As a child in the late 80's and early 90's, I ended up watching a lot of Disney movies, so my first exposure to TF were things like Cinderella, Pinnochio, The Sword in the Stone, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White (yeah, I guess you could argue that Snow White is more of an extreme AP, but at my young age it was akin to watching a beautiful woman become this hideous...creature; I still get the willies thinking about it); I also vividly remember the pig scene in Willow and the various mouse scenes in The Witches. At this point there was nothing sexual about TF: I was terrified when I would watch it, but there would also be this lingering curiosity about what had just happened. Probably the first 'attractive' TF I watched was from an old episode of TMNT, where a pretty college student was somehow exposed to toxic waste and became an anthropomorphic lizard woman. I don't know the name of the character or the episode; I just remember being entranced by her, and wondering if I could change like that.

Muscle growth was probably old reruns of The Incredible Hulk with Lou Ferrigno; I was young enough to ignore the shitty special effects and simply be impressed by the size and bulk of this man. I also remember a very old episode of Tom & Jerry where Jerry mixed a Jeckyl & Hyde formula that turned him into a seething, ridiculously muscular version of himself. Twisted as it sounds, also I vaguely recall a Muppet Babies episode where some the characters turned into huge, hulking, musclebound versions of themselves because they ate a certain bad-smelling porridge.

TG was simple: I started renting anime when I was 15-16, and one of the first things I got was Ranma 1/2.

Body Expansion was also pretty orthodox, as Charlie And The Chocolate Factory was the first thing to really get my attention. However, I do remember a scene in the James Bond film "Live and Let Die" where Roger Moore forced someone (I don't know who; I haven't seen the movie in 12 years, so the details are shaky) to swallow an air bullet, and then pushed them underwater; the person expanded, floated to the ceiling and exploded. Not pretty, but I was fascinated (if extremely disgusted).

BE is kind of weird for me; although I remember watching Leprechaun III at a horror-movie-loving friend's sleepover, the scene in it was too unattractive (and low-budget) to do anything but disturb me. It wasn't until I went to college and had ready access to a computer did I discover BE. I was looking at a big-bust magazine in my room one day and thinking "This is great...but wouldn't it be cool if these girls could actually get BIGGER?". Having this premonition, I went to my computer, searched for 'expanding breasts', and one of the first 3 or so sites that came up was The Process! The rest, as they say, is history.

I was never a fan of shrinking.
