Q: For a loved one, isn’t health more important than heft?Ī: Only your physician - not a health club or ads in a magazine - can tell you if your body size is unhealthy. When she started putting on weight in her early 30s, she talked down her body. I married at 23 and we’ve been married a long time. Q: Was it hard to come out as a chubby chaser?Ī: I’d already come out to my wife.

Or it could be that when you’re maturing sexually there’s a person you relate to that gets connected with the idea of beauty. It could be I have some genetic code telling me this is what I like. I thought there would be a straight answer, but there are literally dozens of theories. Q: For you, why big women? What’s the attraction?Ī: That was one of my journeys on this film.

Jeff Sterne freely admits his preference: He likes full-figured, plus-sized women.
