@coolguy69 Yes, I do relate. I’m a straight guy, and everyone expects straight guys to be extremely into nudity and sexual content. But I’m “weird.” I’m generally not a fan of NSFW size content, although there are exceptions to that rule. When I DO enjoy the NSFW stuff, it’s not for the reasons you would expect…I usually enjoy the non-NSFW elements of it. And I’m also not into nudity…I prefer tinies to be clothed. (Although it can be great when a woman shrinks out of her clothes and has to wear makeshift clothes…depending on what the makeshift clothes are!) Strangely, I don’t consider myself to be asexual at all…I feel like my preferences would be less weird if I WERE asexual! At least then it would be “expected.”

And yeah, I don’t like cruel stuff at all (although lighthearted teasing and being “fake mean” to the tiny can be fun). There are a number of things in size content that are turnoffs for me, like tiny men, furry stuff, bodily functions, etc., and cruelty or sadism is definitely one of my turnoffs. The idea of being on either the giving end or the receiving end of ACTUAL mistreatment or meanness or anything truly degrading–either in fantasy or in real life–just makes me feel disgusted.

So I guess we’ll say my tastes are very “soft.” If super-violent, rapey size content is hard liquor, then I’m the one drinking a virgin strawberry daiquiri. (Interestingly, I don’t drink alcohol at all in real life, and I never have. I wonder if there’s some sort of relationship between my habits and preferences in one area of life and my proclivities in other areas. There probably is…at least a tiny bit.)

@SmolChlo said in Luxurious Enclosures:

My dear friends of Papa’s Dollhouse, the silence was so painful and after a lengthy pause he explains that he simply enjoys building miniature structures as a hobby and nothing more. He then proceeded to nervously ask me what I was talking about and if I had a preference?? to which I replied I have a desire to be 4” tall. His face was slowly starting to turn red, leaning closer he whispered “why”

I have to say, his response makes me suspicious! Normally, I’m the type who believes you shouldn’t read too much into these things and that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. That may be the case in this particular situation. But if this is ONLY a hobby for him, why did he get so uncomfortable? Why did HIS face turn red when YOU blurted out a confession? HE didn’t have any reason to be embarrassed, presumably. It sounds like maybe this IS more than just a hobby for him and he was afraid that his secret was about to be inadvertently exposed. Like, if someone asked ME a question about size fantasy, I think I’d probably react the way this guy did. I’d probably deny that I had any interest in sizey stuff at all and play dumb while turning red and becoming very awkwardly quiet and thinking “Oh crap oh crap oh crap! I’ve given myself away! They’re going to figure it out!”

Or it’s possible that he’s just one of those sensitive people who experiences secondhand embarrassment very strongly.

But anyway…I’m not saying he’s a closeted macrophile or microphile. I’m just saying he acted the way I would expect a closeted macrophile or microphile to act. LOL.

The same personality types I like in real life: sweet, submissive, possibly shy (but not so shy that it’s impossible to interact with her), childlike (not childish).

And I’d definitely prefer if she enjoys being tiny, or at least doesn’t hate it once she’s had a chance to get used to it and get past the initial shock and fear.

@The-Big-G Never too smol for puns!! (If this joke even qualifies as a pun…)

@SmolChlo Hot and cold…so, room temperature?

(I’m a terrible person.)

@BryTheGuy Yes and no. I like the idea of the micro-sized shrinking, but once they enter the human body, it kind of kills the potential for interaction. Tinyness without interaction seems like “theoretical tinyness” rather than “tinyness in practice.” It’s like being a parent…if I’m the father of a child who I’ve never met, and I don’t even know my child exists, does that make me a parent? Technically, yes, it does. In theory. But not in any real practical way.

When the tinies are actually inside someone’s body, it doesn’t really “feel” like they’re tiny. It feels like they’re explorers on an alien planet, because the stuff they’re interacting with isn’t stuff that we recognize from our everyday lives. It’s alien. If the tinies are thumb-sized, we have a reference point for their tinyness, because ordinary objects like pencils are now significantly larger than they are. But when the tinies are inside a human body and surrounded by giant red blood cells, we don’t have an obvious reference point for their tinyness. It’s like the question about the tree falling in the forest…

This isn’t related to roleplaying or size stuff specifically, but I would disagree with the idea that cheating is the point when you romantically desire someone else more than your partner. The thing about desire is that it’s not really something we can consciously control. I think it’s very unrealistic to expect that you will never see or encounter anyone who seems more desirable to you than your partner in some way, especially considering that there are eight billion people on this planet. What are the odds that the person you chose to build a relationship with is going to always and indefinitely be the most desirable person in the world to you? Very, very low. Plus people change, and relationships change over time, so you can’t expect desire to remain absolutely constant. That’s why long-term relationships are based on commitment and not on desire alone. That’s why it used to be so hard to get a divorce: it was meant to deter married people from abandoning their commitments just because they were having a bad day or a bad year, or because they saw a hot person in a bar and became infatuated.

