Fat admirer

From Free net encyclopedia

Fat admiration is a sub-fetish to Fat fetishism

Fat admirers (or FAs) are people, usually male heterosexuals, who are sexually attracted to obese partners. In some countries the term chubby chaser is a synonym for this concept, in some the term refers specifically to gay men. Although some use this term to refer to anyone with a standard of beauty larger than that of the mainstream, others reject the "fat" component of the phrase as unhelpfully pejorative and inaccurate. Female FAs are referred to as FFAs. In the community a large woman is often referred to as a BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) and a large man as a Big Handsome Male (BHM). FAs are often viewed as fetishists by the mainstream, but most of them feel that it is a preference, like a preference for red hair. For some, however, being an FA is not having a particular fetish for larger people in either sex, but finding the idea of himself or herself being fat sexually appealing. Many FA's consider popular culture as being dominated by a pro-thin bias, and many FAs are involved with the fat acceptance movement.

FAs are often criticized for being attracted to partners with weights regarded by mainstream medical experts as unhealthy. FAs generally argue that such claims by medical experts are biased for various reasons, such as the influence of the diet industry.

The average FA should not be confused with the feeder fetishist, though there is some overlap.
