This is something that I've felt that no one else should ever know about. Ironically I have a couple friends who know about it but that's only because I know their into the same thing as me. I've never had a "serious" girlfriend to tell her something like that, but if I ever find the right person to be with....then maybe I'll face the music. Aside from those individuals, I've never told anyone else.
What if someone found out?
Well, the only people who had ever seen me indulging in my fantasies were my family members. Of course, they were more concerned with me waking up than what exactly I was doing, so I'm okay.
Why? Are you prone to dying in your sleep or something?
Wow Dexy, you are my new hero.
Well, the only people who had ever seen me indulging in my fantasies were my family members. Of course, they were more concerned with me waking up than what exactly I was doing, so I'm okay.
hehe, i've been somewhat caught in the same situation many times before. saying stuff out loud and pitching a tent while fast asleep and having my family members come in and poke me with a stick, wondering if i'm gonna wake up and freak out.
You know what kills me? As fearful as I am of sharing this with someone close, I just want to have a friend who knows about it and is totally cool with it. I had a friend online who was willing to talk with me about it, even play along with me if I expressed interest. Unfortunately, we fell out of touch years ago and I've had a time trying to re-establish that sort of friendship with anyone.
Well my boyfriend already knows, as do quite a few of my friends. But the only people who know are people I talk to online. If any of my local friends found out, I'd probably stand there for 10 minutes begging them not to tell anyone. I'm normally a very open guy, but I prefer to keep my fetishes secret from most people.
That's generally how I am. I'm usually really shy about anything like this, almost to the point of feeling downright akward over it. But it does help having at least a friend or two who know. I don't know. Maybe I'm just trying to build up the courage to mention it to someone who probably ought to know about this particular interest of mine at some point.
I don't think he'd be unnerved by it so much, but as vocal about it as I've been since joining the forums, I am a very shy, akward girl face to face, and it doesn't take much to get me nervous or a little scared of a situation, honestly.
Dexy: Do you think it was coincidence, or do you think he found you out and was trying to bait you?
I'm pretty sure it was totally a coincidence, especially because HE backed down so quickly. Knowing his personality, if he was "baiting" me, he would have pursued it and not let the subject die so easily.
The closest I ever came to being "caught" (such as it is) was one time my ex-girlfriend and I had a party where we served Blue Hawaiians. One her friends, A SUPER hot gal that I always had a secret crush on no less, said to me "If I drink one more of these, I'm going to turn blue." I somehow managed a sheepish, "and then..." and she totally knew where I was going and said "and blow up into a blueberry!" I almost fainted, but I didn't, but I did come in my pants (I was already hard as she had been flirting with me at the little home bar set up we had at the time) and I'm pretty damn sure she knew something was up.
Well, I've been married a few years now, and if you'd asked me back in 2000 I'd have said that I'd take this fetish with me to the grave, but these days it's getting harder. Don't get me wrong, I don't self-inflate, or pad or even produce much of my own material anymore, so it's not like there's any real 'evidence' other than what's on my HDD.
What's becoming clear to me is that although I do like having secrets (I'm quite private that way) I think I need to share with my wife what I really do like. Recently she's been trying to get me to watch porn with her, (pretty lame guy on gal stuff, nothing hardcore), but I find that sort of stuff rather dull. I think I need to let her understand me more than she does, rather than keeping her at arms length (with regards to my fetish).
I've never told anyone about my sexual fantasy before (although I do admit to liking pregnant women) so it's quite a big step for me, but I figure it's got to be done. It'll be between my wife and I, and I think I've just got to find a way to show her what I like. Maybe show her some movies or some of the better pictures that I like, and also my website.
I also think that when you're younger, your sexual turn-ons are far more private, and seem much more important than when you're older. I remember watching the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with my family when I was in my teens and having to leave the room because it made me uncomfortable.
Anyway, we'll see how it goes. My with is already partly BE'd thanks to her genetics, so hopefully she'll see the funny side...
I've dreamt some night ago my parents were about to find out. I paniked and cried and wanted to try everything to stop them from finding out.
I think I will be like that too in real life. Sort of.
Don't want anyone (except my boyfriend) to know my big big secret.
