Other Methods?

Yoga inflation?

And I'm just curious, what kind of results (in terms of size) did you get with the Diet Coke / Mentos? What kind of results are you looking for?

Don't do any of these until several hours after eating, or it may cause vomiting, which is dangerous because of the risk of choking. Stop immediately if you think you're going to be sick. I've done this hundreds of times and it's never happened, but there is a small risk.

I would say use Plavini, the Yoga technique, and yes, do stop if there's any pain. Lie down and relax, then take a deep breath. This next bit is the most difficult to describe. What you do is breathe out slowly or gulp the air down into your stomach, in the same way as you would if you are trying to make yourself burp. Carry on until you feel full. Then wait a few minutes and do it again. While you're doing this, lie on your sides and swap over every now and again. The natural movements of your stomach and intestines will draw the air down while you wait, making space for more air.

You can also try these:

Hold your breath either in or out while you or your partner holds your nose, takes a deep breath and slowly blows it out into your mouth. Let them do it again a couple of times. This will achieve the same effect and has the advantage of participation.

Alternatively, you can use a bicycle pump. Once again, hold your nose and stick the tube of a bicycle pump in your mouth. Then either you or your partner can start pumping. The capacity of a bicycle pump is only about a pint, and that of the stomach is around five quarts, so it doesn't fill up too quickly, at least ten pumps should do it, and while that's happening the air will gradually trickle through to your intestines.

One problem with these last two methods is the ears. There are tubes connecting the ears to the throat, and being too forceful can put pressure on your eardrums and burst them. In younger people, this heals without scarring but if it happens a lot, scars form which can impair hearing permanently. So, either go gently or "clench" your ears - i can't describe how to do this.

I would say the disadvantages of inflation by mouth are the risk of vomiting and the fact that the stomach fills up quickly and it's a little hard to get past it, but it works if you wait and it only takes a few minutes to fill you up completely.

NEVER have air blown into your vagina. This can cause sudden death. I have actually blown air into someone before i knew this, and i got away with it, but it isn't worth the risk and it doesn't even seem to work very well. I would also think it could cause endometriosis, which is a condition where you bleed internally during periods. Also, don't try blowing into a penis, as it would be unbelievably painful. I would also steer clear of inflation using liquid of any kind because it could also kill by water intoxication. Besides that, you have to be quite gentle anyway. Rubbing lavender oil into your belly first also helps. There is also a herb, cramp bark (Viburnum opulus), that if you take it a couple of hours before you start, will relax the muscle tissue in your internal organs enough to make it easier and give bigger results.

It takes a lot of air to make people inflate. Once the stomach and intestines have filled up, which takes about forty pints of air i would say, the expansion is much slower because the air is compressed by the elasticity of your insides, and it takes a long time to get any further.

So: do it slowly and gently, and don't go too far the first few times. Eventually your body will get used to it and you will be able to get more air down. The time scale would probably be around fifteen minutes.

There may be some pain afterwards, and this can be quite bad. You can avoid this by having a warm bath after with relaxing oils like lavender.

I hope that helps.

Fantasy just ain't enough I suppose.

Wow... I didn't know people would take inflation to an extreme, but Nineteenthly explained a lot of things. I was confused by the first couple of posts on how this can be done, but he clarified everything.

Though I might not take it to these extreme, but I agree that a person should follow common sense. If it hurts, stop and take steps in the process. Much like working out, you should never push your limits during the first time.

I've done it hundreds of times and i am still incredibly healthy and fit. Common sense says there is a risk, but everything in life carries a risk, like driving or crossing the road. As to why, well, in physical terms for me, this is the best experience it's possible for me to have, so why would i not want to do it?

I have medical experience, training and education and work in a medical profession (don't want to be more specific). I had various reasons for choosing this career of course, but one of them was to find out as much as possible about the risks and possibilities of actual inflation. I don't want to treat the information i've found as privileged, high priest type knowledge that only "initiates" are allowed to know, so i positively want to share my experience and knowledge with others. I suppose one problem with hospitalisation, apart from it being a problem in itself, would be that it could bring inflation fetishism into disrepute, but that's a bit of a weird idea anyway because who in the mainstream would think it was "normal"? The big problem, i suppose, would be that it might be considered primarily dangerous and the kind of thing people are lured into doing, or maybe coerced, like erotic suffocation or that incident where someone offered themselves up to be eaten. However, you can never _know_ anything is safe, and people take bigger risks all the time through their everyday activities, like alcohol, diet, lack of exercise and driving.

I agree with Inflate123 here. Anything from (inflatable) costumes to stuffed clothing would be a healthier alternative.

Well I know I am a little late getting in on this topic.Anyway,good stuff by 19THLY.I have been trying to find someone who practiced it and also knew the hidden dangers of doing it long term.I always eat very little when I am preparing.I have combined air and water expansion a few times,you have to have trained your body at this for awhile before knowing how far to push yourself to larger expansion.In all things of body modification related to this,you cannot speed up the process of development.I had stopped doing it awhile back just for the reason that several of you mentioned,I was concerned about what it would do to my intestines,etc. over the long term.

there is someone that would inflate me(a men) i am a 17 student . italian...
