Feederism.

Feederism is a sexual fetish that involves a person being attracted to someone who is considered in society as obese. Both persons within the relationship derive sexual gratification from eating, watching a partner eat, or in some cases feeding a partner. Although “in most cases, at least in heterosexual relationships, feeders or encouragers are men, and feedees or gainers are women” (Bestard in Prohaska, p. 104). The person who is considered the ‘feeder’ often makes the food and then feeds their partner, whereas the ‘gainer’ will be aroused by eating and their continual growth in size.

The feeders are usually people who encourage others
(the “gainer”) to increase their weight by the pleasure of seeing eat
or see “fat” or, more often, because of the relationship of domination,
control and dependency that this holds. (Mateus 2008, p. s184)
