Fat fetishism is related to the act of '''feedism''' (or '''feederism'''), which is the practice of feeding a partner primarily, but not necessarily, done with the goal to increase their weight. In this relationship, the person who gains gratification from the idea or act of growing bigger or fatter is known as the '''feedee''', whose partner, the '''feeder''', assists them in gaining weight, but who doesn't necessarily gain weight themselves. Feedism can be practiced at any [[body size]], but is most commonly done by people where at least one of the partners is already large. Feederism is the most used term for this concept, but some people prefer feedism to signify that it is not primarily about the feeder, but also the feedee.

Many feedees experience sexual gratification and a romantic bond through feeding fantasies and/or actions. In the gay community, feedees are often referred to as "gainers."<sup>[citation needed]</sup>

Feedism and gaining are, in many cases, the focus of a [[List of models|web model's]] profession, with eating and stuffing content (in the form of photos, videos, etc) followed by celebrations of higher weigh-ins.

Feedism and its related activities, as an intimate sexual activity, must be done with full consent of everyone who is involved.
