[solrosan.livejournal.com]

Title: Eat.
Author: sickofit (inthegarden)
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson
Length: 4 426 words
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Warnings Apply.
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: Sherlock likes seeing John eat. And eat. And eat. And, when he's not able to eat any more, bring it all back up.

Reccer's comments: This is an emetophilia BDSM PWP-fic, which is exactly what I want from life and didn’t even hope for until I found this one. Emetophilia fics are rare and good emetophilia fics are even rarer. This is one of the really good ones. It has build-up, double perspective, and explicit descriptions of everything. And aftercare! Sweet, lovely aftercare.

Emetophilia, for those who don’t know, is arousal by vomiting and/or observing others vomit and can be “a kink too far” for many. I don’t want to discourage anyone from reading it, because it’s a really well written fic even if this isn’t your thing, but everyone should know going in that this fic is about John eating until he throws up, repeatedly.

Hate to see anything that encourages eating disorders associated with Sherlock, given how many young women read Sherlock fic. This is not a kink. This is an attempt to glorify an eating disorder.

Emetophilia is not an eating disorder and should not be confused as such. An eating disorder is a mental disorder with the focus on an unhealthy body image. Emetophilia is a paraphilia where the vomiting (in yourself or in others) creates arousal. If this fic encourages eating disorders, then it's regretable but it shares no similarities with eating disorders and the fic can not be blamed.

I do not deny that there is a lot of fiction (not just Sherlock fanfiction) that glorifies eating disorders. This is not one of them. This is a fic about a paraphilia, much like urophilia and so on.
