Inflation Torture

Well, in the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods people were actually tortured by forcing them to drink many litres of water. Kinda scary to me.

I've seen a few stories in the news about people falling on the nozzle of compressed air tanks, which punctured the skin and subsequently blew them up.  Since this is torture, along those same lines...

Subject is tied down to a table in an "X" fashion.  A large cylinder of helium is wheeled in (helium is an inert gas and works well for this).  The hose ends in a large gauge needle or like attachment (imagine the metal tip used to inflate basketballs, volleyballs, etc); the subject's navel is disinfected and the needle is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue, into the fat of the abdominal wall.  As they watch, turn the valve slowly while their abdomenal cavity begins to fill up with helium and expand.  Once they have swollen nicely (not huge, but big), turn off the gas, wheel out the cylinder, and release them back to their cell.  The helium won't dissipate quickly so the next day, repeat the process, inflating them a little more, so that their belly is bigger, they widen, grow fuller and tighter.  Repeat slowly day after day (after a while, if their skin stretches far enough, they may have mobility problems and will need the assistance of their fellow prisoners; also, as an incentive to other prisoners, they will be forced to rub the expanding body down with oils or lotions so it becomes more supple and stretches easier). 

I know it sounds extreme...kairiinflator did say this was inflation torture, and what better way than to make it last? 

_{o-oh my.... o/////o
that sounds... wonderful. i would love that. squirming helplessly in pleasure/pain, til the very end. ;)<3} 

If you get exactly the right composition of plasma analogue and introduce it subcutaneously, it's a lot more survivable and it's even possible you could survive popping with that method.  It's just occurred to me too, that because the body must then expend more energy moving around and keeping a larger volume at body temperature, it might even ultimately lead to weight loss.

There would still be problems, such as the sheer weight and pressure of the fluid crushing the organs and shifting blood, and the dissolution of blood gases, but if it happened quickly enough it would, i think, be OK.

I'm not considering doing this in real life! I mean, i do inflate in real life, but tentatively, more so than most i think.

Liquids are almost uncompressible, so the volume you have taken into your body is the same as the increase in the volume of your body, past a certain point where the potential space inside your body becomes occupied. Gases, on the other hand, are easily compressed, with the result that the volume of your body increases by less than the volume you've taken in. That also means that gases store more potential energy, meaning they're more sort of "springy", making it a very different experience. It also means you can, say, blow up a balloon to well over the capacity of your internal organs and proceed to inflate yourself with the whole lot, then sort of look back fondly on the huge balloonful of air, all of which is now inside you bloating you up.

Easy method.
1: tie up victim
2: introduce hose
3: set hose to slowly fill victim
4: watch the fun while grinning evilly >XD

You'd need to guarantee enough oxygen if you inflated someone slowly with liquid, or they'd just drown. Apart from separating oxygen supply to the lungs from liquid supply elsewhere, the swelling organs would crowd out the lungs, so the fluid would need to enter slowly at the start before speeding up suddenly when the pressure gets too much to breathe. Otherwise it would just kill them before they got big.

Anyone else got ideas? I'll share mine in a bit, once I have them typed out. This is my kind fun.

Along the same lines...three cheerleaders locked in a room full of fattening food and three scales wired to an electronic lock. When the combined weight of the three girls equals X (some high number) the door will unlock letting them go free. While it is possible each girl will gain an equal measure of weight, it's more likely that two will gang up on the third and stuff her to near bursting. Just a thought. 

Bumpin' for more ideas. This thread can't die on me.

I do love seeing those inflatable girls popping... How's about inflating a bunch of them, locking them up in a room, and telling them, that who ever last doll inflated, wins. Give them a few pumps, pins and the like and just let them duke it out, stealing each others air, pinning and popping each other like their life depended on it. (which it did...) I would be the spectator watching the whole thing, and once there was but one girl left, I would have my way with her, drill a pin into her arse and leave her in a pile with the rest of the broken inflatables.
