Struggling with obsession over latex inflatable clothing

Just recently for some reason I've got more into my suit inflation. Most spare moments I'm thinking about it. I've already got a latex suit and I've bought a new one from cocoon as they have a sale on and I've wanted a thicker latex one for a while.

But now I want to get more gear, a rubber drysuit, inflatable shorts, basically anything you can wear and inflate. Part of me strongly wants to buy these things and part of me is thinking it's a huge stupid waste of money and the internal struggle I'm having is causing me to feel mildly depressed, though not enough to need to see a doctor, and trying to explain to a counsellor would be major embarrassing. At the moment the sensible part is winning so I'm not buying anything, but I'm getting close to buying stuff.

Anyone else had this conflict of cost vs strong fetish feelings or has any suggestions that could help?

I have dealt with this, though not quite the same way. My personal kinks are so unique that much of the content that has been made has come out of my own pocket, via commissions. I don't make much money, and sometimes I have to tell myself no. The key is to space it out. What I do is go for months without getting anything, then get a pic or two done, and let that tide me over. It doesn't always work, lol, but hang in there! See if you can find some cheap alternatives, just to satisfied you a bit.

Well the way I see it, at least for me is that it's going towards something healthy. Hear me out here.

i don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't gamble and I don't do drugs or spend really any money (⎌other than virtual reality stuff, but even then it's controlled). Now, think of all the money I've saved, I predict hundreds. So now I have this other thing, a fetish for comfort in the form of inflatable latex. Is that unhealthy? No. It helps me to relax and I'm in an naturally euphoric state, proven to be good for health.

Do 1,000's of people share it? Absolutely. So there's a social aspect to it too. Made new friends from it too, ones I can talk to on a deep level that I can't with most IRL friends.

Could I spend the money on better things? Absolutely, but if you have the cash and know you want it, what's wrong with indulging? What else would you do, take a cheap vacation somewhere that would last a week? This would last longer and honestly, brings me more joy.

Do I know I want this, and am I true to myself on that?

I don't know your situation, but if you really want it and have wanted it for months, I honestly think it'd be a good idea to get it. Life is meant to be enjoyed and not a day should ever be wasted. You work to make money, and money is used to get things you want, whether its a house, groceries, or fetishes. It's there to be used for happiness, so do it!

Gotta agree with him on this, spend your money on what you want to spend your money on. If it were something like drugs or alcohol, I'd probably say that you have a problem on your hands, but latex clothing? Unless you're blowing thousands of dollars on this stuff while neglecting financial responsibilites like bills, what's the problem? You're spending money on things you like. Expensive things, yes, but regardless, it's what you want. I spent $1200 on a tailored suit one time that I didn't even need, but I wanted it and I had it made, and even though I could have used that $1200 on so many other things, I'm still glad I bought the suit because it's easily the best fitting piece of clothing I've ever worn in my life, not mention it makes me look damn handsome :P

As far as I can tell, you and my mother are on the same boat but in different compartments, having the issue of how much money to spend on clothing :p

I agree with everyone. You're purchasing something that not only make you feel good, but will also last a long time if you handle it correctly. I'm actually saving up for one myself. The only actual thing I'd worry about is someone finding out that I own one. It isn't exactly quiet to inflate one of those things in a fairly quick manner.

I think I've had too much...

I'm not worried about the noise. I own my house and my wife is fine with my activities as I already own a suit. We just wait till the kids are asleep. I was/am conflicted about things and needed a vent. Dunno what I am going to do about it, just need to communicate better with my other half I think!

"just need to communicate better with my other half I think!"

Best part of this entire thread.

I'll weigh in. I spend some money on clothing and props, lately its been the "out of town inflation adventure" that has cost a bit more. And even then I only do it like once or twice a year.

My opinion is: as long as you are meeting your financial responsibilities, and you are meeting your social responsibilities (hence, communicating with your partner), then have as much fun as you can fit into your latex :)

I agree, remember you only get to go around once.

I'm mean.

As long as you've got a stable source of income, you don't need to worry...
