We're weird.
Embrace it!
All too often these boards are quite, only kept alive by the occasional "sighting" on YouTube or some ass making requests XD
How have you come to deal with your interest?
Does it affect you in your day to day activities?
What words of wisdom do you have for your fellow fan?
Talk amongst yourselves. It's good for the soul.

Well, I got numerous fetishes, inflation being one, and each one is quite hard to explain. It just gets me going, thats all I can say. Let alone, its hard for me to let people know I'm gay (who likes boobs). I know people will think weird about my fetishes, but oh well.
When it comes to drawing, I haven't drew any inflation (or other fetish) pictures in my scrapbook. Because of that, I haven't draw much of it, only scraps and doodles.
But any words of wisdom... just leave things around. For me, my wallpaper on my laptop is a Gravitation pic, and today a couple students saw it. They didn't seem that shocked about it, so it made me feel good that they're alright about it. Moral is: just be natural about it. If you have a couple inflation drawings or scraps, don't hide it. ^_^
Omoikane has a good point, my brother is gay, and he is a whole lot happier now that he can be open about it.
( He has a Gravitation bag he carries around, by the way. :P )
I fell really ok about it. We have this site, where we can share ideas; so, nobody i completely alone.
My girlfriend likes the fetish and helps me a lot with it. She does enemas, wear balloons and pillows.
Sure I do not talk about it with everybody, a few friends of mine know it and see no problem.
Word o wisdom: if you are into real inflation and dont have a girlfriend or boyfriend, meet people from the BDSM world.
I'm weird in more ways than just this, but it is really very strange when you stop looking at it subjectively. "I have a fetish for women inflating like balloons" is really not the most mainstream comment one can imagine.
It's never really impacted me much in the real world except for the odd instance where a girl will confide in me that she "feels like a blimp" or something similar, and I have to conciously maintain my body language to make it not look like the comment aroused me :P
Oh god Vertigo, I flounder and argue with myself whether to not change the subject or not.
I'm sad to say that I've always been very private about this fetish. You can't imagine my exhilaration when I first found that there were others like me. No,wait. I'm betting that you've all experienced that.
I was at work, surfing the net- I had just learned how to the same week. Ah, the wonder of the search engine. It was after hours, and I was the one closing up, so I had the office to myself. I don't remember the search terms, but it might have been something as simple as "inflating breasts." Lo and behold: a friggin' story about "breasts inflating!" Wow. Someone else writes what I think!
A few frantic mouse clicks later, I found inflate123's site, and the rest is history. BTW, "Remote Possibilities" still stands out as one of the best BE stories. I guess partially because it was the first BE story I ever read to fully realize what I found appealing about the subject.
I was further surprised to see that other people had a fetish for Violet's blueberry inflation- which, of course, had been my intro into the whole thing.
I suddenly realized that I had just become a small percentage less "weird"- because there were others. Many others. And just about everyone in the inflation scene seems to be really generous and fun loving. Guess you have to have a good sense of humor about the whole thing.
I do hope someday I can be openly honest about this fetish, without involving a screenname and a keyboard.
Cheers!
Actually, my fetish is one of (if not the very first) things I tell women about when I meet them/go out on a date with them. Its worked just fine for me so far. :)

Omoikane has a good point, my brother is gay, and he is a whole lot happier now that he can be open about it.( He has a Gravitation bag he carries around, by the way. :P )
That is true, being honest is the best thing a person can do.
At school today, I showed off my notebook and people love my artwork. Its felt awesome to show my shonen-ai/borderline yaoi artwork. Some might not like the content, but they agree I'm a good artist. (Now I want a scanner even more. >.< )
I plan on finishing a picture of a pregnant merman that I have planned and see what happens. More likely they think it'll be a nice picture, but won't understand it. :roll:
Korg...really? People don't find that offputting when you open a conversation with your sexual deviance?
Inflate123,
I am not Korg, but I am very open about my fetish too. I do not know if it is due a geographical location: I am from Brazil, and here sex and fetishes are welcome! Almost nobody worries if you talk about it during lunch etc.
It is simple. When I am with a girl (not now, since I have a girlfriend), I do talk about my BI fetish. They usually enjoy the idea.
I think I said it at other post. But here I go again. All fetish is soft, nobody here thinks of scat, snuff, rape, extreme and non consensual BDSM (I guess, at least.); so, we can talk about it. BTW, it is almost an imaginary fetish, lots of imagination and few action.
So, why to worry about??
Best wishes!!!
Korg, you are my idol!
I am one that if she brings it up, Ill indulge myself while making her laugh. She'll never suspect. Cant remember if this has happened liveor just in phone conversations though :( I do get weird when my aunt, or male friends of mine comment something Ill associate with the fetish. Its very uncomfortable.
