The old maxim that size matters has long been disputed – mostly by men with small penises – but if you’re a macrophile then it’s indisputably important, as macrophiles are people who lust after people bigger than them. If Gulliver’s Travels gave you that special tingle in that special place, you’ll already know what we’re talking about.


Macrophilia, like most fetishes and paraphilias, isn’t an exact science, and is a sliding scale of desire – the term covers lots of different scenarios. For example, some macrophiles would be happy cuddling up to Stephen Merchant, while others fantasise about freaky, tall-like-an-oak-tree partners.
