Newbie's First Post

I admit, it took a lot of guts for me to make an account here, but there's no denying that I have an inflation fetish at this point. It kinda progressed enough for me to fully classify it as such, so I'm kinda hoping that maybe if I come to terms with it I might get over the embarassment.

(**Just a little disclaimer here before I begin: I'm not interested in taking videos of myself, roleplaying, or having contact anywhere outside of the forums. This is very much a secret of mine and I intend to keep it that way. No offense to any parties involved! I'm posting here for my own needs and have no interest in pleasuring other people. Selfish I know, but it is what it is.)

ANYWAY! That said, I don't object to discussion. If I weren't going to talk to anyone about it, I wouldn't have made an account, right?

Anyway, my fetish in particular is belly inflation. The bigger the better, obviously. I think I fully committed to the fetish once I saw OnceDeli's Youtube videos. She could get herself HUGE and it didn't look incredibly unrealistic like what I see in the artist depictions. (sorry artists)

Do you guys have a preferred method of inflating? I think my first attempt was anal with a pump, but that failed miserably. I just got cramps and minimal bloating (boo.)

My second attempt was a few months later, after I did a lot of research on oral methods of inflation. I tried chugging root beer and that kinda worked, but I had to pee so bad that it kinda ruined the effect, and it took a long time to get any sort of visual result. So scratch that.

My next step was alka-seltzer. It worked pretty good the first time, but I hated chewing the tablets. Ugh! So I thought of swallowing them without chewing. Problem was that I have a very sensitive gag reflex, so even swallowing one half made me gag pretty badly.

The answer to that was to cut them into fourths (a lot of them) cover them in a thin layer of peanut-butter so a) they wouldn't react to my saliva and were b) easier to swallow because there was no icky taste or jagged edges. It's a lot of prep work for something like this!

I swallowed about eight tablets in all and I got pretty big, but not as big as I'd like to be. I actually think my belly kinda deflated after an hour or so. Bummer. I could eat more, but I'm a little concerned about the chemical balance of my stomach acids and other internal good stuff. (Also it gets a little suspicious buying a bunch of alka-seltzers all at once)

The biggest I've ever gotten was by oral self-inflation by kind of doing a weird backward burp motion. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure you guys know exactly what that method is. I got really big doing this sitting up one time, but it took hours. I watched "Inception" and "The Great Gatsby" while doing this, so it was a long freakin' time before I finally gave up. I wish I could inflate that big again (hopefully even bigger) but more quickly!

I guess my next step is to purchase a balloon and try swallowing air that way. The pressure should be constant enough to keep my throat open so that all the air goes in at one time, instead of little puffs like I've been doing... I've also heard that crushing alka-seltzers into a powder first and swallowing that is a good way to get big quick, but I wonder if mixing it with peanutbutter or some other edible paste so I can swallow it will null its effect... I guess I'll have to experiment to be sure!

Do you guys know of any other ways to inflate to maximum (without hurting yourself) using air? I tried water anally today... That was a BIG mistake. Great for cleaning out the tubes, not so much for getting that nice, round belly that I wanted. Maybe anal just isn't my thing. I don't get as much cramps if I inflate orally. Bonus points if something does the inflating for me, like alka-seltzers.

Thanks for listening! I feel a bit better about this already.
