Where to begin

As an avid encourager, I figured I should use my obsessive combing over of all the various gainer/encourager websites and my penchant for blogging to create something to give back to the community. What is an encourager you ask? The writer Cube gave what I think to be one of the best answers in one of his stories:

"It means that I long to be with a man or with men -- any number I guess -- who are getting fat. Of course I want romance to be in it too, but in all honesty, I would not mind a fling with at least one handsome man who is finding his belt getting tighter all the time..."

For me, helping a guy grow, cooking for him, just generally enjoying a guy get fatter is the basic fiber of what turns my crank.

What is a gainer then? A gainer is a guy who willingly makes himself fatter, embracing it, enjoying eating to excess, and relishing the process of expanding. Whether it be 10 pounds or 100 pounds, there's a confidence in a true gainer that I find totally intoxicating.

Gaining and encouraging tends to be a gay thing, although there is the very rare and elusive straight gainer that crops up once in a blue moon. Any and all should feel welcome here, but, being that I'm gay, this blog will have a decidedly gay bent to it.

So, before this gets too long, I intend to make this blog a collection of what I believe to be the cream of the crop of gainer and encourager culture. Stories, movies, pictures, art, anything I find online or in my archives that I think really stands a head above the rest.

I'll leave you with my favorite drawing by the artist Warren Davis, the godfather of gainer and encourager art.
