Do you fantasize about tiny women and having your way with them? Do you love fantasy scenes of shrinking women?
What Is Microphilia?
Microphilia is the sexual arousal or attraction to very small people, small body parts, shrinking, or being shrunken.
The micros fantasized about may be referred to as miniatures and be a fantasy that can be acted out. A micro fetish may include the idea of the shrunken woman, a popular trope in sci-fi comics, books, art, and film.
If microphilia is your thing, with a little online searching you can find forums and websites dedicated to microphilia kinks.
How micro a fantasy woman is can vary between fetishists. One person may envision a woman who is one foot tall, whereas another vision may be a matter of millimeters.
Microphilia’s opposite is macrophilia wherein fetishists are attracted to giants or giantesses. Someone who identifies with one of these paraphilias usually does not with both.

There isn’t a lot of research on microphilia, but it is gaining in popularity. Technology that can create and alter images and videos helps bring this fantasy-only kink to life for the men (and sometimes women) who call themselves microphiles.
The Allure of Shrunken Women
Under the microphilia kink umbrella is the incredible shrinking woman. Many microphiles love to read or fantasize about a woman shrinking before their eyes, watching her diminish in size while they remain the same stature.
Picture Jessica Lange in King Kong’s hand, and you can imagine the attraction of microphilia.
There are so many enthusiasts of the shrunken woman kink that they refer to themselves as the SW community.
There is an inherent power that comes with being so much larger than a shrunken woman, so many fetishists identify as dominant and enjoy the idea of domination over the tiny women they fantasize about.

Someone who fantasizes about women growing to unearthly sizes is more often submissive in nature and sees their fantasy woman having their way with them.
Microphiles imagine women shrinking in all kinds of ways, whether from their own imagination or influenced by scenes from popular culture.
Sexual fantasies of shrunken women often involve the way they are shrunk, whether by radiation or shrink rays, cast spells and ingested potions, failed teleportation, or alien abduction.
The fantasy for the shrunken woman is not always in the shrinking alone. The man may envision all kinds of kinky acts with the small woman that cross the BDSM spectrum.
7 Microphilia Kinks
1. Shrinking Fetish
You may just get aroused by imagining a woman, maybe your lover, shrinking before you. You can act this fantasy out by having your lover wear XXXL clothes to appear much smaller than she is.
There are many films and books to explore that highlight or focus on the shrinking fetish.
2. Micro Furry
While furries are their own kink, micro furry fascination may involve fantasizing that your furry is the size of the real animal the kinkster is dressed up to be.
Perhaps your furry girlfriend is always dressed up as a cute bunny rabbit, and it feeds into your micro fetish for small women and sexual furries. Like many people with a furry fetish, you can have a micro fetish that isn’t about sex even if it turns you on.

3. Micro Vore
Vorophilia is the arousal of eating another human being, and while this should always remain a fantasy-only kink, there have been those who have acted it out with both fatal and legal consequences.
The crossover of microphilia and “vore” happens because the microphiles imagine a tiny person as easier to consume, lying on a plate. Both paraphilias can be seen as sadistic or masochistic, depending on the part you play.

Koonago is a Japanese kink of the shrunken woman which usually depicts the woman being shrunk against her will.

The women in Koonago may be used as toys or accessories or in darker depictions that see them being the object of torture.
