Ever been called a balloon?

Probably mainly a question for any "chubbier" people here, like myself! :
The thread about chubby people and inflation prompted me to recall that I was called a balloon quite a few times at secondary school/high school, and even, mockingly, threatened with a pin by some boys(it was suggested that I would either go off bang or fly round the room and deflate!). Thing is, although they meant it in a teasing, hurtful way, and despite it being a bit embarassing, I found it a very arousing thing. Anyone else had similar experiences, or all you all slim and slender? :)

Whoa. That's pretty cool. If you gotta be picked on, that's the way for it to happen.

The only thing close to that in my life was in junior high, when a girl in my art class turned to me out of the blue and said, "Remember when you would blow up like a balloon?"

Needless to say, that was an attention getter. I tried desperately to get her to tell me just what the #$%^ she was talking about, but she just kept saying, "Never mind, never mind." And then she shut up.

I remembered later that when I was in kindergarten or first grade or so, I gained some notoriety for being able to stick my belly out farther than the other kids. I still don't know for sure if she was talking about that, or if she had somehow entered my dreams!

I want to pop so much I could burst!

I got plenty of grief in grade school when the Hindenburg movie came out in '78 or '79, people asking me when was I going to explode and 'it looks like I was already full of gas.'

and since I had already marginally discovered my inflatin fetish back then, I REALLY kept it to myself, being the ONLY overweight kid in my grade school class...

I was regulary teased for being a chubby kid- I remember eating too much at meals at times and my brothers calling me a balloon or a blimp, or one of my mom's friends ( who was pretty nasty to everyone else) telling me I was going to blow up like a balloon someday. Any self inflation fantasies I have are probably connected to that ^^;

Actually the other way around (sort of) a girl I was once going out with (sadly she moved and we lost contact) liked to have her breasts referred to as balloons (she was almost flat chested and it was her that got me onto this) she always threatened that she'd blow them up just to put the stereotypical stuck up etc cheerleaders in their places.

Not me, no, but I can do y'all one better. Once I was at a leadership summit. Me and this cute brunette were getting ready to speak. Being nervous, she turned to me, and out of nowhere said, "I feel like a balloon...I'm about to pop." And I was like... wow.

I was a pretty skinny kid, so I never experienced that sort of teasing. Mind you, I wouldn't mind some cute girl teasing me like that if I actually COULD inflate like a balloon...

I do recall an unusual encounter I had during my senior year of highschool, back when I was in the school band (I was a drummer). This one cute, and rather well-endowed girl with reddish-brown hair was sitting near me practicing this one, very small, flute-like instrument (I think it might have been the piccolo, though I can't remember for sure). She commented that, unlike other wind instruments, where you had to worry about running out of air, the piccolo was tricky because you could easily find yourself with TOO MUCH air (due to the narrow passage the wind had to pass through or something). She then proceeded to demonstrate by taking a BIG breath and playing a series of notes on the instrument. Her face quickly flushed, and after only a few moments she had to stop and let the breath out in a long, heavy whoosh. She then turned to me and said "See? I was ready to pop like a balloon there."

Needless to say, it's a memory I still treasure.

Ah yes, breasts likened to balloons: I remember my dear friend Stella at college, who was a short, slim very pretty brunette with a fantastic bosom..I threw a paper dart at her one day, accidentally hitting her in the boob, and I was delighted when she held her breast and jokingly made a "pshhhhhhh" noise as if it was deflating! She didn't know about my tastes at the time, I could have kissed her :D

Nah, I was always a skinny dude growing up.

A little kid thought I was pregnant at WalMart some time ago. Then a group of kids at my college teased me from afar and sang the beginning lines from the Oompa Loompas. That's the closest for me and just as hurtful to hear.

5 years ago, I've got greeting from my group girls (some symbolic gift et.c), It was labeled "To the most inflatable one".
Well, I've never really made a secret of it, though not emphasized sexual aspect.

My problem was that I enjoyed the fetish but did not like being at that weight, 'specially as my own mum threatened to feed me 'til I burst.

It might be theorized that some of us got a kick out of being teased as something of a defense mechanism. I guess its easy to forget how hurtful other people can be.

Aww, hon... I know what you mean, having been there (and still kinda there) myself. :(

It seems funny, in a way... I'd like to get into better shape and maybe lose a little weight, but... I fantasize about being a human water balloon. Just feels a little contradictory somehow, no?

You're not the only one to feel that. Even with the "injury" I ended up with in my lower back and the after results from it that I won't define here, my weight was still targeted by family members I talked to and ended up hearing "those" from.

Only way I can truly balance that this if my mood is ever there for an RP setting involving inflation/wg/etc. and actually enjoying it then.

I'm pretty skinny and therefore have never been teased about my size in that way, but there was one amusing episode with a previous boyfriend....

We were laying around on my bed and my shirt rode up off my tummy, and he pointed out that I had a silly looking belly button, that it kind of looked like the knot on a balloon. So he jokingly said "We could inflate you!" and made a motion as if using my belly button as the opening of a balloon. Of course, I didn't dare say anything at the time, as I'm terribly shy about it, but it was rather arousing nonetheless.
