Effect of FA mindset on relationships & SA

[thatgirl08]

As a BBW, does it matter to you whether your FA partner considers his FAism a preference, fetish, orientation, etc.? Do you prefer one of these mindsets (for lack of a better term) over another? Does it have an impact on your relationship?

Also, this isn't BBW specific necessarily but how do you think this impacts SA? Do you think what people consider FAism to be has an impact on how its viewed in SA? Or maybe how its viewed to people not involved in SA?

Just for reference, here are some stats from a poll conducted on this site:

fetish 12 16.44%
preference 50 68.49%
'alt.' lifestyle 0 0%
other 11 15.07%

Based on this, it appears that a majority of FAs consider their FAism to be a preference. I know its hardly a scientific study but what do you think is the impact of this versus FAs who consider it to be a fetish, lifestyle, orientation, etc.? I'm curious on opinions relating to personal situations (such as relationships) and also in a more general way, especially in regards to SA.
