Well, seeing as though, for me, it's a fetish, my brain is hardwired to crave many things inflation related. Since more specifically, I am more into belly inflation than others, mostly inflation based around that area/act is what activates my brain.
How does it affect me? Well, it's basically like comparing it to someone who finds one action arousing, either sexually or not. It's simple brain chemistry, that I'll want it, however, I am also in control of my fetish, so seeing it in media or practicing it myself, while enjoyable in most cases, does not control or directly affect my life.
I do wish the fetish was more known in society so it could be better accepted, but this is who I am, and I am comfortable with that. For those whom don't know I tried getting away from it for about three years (age 16-19), but it just stays completely wired.
TL;DR (shame on you): It affects me, but it doesn't control or "weaken" me.
Those who would vote for "meh" or "kill me now" are probably not going to be visiting this site.
Just a little more. You can take it...I hope...
