I'm just wondering how many of you guys let your friends and family know about your inflation fetish or do you prefer to keep it to yourself as a secret, Me i keep mine secret.
Is your inflation fetish known by those you love or a secret?
I've told a couple of friends in the past but now it's exclusively for my SO.
Beyond the fetish she's also aware of my work I've done in the past.
But yeah it's a sexual fetish so it's best to just keep it with sexual partners. I've learned that ours is severely tame and your sexual partners though amused will be relieved you're not hoping they kick you in the balls, piss on you or something else.
And the ones who think it's too weird to the point of shunning you for it are probably sexual pruds who suck in bed and are bad at social aceptance anyway so good fuck them. Proverbially.
So yes keeping it to yourself is okay but after awhile you're going to need some release. This fetish is way too widespread to let it stay in the shadows. We are in that perfect medium where we are not so obscure that we can't get material yet not too widespread that we get made fun of on a constant basis by the general public like furries.
Edit: And for the love of god don't tell your family. Why? Just no please.
I don't understand why anyone would even consider telling their family...
My parents ended up needing to see my DeviantArt page to make sure I knew what I was doing with commissions.
Literally nobody knows and I don't know why someone would tell anyone about their fetish in the first place.
For the most part, I agree with you Margeret. The only person I'd ever tell any of my fetishes or kinks to would be that other person I intend to share my bed with. And only then, after a long time of getting familiar and comfortable with each other.
I think I've told six people: My husband at the time (he got me into this stoopid fetish, so that was sort of a given). I've told two of my oldest friends (not sleeping with either of them), and I think three guys I've dated. For the most part, it's gone well. The ones that didn't, eh, fuck 'em.
That being said, I do keep it a secret from virtually everyone until I have a damn good reason or need to share it. Being an inflatible superheroine...if that doesnt scream "secret identity" I dont know what does.
I like the secret identity take on it, I really do.
Haha that make two secret superheroes with powers that keep our identities a secret. I tell a very few people about it, but not many people know still.
I've told someone in person only once and that didn't go well, though I believe there were other underlying trust reasons afoot. Since then I've kept things to myself. I'm pretty sure I've drawn a few suspicions but nothing ever came of them. I would share this again, but only with a significant other I would trust completely.
I've never told anyone I know about my fetish so no. It's something I know is more of a fantasy, and I don't think it's something to bring up in a conversation.
My wife knows. It's only proper.
My wife only knows that I like watching her swimsuit inflate when we are in a hot tub, but knows nothing more of the extent of my fetish, and knows nothing of the stories I have written.
Out of curiosity, what's your reason/rationale for not telling her?
I never told anyone in my life about this yet and if a find a girl that's the right type for me then I would tell her and only her.
Only my girlfriend knows really. My closest friends I told years ago, but they had already figured it out by then, so it wasn't to shocking. Other then that, no one.
No one knows including the people I've been romantic with. It doesn't seem like the kind of fetish that translates well into the real world
I don't know who you are talking about.
I told a girlfriend once (I was 14 and stupid) and my fiancee knows, and she knows about my DA and such too. She doesn't share the fetish, but she indulges me from time to time.
I wouldn't tell anyone, why would you talk about your fetish to your family?
Its known by my gf, a few friends by shear force of truth or dare, and family by accident.
Turns out my brother and I share a fetish.
And my mother doesn't care, in fact she jokes about it when we talk on long car rides about deep shit to do with personal lives.
The only friends of mine who know about my kink are the ones I made right here in the community (some of whom I'm pretty tight with).
As far as my friends and family in meatspace are concerned, none of them know about my kink, and I intend to keep it that way if at all possible. None of them really have the maturity or open-mindedness when it comes to sexual stuff that you need to take information like that in stride. At best, they'd be creeped out; at worst, they'd never speak to me again, or demand that I seek counselling to 'cure' me of my 'unhealthy fantasies'.
Even if that weren't the case, I've always believed that there are some things about you that your friends and family don't need to know - especially when it comes to your sex life or what kind of porn you look at. Telling your spouse or significant other is one thing, since you have a shared sex-life. Telling your family and friends is another matter entirely. If they find out by accident, you can explain it to them then (it never hurts to have a simple, concise explanation handy), but otherwise it isn't something they "Need to Know".
A few of my irl friends know, but they're pretty chill with it. Hell, one of them lets me doodle her inflated every so often since we both have a mutual respect for each other's kinks and like to have fun with it.
i have told maybe 3 people. each of them now ex's because of it.
I recently told my partner. They were a bit confused but after some explaining, they supported me. They still don't understand the appeal but at least I can talk about it with them openly.
"Hey mum and dad, can I talk to you? I know this has nothing to do with anything and will not effect your or my life in the slightest exept for making my life more akward, but I have this fetish, whenever people shove air hoses up their butts I get horny"
My best friend knows, he told me one day be was both gay and a furry. So in a failed attempt to make it less awkward I told him I like chicks blown up like balloons. Didn't make it worse, but now he's just veeeery open about EVERYTHING
Nobody knows.
And I intend to keep it that way.
This guy knows what's up.

Hi all I've only ever told 2 ppl and one found out. 1 was someone i use to see and she was happy to give it a go and she liked it sadly were no longer together, the other was my best friend we use to tell each other everything we was that open with each other she asked me loads of questions but I think she understood it and the one who found it out was my brother he found it out when he went on the PC and type something in the search bar and the most resent things came up and a lot was body inflation he keep it to himself never told me until a couple of yrs ago.
The whole family talks about it over Christmas dinner every year.
Sorry if this is an awkward question, but how on Earth did it come to that and what the hell is that like?
I brought it up to my parents Christmas 2006 by accident. It's pretty cool. I think maybe one year someone is going to get me an inflatable suit, but for now I have to keep waiting.
Nope. Maybe I'll tell my future gf...that I'll never have.
My super Christian friend knows and she is ok with it. She even made up a character that has breast and butt expansion. My mother saw that character and honestly saw how detailed my artwork is getting
The only person in real live who knows it is my ex-girlfriend... i think i only will tell it to a person i have a romantic/sexual reation with. I dont think its any use to tell family or friends about it
And boom goes the inflatee
