New here, but been around body inflation since 1996 (ahhhh, the memories).
My question is as follows:
Are you aroused by the inflation or is that only part of what floats your boat? For example in the origional Wonka movie when Violet inflates there are mixed reactions from all around her. In a way she ceases to become a person but instead an object, and spoken about as if that's the case ('I got a blueberry for a daughter'), even poked and prodded. When people see what's going on they cease speaking to her, offering suggestions on what to do to help the inflating girl. Violet herself is powerless to stop what is happening, losing control over one of the few things a person truely owns, their body, yet remains aware of her predicament.
So is the inflation only part of your fetish? Would it be the same if the person in question didn't react to it at all? Is what goes on around the inflatee as important as what is happening to them?
Just curious...
For me, it's a mix of things.
While the thoughts of 'body inflation' work in my mind, I prefer inflatable suit scenarios and the like. (Mainly becuase they can be feasable.)
What I get a kick out of is cohesion of the process like the look of the suit billowing up with air, the sounds, the smells, the feeling of the suit pressing against you or her, the clearer shine of the suit that comes forth as all the wrinkles dissapear. Not to mention the normal indiviudal being transformed into an huge exagerated helpless version of themselves. The idea is completly laughable to any normal person, and I agree. It IS weird, but I just go with it.
While the inflation is a big factor, the individual in the suit is just as important.
The person having the scenario forced on them is a turn on, as well as someone doing it to themselves intentionally. An very important thing, is the individual must enjoy it. The person can be terrified beyond all reason but in the end, there must be some sort of enjoyment to it. Like she wants to get away but the feeling of being blown up arrouses her, she becomes conflicted between fear and pleasure. She absoleutly hates what's happening but deep down, she secretly or ends up loving it during or afterwards. Sievert's story; Airgasm is a good example if memory serves.
The individual doesn't even have to be helpess though. The idea where the indiviudal is completly mobile is great too (with minor restraint in some areas, like slight trouble walking or moving their limbs in some directions). Opposite to the helpless role of being inflated, her being dominating in this mobile form is very arousing.
I could keep rambling on but I'll stop here. When I think about it, inflation for me kinda just boils down to anothor category of bondage and or restraint.