Wow Bob,
That's really interesting about leaving the room during Willy Wonka when you were a kid, because I did the EXACT same thing. I guess when you're young, you really don't understand what's going on, or why it makes you feel funny or whatever, but luckily I worked out all those feelings with my first girlfriend when I was around 15. She totally loved that there was something that she could easily do (we are talking about puffing out her cheeks and stuff like that) to turn me on, and as I said in an early post, as a result of how well it went, I've told dozens of girls since, never with bad results. The worst case scenerio is that they just think you are kidding and get a laugh out of it. Interestingly, it was my (now-ex) wife that "got it" the most and loved role playing and everything, which is probably a big reason why I married her in the first place!
That's my experience anyway, good luck with telling your wife, not that you need it. I have a feeling the results will be better than you could imagine.
I would be VERY embarrassed if someone found out. But at the same time I wish people did know because I hate hiding it. I just don't how certain people would react and if I could handle it.
I'd be so severely embarrassed. None of my family members or friends would understand - they're all incredibly straitlaced. Maybe some of my friends would learn to understand, but there'd be some real awkwardness for a long time. In the meantime, I have nightmares about people I know finding out.
I've never had the guts to tell someone i know about my fetish. And I admire those of you that have told your gf/bf's. Especially if it worked out.
Closest I ever came is meeting a person I met on one of the fetish sites. Got along great, however we were both in relationships at the time, and when our relationships ended, we were just too far apart (opposite ends of the country) to make it work.
Just had this dream that my bf was onto me and was trying to nudge out a confession. Kinda freaky.
Oh, the pain... the anxiety. It's a curse; I end up convincing myself of it on a daily basis nowâ€â€just aboutâ€â€and without any love life in which to entrust the truth, it'll always be a waiting hound.
I was interested to read and learn that I wasn't the only one leaving the room during the classic Wonka scene. I wasn't sure what was going on either... for the first while I had rationalized that I was scared of her exploding all over the place, but over time it became clear to me what was going through my head. That possibility and tension was getting to me not in a fearful way but in... that way. Christ, I can't even write it on a forum that EMBRACES it. Shows how awful it's getting.
If ever I find a true girlfriend to embrace, then I might finally be able to stamp out this demon and show it the light of day. At some point I was scared @^*%less that I'd end up losing everybody to this awkward disposition, but I just don't care anymore. I'll never go down the streets announcing it to heaven and hell, or even down a hallway. But eventually it'll let slip, and I'm ready for that.
Shoot, maybe it'll be substance for friendly laughter later.
Surprisingly a lot of my friends know. None of them care. Or at least they don't bring it up. The friends I am very close with. (Like we know each others as inflate123 put it "quirks")
And my female friend tolerates it, though she asks if I ever think of blowing her up. (real inflation) To which I reply, I would never ask her to do that. (Too dangerous IMO) and he doesn't care like me he thinks whatever floats your boat.
We're all here with you on this. I think there are a few members who may be married or are in long-term relationships that haven't shared this out of embarrassment or fear. Finding someone to be with is only a portion of the battle.
I don't know what it is about this forum that makes me want to speak so frequently, but I just feel better afterward. It's weird at first talking about this, but eventually it will help. Just keep posting vent to us. *hugs*
This makes me the oddball of the group, I guess. I did not walk out of the room as a little brat during the Classic Willy Wonka film, I hid behind either the couch or a large speaker, not comfortable with the sight because it is what turns me on, but I like the sounding. Some of my relatives know about it when I created an inflation comic at probably age 6 or 7. I eventually told me friends about it at age 19-20, so it may seem I have the backbone, but really, I'm just the oddball (and a bit twisted) in some of the groups.
Well I sat down and told my wife (well I was about to and our house mate got home early, and I had to leave her on tenterhooks for a while).
I told her not to laugh that I was being serious and explained that I had something to share with her and told her what I liked. I showed her my website and some of my inflation art collection, to see her reaction, but she kinda just drew a blank. I was expecting either disgust or delight, but she seems slap bang in the middle between the two. What I've stressed is that I don't want here to think that I'm expecting her to join in with this strange kink of mine, but it's something I wanted to share and be open about.
Anyway, my wife's come back to me with a few questions. Primarily, she doesn't understand the attraction and I'm having trouble conveying it to her. I guess for me it's the loss of control for the victim, especially the loss of control over their own body, as well as the humiliation aspect. But that's hard to get across (I've never had to explain it before).
