Plus, beauty is subjective! Which is why I think some writers will leave out descriptions. They’ll imply the giant is attractive and what that means is up to you and your preferences.

This was my initial instinct when I first started writing Size stories, but I quickly changed my mind for two reasons.

Interior monologues are too important to erotica not to include the POV character’s opinions on the physical attributes of the character they’re having feelings about. Those little details are going to take on greater significance as the protagonist reflects on what it’s like to be near them (or separated from them). If the reader is just too repelled by the giant’s mustache or beer gut, well, you can’t please everybody.

Similarly, another well-known trope of erotica/romance is that emotional attraction often precedes physical attraction, and attributes that might be insignificant or even unattractive on a dating app or in a singles bar become endearing or even arousing later in the relationship.

Reasons specific to Size: being overwhelmed by a giant’s physical attributes is a central experience in size fantasy. How they smell, the texture of their skin, the color and style of their hair, the clothes they wear (and enclose tiny POV characters), how their voice sounds to tiny eardrums—it’s not a Size story without these details.

Another aspect of Size that is important to me is that tinies can’t be choosers. Meaningful consent is an elusive beast in all but the most gentle Size stories, and becoming acclimated to the tiny role in a mixed-size relationship includes accepting all the physical realities. That process of acceptance is a crucial element of this genre.

if the giant is a handsome, strong and tall 20-something, it makes it harder for my early midlife self to insert.

It’s getting harder and harder for me to write college-age characters the farther I get from those years. It’s not just that I don’t know the current slang, I don’t even know how they hook up any more.

@smolchlo Is that face not the Green Man?

@foreverlurk I’m not a 3D render artist, so I don’t know what models are available, but I’d like to see more normal-looking people in Size renders. Plain faces, higher BMI, and older folks. Enough with the boobs that look like helium dirigibles. Bring back gravity.

What the Christians are really missing out on is Beltaine. Maypoles are fun, and that holiday is all about the screwing.

@littlest-lily I mean, the term “the male gaze” originated in film studies and I’ve seen it much more in reference to visual arts. That’s part of why I asked: its application to text seemed less obvious to me.

I’ve complained about this before; search on Subject for “Sex Objects.” Unlike textual depictions, visual representations have to be specific about the objects of their gaze(s). For better or worse, the bottom line remains: if we want more gratifying representations of giant men in M/f art, more tiny straight women need to make it.

@foreverlurk Great idea! A French tiny wouldn’t be able to understand a thing in Quebec.

@protect-tinies I barely know when I’m going to sneeze. How the hell am I supposed to predict when she’s going to sneeze?

@mrgoblinging7 Once you realize that the tongue acts like a surrogate for its owner, the interaction becomes much more intimate.

@SmolChlo I had never heard that before, but it gets lots of google hits so it must be a thing.

I’ve never been able to hold a sneeze and I’m not sure I want to. Post-sneeze clarity is too good.

@mrgoblinging7 A C-note? She’s worth ten large, easy!

For me the chief attraction of unaware stories is seeing the internal thoughts and feelings of a tiny woman when she’s not trying to placate or otherwise perform for a Biggo. What she really wants, fears, and desires, as opposed to what she thinks he wants to hear.
