Reasons Why You like inflation/etc

I got into this thanks to a few cartoons that I watched that had them present.

The 'biggest' thing I like about body inflation is the roundness. The roundness of the inflated part whether it's the ass or the entire body is just want makes everything so cute and fun to me.

Same; started with the original Wonka, first time I thought of it in the context of a person. Wind forward a few years to adolescence and I remember being home alone one day and thinking "I wonder if I can fit a whole beanbag under here?" and a few minutes after, with much struggling I was lying on top of it stuffed under my pyjamas, and I remember feeling slightly turned on. Then I forgot about it for 10 years until one night I started remembering how I felt, randomly googled body inflation and found this place and expansion mansion (this was so long ago you didn't need an account :D) and that reinvigorated my interest.

For me, I think it's just the idea of the human body doing something it's not meant to do and the exaggerated shape. Got to admit, I do quite like the aspect of being suspended off the ground (not necessarily floating, just lying on top of it and being pushed further up)

Like a lot of people around on this forum the Old school scene in the wonka movie opened my eyes as a kid. I watched the dutch dub, and im my memory its a little more dramatic as the english/american dub. Also she was one of the first brunette girls (i grown up around blondes) i was exposed to, and as an adult i prefer women with dark hair.

I could not get the idea of a women inflating (and exploding) out of my head. An as I get older, it became my kink. 

Also I found out this year i might be on the asexual spectrum (demisexual i think). Regular sex has never been that intresting to me. But watching a fine lady inflate, oh my. I could blow up and pop them all day long if it was possible.

The thing about inflation is that i find a round a female shape. So a woman gets more femine if she gets rounder. Also sge pushes her limits, meby till she pops. So a inflated woman looks always more risky as a regular woman. 

When I was little I used to like to pretend I was a snake, and "gobble up" my stuffies, and put them in my tights and pull my top over them. Or sometimes I would pretend to be a mommy kangaroo and my tights were my pouch for my baby.   As I got older, there was some apealing about seeing how big I could get without ripping the clothes. Then when I could buy my own clothes to designate for stuffing, it was (and still is) fun to get as big as possible and try to move around.  Sometimes I stuff a giant pair of tights with the dirty laundry (stuffed in layers as to the order they go into the machine - colors, delicates, ect...) and go about the resst of my housework (dishes, mop the floor ect...)  with the waiting loads of laundry stuffed in my tights, which can hold as much as 4 loads.

I've never been sure why I like inflation, but I can say something about what I like about it.  I'm going to tie into Mark of the Slayer:  It's goofy.  It doesnt address the erotic appeal for me (which is also clearly persent), but it does allow me to take a step back when I feel too burdened by whatever may be going on in my life.  I discovered it is literally impossible to take things too seriously or be in a bad mood when one is blown up like a balloon.  It provides a sense of self ridicule to keep me from taking myself too seriously.

I probably have the most unusual of introductions to this community.

Pregnancy Timelapses.

Once, on YouTube, I stumbled across my first pregnancy time lapse. I became fascinated with the soon-to-be mother's stomach growing with each picture. I don't know how it grew from that, but I believe I found rapid pregnancy expansions next. From there, I just started searching up "belly expansion," and eventually came to the Inflation community. I immediately fell in love with the concept, and watching [mostly women] inflate their stomachs became somewhat of a turn on.

Eventually I just to try it myself. One of the first things I had come across when I found this community was a basic means of inflation, if you could even call it that: Water Bloating. This being the "cheapest" and safest method at my disposal, I tried it. I LOVED it. What I grew to love from it was the feeling of fullness, and the beautifully round belly that came as a result. Having to RID myself of the water was never that pleasant, but I found a better means.

Remember the quotation marks around "cheapest"? Well, turns out chugging water WASN'T the cheapest. Swallowing air was. When I had a sudden stroke of genius and attempted this, I was SO happy when it worked! Now I didn't have to waste time ridding myself of water. After doing my fill, simply walking around for a bit was enough to deflate me, and it was a lot less unpleasant.

And that's my story! (Sorry it's a bit long.)

I don't really know what got me into inflation, I'm presuming it was also Willy Wonka. I remember stuffing pillows up my pjs and drawing girls blowing up on paper and MS paint when I was younger, before mostly resorting to watching the blueberry scene on repeat the moment I got my own computer in my room. I didn't make the affliation of it being a sexual/ fetish thing until after I was 18. 

What I like about inflation depends on the type;

Breast inflation is, pure and simple, wish fullfillment for me. (Premium Membership holder to the Itty-Bitty-Titty-Commitee here...)

Belly inflation is my go-to because I like the look of a full belly, I adore the ways characters, items and the environment around the belly can react/interact with it e.g. Belly rubs, buttons popping, getting stuck etc and I just love when a full tummy can make people happier, like with excited mums-to-be or well-fed boyfriends, all cute and sleepy.

Muscle Inflation is one of my favourites cause I'm a sucker for superpowers and a big, strong man who fills out his clothes... Also Amazons are hot and I want to be one. Same kind of feelings for Giant(ess) growth, (If it counts) I just love the element of growing more powerful yet being helpless to stop it. 

So in layman's terms, Shit's pretty, I wanna touch it and it makes me fell shit. 

I like "Shit's pretty,I wanna touch it" :)

Funnily enough, I had known i had a thing for rubber and latex, balloons and oversized curves way before I even considered connecting them together into realising Body Inflation was a thing. When I was searching through random images I stumbled upon some of BigHorse's stuff and immediately knew it was for me. 

Big boobs. Big thighs. Big butts. Wide hips. Extreme hourglass figures. Creaking leather. Creaking latex (of course the latter two don't require inflation at all and are just fine by themselves but the overlaps are obvious).

Violet's expansion in Willy Wonka started it for me when I was extremely young. For some odd reason I wanted to be in her shoes and blow up into a blueberry. When I hit puberty, anything related to expansion turned me on. For me, there are many reasons why I like inflation. The helplessness, the emotional reactions, and the overall lack of control is by far my favorite.

Willy Wonka didn't really do it for me, but the scene with the inflated football player in the movie Son of Flubber was definitely stimulating to me as a kid. Cartoon characters that could easily inflate themselves added to my feeling things that I didn't fully appreciate as sexual at the time, but obviously were. And finally I used to bike by an airfield as a kid where there happened to be a weather station, and in the late afternoons they would launch weather balloons with some payload of weather monitor equipment on it. The idea of being able to inflate with helium and float off like that invoked some strong feelings in me then, and now.

I think it was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that developed my initial in inflation. Although I don't find the actress who played Marge attractive, I remember thinking about that scene a lot as a kid and having uncomfortable 'I... kinda want that to happen to me' thoughts in my head. A touch ironic given that I'm not into self-inflation even as a fantasy these days.

The first aspect that appeals to me is the roundness- I've always been attracted to fat women, and this fetish just expands on that (no pun intended). In fact, it was researching fat fetishism that made me learn about the body inflation community.

The second aspect that I like is the physical and emotional vulnerability. Having someone's body change in such a way that it renders them completely immobile and helpless while also exposing their insecurities and fears inspires some real, raw emotions. Given that I'm pretty meek in real life, I think there's also some sort of empowerment I feel as a reader/viewer.

Started with cartoons, Tom & Jerry, Merry Melodies, et all.  Then I got all puberty and love inflating breasts on top of a 'blue berry' shape [which was used long before Willie Wonka].   The Penguin Parade as a pretty darn good 'blue berry' inflation using a puffer fish swallowed whole from 1938
