The initialism ‘SSBBW’ is an expansion on the classic BBW; it implies a larger version of a big beautiful woman and the ‘SS’ at the beginning stands for ‘Super-Size’. As opposed to standard BBWs, SSBBWs are in a whole new category of size, typically over 300 lbs and in a category of BMI that would be considered by most doctors to be far outside the standard size. It should be noted that there is no steadfast definition of what constitutes someone being a SSBBW, although it is typically a self-diagnosed term that may or may not be confirmed by others in the SSBBW community. It should be noted that within the context of this article, SSBBWs are sexually desirable because of their size. Some men may find both standard BBWs and SSBBWs attractive, whereas others might only opt to be attracted to SSBBWs.
While many SSBBWs follow a recently developed movement of ‘health at every size’, the broad consensus from both scientific studies and medical opinions is that women who fall into the category of SSBBWs are unhealthy, and that it should not be encouraged through the fetishization of the size, owing to the highly probable health implications of being so overweight. Nonetheless, many SSBBWs have fought back against the stereotype, attempting to redefine the concept of health and arguing that people who are severely overweight should not automatically be considered unhealthy or likely to burdened by their size.
Some men who are attracted to super-size big beautiful women also have a fetishization of feeding. This activity involves using food as a way of engaging with the other personally sexually. They may want to have sex with a woman while they eat, or simply find erotic pleasure out of feeding women. The feeding fetish is often experienced over a long period of time, with the desire to see the woman gain weight as a result of the continual surplus of calories. These are sometimes referred to as ‘stuffers’.
SSBBWs typically embrace their size and only look to date or attract men that have a particular inclination toward large women. As most men without a fetish for fat women won’t have any interest in dating an oversized woman, it’s convenient for both admirers of fat people (sometimes called FAs) and SSBBWs to connect directly. While there is not always a sexual implication of the phrase, more often than not, the phrase super-size big beautiful women is used in an erotic concept and one where the implication is of being sexually attractive because of the large size and weight of the woman.
