From threesomes to BDSM, many people have sexual fantasies that they’d love to make a reality.
One of the lesser known fetishes is ‘feederism’ – a festish focused on erotic eating, feeding and gaining weight.
While this might sound strange, Dr Justin Lehmiller, a psychologist who specialises in sex, has revealed why feederisms appeal to some people.
In a blog on his website, Dr Lehmiller explained that there are several theories on where feeder fantasies come from.
He said: “Some have argued that feederism is an exaggeration of the fact that we tend to find food and eating mildly arousing to begin with.”
Dr Lehmiller highlighted a study, in which people who weren’t into feederism reported on their sexual arousal while looking at and listening to sexual, neutral, and feeding stimuli.
An analysis of the results revealed that feeding stimuli were rated as more arousing that neutral stimuli (though not as arousing as sexual stimuli).

In contrast, others have argued that feederism overlaps with both morphophilia (sexual attraction to a bodily characteristic) and BDSM, which has elements of power, control, and humiliation.
“Perhaps feederism stems from these other interests,” Dr Lehmiller said, before adding: “Our sexual fantasies and desires are, of course, complex and it’s possible that different people may be into feederism for very different reasons.
“So rather than just one of these explanations being correct, perhaps they all are to some degree.”
