I like smut. Most particularly: written smut. I'm not a big 'un for photos (though a well-drawn graphic can be pretty hot). Photographs tend to diminish their subject in ways that aren't always immediately discernible. But I love erotica that shows the hands of its creator.
If it's written toward any of my particular obsessions, so much the better.
Which leads me to Wren Spot. An archive of growth-theme erotica with a variety of focuses, it's rapidly become the automatic second place for me to visit when I'm looking for a fresh fix of somebody else's fanta-sizing. (If you don't know what the first spot is, then I suggest you take a closer look around.) Dimensions' Weight Room may have the larger selection of weight gain fantasies, but Wren Spot is the place when you want your growth fantasies more localized (i.e., breast or belly) or quirky (as in inflation). Stories, graphics and, yes, photos, if you must be a boring realist - they're all there in neatly compartmentalized sections.
Getting to the spot itself can take some time - there are a ton of ads and preliminary business to get through before you actually reach the archive - but it's worth it. (Because it generates its self-supporting income from click-on ads, there are also regular requests to please hit at least some of 'em. I try to do that regularly, but I have to admit I don't consistently.) I tend to focus on the Ink and Paint Spots (name writers and artists, with an index indicating their prime areas of focus), plus the Fat and Breast Spots (where the focus is apparent from their very titles). Some of the other spots include the Blow Spot (inflation fantasy), Belly Spot and Fashion Spot (inflatable clothing, an area that personally leaves me cold).
Wren calls his site an "expandable fetish site," but I've never been enamored of the word "fetish" when used to describe this form of erotica. (To me, the word's best left to describing religious icons.) Weight gain fantasy may be about the sexual allure of fat, but it also can be about behaviors that we associate with the endomorphic body type (sensuality, openness - along with a great appetite, of course!) That association may be stereotypical, but for many FAs, it can also be powerfully attractive. This goes beyond mere "fetishism," think I.
Considering Wren's original starting point (his early web work focused on inflation and breast growth stories), I can see where he's coming from. Stories of women blown up to near spherical size by air or other mysterious gases enter a realm so divorced from human reality that we probably need a new word for it.
This caveat aside, I still relish Wren Spot for all that it offers. Hands down, it is the best all-purpose growth site on the web. Long may it continue to swell!
