I agree with the comments above. I have found the term Gainer is often used in the gay community subculture, where as Feeder/Feedee is mostly used in the straight community.

I have found many (gay) gainers start out as encouragers often harboring desires to grow themselves, but for a variety of reasons are unable or unwilling to do so. For many people the gaining/encouraging scene remains at most a sexualized fantasy -- though this is now changing as the scene becomes more visible and people are able to connect with one and other.

There are a wide variety of types / preferences within the gay subculture ... everything from the "muscle jock with a gut" masculine, agressive, healthy types to the morbidly obese, self depricating submissive fat boy types.
