I'm writing a story that will involve a inflation due to space decompression and I need some help describing the process (I have this obsession with detailing things in my inflation stories). Also, though this may sound wierd, is there even the smallest chance that such an inflation could feel orgasmic?

Yeah, that's not really the way to go. I've always found space decompression about one of the least desirable prospects for death. Freezing while decompressing while having your blood boil out your ears doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosive_decompression
"Misunderstandings of the meaning of the words are quite likely to be a fueling factor for a persistent myth that humans would explode if exposed to the non-pressure of space. It is surmised that while vacuum exposure would cause swelling, skin is tough enough to handle a drop of one atm. A sudden drop of eight atm, on the other hand, has been known to have rather grislier results."
Still, don't let this hamper your writing in any way.

Wait a sec. How do they know the results at 8 atm?
I'm about ta hurl on that one.

Diving Bell Incident....decompression is in NO way a good premise for inflation....*shudders*

*shudders too* scary when something you had previously considered 'fetish' comes (party) true like that... but of course with less, how shall we say... 'erotic' consquences

Inflation itself is considered repulsive by some already. so doing what Carnatic did on New Recruit doesnt make it worse in the eyes of some people. Decompression in space, in cartoons, is done by inflating. So, a cartoonish fetish like hours doing space decompression the same way shouldnt be frowned upon. In New Recruit, carnatic doesnt care if her eyes in real life would pop out, or anything gross like that. Just inflate her like in a cartoon. No point in rationalizing it.

It's fiction, so no shudders here. But if you wanted to do a space decompression right you'd want to have the story basically be based like a horror story or something, very dark, and maybe even a little too dark for some people, but it should be that dark/chilling. And be detailed, there is nothing worse then an really short non descriptive story.

The inflation isn't going to be a realistic decompression involving blood and guts and all that. It's going to involve "cartoonish" inflation, and being that, I was thinking it might be possible to make it orgasmic.
Is Big Horse availalbe for comment, because he's done some decompression inflations and he would probably be able to help me.

well to be honest, once you break with reality by not having a realistic decompression (which wouldn't inflate the victim) then you are free from contraints on whether it is realistic to have an orgasm while inflating during a decompression... You've completely made up the way in which the inflatee decompresses so you can make up consequences such as an orgasm. Like noone can say it wouldn't be orgasmic because noone has ever actually inflated before to try it, the whole process exists only in your mind and in your story.
So in short, if you want her to find it a turn on then she can find it a turn on.

cboy, I agree with what you said. Although, Im still a little skeptical to the orgasmic thing. I dont like it in regular stories, so I wont like it anyway with decompression. Decompression might be a factor, even if its cartoonish decompression involving inflation, its still too unpleasurable to be orgasmic. And, like I said, I dont like orgasmic inflations anyway. It takes the whole point out of it, IMO. But of course, you do whatever you want.

"Chunks of his body were found scattered about the rig"
o.O
Too sick, at least "His death would almost certainly have been painless and instantaneous".
Decompression is too violent for a thing like this, stick to less... violent means of inflation
Fri, 06/30/2006 - 10:16
#14
naw, I've gotten over that now, that was a drop of 8atm, we're only talking a drop of 1atm, which wouldn't really cause you to inflate... wouldn't kill you either. We can just fantasise about it causing cartoon style inflation.

Im having the same crisis Im having with people on a Rathani journal on DA about bursting. You are just not understanding. Cartoons inflate in space. Why is it disgusting on a story? We are not talking about real frgging decompression. If you put a helium tank's hose on high on a person's mouth, you would kill them, maybe grossly, tearing their insides. When we think it, we think about the person inflating. See? Our fetish itself, and it projected to decompression follows this same principle.

This has always been a bit of a fascination to me. What exactly would happen to someone exposed to the vacuum of space? I know its not exactly inflation or fetish based but its a topic of interest for someone who's a science fiction fan. Would they die of suffocation or exposure to extreme cold or would they simpy be flash frozen? In the book series based off of 2001 a space oddessey, the astronaut that is sent spinning off into space with his air hose broken in 2001 (the book and the movie) is revived after being found drifting in space 1000 years later. Arthur C Clarke is usually pretty on the ball with science but I always wondered.

There are many good articles on it, namely this one http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/ask_astro/answers/970603.html
None of those things you mentioned would happen, but mainly alot of simpler stuff.

Ya know, while I find the factuall version of this fascinating and of interest...I think Ill stick to the whole women blow up to the size of a hindenberg when exposed to vacuum, as far as my inflation fetish is concerned anyways. Thats just me though

Huh... Never knew that. I suppose that the body would eventually freeze after a time but the person would almost certainly be dead by that point from oxygen deprivation. Well, that's comforting at least. It's a lot less grizzly then I would have expected.