Besides that, I never had a problem with my fetish. I never felt weird or anything. I was a kid. I wasn;t really thinking about what girls would think of it. When I grew up, maybe a week or so I felt strange, but then it was gone.
My advice to fans is: please, comment on my stuff when you read it :)
Why worry? Because a lot of people will judge you based on that preference. It seems a very brave thing to open a conversation with, or a platform on which to get to know someone. Most of the time when you meet someone new, you do so by finding a common ground, a mutual interest. I've always believed that body inflation was an uncommon to rare interest and therefore not a great topic to bring up to make new friends with.
I did not tell my girlfriend (who became my wife) about it until we were in a relationship for a while. It worked out fine, but I really believe I would have scared her off if I'd been too forward or too fixated on this topic early on.
In other words, there's a lot of room between never talking about it and talking about it right off the bat.
If my coworkers knew, I'd be judged harshly. If the people who read my articles on a regular basis knew, I'd be judged harshly. I would be a joke in my industry because people would not be able to get over this unrelated element.
I think you should be open with your loved ones. But could-be loved ones? That's just a bolder, seemingly riskier choice, and that's why I asked.
I didn't tell my girlfriend intill a year in. Things were getting serious, and I wanted to have everything out on the table.
My brother figured it out, but he had his own secret, so it kind was ok with us. I don't think I'd ever tell my friends or Co-Workers...its just too personal and awkward.
I never told anybody about my interest in inflation until I was comfortable with the situation surrounding my leaking of personal secrecy...
I have a friend with some rather tame interests, for example he was a serious sucker for tights/pantyhose and lycra/spandex and was always so open about it with me. Now also being a sucker for those same items I used to play around and share the interest with him (being what I consider to be bisexual I wasnt afraid to walk around in tights when we stayed at each others houses, and he'd do the same) I would sometimes play with the idea of inflation around him and talk about my interest, it wasn't his thing but he understood. We'd inflate each other, watch inflation clips and draw pictures together.
(sounds like homosexual romance, but I can assure you we were just very close friends... like girls are)
He was the only person I spoke to about inflation and it helped me become a lot more open about the subject.
Many years passed and we gradually lost contact as he moved away. This forum and surrounding inflation websites were my only place to confide.
Then I met my girlfriend.
We talked about fetishes and the like and became completely open about our interests, fantasies and turn-ons. Yet I still hesitated with the subject of inflation and it was a good long year before I told her about it.
Now we share the activities I had with my old friend and more... it's unbelievable how much our relationship has changed. It's just wonderful.
~ Words of wisdom...
Um, Seriously when you have reached comfortability with your fetish for inflation and you have that moment in which to share it... SHARE IT!
Or you may never know the happines of having an inflatable love. ^^
Oh god Vertigo, I flounder and argue with myself whether to not change the subject or not.
To what? I'm not too good at picking up on these kinds of cues :(
I don't think it really affects my life in any drastic way... I'm open about it online on other non-inflation forums, but in real life I've yet to truly tell anyone.
I came close once though with a friend. I told him that I had a weird sexual interest, but I decided against going any further than that (I made sure to make it clear I wasn't gay or a paedophile though XD Nothing wrong with the first one, but it is indeed quite annoying having people think you're gay when you aren't or vice versa, I guess)... Maybe one day when I pluck up the courage.
He's kinda weird himself, since he dresses in velvet-y clothes and weird, theatrical stuff just for the heck of it. I don't think he's into it sexually of course, it's just an odd preference... I just can't see myself saying "I'm into women blowing up like balloons" since that's too friggin' weird a thing to say to someone =P
kuumuzu, your story is awesome.

Maybe Korg is such a friendly, charismatic guy people cant help but find him cute even if he says something like "I like the idea of a woman inflatiing like a balloon"
Thanks darth that's appreciated. ^^

I still don't consider our group to be weird though. We're just 'original' and it feels good to have something that other people probably haven't even contemplated or thought could be a possible fetish.
Sure it's 'different' but it's not something that should be hated.
Sure THEY may think that we ARE weird, but come on... it's not that bad really is it? I just wish non-inflation people would just take a step back and look from another angle, take that small pinch of salt, etc.
God, what am I talking about...
Forgive my rant. ^^;
I remember I finally admitted to my girlfriend about a year into our relationship, but I said it with a fear that she might think I was a freak and hate me. She actually threw the fetish into our RPs that we did every so often, and we ended up using it almost every time we did. Even to this day, when we're broken up, I still write her inflation stories, and sometimes we RP again with the same result. I'm almost positive she has the fetish, but she won't admit to it.
But yeah, I have two lives, one as a creator of ameteur art and games and etc, and then this one which only a select few know about. I think only 4 people know, but 3 of them understand it. 2 of them are girls, both who think its 'hot' for some unknown reason...