I also think that she perceives that I only find inflated women attractive, or that the women I show her just look really fat. It must be hard for someone who's never heard of this before to understand it though, since here I'm effectively preaching to the choir.
Curse my mismatching chromosomes! I'm having trouble communicating all this, but I've suggested sitting down and writing an erotic story together, maybe that would show her how I feel (and I'd understand her turn on's a bit more too)?
Bob!
First of all, congrats for actually telling her, communication is the cornerstone of any good relationship, trust me on that. OK, having said that, I think her reaction was just fine. Expecting "disgust" is just a way of bracing yourself against the worse case scenerio, but as I have stated, the (many) women I've told are never disgusted, confused maybe, or indifferent, but never outright disgusted. Then to the other extreme, and I think "delight" is a bit too much to hope for. Like I said, only 3 in about 40 women shared my feelings about it (that is, were genuinely excited about the prospect of suddenly growing larger) so odds are "delight" is also not going to be the first reaction. So, that leaves you right in the middle, which is where she landed, and like I said I think that's fine. Remember, you came out of left field with it, so she needs a little time to get her head around it. I have had girls go out on their own and scour the internet to educate themselves about it in an effort to make me happy (or find a quick way to turn me on that NEVER fails) but it didn't happen overnight. I've even had girls write really hot inflatable stories for me so I know that they eventually came around, but again, never right away. Just give her a little time, and again, I applaud your courage.
well a few people know of my fetish, the first person i told was a friend of mine who helped me make a few of my videos. My sister found out because she saw some stuff on my pc, shes cool with it though and we dont really talk about it. people in college found out but i denied the whole thing.when i told my friend i remember being nervous as hell and was suprised by his reaction, he sort of just said "ok cool". my sister found it funny but said " everyones different" and well 2 girls from college chanted "mosherballoon" at me that was embarrassing. I even told my college friends girlfriend and well she thought it was cute and well some stuff happened between us, but i won't go into detail.Its weird but i get aroused by the thought of someone finding out, i dont want people to find out but just giving sly clues in a convosation or if someone says something related to it i get eroused. So my answer in short would be embarrased.:P
Right now, the only person who knows about this and doesn't really approve of it is some guy from another forum.
I rarely talk to him anymore anyway, so it's not that bad.
Bob, I think job one is telling her, hey, this is not a replacement. If she's already "genetically enhanced" as you euphemistically put it, you need to let her know, hey, what you've got is awesome for me. Make sure she understands that this is not a replacement for her, and that you don't blame her for finding it strange or confusing. I mean, how much sense does it make to you? :)
I got comfortable with the power play and inflation that you refer to. Like, if this is just how it manifests, the loss of control or the assertion of control, that's what you need to define as the key thing. And where, maybe, leather straps and traditional bondage gear doesn't interest you, this path does.
In my relationship, this fit in naturally with something that was already there that I had not identified -- she's dominant. But I didn't really "get" that until we started playing with this fetish and then it all fit into place. The inflation play, for us, is about control, so that might be easier to focus on. And even though I don't care about traditional BDSM stuff, I now realize that the power play is the cake; the fetish is the icing.
Keep us posted. I know you're only thinking out loud but we all do want to see this work out for the both of you, and we're happy to bounce ideas around with you.
My girlfriend knows, My sister knowns, and two of my friends know.
My girlfriend is into it, my sister doesn't really care either way, and my two friends make fun of me for it but not in a mean way.
My girlfriend found 'expansion mansion' in my history about three weeks ago and inquired. I told her the truth and as I expected she was fine with it, what wasn't expected was that she would start water stuffing and get off on it. win/win

That's great news. Honesty: The Best Policy!
ive only told one person, they had no clue what i was on about so i clammed up and said no more. i have a habbit of picking odd freinds, so im not going to yet. there are 1 or 2 i might tell, but prolly not untill im 16. yes, im 14, i dont care if any of you have a go at me for it, i would rather it had stayed dormant for another couple years too, but it got let out, so its either except it or let my brain burn out.

why does everyone else get good luck, i dare not think what would happen if my freinds found out.
first my cats die, then my house gets subsidence and we have to move for a while, then i get detention for not doing an assesment (ok, that one was avoidable), then i get an ingrown toenail, twice, then i kick a table and bruise my foot, will i ever get any luck? ok, i admit i got my first girlfreind, but appart from that, i have no scanner, no printer, my only computer is a notebook and my parents (well, my mother mostly) would probably loose it if i even said one word that relates to anything sexual.
maybe when i finnally move out i should move to america, they have it easy.

