For me it would be like a pov where it's happening to me and I'm watching that other person inflating me
When reading inflation content/porn, do you prefer first or third person narration?

I frankly don't care the perspective, so long as they stick to it or label it properly. I'm not too huge on having exact grammar, but jarringly bad grammar can knock me out of the story I'm reading.

Third person is usually better in my eyes because perspective often affects narration style, and some of the best-told stories need omniscient, detailed, tuned-to-every-sensation kinds of writing to build the rawest sensuality. You can still kind of "mount the GoPro" on a single character's head to immerse the reader in all the feelings only one person would experience throughout the story, filter their interpretations through their personality lens (snarky, demure, etc.), and basically make it a first person minus the I pronouns (which is good storytelling advice anyway; nothing pulls me out than having the cameraperson switch constantly, especially experiencing the same exact things that just happened to a different character except maybe now I can read their mind too).
All this being said, first person has its place in most unique or immersive situations where part of the storytelling is what the narrator doesn't know about what's going to happen next. The most important change to a story I ever did was going back and revising almost the entirety of Blind Date because I decided the first sentence should be "I can't see." rather than "Kelsey couldn't see." Even if I was going to practice the GoPro-mounting exercise on this one, I think the history, personality lens, experience to the inflation as a whole felt more authentic with I -- though I think it also leaves readers with sight wanting more to feel in-tune with the whole experience.
Great topic.

I enjoy 2nd-person most when it's done well, since I like being the inflatee it can be most immersive that way. I think it's also the most difficult perspective to write well, though, and rare to find a good one that also aligns with other preferences. For example, some people have taken to using ambiguous gender for the reader to appeal to wider audiences, but I'd really rather have a specifically femme persona.
BerryJuicer's right, any can work but often it's not labeled or consistent.

Proper editing like line and paragraph spacing are critical--Wall o'Text makes me go somewhere else.

It depends.
In general, first person doesn't work out as well as some authors think. And, in my opinion only, too many authors go with first person because it seems easy (just describe something as you imagine it, in-person) but in the end it just falls flat.
Really, there's just no substitute for a well-described tale regardless of the author's "voice". Get the story worked out first, then decide what style of narration will work best with it -- That would be my advice, such as it is.
And above all, proofread. Constant spelling and obvious grammatical errors hurt the flow for the reader. That's important no matter what.
It seems to be a talking point on some parts of TikTok and Reddit that some people can't tolerate books written in certain perspectives.
