[NSFW] Is a big waist a big waste? See details.

Asked by ETpro (34605points) March 15th, 2013

Your corner of the world may differ, but in my native America, there’s a lot of big waist lines these days. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 70% of all Americans age 20 or older are either overweight or clinically obese. A full (very full) 35.9% are actually obese. So if you are only attracted to the skinny Minny (or Maxie) types, your chances of finding a suitable mate are seriously hampered.

The porn industry adapted to this “growing” trend in the US some time back with a genre they called BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) and while that started off using only women with a fairly defined waist setting off big bubble butt and pendulous breasts, it now includes material catering to those with a taste for the truly obese. And the males involved, always well endowed in the nasty bits, now often sport big butts and bellies as well.

So the question. What’s your taste? Is a big waist a big waste, or are you OK with any size? Has anyone consciously used BBW style porn to cultivate a taste for more broad beamed broads or boys? After all, doing so would mean you can shop 100% of the adult population instead of just 30%. Isn’t bigger usually better in happy hunting grounds?

I’m so glad I don’t watch porn. I think I just barfed a little in my mouth.

I prefer my porn hardcore and involving lots of rope. No jiggling.

thin as twigs, lots of tentacles and fluids, animals optional.

I’m leery of the notion that we can deliberately change our fetishes. I think that people who are attracted to heavier body types are fortunate in their predilections, for the reasons you mention, but I don’t think it’s realistic to try to “get into” BBW or BBM if one isn’t already inclined in that direction.

I think tastes, or fetishes if you will, evolve over time due to boredom. I also think it can lead anywhere. It was Edna St. Vincent Milay or Dorothy Parker or Mae West who said that the only aphrodisiac is strange stuff. This has proven to be very true in my experience.

In porn, I prefer slim, toned men. No overweight fellas, no overly muscular dudes, and no twigs.

Oh, and no women, of any size. :)

I can never find porn I like to watch. I had a great friend that was good at picking out porn for me. He moved away though.
Never obese guys though.

As far as real life. I have widened the net a bit. But he absolutely has to have some level of fitness.

I happen to enjoy missionary every now and again and having to give up missionary or be smooshed is not really a choice I would enjoy having to make.

So as callous and mean as that sounds. I will add that if I loved a man and he became large over time. I would still love him.
Love is not what you start out with however.

@Judi If just reading the OP caused you to nearly lose your lunch, I’m sure glad I didn’t provide a link to the sort of BBW/BBM porn under discussion. More bulimics should be aware that porn can replace fingers down the throat.

@Seek_Kolinahr Yes well bound tightly enough, even a bowl of jelly doesn’t jiggle. On the other hand, a waist is definitely not a waste when defined by judiciously placed, tight bonds.

@ragingloli Where is my Chambered Nautilus avatar when I need it? I’m really up for some 90 tentacle wet sex tonight. :-)

@wildpotato Not so. This isn’t just a theoretical question. I’ve done it. I also learned things from the incredible Anastasia Blue.

@Espiritus_Corvus I have a TEDx talk I plan to share in a question. Maybe I’ll hit it for Saturday’s weekend continuance. It looks at that habituation problem. Pornographers are very aware of it and thus are constantly pushing the envelope—no pun intended.

@livelaughlove21 “Oh, and no women, of any size.”? You’re into gay male porn? Cool.

@As a dedicated ass man, fat bottomed girls work just as well for me as they did for Queen. But I do like to be able to frolic and roll. I’m a pretty muscular guy, but when they get too beg for me to move of breath when under, then that’s too much of a good thing. Still, if I really love a lady, her changes in size are inconsequential. There’s ways to adapt. Finding someone you love and are truly compatible with is far more difficult and far more rewarding than just matching body mass.

@livelaughlove21 That is super cool. I like lesbian action, but only when it looks real. The contrived stuff where they don’t really kiss or go down, they just stick their tongue out, and almost everything is with a strap-on emulating male/female action leaves me completely cold.

@ETpro Love that song and bubble butts.

You said it far better then I did. As far as pre-excluding I had thought of that.

ETpro's avatar

@rosehips I’m rather fond of that song, myself; and certainly a great fan of the imagery it salutes.

@Espiritus_Corvus I promised I’d share the TEDx talk where Gary Wilson comments on how easy, unlimited access to Internet porn is affecting very young consumers of it, accelerating the diversification of their fantasy world. Here it is.