Hi. My name is Double Integral, and I am an inflation and pregnancy fetishist.
("Hello, Double...")
I have posted some of this before, but here goes...
I have had an interest in inflation at least since I was about 5. Inflation was a non-sexual thing at first, stemming from Inspector Gadget (I believe) and I always used to pretend I could do my own go-go-Gadget-coat. However, it transformed into a sexual thing (and a fetish for girls only) when I was first exposed to Wonka in my first grade class, and I became embarrassed while watching it because I hoped no one else could see my boner.
I'm not really sure where my pregnancy fetish came from. I was the youngest child, so I never saw my mom pregnant, and I don't specifically recall any noteworthy encounters with pregnant women. But, suffice it to say that I have always had a sixth sense when it comes to the preggo. My cute first grade teacher was having a pretty bad day near the end of the year, and I specifically remember walking up to her desk and asking, "Mrs. Robinson, are you pregnant?" I don't remember why I knew what being pregnant meant, nor why I thought she was pregnant (no physical hints, and she hadn't said anything). But I will never forget the simultaneous look of confusion and disbelief on her face. It is something that still amuses me 17 years later, because school let out for the summer soon after that, and when it started back up, there was Mrs. Robinson, pregnant and larger than life (to a 7-year-old, at least). Then a second grader, I remember being extremely jealous of her students.
All that is to say that first grade (odd as it sounds) was very much a coming-of-age period in my life. Those early seeds were nurtured with 13 years of public school education and parents who were very forthright with me about sexual matters when I got older. Now, I never shared either of these fetishes with my parents (would be too weird), but they educated me enough to know that everybody has different tastes and that I should not be ashamed of mine.
By contrast, my wife was extremely sheltered while she was growing up. Her parents had her in private school until high school age, and they (her mom, especially) were very evasive about the subject of sex. As such, a year into dating she was extremely uncomfortable even calling body parts by their real names, so spilling the beans about my bizarro kinks hardly seemed timely. However, over the course of almost five years together (and now seven months of marriage) she is still gradually becoming a sexual freak in her own right. At some point (I don't remember exactly when... 2-3 years ago) I decided she was ready to know, and so she is the only person "in the real world" that knows.
At first she was simply amused by my pregnancy fetish, and poked fun at me whenever she caught me eyeing a belly from afar. However, over time she actually adopted a pregnancy fetish of her own. When we're out and about and one of us spots a pregnant women, we'll announce "RADAR" (our code word) and then comment on how attractive the gal is. A couple weeks ago we were walking by the maternity section at Target (sigh... God bless the Target maternity section) and saw one particularly good-looking girl who was really big and wearing a spaghetti-strap tank top. My wife said, "God, she is so big and hot." I was content to ogle from a distance, but my extrovert wife puffed her belly out as far as possible (she can fake really well), walked over and actually struck up a conversation with this chick based on the false pretense of my wife being pregnant and wanting to know where this girl got such an adorable shirt. They even took turns touching each others' bellies. Finally my wife walked back over to me, grinned, and said, "Yes, it WAS as good as it looked." Not fair.
The inflation fetish has been a little different for her. At first, it never really interested her. But, like I said earlier, even now she is still in the process of coming out of her shell sexually. A few months ago she realized while fooling around with herself that she was capable of licking her own nipple. She found this to be extremely hot, and it kicked off a desire to have bigger breasts. Then, some time later, she mentioned that she wanted her ass, which is simply amazing, to get bigger. I joked that if she wants both of those and a big belly, she might as well want to be a balloon. After that, she finally put it all together into her own inflation fetish. The last story I wrote, Big Enough for Now, was actually partially written for her; normally my characters become perfect spheres, but at my wife's request, the girl in the story retains very large breasts and a large butt.
The point of all this? Tell your significant other... it might actually turn out well for you.
It is very interesting how so many of us have very similar life stories.It is so wild.I envy those of us who had another to confide in and share these desires with.
It would definitely be a help.
Well, you've always got us to confide in. ^_-
Thank You,for saying,Kuumuzu! I think that you are one of the few truly understanding folk.
Your little bit of history sounds very similar to mine,except i didn't have any close friend that would have understood my fetish,let alone share in my activities.
I mean I have a couple of best friends,and they would just mark it up as "yep,he's weird,we already knew that".
It would be great to find someone that shares my facinations.I am searching.
I get it that some folks do not want to hear about some of our physical activities.There are just different levels to this fetish;illustration,fantasys,RP/physical RP,real body inflation.
I think I practice almost all of them,or at least have at some time in my life.
Regarding your reply back a bit (weird.etc.),I agree,i guess, on our group not being weird.
It is what you compare our level of weirdness to.
There are far more twisted things out there that the public should be concerned about,rather than our harmless little band.