I think there’s a world of difference between desire and action. I might hate my boss, and I might desperately want to wring his neck, but does that make me a murderer or a violent person? No. I’m not guilty of violence unless I act upon my desires, or unless I start making a plan to hurt my boss and I intend to follow through on that plan. When desire turns into action or serious intention, that’s when the line has been crossed. It’s the same way with cheating or with other “crimes.” Desire alone does not equal guilt.

Desire is involuntary, but action is voluntary. Action is something you can control, but desire is generally outside of your control…that’s the key difference. Why am I harping on this? Partly because I don’t want anyone to beat themselves up for something they can’t control. I don’t want anyone to beat themselves up for having perfectly natural and understandable desires that every human has. But the other reason is that I don’t want to see anyone use desire as an excuse. If you believe that having certain desires automatically makes you guilty, then it’s easier to rationalize certain behaviors to yourself. You might think, “I’m already guilty of cheating, because I desire someone else more than my partner…therefore I might as well do what my desires tell me to do, since I’m guilty either way!”

Personally, I like to store them using the Russian Nesting Doll (or Matryoshka) method! Put one tiny woman in your pocket. Then put an even tinier woman in in the first tiny woman’s pocket. Then put an even MORE minuscule woman in the TINIER woman’s pocket! And so on, up to infinity…

@foreverlurk Yeah, my “hints” were anything but subtle…that’s why they were successful. The only part that was subtle was the “kink” part. I started by offering to shrink these girls and take them away from all their problems and obligations and keep them in my shirt pocket. Of course, it was said in a cute, romantic way, not in a “I’m a weirdo who has a deep dark secret” kind of way. Then I ran with that scenario, shared the music video and said “Look! Someone made a documentary about your life!”, etc. Generally speaking, this stuff is not going to be weird unless you MAKE it weird. Haha.

Yes, I have had size interactions in real life, but I was the one who initiated them, so I’m not sure if that still “counts.”

I’ve romantically/flirtatiously roleplayed size stuff with more than one girl I was potentially interested in. I did it in a normie-friendly, playful way, not in a kinky-sounding way or in a way that would set off a normal person’s creep-o-meter. I never told them it was a kink or a special interest of mine or anything like that, because:

• A) Why make it weird or awkward when it doesn’t need to be?
  (Also, I wouldn’t want someone to feel pressured to play along, or to like something just because I like it.)
• B) It’s an impossible fantasy anyway, with no chance of ever happening in real life, so why would they need to know?

When I did this roleplaying, there were a couple girls who got really, REALLY into it. They embraced being tiny and loved every second of it (and embraced the idea of staying tiny indefinitely). No, I don’t think they had a size kink, and I don’t think they were sexually turned on by the sizey stuff itself…I think they just really enjoyed the emotions (and the flirtation) that came with the fantasy. I think it’s a fantasy that speaks to something pretty universal in the female psyche, which is the same reason why Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey became so mega-popular. I never got a negative response from any of the girls I tried it on. Maybe a couple neutral responses, but most of the time, the responses were either positive or VERY positive.

@littlest-lily Blurry Pepper is best Pepper! Not because she’s ugly or anything. Just because the concept is adorable.

(Seriously, there’s an untapped “blurry tinies” market.)

@Olo I should probably clarify what I said earlier, since I didn’t include a lot of nuance or detail. My fault.

I think the statement that “women need to respect a man in order to feel attracted to him” is a lot like the statement that “men are taller than women.” They’re both generally true, but they’re not a hundred percent true a hundred percent of the time. Most men are taller than most women, but there are certain women who are taller than certain men. There are exceptions to almost every “rule,” and every large group of people includes certain individuals who are outliers. I’m sure there are certain women who are very low on the “needing to respect a man” axis.

There are some women who have developed a very strong fear of men because of experiences they had when they were young. If a woman spent her entire childhood being raped by male family members, I think she’s more likely to protect herself as an adult by seeking out a man who’s “beneath” her and therefore less threatening. Also, if a woman is a literal sociopath or narcissist, or if she has certain other mental disorders (like paranoid schizophrenia, maybe), then normal psychology won’t really apply to her. Those are just a couple factors. I still believe that women’s sexual attraction to a man is primarily based on respect, but I also recognize that the idea is a bit more complicated in practice than it is in theory.

My size identity is “normal human size,” so no, my size identity doesn’t affect my body image. I’m 5’10", which is pretty average. Boring answer, I know.

@TakoAlice8 said in Does your size identity affect your body image?:

I hope you can see, obviously I identify strictly as a tiny

No, I CAN’T see…because you’re just so very, very small. Maybe jump up and down and wave your arms around a bit?

(I hope that made you feel small, if only for a split second.)

@SmolChlo Wait…you mean you’re NOT actually tiny and typing all of your posts by dancing on a phone/computer keyboard?? I WAS very impressed with your lack of typos, considering your circumstances, but now I retract my accolades!
