When Gainer Kink is More Bulky Bear, Less Magic Mike Muscle

The other day my cohort writer of naughtiness Alexander gave you a bit of a peek into the kink of muscle gainers, those fascinated by men whose muscles extend past what many would consider humanly possible. While you can gaze in wonder at pics of men who enter bodybuilding competitions, bulking up to extreme lengths, the advent of AI art and image-making takes this visual kink to the next level, where images of bodies engorged and distended to impossible lengths of real humans allow muscle kinksters to revel in visual fantasies they could never experience in real life. Think Tom of Finland erotic art but blown up more. More. No, even more!

One of the detracting arguments for such imagery is that it causes people to have distorted views of the human body and, making impossible demands on gay men to achieve an unreachable goal. Like women getting thin but in reverse. To which yer boy Hank here has to give a resounding "Well, duh!" Of course, the images in Alexander's piece are unattainable; they are fantasy only, so let your imagination run wild and have fun with it!

There's another side to muscle gainers, and that's belly gainers, often found within the Bear community. Many in that subset of the gay world already have a penchant for a fully figured kinda guy. Call it beefy, bulky, husky, dad-bod or just plain fat, the curvacious splendor of some guys, especially if covered in hair, is a wonder for many of us. And the Bear gainers know their target audience and can come up with countless images and videos of real men all over the internet to feed their kink. There are actually two kinks happening at once: the gainer, who craves to be fed and cared for and looked on with lust, and the feeder (or encourager, often a "chubby chaser") who gets off on feeding another and watching his gainer grow.

While the muscle gainer aficionado often has to turn to AI and artistic renderings to see the object of his lust realized to the extent that he desires, Bear gainers can see their kink played out in real life with real people, as witness in some of the TikToks above. But when he wants a fantasy image that goes beyond, there's plenty to enjoy created by AI and other art forms.

And some of the images being created are so gorgeously realistic it's often hard to tell what's real, or it's easy to shrug off its counterfeit quality and just enjoy it.

Now, here's the rub. (Mmmmmmm rubbins!) When it comes to gainers and enacting that kink IRL, there is, of course, a health component to it. Yes, the men are hawt and sexy, and yes if it's the connection you and your partner have, then hey, you be you, Boo. But as many will point out, there's an unhealthy physical aspect to all of this. When I posed the question asking for opinions on gainers and the kink to my Bear friends and in a couple forums, the overwhelming response I got could be encapsulated by Alan's response: "I do my level best to not kink shame but I have a problem with something that usually has a negative effect on one's health. That being said, you be you, I'll be me."

My friend Mikey shared this story from many years ago. (How many years ago? LiveJournal years ago!) In it the health aspects of weight gain are mentioned:

I have a belly full (see what I did there) of opinions on the subject as a fatty myself. But I'll leave you with an anecdote. Back in the LJ days one of the bear hanger-onners was a cute otter type dude from Canada, who wanted to be a real bear when he grew up, so he ate and ate and ate until he WAS a big bear of his dreams and then was like "I feel so sluggish and depressed, not sexy" and I was like YA THINK?! What do you think being fat felt like? Did he not try asking a fat dude? Oh well he was young then, maybe he slimmed back down I dunno. I just know gravity is not kind and you can't escape the ravages of time, so gaining is a folly at best, early death at worst.

Yes, I know, you can be heavy and healthy; slim and muscled does not equate with healthy. But the adverse effects of much added weight can't be denied; I'm feeling them right now myself sometimes! So if gaining is your thing, please make sure your health and numbers are checked and, like drinking, you're doing it responsibly.

And if you can't get behind RL gainers, chubbies, and Bears but the idea of a fantasy fatty is what you crave, there's always AI and erotic art.