When I call myself weird or odd,I guess Im comparing myself to the majority of people that don't have any *seemingly* strange attractions.
Although,a person that collects like 100's of pairs of shoes OR is compelled to collect 100's of salt/pepper shakers OR filling your house with dolls are some of the things that I consider odd.
No problem. ^^;
I'm sure that in time you'll find somebody that you can talk to or share activities with. Like I've said countless times before I'm sure there are plenty of people here willing to listen.
As for collecting hundreds of salt and pepper shakers... that is a little odd.
(no offence to anybody that does of course!)
Yeah... I have to agree, someone would always be interested to hear about our fetish. I know my best friend might think it as weird (but in a good way), since we got in a discussion about men dressing in women's clothes for fun in bed. (I'll admit, some things I would SO put on for a boyfriend.)
And about collecting salt/pepper shakers... I always picture grandparents collecting those. My mom is starting to collect them. >_<
I swear,it is true.I have seen them myself,in a customers home.
Although,I have to admit to "doll" collecting myself. "Action Figures"
I collect comic book character figures.I have a giant mass of them.A mass so big,its density has sucked in all my money.
^_^ I do not have them sitting all over though.They are in secure facility.
EEERRRRRRRRR!!Off Topic!!
Anyway,Since you mentioned it,this forum has helped me,I have been able to talk about my interests with others that share them.
I have only recently found these sites.
I wished that I had done a search for this awhile ago.
I just did not think that there were very many other people interested that we would have websites (wow,more than one even),devoted to the art and other pursuits of inflation.
The one thing that i always find funny,is how many of us recall the same first few images of people inflating that just froze us with facination.
Violet:check
Has there been a post where we have all listed as many of the inflation/expansion bits in movies that we could recall??
I have found several of my faves on cheap video tapes.
The point of all this? Tell your significant other... it might actually turn out well for you.
I didn't repeat my oft-told tale of how my wife and I came to celebrate this weird kink, but it's similar to Double's tale, so make this another vote for this course of action. If you're stable and it looks like he or she is "the one," tell. It pays off.
::Takes a deep breath::
Okay, I'm ready to unlurk.
It's pretty obvious that everyone has their own personal preference on "inflation." I'm still sort of trying to figure out mine completely, hence why I'm here.
Is it different, or even incredibly weird? Yes. :) However, inflation is a just form of expansion and many "normal" people think body expansion is incredibly sexual. Just look at some women who get breast implants, pregnancy, or others who enjoy a behind that has grown over the months. In my mind, inflation is nothing but that sort of expansion sped up using a everyday occurance in a fantastical method.
(Wow. . . That definitely was a little more complicated than I first intended.)
Must be nervous.
I haven't really talked to anyone about this before, so I'm kind of trying to see what I can make of everything.
Hi new person MariF!
Welcome to our merry band of interesting folks.
It does feel good to release some of the pent up feelings;I am quite often TOO chatty about myself on here because I also had never told anyone about my "interests" before discovering this fine site.
I just get excited that I now know there are other people who are like me.
You will find understanding folks around,whenever you want to talk about anything.
See a topic and add your say OR start a new topic entry if you do not see something that fits what you want to know or want to say.
::Takes a deep breath::It's pretty obvious that everyone has their own personal preference on "inflation." I'm still sort of trying to figure out mine completely, hence why I'm here.
Welcome to the group! I've been seeing folks have the same reaction for several years now, with question of "where do I fit in?" and "there are other people like me?" getting answers for the first time in their lives. Ask n' chat away, we'll definitely answer.
Eh, I've always been a social misfit, so it's never been that big of a deal to say "Hey, I like it when I see women being inflated like balloons!". I also have no problem running into a crowd and howling like a wolf, or attempting to smash a PS2 across my face...
My life is interesting to say the least.
haha thats cool
I think, in my real life, the notion is there, but it's deep down, not something that really distracts my everyday life. If anything, my everyday life distracts my fetish :lol: .
My kink, along with the rest of you all, is just as interesting as anything. Usually, in my case, it's the quiet, reserved types you got to watch out for. You never know how "innocent" they really are. :twisted:
HAAAAHAHA! Hey,Thatoneguy do you do all those actions at once?That would be unique.
Yeah,Fairia,thats how I was feeling,my daily life responsibilities seem like a hindrance to my fetishes.
I sadden myself.
Oh to be ridiculously wealthy and no grinding job to be at.
Actually,if I had unlimited fetish time and money,who knows what craziness I would end up getting myself into.
I learned to accept my strange interest because of two things. One, its harmless. Two, most people have a wierd kink, mine is just more unique.
Sometimes I find myself influenced by my fetish, trying to find it wherever I can. In the end, when inflation comes from an unexpected place, its a lot of fun.
My main words of wisdom: Picrures DO NOT make this easier to explain to someone. Seriously.
