big fat carnival #3 call for submissions

Let’s talk about sex, baby. Let’s talk about you and me. Let’s talk about all the good things and the bad things that may be. Let’s talk about sex. LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX!

I know, i know. Fat people aren’t suppose to talk about sex unless its within the context of feederism. But fuck that. We are sexual creatures regardless of our size! So i’d like for folks to write about some super-sized sex. I feel like there is a lot to talk about on this topic, including:

  • coming to view yourself as a sexual being in a world that desexualizes your body
  • your relationship with sex
  • “fat-positive” erotica
  • size in the sex industry
  • the sexualization/de-sexualization of body size
  • the fetishization of fatness

And so on. Regarding erotica, for folks who identify as fat, have you ever written erotica? Why or whynot? How does it feel to write it? What about having pictures taken of you while naked? Just roll with it.

I’m also interested in receiving posts about size and gender. The emasculation of fat men and the masculation of fat wimmin. Size and trans-identity. Size and femme/butch identity. etc. etc.

Of course i will accept posts on other topics, but i’d really like to see some thoughts in these two areas. I will be hosting the third carnival here on June 6th. Please send your submissions by going to this link, or by emailing me at veganwonder(a)gmail.com. If you  are interested in hosting a future edition of the Big Fat Carnival, email Amp at barry (at) amptoons (dot) com.  And, of course, here is the usual bit from the carnival’s creator, Ampersand:

The Big Fat Carnival is a carnival for collecting some of the best blog posts regarding fat pride; fat acceptance; critiques of anti-fat bigotry, attitudes and research; celebration of images of fat people; practical difficulties of being fat; fat love (queer and otherwise); feminist views of fat and fat acceptance; the health at every size movement (HAES); and whatever else each edition’s editor feels fits into the theme.

(But please note, The Big Fat Carnival is not a place to advocate weight-loss diets, weight loss surgery (WLS), or feederism.)
