While feederist sexual content and fat sexual content both feature plus-size models, the two types of sexual content are quite different. Feederist content rarely shows genitalia or conventional sexual acts. Instead it focuses on the consumption of food, especially desserts and fast foods which quickly put on weight, and the effects of the food on the body. It often stars models considered too large for other sexual content and shows parts of the body that may otherwise be seen as flaws, such as cellulite, stretch marks, and large bellies and thighs. Some feederist content may show a series of images documenting how someone’s body grew over time.
Some suggest that feederists and feederist content may be considered “queer” since they deviate from society’s standards of health, beauty, and desire. However, this is problematic given the term’s association with the LGBTQIA+ community and the dominance of heterosexual content in the feederist community.