you could try putting it as you cant explain it, then ask her why she likes men and isnt homosexual, and if she cant explain it then say to her that its a bit like theat. if not, ask her why she likes a certain flavour, or kind of flavour, like sweet or bitter. keep trying untill you find something she likes but cant explain why she likes it then use that as anexample to explain to her that you dont know why
I have sorta told two friends. But as it turns out they're into (In my opinion) even weirder stuff. So everyones cool and we dont really talk about it. As far as girlfriends, Ive never had a girlfriend long enough to get around to telling her. Ive always wanted to have a girlfriend that was into it or would at least accept it, but as we all know those are few and far between, and I have yet to find a gf to really be with at all, let alone my accept my fetish. Anyway enough about my pathetic love life... Not to change the subject but has anyone given thought to maybe creating a dating-type site for our particular interest?
i like that idea, they should have fetish based dating sites, i say we put it to a vote.
ive only told one person, they had no clue what i was on about so i clammed up and said no more. i have a habbit of picking odd freinds, so im not going to yet. there are 1 or 2 i might tell, but prolly not untill im 16. yes, im 14, i dont care if any of you have a go at me for it, i would rather it had stayed dormant for another couple years too, but it got let out, so its either except it or let my brain burn out.
Heh, you're probably fine here. I found this place when I was maybe a year or two older than you are now. Really, I don't think it's so bad that you're here figuring things out, so long as you're not doing anything that'll be harmful to you (I.E. meeting some weirdos online or something along those lines). To be honest, there have been a lot of things discussed on this board that have regarded safety and such.
I've found that talking about this sort of stuff with someone really helped me be a little more... comfortable, I guess, with what I was into personally. I'm still a stickler for my privacy regarding my fetishes, but this has made me feel a lot better about being into the whole expansion thing. Really wish I'd known about this place sooner.
When I was your age, I was a little scared about it, as odd as that may sound. It helps to know that you're not the only one, you know?
I found talking with people online wonderful. Just finding out I was not alone, like Kadche said, was key. Just casting a line and catching a few comments on Usenet that were clearly on topic was miraculous to me. That's why my original site was a simple billboard -- I just wanted people who were looking for inflatable fetish stuff to know that there were others like them.
But I also tell everybody under 18 "we'll be here for you in a few years, but in the meantime you can't risk this community for everyone currently in it."
I think it would be highly embarrassing for me if word got out about my unusual inflation fetish. There'd be a lot of laughing and sniggering all round. God, I'd hate that!
People just aren't very tolerant of this kind of fetish.
Actually, come to think of it, there are people in the public domain who really despise the inflation fetish with a whole heart. I don't know why they think it's their duty or something to be so anti-inflation-fetish.
I wish we lived in a more tolerant world.
Actually, I've told about twenty people, and their reactions ranged from interested in hearing all about it to thinking that it was funny and I was just joking around... but certainly no one "despised" it and not even a "snigger."
Speaking from my own experience, people are actually very tolerant. Tell someone you trust, you'll see.
As fetishes go, inflation isn't the worse fetish to have. But there are people out there who just hate anything that's different.
Lots of people have found out now about my inflation/rubber fetish, mostly because of a leak on an online forum unrelated to this. Nobody mentions it when I'm around them, and a few asked me a few things, now it's not mentioned anymore.
I had a really weird and awkward moment just the other night... My Dad was cleaning out this comp we have, it's a spare one that I used once while mine was in the shop getting repaired etc.
Anyway I was walking right by him as he was doing this, and I looked at the screen and saw a folder that had a bunch of various inflation pics and drawings that I had collected on there. I think he was removing all the files to make more space, but he said in a surprisingly normal tone; "those are your pictures".
Of course I freaked out and panicked at the sight of this, and as a defense mechanism, I think I blurted out something like "Those are not mine" as I walked away into my room.
The whole night I felt so goddamn embarrassed and humiliated. The thought of confronting my family and telling them about this, made me feel so sick to my stomach. I tried watching TV and playing video games all night to take my mind off of it.
