If I involved young kids in my stories, would you hate me?

I wouldnt hate you. I just wouldnt read it.

I hate kids.

Im not really sure. Most of us probably did get this from youth (as we do mostly everything), but when I was 12 thinking about this I wasnt thinking about girls my age.

The short answer: No I wouldn't hate you.
However: I wouldn't host such a story on this site.

This is a fetish site, there's no getting around that. While I understand that not everyone's interest in inflation is sexual in the conventional interpretation of the word, for many inflationists it is. Once you start down that path, things get dangerous. There are plenty of stories on this site that don't involves sexual themes, but I still consider them to be fetish stories.

I can post this kind of story at the blueberry girl group. I cant find the adress right now.
BTW, I dont enjoy this kind of story.

The mainstream? The mainstream sees us as weird? What mainstream? DOnt be paranoid. Just because we get flamed at DA doesnt mean someone is taking action. DOnt exaggerate. Mostly, nobody gives a crap what happens in the internet.

And fetishes (sexual fetishes as opposed to acient fetish objects) are sexual, whether theres actual sex or not. I get turned on by a woman walking by. I find it sexual, but of course, she is not having sex, she is walking.

It's been done in the past, even when kept innocent, and it hasn't turned out well. People make accusations and everybody walks away feeling hurt or dirty or both. So...not recommended, at least not for posting within these communities. A pure fantasy fiction site, where there are no sexual overtones, is a better bet if you still want to explore the topic as a writer.

If you mean as in kids cartoons, yeah, no prob.

People seems to forget not eveything is about sex... >_>

Remember people: the Blueberry scene was a terror/suspense/scifi thing. Not erotic or porn. Watch cartoons for children from the 80ies onwards, and you'll find lots of inflation. Calm down. I'm getting sick with the "It's inflation, so it's sexual" label.

Darnit, I like to read/watch a good porn myself. But don't label porn what is NOT porn.

Well you be right about the non-sexual thing if he wasn't in a clearly sexaulized community talking about it. It's not like any of us are here to admire "art". Yes some people see inflation as a funny and scary, but not us. Just like bare feet aren't arousing or remotely sexualized to me, but to Victorian men or my friend they are. The sexualization of the situation is what matters not direct sexaul content. I never have too much direct sexual content in my fantsies. Only once and a while, but it always contains girls I liked at the time. No real direct sexual content, but I am clearly having a reaction that is sexual. I see a strong tendency for people to pretend, if only mildly, that this is not a sexual. If you disagree, just look around. How many pictures or stories in this community don't depict someone cute or attractive if not flat out hot? You maybe like me in that direct sexual references in inflation can turn you off to the story or pic, but it can still be quite sexually all the same. I suspect the vast majority of us are into this as a sexual thing, but not a overtly sexual thing. It's a very specailized porn.

The point is, much of it IS sexual.

In a government class I took once, the prof said that one of the worst things public officials can encounter is corruption or merely the appearance of corruption. It's all about perception. So, if an inflation story involving a child is posted among lots of other stories with sexual undertones, on a site whose goals including satisfying the sexual desires of its visitors, it will be classified (fairly or unfairly, it doesn't really matter) as porn. Especially if it is alphabetically titled such that it appears next to a story that heavily features sexual content, such as Essence of Justice, Airgasm, or any number of others.

I fully understand and respect that inflation is not sexual for everybody. I am also not saying that it is unilaterally wrong to write such a story. I just don't think it should be posted here.

Yeah, but most of us aren't on this site for the terror/suspense/scifi aspect. Like Luther Kane said, this is a fetish site and there just ain't no way around that.

This is a bad idea in this particular community. I for one am not looking for anything involving children.

Now if it were some kind of fantasy tale geared toward children, well away from this community...that's a horse of another color. That's well out of my realm of interest.

Just my two cents.

I have to agree with Inflate123, regardless of Cboy's intent ( Which actually seems pretty innocent to me ) this will probably be negativly recieved, at least among fetish sites. Writing.com or something like that may be a better alternative.

