The Myth Of The Medieval BBW
https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/the-myth-of-the-medieval-bbw/

“What about Rubens?!” squeal the fatties. Well, many of Rubens’ late medieval European contemporaries, such as Botticelli and Cranach, painted slender babes. And Rubens himself deviated from his fat fetish to paint normal weight women. Furthermore, it is likely that Rubens was not painting masturbation material for the masses. If he was, he probably would have ended up like Francisco de Goya, who *did* paint erotically posed slender women.

Goya was summoned by the Spanish Inquisition to explain who commissioned the “obscene” art. I don’t know what Goya told them but he lost his job as the Spanish court painter, and this was as late as the early 19th century, though in southern Europe. Goya’s nude maja comes close to modern erotic pinup art/photography and is the type of art that is most likely to represent the artist’s preferences or those of his contemporaries, but it doesn’t depict an overweight woman. What were the chances of a painter coming up with something similar when the Church ruled?

If your paintings would have caused hard-ons to spring up among the drooling public, the Church would have had a word with you.

Bottom line: There is no evidence that Rubens’ paintings of unpleasantly plump women were representative of the kind of women that most men of his time considered hot. Except for a few weird outliers like the Mauritanians and fatty fuckers like Rubens, and allowing for some minor variation in female attractiveness standards between the major races, the vast majority of men across cultures and historical generations have lusted for thin young women (BMI 17 – 23) with 0.7 waist-hip ratios and feminine dispositions. No amount of railing against the “system” or engaging in sophistic pseudoacademic hocus-pocus is gonna change this fact.

The Metamorphoses of Fat: A History of Obesity – reviewed by Dr Katherine Harvey

Divided into six chronological sections the book opens with Part 1 (‘The Medieval Glutton’), which focuses on attitudes to obesity between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. At a time when famine was common and most Europeans were hungry (and consequently thin), fat symbolised wealth and power. At the beginning of this period, the bodies of the obese attracted little comment; size became an issue only if an individual was too large to perform his duties. But concern about the dangers of obesity was building. Clerics worried about the vice of gluttony (indicative of a troublesome lack of self-control), and doctors warned that extreme obesity could endanger individual health. The emergence of a ‘courtly culture’ based on refinement and grace produced new bodily ideals, and by the fifteenth century some high-status women were actively trying to lose weight.

Part 2 (‘The “Modern” Oaf’) explores the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, uncovering two key trends. The first is a growing emphasis on the slowness, laziness and ignorance of ‘the fat’, who became a target for satire and contempt. In literature, obese characters were figures of fun or objects of denigration. Artistic representations were less hostile, but equally stereotypical, with the obese individual usually depicted as ‘a perfectly round sphere.’ The second key trend is an increase in efforts to understand and care for the obese body. Although medical understandings of fat were still based on humoral theory, there was increased interest in the creation and composition of fat, and in diseases of obesity (e.g. apoplexy and dropsy). There was a corresponding increase in the range of treatments available to the obese, from bleeding and purging to diet and exercise, and from thinning agents (including vinegar and chalk) to the wearing of corsets.

Part 3 (‘From Oafishness to Powerlessness’) interrogates the eighteenth century, and uncovers new, more subtle ideas about obesity and the fat body. There was an increasing interest in weights and measurements as a way of gauging the size of the body. At the same time, written descriptions of fat people became more detailed, and visual depictions more realistic: bigness was no longer a straightforward question of roundness. Whilst stoutness could lend gravity to elite males, women were expected to be thin. Extreme girth was problematic in both sexes, because new medical theories associated fatness with weakness and melancholy. In men extreme fatness was sometimes linked with the abuse of office. It is unsurprising, then, that this period saw an explosion in efforts to ‘cure’ the fat, usually by toning and tensing the body- whether through diet, exercise and bathing, or through pills, tonics and electric shocks.

That’s a lot of cushin’ for the pushin’. But I like it.

Heavy is in? Fuck that. It appears anything old is the true standard for some – we’ll know soon enough when porn has nasty lard asses. How many strip clubs are gonna have a ‘heavy room’ for the select few that want to both watch and eat bacon at the same time?

Gay test….3…2…1….
