Early Influences

It’s the most-common recurring topic on any Size-related venue: “What got you into this? What triggered your Size fetish?” Size pervs will happily rattle off a pantheon of mainstream size content they encountered as a child, bonding with others who share the same “inspirational” moments.

While I don’t pretend to have a Universal Theory of Where Size Fetishes Come From, in my personal experience no such encounter with mainstream size content caused me to become fascinated by size-differential so much as suggested a form which my early feelings about power and relationships might take. If all it took to create a Size perv was to expose someone to Totally Spies or Ferngully, there’d be so many of us we’d have our own first-person shrinker video game franchise by now.

Nevertheless, most Size pervs still wistfully remember formative experiences, even feeling a touch of arousal at the right visual or auditory cue from the size content in question. I am no different. Here follows those early Size influences on me, roughly in order of when I first encountered them (not necessarily, mind you, in the original order of their release or publication).

Please note that when I first saw these shows I wasn’t self-aware of my fascination with Size. When I finally figured out what I was hungering for, I deliberately sought out and reviewed many, many, many other possible sources of Size content. I’ll have you know I did all this painstaking research before there was an internet.

In addition to any specific elements of Size Fantasy with which any of these items resonates, I am likely to indulge in highly biographical and idiosyncratic details. You have been warned.

The Little Everyman

Book cover for "The Little Everyman: Stature and Masculinity in Eighteenth-Century English Literature." The imagery depicts tiny Gulliver being peered down upon by the giants of Brobdingnag.
Cover art: “Scene from Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift” (A.E. Jackson, 1911)

It is no exaggeration to say that Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels is a foundational text to the Size fetish. Due to its renowned literary and satirical merit and prolific public domain adaptations, people for centuries have been exposed to its whimsical vocabulary and striking imagery. Swift’s use of corporeal humor is memorably central to the narrative, making the contemplation of Sizey sexytimes unavoidable.

I am continually alert to mentions of Gulliver’s Travels in any context, from pop culture to academic inquiry, hoping to find digressions into or even explorations of the ribald possibilities presented by the plot. The results are usually disappointing, and I often find myself extrapolating furiously from a single phrase to identify the slightest indication that the author regarded the notion of Sizey sex as anything other than dry social commentary or a sight gag.

The Queen’s Education

Before the Internet revealed all of us to each other and encouraged us to make size content by size pervs for size pervs, we had to mentally “repurpose” mainstream size content. Such sources were usually sci-fi or horror or, tediously often, children’s entertainment. Here follows my ribald extrapolation from The 3 Worlds of Gulliver, which I imagined took place after Gulliver cures the Queen but before his witch trial.
