I’m a Feeder. I Get Turned On by Watching My Partner Gain Weight.
I’ve been attracted to bigger women for as long as I can remember, but simply saying that I like bigger women doesn’t quite describe it. What interests me specifically is the process of someone becoming bigger. I notice weight gain. I like seeing how someone’s body changes over time, how differently clothes fit, and how an old photograph starts looking noticeably different from the person sitting beside me.
There’s a name for this: I’m a feeder. The person who enjoys gaining weight is generally called a feedee or a gainer. For some people, feederism revolves around food and feeding. For others, it’s more about the physical transformation or encouraging someone to indulge. There’s a wide spectrum, and the extreme version you encounter online isn’t necessarily what these relationships look like in everyday life.

I Euthanize Animals for a Living. Here’s What I Wish People Understood
I’ve worked in animal shelters for four years. Part of my job is euthanizing animals.
On a good week, we might euthanize 20 or 30.
When the shelter is at maximum capacity, that number can climb to 100 or even 150.

What It Means to Be Owned Behind Bars
In prison, power is invisible until it isn’t. It doesn’t arrive in the form of a punch or a shank—it arrives through the erosion of choice. Most people think being “turned out” is just a violent act, a sudden taking. But that’s only the surface. The real story happens slowly, through subtle transactions where one person stops being a person and starts being a commodity.
There are no official rules for how this works. The administration writes one set of laws, but the inmates write another. The second set is the one that matters.

How Quitting Porn Brought Me Back to My Marriage
I stopped watching porn, and at first it felt like the smallest decision in the world. It wasn’t the result of a crusade or some kind of rock-bottom moment. It was more like realizing you’ve been listening to the same song on repeat for years, and one day, you just don’t want to hear it anymore. You get up, turn off the music, and sit in the new quiet. It’s not dramatic, but it’s different.

“My children have multiple fathers”
I’m a woman in my 30s, and I’m struggling with a deep sense of shame that I can’t seem to shake. I have two children with two different fathers. I love my kids more than anything, but whenever I meet new people or have to explain my family situation, I feel this wave of embarrassment. I immediately assume people are judging me, even when they haven’t said a word.

Good. Let the Diamond Industry Burn.
There are few things more satisfying than watching an industry that spent generations selling scarcity suddenly discover what happens when scarcity disappears.
Natural diamond prices have fallen roughly 60 percent in five years.
In March 2022, a one-carat natural diamond hit an all-time high of around $10,000. Since then, prices have cratered.
And the primary reason is beautifully simple:
We figured out how to make diamonds.
Not fake diamonds. Not cubic zirconia. Actual diamonds.
