The name macrophilia literally means ‘a lover of large’, but the fetish centres on the love of giants, more often than not giantesses, and often is connected to domination. However, there is a vast difference in what constitutes a giant. For some people a few feet taller than they are works, others fantasies revolve around fantastical giants that literally tower over buildings as well as other people. Most macrophiles enjoy how it makes them feel small and submissive, and many weave humiliation into their fantasies and play too.
The vast majority of macrophilia fans are male and there is a theory that this is because women already see men as powerful and dominant so don’t need to make a fantasy out of it. Even in today’s modern days of sexual equality, women are still more often seen as submissive.
Additionally, it may also be that generally, men are taller than women, so having a woman tower over a guy can have a powerful appeal.
In our anonymous Fetish.com member survey about macrophilia, one of the respondents said:
“I've always been tall, so it's nice to feel small occasionally.” Another was more specific “As a tall and large guy myself, giant women are uniquely able to make me feel submissive and in awe.”
Interestingly, some of our members into macrophilia mentioned feet, showing there is some crossover with foot fetish and trampling - albeit on a more epic scale!
One member said that having “Bigger women walking above me while I'm tied down on the floor.” was a practical way to experience the fetish.

Our survey respondents indicated that macrophilia is purely a fantasy for them. Many Macrophiles use videos to enjoy their fetish, and it is much easier to find them now with the aid of the internet.
“It's mostly fantasy but I guess the closest thing to it in real life would be meeting a girl taller than me, having a girl sit/lie on me (deep pressure stimulation), RP (roleplay)is always a thing, and VR (virtual reality) is probably one of the best most immersive mediums to experience it.”
Progression in Virtual Reality gives ‘lovers of large’ the chance to really experience having a giant looming over them. As the technology develops, it is bound to become a firm favourite.
Some people who love macrophilia will enjoy role play with people who are a good bit taller than they are. We had a few responses that indicated this worked for them:
Quote“I enjoy the feeling of pressure of a woman on top of me, the bigger the women, the more pressure, the bigger the turn on.”
Quote“For me, it’s a psychological thing that feeling of being beneath someone is not something that I can feel with many people. I’m 6ft 4 and women taller than that are rare.”
And one person who feels surrounded by giants because of their size: “Macrophilia for me is fantasy/reality as I am a small person and everyone around me is huge…”
Others though definitely had fantasies that wouldn’t be achievable in reality: “Being able to be inserted and humiliated by them.”
Being used for the sexual pleasure of a giantess is a common theme within the fetish, it is an act of ultimate submission and can’t be resisted. Some people even fantasise about being eaten by a giant, everything is about how weak the human is when faced by a giantess, and how they can do anything they want to satisfy their hunger and desires.
Quote“The sheer epic scale of it, all the gentle side of it, the physical shrinking, there's a lot of things I could go on forever.”
Many macrophiles enjoy the idea of being shrunk down to a tiny size, so humans would appear like giants to them. It is a popular theme within the fetish. It is again something that could be explored with Virtual Reality headsets but can’t really happen in real life…well, just yet anyway. Who knows what science may bring in future?
