with built up dwellings, or maybe she’s the only one, but something almost… exploration focused, really.

Getting from Point A to Point B, using a mix of running, tools she or friendly giants have set up, and parkor, learning to get there faster and more efficiently.

Like Death Stranding if it has Assassin’s Creed style parkor, maybe.

Oh, and a climbing a person mechanic, like in God of War or whatever, but instead of trying to kill the giant, she’s hitching a ride: maybe she has a hook of some kind to attach to laces, for example, so she running jumps onto a moving foot. Or she approaches someone while their sitting, and attaches something more stable to their pant leg or shoe before they start moving, though that requires getting to somewhere with a sitting giant in the first place…

There’s a real place for a sort of simulator like that, built around improving skills and experience, as long as they do it right.

Alternatively, there’s a giant walking around a (probably kind of destroyed city/civilization), and the MC basiclly uses them to help survive, even though they don’t know she exists, with much of the same mechanics, but done on ruined building instead of furniture and whatnot. Maybe after a certain point get to bribe them to… like, break a building in the way or some such, in exchange for… whatever it is they want?

I saw this and it made me think:

It’s not size fetish related, it’s mostly about monsters, but size discussions always lead me there, in the end.

(It’s interesting, watching it, but they talk about size as a horror element, and they focus a lot on them as bosses, a thing that is inherently defeatable, because almost always those bosses are limited to clumsily attacking you, one hand/paw at a time, slow looming attacks dead easy to dodge. Their big, but they’re so limited it makes them less, really. I’ve found that games that are less combat focused, like Pikmin, Mr. Mosquito, or Gun Gun Pixie, explore size better, because it emphasizes how small you are, and how much you can’t actually match any of the giants around you. Do stuff to them? Effect them? Sure. But defeat them? Nope.)

Fear of big things feels like it’s some that’s connected to size fetish, at least on the ‘I’m the small’ end of it. It makes me wonder: for those on that end of the size pool, how much of it is megalphobia, is fear of those giant things, and people, around you?

I can say that, from my end, that I would like to be able to inspire that kind of fear with my existence.
