Shrinking Women
Shrinking Women, abbreviated SW, is a sexual fetish (a form of microphilia/macrophilia) and a corresponding fiction genre that deals with the topic of shrinking adult women down to the size of a doll. In Japanese, it is known as Koonago (こおなご).
The fantasy
I really wish that you were smaller
Not just small but really really short
So I could put you in my pocket
And carry you around all day– Milow - You and me
"Basically, the fantasy centers around women being reduced in size. Everyone seems to have their own favorite height. for example some like around three inches, where they fit neatly in the palm but aren't so small you can't appreciate them. Others like them smaller, but the majority seem to enjoy seeing women at Barbie doll height. This allows them to be used in a variety of sexual ways. There's no specific size that seems to be favored. An indvidual may like a woman at a certain size, but in general a SW fan can appreciate a tiny lady at any height, simply for the fact that she's really small."[1]
In the fantasy, the shrinking is done e.g. by means such as future technology (science fiction) or magic (fantasy). The shrunk women are then treated as if they were living dolls. Popular subjects include holding them captive, dressing and undressing them, performing sexual acts with them (e.g. oral sex bukkake), treating them like babies (adult baby/diaper lover scenarios), humiliating them, punishing them (e.g. spanking or BDSM-style torture), etc. What makes the fiction so attractive is the shrunken women's helplessness combined with beauty, cuteness and full sexual maturity.
"In fantasy terms these "tiny women" are treated as helpless and nonthreatening yet fully sexual beings, capable of being used, abused, and mistreated for erotic purposes without any risk or ability to object. Koonago fetish subgenres abound, ranging from bondage and BDSM themes (including revenge punishment against shrunken authority figures, such as former teachers), through sexual slavery to an abundance of food / eating fetishes, in which koonago people are eaten (sometimes live, sometimes cut up, sometimes prepared as sushi or another dish). Koonago are presented as sexual slaves, toys, pets, sex devices, or just as a generalized object of torment. They are often shown touching or rubbing the genitals of their owners, masters, or whomever has them locked in a jar this week."[2]
The person who 'plays' with such a shrunk woman can be male or female, adult, teen or child. Judging from the websites on the topic, the fetish and genre seems to be particularly popular in Japan. What makes the fetish interesting from a spanko's point of view is the popularity of punishment scenarios in which the shrunk women are given bare bottom spankings.
"The Koonago fetish appears to be all about reducing the sexual threat or challenge of members of the opposite sex, by reducing them to a fantasy size where they are trivially easy to control."[3]

Although fairies are not shrunken women, visually there is not so much difference between shrunken women and fairies — the main difference being that a fairy has wings, can fly, and possibly do other stuff such as magic. So 'kinky' fairy scenes have much in common with 'kinky' SW scenes. A fairy might be spanked, restrained, erotically stimulated, etc. A well-known example of this genre is the erotic manga Bondage Fairies.
Another related setting is that of normal-sized women fallen in the hands of giants. See Skyrim Giant's Pets (Adult site) by KajiraGames for rendered art examples.
