Note text

Macrophilia (from Gr. Makrós , "long, tall", and philía , "love, friendship") means to feel sexually attracted to tall people. Macrophilia is the opposite of microphilia .

Macrophiles get excited at the idea of having sex with a (much) bigger partner . As a dream partner are often huge viewed. The individual manifestations differ greatly from one individual to the other and can range from general affection for taller people to specific sexual fantasy scenarios. In particular, macrophilia does not say anything about other sexual inclinations such as homosexuality or sadomasochism .

In order to meet the request for unrealistically large body sizes, some macrophiles exchange post-processed photos on which the size of the people depicted has been retouched.

Macrophilia is usually not a disease but a harmless sexual preference. In particular, macrophilia is not a form of sexual fetishism , as interest is not directed towards an inanimate object or a single part of the body.

Manifestations

Main currents

One of the largest heterosexually oriented groups in these online communities describes their preference as “GTS”, which is the abbreviation for the English word “giantess”. Within all communities, the erotic and pornographic content can be roughly divided into two groups: “Growth”, whereby someone grows into a giant or giantess and interacts with the world that has remained normal (so-called “MEGA” is part of this , where the object of desire is in a size ratio of 100 m to planet size or larger) and

"Shrink", which describes sexual intercourse or an interaction between a person who has shrunk to miniature size (generally the man in the heterosexual variety) and a normal-sized person (usually the woman in the heterosexual variety).

Tributaries

Although there are exceptions, the majority of all images and literature that emerges in the heterosexual field focus on the male perspective, with the man in the heterosexual variety being smaller than the woman. However, it seems to be the exception that women develop this tendency on their own and many of their husbands are likely to have learned something about the manifestations of this preference. One fact seems to be that macrophilous representation on the internet is led by people of European and African descent, although it cannot be said that people from other ethnic groups do not share the same preference. There is a burgeoning, extremely productive Japanese bloc with its own macro and microphilic art and literature, some of which also emerges from mangas . Macrophilia also refers to naturally tall people, but not in an unreal or physically excluded sense, but this characteristic can be found in both men and women, just as many other people find size sexually attractive.

Symptoms

People with macro- or microphilia generally want to see someone bigger who “does” things to them, such as B. step on them or crush them. This may be seen as a variety of sadomasochism or so-called "crush fixation" (= one has the desire to be crushed or trampled on), the sexual arousal of which is gained through the action of crushing or being crushed. This includes ideas of seeing or being a small person being crushed or eaten under a foot, shoe, or buttocks (when sitting on them) or in some other way; from the giant on his body, to be hidden in his body or in his clothing or to be splashed by his liquids escaping from sexual stimulation or a kind of frotteurism develops (= deliberate rubbing against a mostly strange person, which triggers sexual stimulus), which is defined by masturbation of the giant on the smaller person or by penetration into the larger person (here also growth fantasies).

Special forms

A variation of crushing is object crush, which means that objects are destroyed by the weight of the giant (cars are crushed, houses destroyed under the buttocks) without necessarily harming people or living beings in general.

A very specific part of macro- and microphilia is thus also podophilia (= foot fetishism). Macrophiles and microphiles also enjoy the idea that the taller person's foot or buttocks are destroying the environment around them, similar to what is shown in the Godzilla or King Kong films. This does not mean, however, that a person with macro- or microphilia is basically also a foot fetishist, as there are sometimes big differences between these trends.

development

Macrophilia usually develops during early childhood, when many children often pretend they are giants or dwarfs . Children with a macrophilic bias tend to have a sexual or pseudosexual relationship with giants well before they reach puberty , but it is not shown to the environment because macrophilia was until recently viewed by those affected as a " sin " or " abnormality ". As a result, these individuals are extremely shy when it comes to their macrophilia tendency, even to understanding people, and, more than other people with unusual sexual preferences, think they may be looked down on with contempt.

In addition to the fact that macrophilia is almost exclusively developed by boys in childhood, the tendency, even in its heterosexual form, also includes a latent tendency towards homosexuality, so that, for example, even men who live absolutely heterosexually consider male giants in their fantasies. It is noticeable that macrophilia can blur the boundaries between heterosexuality and homosexuality , and in individual cases even completely disappear.

Macrophilia today

For some time now, macrophilia has been much more recognized in society than most of those affected might believe it, and not only through various genre crossovers in which macrophilia is made an issue. Outsiders usually assume that macrophilia comes from a kind of mother or father pleasure that sprouts in childhood and / or that an uncontrolled urge to be a child develops again, with impatience with the little person or the tendency in the first place this person to naughtiness. However, many macrophiles are quick to answer that this theory is far-fetched and can be viewed as a generalization, since this theory does not exactly apply. That may be, but self-loathing and identity denial appear repeatedly in various aspects within macrophilia. Macrophilia often mixes with other paraphilias or other special fields of sexual behavior. The whole thing also mixes with other tendencies such as pre-arephilia , with the giant eating the smaller person or swallowing it alive. The heterosexual macrophilic communities often share a preference for Amazons or Valkyries , with overproportionately muscular women enjoying agonizing helpless little men either through excessive sexual rituals or blunt physical violence, often with a good pinch of thirst for revenge or man- hatred as motivation. Another variety of macrophilia has developed through voyeurism , with the smaller person facing a giant who, however, knows nothing of his or her presence. There are many individual crosses within macrophilia with other sexual inclinations. For example, “macro- infantilism ” is an extremely rare form, whereby the affected person wishes that the giant wears a diaper and enjoys putting the smaller person in this diaper and urinating on this person and / or letting his feces go .