Earlier this afternoon I talked to my Dad about it, and he mentioned "those drawings, whatever they were", were put on that comp by me when I had used it. I was surprised that I forgotten they were there, as normally I'm very good at covering my tracks. The strange thing is, he didn't think of them as something that aroused me. I guess he thought they were just weird little "underground" comic-type stuff.
Anyway, I feel much better about it now. Subconsciously I think my parents have always been aware of my fetish, but I doubt they think negatively of it if they do. There is only one friend of mine that is aware of the stuff I like, only because he is a fellow inflation-fetishist as well. Aside from that, I've never told anyone else of my fetish. Perhaps if I ever end up with a really great girl, I'll spill it out to her.
This is a secret I take to the grave at the moment. My g/f doesn't know, nor has any ex known. 2 people know, but I trust both of them with my life and the one is actually into it. I wouldn't mind someone I could ne1 open with in a relationship about this, but I just can't seem to find that person.
I've told two people in my life. One of them was a former wrestling coach turned social studies teacher who taught my Social Problems class. The guy literally waddled when he walked because he was so short and fat. He taught us about child molesters and Jeffrey Dahmer by impersonating them with a pink feather boa, and one of his favorite pastimes was making the class wonder whether or not he really did have a foot fetish. I told him on an impulse after class on my last day of high school before graduation. I didn't tell him the nature of the fetish, just the fact that I had a fairly kinky fetish. I'm pretty sure he could identify with that, since he told me that "You know, it's best not to bottle it up. Sometimes it's best to just...you know...get the release." Best teacher ever.
The second person I told was my then-girlfriend in college. She came out to me as being bisexual, so I recklessly told myself that it would be terrible manners if I didn't trust her as much as she trusted me. It seemed only natural at the time, but I was shaking like a leaf after I told her. She was fairly apathetic towards the whole thing.
By the way, I am a proud member of the Left The Room As A Kid Club.
I've always been open about what I've been into personally. Like sexual leanings, fetishes, favourite drugs of the time, music I like, movies I adore, all that jazz. I was in a band for most of my life (up until the lead singer and my very best friend just called it quits---there's a grittier side of the story than that, but that's not for this forum) and I had never told my best friend (the singer) for the longest time. I had to literally come out to it when I ended up in the hospital because of my stupid actions. He seemed confused about my actions, but upon later discussions, I finally admitted what I had been doing. He called me an idiot and we were okay.
But as far as someone 'finding out' I try to take that out of the equation by telling people up front about it if I'm in a relationship with them. Of course, I've been with the same man for a very long time now, so sleeping around isn't the problem. Now the problem is finding new and exciting ways to inflate myself (and him). :D
I posses a notebook which contain my paper drawings that I'm desperately trying to hid in a safe place.
Same as for the images and the stories on my computer.
Currently no one in my family has discovered about that, and I think they don't even suspect; but a few time they were really close to discover everything.
If they found out, I'd probably die from the shame; but I'm not sure of how they would react, because I don't know whether they would understand the real meaning of that drawings (since all the dialogues of the images are in English) and they know nothing about the FA world.
I'm pretty sure this is a secret I'll take to my grave.
i could never tell anyone. i dont think that they would understand.

Really?? What time do you go to bed, and, uh, when do you take your showers? Do you use a curtain?
Just kidding :twisted:
If anyone i knew found out... actually i would be okay with that. Nobody is truly normal when it comes to fetishes. I know this because thats what my gf told me after she found out
I don't think any of my friends know about my BE fetish all of them know I love big tits I'm open about that but my love of various inflation no dice I don't want them to know.
Today my mother almost discovered me watching a picture of mine on the desktop. How scared!
Another time she had seen me watching a fat girl picture, but as she doesn't have a very good sight and the image was black and white I was saved.
With me, I have told every girl I ever went out with... well, not just dated, but if it got serious enough to end up in the bedroom, they knew. And like Korg, I gotta say none of them have freaked out, and a few - I guess 3 out of about 40 girls - a pretty low percentage really - were into it enough to play, or in the case of one gal "use it against me" as Inflate 123 has remarked that his wife does from time to time.
What's interesting is that I never told a male friend, and one (believe it or not) told me pretty recently that he was into BE and that there were "even websites about it." I didn't take the bait though, even when he said "I think it all starts when you are a kid and you see Willy Wonka." Maybe I was just shocked that we were having this conversation after being friends for about 15 years, but I totally played it cool, and we never talked about it since.