Wait, just because the story is PG doesnt mean its not sexual. It is sexual to me. A story rated R is not sexual to me, because I dont want sex with my inflation. That doesnt mean it doesnt turn me on.

When we talk about something being sexual, its because its appealing sexually. It doesnt mean it literally has to have intercourse.

This poses a problem for the definitions of pornography. Is pornography only that which presents actual sexual intercourse? And, why is it bad for something to be labeled as pornographic? If its against the law, yes. If its not, who cares.

A woman eating ice cream isnt supposed to be sexual, yet I find it sexual. Does that mean it is not sexual just because I find it sexual when its not? When does something not sexual becomes sexual? I say when I see it sexually, its automatically sexual, even if thats not the intent. Of course, that doesnt mean its a bad thing, or that the person is coming on to me. The media and popular culture are too short sighted to see it that way.

One thing inflation fetishism shows is that almost anything can be seen as sexual by someone. I look at or think about people being inflated and i just cannot imagine anyone finding that a turn off or unerotic (usually, though there are some gross ones) but to the huge majority of people it just isn't sexual. Therefore, if an inflation story is taken elsewhere and seen in a different context, it will not be seen as sexual. I don't know if Roald Dahl actually meant Violet's inflation to be sexual, but i very much doubt that the average parent, reading it to their child as a bedtime story perhaps, would even dream of that interpretation. This is part of the weirdness of what we are into. However, seen here or on some other expansion fetishist site or group, it is going to be understood as intended as a sexual thing. We have to be careful about this of course, but maybe it could be taken elsewhere and not seen as sexual. It doesn't belong here, i don't think. Even elsewhere, you would have to examine your motives carefully.

Uhh...thanks?

Look, the thing is I consider things sexual if they turn me on, independent of the intent. The tiny toons clip isnt supposed to turn people on, but it turns me on. Thats why Im here.

If stories can pass as something else...then thats ok I guess. By the way, even if theres noone turned on in the story, I am. And, like Ive said before, I actually dislike when someone in the story is turned on.

As always, LVKane sums it up better than we can. lol

I'll organize my points so that in the future you can just indicate by number which ones you're not getting, and I can just indicate by number which ones you're ignoring.

#1: The vast majority of people in the general population do not consider inflation to be sexual.

#2: This general population is the target audience of most media.

#3: The creator of such media can reasonably assume that his audience is not going to interpret inflation as sexual.

#4: A reasonable person can safely conclude that Tim Burton is not trying to sexualize Violet when he films her inflating into a giant blueberry.

#5: An extremely small portion of the population views inflation as sexual.

#6: You have chosen to present your story idea at BodyInflation.org.

#7: You can reasonably assume that a large portion of the audience at BodyInflation.org will view inflation as sexual.

#8: A reasonable person might conclude that you intend to sexualize children and can definitely conclude that you don't care that this is the likely outcome of your actions.

Points #1-#4 outline what I refer to as "the general case" and explain why there have not been objections to depictions of inflating children in cartoons overs the years and why nobody is chewing Tim Burton's butt.

Points #5-#8 outline why this case differs from the general case. If you can understand these, then you'll understand why people are chewing your butt.

Points #1 and #5 reveal that the assumption on which you base your question ("If simple inflation itself is considered sexual...") is nonsensical. If you rephrase the question using the active voice instead of the passive voice, this becomes quite clear.

This was never in question. We're just saying it doesn't matter.

Okay I'm sorry to bring this topic back into play.

But if Cboy can't do a story, why was Mr.Oma allowed to submit this?

http://bodyinflation.org/index.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&meta=lastup&cat=0&pos=1

I'm not offended or anything and I'm not trying to
stir up a hornets nest. But I am just naturally
curious.

Roger64,

It's a legitimate question, and I probably don't have a satisfactory answer. I saw the submission and thought "inflating anime chick" rather than "inflating underage girl", so I didn't really give the matter much thought.

I'm sure there are a number of similar examples throughout the site that I haven't really given proper consideration to.
