Macrophilia
Macrophilia is a fascination with or a sexual fantasy involving giants, most commonly expressed as giant humans, as well as giant objects.[1][2] In 2023, the Giantess kink was found to be the most popular kink searched for on the website Clips4Sale.[3] Generally, depictions range from sexually explicit actions to non-sexual interactions while still providing sexual stimulation for those with the fantasy.[2] Online communities refer to this subculture as macro fetish or GTS fetish, an abbreviation of "giantess".[4][5][6]
Description
Psychologist Mark Griffiths speculates that the roots of macrophilia may lie in sexual arousal in childhood and early adolescence that is accidentally associated with giants.[7] Speculating on why there are not as many female macrophiles, psychologist Helen Friedman theorized that women who already view men as dominant and powerful have no need to fantasize about it.[1] Still there exists a presence of women who can enjoy both aspects of macrophilia.[2] Women who take on the roles of the giantess within this fetish often find the practice to be empowering and enjoy being worshipped.[8][9] One article in Men's Health argues that because the pressures faced by men tend to be greater, “becoming unimportant or unnoticed in the presence of an unconquerable creature could be a brief respite”.[10]
Community
Internet
The macro community has produced fiction writing, digital art, and collages on websites such as DeviantArt and Pixiv. Dedicated macrophilia websites include Giantess World, the Giantess City forums, and the male-centered CoiledFist and GTF productions, Karbo, Eskoz, and AshkiiWolf are among the more popular artists.[11]
Video games
Macrophilia video games have also been developed; Sizebox is a sandbox game in which players import models and create scenes.[12] Resize Me! is an anime VR game in development; the player is gradually shrunken by their childhood friend and toyed with.[12] The popularity of Resident Evil Village's antagonist Lady Dimitrescu has been attributed to her giant size.[13][14]
Real-world experience
One way macrophiles enjoy their fetish physically is by scheduling private sessions with extraordinarily tall women to engage in non-sexual interactions; trampling, lifting and carrying, foot worshiping, roleplaying and domination.[8]
