Since a few years I asked myself questions about why I do like to inflate ( simulated ) or stuff my clothes with pillows. I dod that since my childhood. So at work I have a program who cover psychiatrist session. So after shopping around explaining my case I finnaly found one. So since 4 months I seeing her. The first session was very strange because I open up to someone. But she make me very confortable so at the fourth session I asked her if i could inflate during the session and she said yes. So at the fifth session I arrived with my tights on, bodysuit on with my deflated giant beachball under and over I had a track suit. It took 10 minutes to get my courage to ask her if I could inflate. She aggreed so I had to take off my track suit to reveale myself in woamn tights and spandex bodysuit. I was sure she was goinf to laugh but not. I connected my hand pump to the beachball hand start pumping slow. I WAS SO SHY!!!!!! She was asking all sorts of questions. To a certain size I stoped pumping and she asked me why? I told her i was shy. She told me if getting bigger would make me feel better, to go a head.so I kept pumping but I did not go to the extreme. She helped me a lot to accept my inflation life. Now I also go out in public stuffed big. And Im still seeing her once a week
Seeing a psychiatrist
If it makes you feel better go for it, I don't really worry about it. Do tell, if you want, what the professional opinion on the matter is though. I can't afford nor would want to go to a psychiatrist, just another person telling me I'm crazy :P
I don't want to put people off, but i had a much less positive experience with a couple of therapists which, among other things, eventually completely turned me off the idea of therapy of any kind. The first therapist i spoke to about it we didn't really go into it because i was there for other reasons. The second therapist was the worst. She refused to believe me when i told her, and ended up saying that if it was true for me, it was true for her, which i thought was complete rubbish.
My last therapist was a little more successful. He was fascinated by it and we discussed it in depth, but he ended up trying to cram it into a transactional analysis model of parent-adult-child, which i thought was deeply inappropriate.
As a result, i am completely disillusioned with conventional therapy and am now a philosophical counsellor.
However, i'm glad you got somewhere and enjoyed yourself.
Well, that's interesting to read.
But if I speak for myself, I think I'll never want to talk about it with a psychiatrist
My only in-depth experience with a psychiatrist wasn't inflation-related--it was with a cognitive behavioral therapist who helped me get over some anxiety I was having in certain situations. It sounds like your therapist might be using that type of technique. It was very effective for me. It sounds like it's working for you and that you're happier, so that is good to hear.
The very first person I spoke to about inflation online told me he went to a therapist about it, and was bothered that they tried to "cure" him. He was just looking for some answers, some understanding as to where it came from, to know himself better -- but he accepted that he was into inflatables and that was okay. The shrink felt differently and kept working toward a "solution" to his "problem" -- so yeah, your mileage may vary.
We don't have all the answers, but therapists don't either. You can only hope to find a common ground.
Can you ask her why we are attracted to this? I'm honestly curious to know this. I just like inflation but I don't know why >_>.
My thought process on the matter of inflation, at least of why it is appealing in my mind, is the fact you can take a cute girl who may have not been blessed with very good feminine attributes and solve the problem without the fuss of surgery and her being self conscience about it. Good self esteem boost for women who feel physically inadequate.
That and I love women who actually have breasts and hips, so if this will make them bigger, what the hell.
I wouldn't be able to talk to a psychiatrist about this. I feel weird about it already, and they would just make me feel worse. That, or I would drop dead from embarassment. :oops:

Well its diffrent for every person. I do pad and inflate but its not sexual for me

well you would be surprised. It feels wierd but after a few session you get confortable. But its always if you find the right person to speak with

I'm in exactly the same position. I did that too, it's been with me since I was at least 4.
As the old saying goes (and it was in a song too) "if it feels good, it's alright!"
It's interesting to speculate about why we're into this. I think the answers may vary and sometimes they may be simply explanatory myths. I can't speak for others, but i think of my own sexual preferences as being like Transformers. Most people put the pieces together to form their sexuality into "vanilla" stuff, which is the car in this analogy, but it can be put together completely differently and still work. My inflation fetishism is a "robot in disguise".

That's a very interesting way of putting it. We are after all biological beings with the unique ability to imagine anything we want. Therefore, situations that make no sense and could never in our physical reality work are a possibility if only in our minds; and in fact our bodies may not be able to tell the difference.
The below comments are not meant to apply to all or even a majority of us. I know that there are countless different types of inflation fetishists and this could not possibly rubber stamp all of us.
I've always thought that for many of us (and this is me looking at it from a purely biological standpoint) it is partially a case of imagination exceeding reality.
When a male seeks a female, it makes sense to be attracted to something that stretches to accommodate a child. It also makes sense to be attracted to a female with large breasts to nurture a child. Wide hips are also a must for carrying said child and birth itself.
When you look at the typical inflation subject, many times they are simply ridiculous exaggerations of the female form with larger stomachs, breasts, and hips. Even the extreme "ball" inflations exhibit an impressive birthing capacity. Just look at the movie Slither where the expanded female was a giant womb for thousands of offspring. Imagine if the antagonist had to seek out one female for each slug. Maybe our desire for exaggerated females is a biological drive to seek out the most efficient and effective method of reproduction.
There's a species of bird with a little red spot on its beak which chicks peck for food. If you give those chicks a model of their parent which is entirely red, they will peck it more than the real parent. Also, if you give a different bird a ridiculously enormous egg, it will stop incubating its own clutch and just sit on the giant one. I think we're like that too.

I didn't mention this previously, possibly because of the enormous obnoxious response potential... but I think a lot of what I said earlier can be applied to people (including me) with a fat fetish. After all, an uber-fat female appears ridiculously fertile to a body that doesn't understand gravity's effect on the circulation system or the exact mechanics of child-birth.
On a completely different tangent, I wonder where males that are attracted to bean-poles fit into all of this biological crap. Maybe they're all just faking it to look cool.
I think both of them are exaggerations of the female form. One of them emphasises the soft parts, the other the skeleton.
Which makes me wonder if there's a fetish out there which emphasises stiffness and rigidity, or stretching vertically.

I remember seeing a girl in high school and was strangely attracted to her, despite the fact that she reminded me of a preying mantis. She was very tall, skinny, and excessively lanky and jointed. Maybe you have something here.

Not so much for me. I have no desire to reproduce in real life, but I love seeing all my favorite parts inflated nonetheless.
I've always just thought it's the stuff I already like -- and that a lot of other people like too -- taken to an extreme. I'm not looking for a fertile host, I'm just looking for more of the good stuff.

I used to have something like it actually, as a child. It could have been that this faded out and the other dominated. I'm seriously curious to see if there's anything like that out there.
I suppose they're two extremes.

I think that the desire is more sub-conscience than anything. I have no real desire to reproduce but that doesn't mean that it isn't a biological drive beyond our conscience minds.
Also, I was saying that our "favorite parts" tend to be items that are biologically useful and that our minds outpaced physical limitations when it comes to what could possibly be. Why is a man attracted to large breasts, wide hips, or a large stomach? These items are useful in reproduction, whether we consciously want to reproduce or not.
that is a great success story! i think i may attempt to go see one too
make um big, and make um real.
