Macrophilia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Macrophilia refers to a fascination with or a sexual fantasy involving giants.[1]

Humorist David Sedaris's essay, "Giantess", reprinted in Barrel Fever (1994), describes writing for a magazine specializing in erotic stories about giant women and the particular attention that must be paid to the transformation and tearing of clothes.[2]

Macrophilia usually refers to a fetishism of female giantesses or being shrunken and at the mercy of a normal sized female. Macrophiliacs are usually very secretive about the fetish for fear of persecution or awkwardness with partners or friends.