Im with you korgfal.
Havent read the link, but I read once that the thing is that your cells supposedly expand, because of something about stretching out looking for qxygen or whatever. I know its vague, and I probably even have wrong what I read.
Sun, 07/02/2006 - 13:36
#22
only the cells exposed to space I guess would expand... which aren't that important, dead skin cells mainly... and no they don't 'look for oxygen' they aren't sentient it would just be the pressure difference. I imagine that if provided with an air tank for breathing then you could survive a vaccuum.

Well, of course they are not sentient. I dont mean they look for them voluntarily. Its a figure of speech.

Not trying to sound rude or anything, but I really don't get why we're discussing whether or not a human being would inflate if exposed to a vacuum.
I mean, hardly any of the methods used in any of the stories or pictures on this site would lead to a real life inflation, so why are we debating the reality of a space decompression inflation?
Let's get back on topic, which is how to describe a space decompression inflation in my story. How would you describe it if you were doing it in a story?
Mon, 07/03/2006 - 01:23
#25
Cboy, you're talking in circles. Since you're not interested in reality, you can describe your explosive decompression inflation any way you like.
(The reality is that a victim of explosive decompression looks like they'd been beaten to death with a baseball bat -- lots of black and blue, some bleeding, but no bursting of any sort.)
Mon, 07/03/2006 - 05:59

It all depends on the time and how many drops of ATM they are exposed to. How they survive doens't matter: I have seen many tv shows where a person holds his breath and goes into outer space. In real life, that is the worst possible thign you could do, but in a tv show like Cowboy Beebop, where it is supposed to be realistic, it works. So go ahead and do what you want. BTW poeple, the term "realistic" is used to refer to the proportion of reality used and the style. Of course ifnlation isn't possible, but you cna have a "realistic" story by having people talking instead of cats.

Cboy, I stand by my suggestion. I think for decompression, the inflation has to be described in a sort of detail, certain flare and poofiness, because they would be getting inflated without stopping, by a natural force thats unsympathetic. I dont know if I make sense. It does make sense to me. Getting her beyond proportions, parade balloon size (of course, I love every story with that size anyway). So, read some of IHM and Luther and Carnatic's stuff, or look over your favorites, and get some inspiration.

I'm a huge fan of Ylandra's space decompression vids. I'm also a science buff, so I know a bit about pressure physics. Here's an idea I have.
What if, before she bursts, she's picked up by a passing ship? While in the docking bay, a suppression field is put around her to prevent her from swelling any bigger. Don't have them repressurize the bay just yet tho...have them say it'll take a few minutes, and end with her starting to enjoy being bloated.

I believe they're compressed using DivX, so you may need to download it. It's free, and it plugs in directly to Windows Media Player.

I had forgotten I downloaded Divx and I have never seen ylandra's stuff. The decompressed stuff is amazing really. Great expansion stuff. I love it how he does cheecks and stuff like that. Very poofy like.

Becasue they probably get their talents from stuff such as college. Most poeple (hopefully) do not just attain a skill or hold a skill unused. If htye are a good artist or writer, they most likely do it for a living.

If the astronaut is a man I actually can see why it be orgasmic. If the mans suit is inflating maybe because of over inflation in the suit, this could lead to alot of pressure going on the guy, which would give him an erection, and maybe just before it pops he orgasms.

Just because this is a general ignorance that always annoyes me, you don't freeze in space. Space is freezing, but there's nothing in it, there's nothing to take away the heat, it can't go anywhere, you stay hot like you stay in motion.
Fri, 06/30/2017 - 12:13
#43
well yes, exactly. It's not freezing, and pressure difference is safe although sensitive, but there's nothing to breathe. Also, it looks rather comical - your skin puffs up like a balloon around your body, your everything becomes puffy, arms and legs like trunks, huge abdomen, even a face like a pillow with huge cheeks. Eyes remain where they are and don't change.
Alexei Leonov used to let air out of his space suit in order to return into their space ship, when he got back to his crewmate he did it in vacuum holding his breath. Alexei described the effect in quite a lot of detail in his book

um
what
I doubt it. If you want to do it orgasmic, space desompression is the place where you wouldnt want it. I mean, its fantasy and all, but the point of space decompression is to be unpleasant, and thats an understatement. Its like writing a story about a woman who has orgasms dying at the bottom of the sea, as her insides tear apart...
Sure, space decompression with inflation is not to be so graphic. No inflation should be, but I think orgasmic is out of the question. Might give a whole page on somethingawful. Not because of the inflation, but because she is enjoying being decompressed in space! It even sounds taboo...lol
