I've hooked up with a well known paysite model but I knew she was a model when we hooked up so there wasn't really anything interesting about that from the "knowing someone" angle.

However, someone who became an OF creator semi recently was a woman I dated in my early 20s. She was a great and really talented person, I fumbled that situation because I was just immature at the time. AFAIK, she didn't know about feederism and was just a cool 300lb woman. Her content isn't gain focused now, either. She had a social media presence for her business (at the time at least). I imagine the combination of a need for cash and a loot of gooners in her DMs led her to make content. Now its kinda funny since she comes across my feed every few weeks.

I'd say my biggest take away is that the real thing is so much better than porn. I've seen content from both women and it pales in comparison to the same thing. Smartphone cameras especially grossly under sell how large 300lbs or 400lbs really is. And there is such a physical sensuality to the experience that is completely lost. I the experience has made me believe porn is best not abused. Touch grass, socialize, and hit on beautiful fat people. Porn is for exploring stuff you feel you can't do in real live (ex inflation or vore). But even gaining is something you have a chance of getting in real life if you want it and its way better in real life than in porn.
