Male Pregnancy Obsessive Disorder - Also known as MPOD. Sufferers feel a compulsion to draw pictures of their favorite fictional male characters in a state of pregnancy. In rare cases, the sufferer may also draw the character giving birth. Pictures of pregnancy and/or birth are typically followed by family portraits of the male character, their partner (almost always another male) and the offspring. Many MPOD sufferers become fixated on one specific character. This specialist has seen fixations on every character ranging from Vegeta from Dragonball Z to Optimus Prime from Transformers. Another prominent symptom includes a general or complete disregard for canon storylines/relationships, biology and/or anatomy. In more severe cases, the sufferer may be unable to draw anything except the subject of male pregnancy, leading their online galleries to overflow with depictions of such. MPOD typically affects women more than men, and women who enjoy anime yaoi are particularly at risk of developing this disease. Many of the affected congregate on deviantart as an outlet for their condition as well as to meet others like them. Like others afflicted with serious psychological conditions, MPOD sufferers take comfort in knowing they are not the only ones afflicted with the disease. There is no cure for MPOD, the best treatment option is simply to allow it to run its course.
Thanks for the topic, Spokane_Girl! This is a lot of fun! I'm definitely doing more conditions later!
