Blown Away: Inflation Fetish

I’ve been researching kinks and fetishes for over three years now. I’ve covered some of them (in my western-culture-based humble opinion) strangest kinks which I must admit; I’m fascinated by.

But a few others have blown my mind (pun intended).

I’m not suggesting anything negative when I say something is strange or weird. They literally and mathematically are because these kinks are statistically abnormal. This only means that these kinks don’t arouse most people. Not that there’s anything wrong with the people who are.

I always say this because it’s my truth, and I think people would be happier if it were theirs, too:  I like being weird, and I would be deeply offended if I were considered ordinary. Eew.

As a psychologist, I often go down rabbit holes when reading about fetishes. For example, I wonder how someone becomes aware that being dominated financially gets them hard. Sometimes it’s even more interesting to me, like being a human pup or being into furries.

I suppose it’s a silly question since I realized I was into girls because “I kissed one, and I liked it.” I liked it more than I expected.

A few years ago, I met a guy that told me he had an inflation fetish. *Ariana’s mind gets blown* INFLATION FETISH?! What’s that!?

So, that’s precisely what it is… the practice of inflating or pretending to inflate a body for sexual gratification.

A few fetishes could be technically considered inflation fetishes, but I’m not talking about fat fetish, alvinophilia, scrotal infusion, or vaginal air pumping today. These can cause serious medical issues, so if any of these tickle your pickle, make sure you know what you’re doing and do everything you can to avoid having to tell a healthcare professional that you injected air into your scrotal sac.

He explained how it works:

1. You choose what you’re using to inflate. The most common choices are air, water, or the Willy Wonka candy that turns a girl into a blueberry. Some sites like Urban Dictionary say this fetish started with the Willy Wonka movie. While I’m sure, many people (or just a few) saw that girl inflating and thought, “fuck! I love how big and round she looks!” I can’t corroborate that fact.FUN FACT: Just in case you don’t remember, the girl from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory/ Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is called Violet Beauregarde, and she swallowed up into a massive blueberry after eating an experimental piece of chewing gum. The gum was supposed to consist of a three-course meal: tomato soup, roast beef with a baked potato, and blueberry pie with ice cream.
2. Choose how you’re getting the air, water, or candy inside you. A hose would be a good choice.
3. What hole is the hose/pump going into? I would choose either my vagina, asshole, or mouth (in that order), but I’m sure someone more creative might have other suggestions. I can see myself enjoying fantasizing about the water flow inside my vagina… just maybe, though!If you choose to eat the candy to inflate, it’s a whole different storyline, and it’s called Berrygirl (link https://fleshbot.com/272350/fun-with-body-inflation-the-adventures-of-berrygirl/). You put it in your mouth, eat it, and inflate until you look like a giant blueberry. Being blue is part of the fantasy, so, without a doubt, I choose to be blue and gigantic. Why not, right?
4. Create the storyline. He explained that the order in which your body parts inflate and the verbs you use to describe the inflation are significant and unique to the fetishist. But just as important is size.

When it comes to inflation fetish, size does matter!

I know that many people bring this to life by inflating balloons under their clothes. That’s actually how this guy realized he was into this kink. When I asked, he said that when he was a teenager, he went to a birthday party, and one of the girls there jokingly shoved two balloons under her shirt to make it seem like he had huge tits…as girls do. At that moment, his imagination went wild, and he started fantasizing about how big her pussy lips would be, how his dick would disappear inside her, how her butt, belly, and feet would also pop and how sensitive her skin would be when she’s inflated.

“The first hints of the fetish are usually revealed as a child watching something innocent, like the blueberry scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (there's a whole blueberry girl sub fetish, by the way). I was no different. I think for me it was the Gas-X commercials, with people inflating in their seats with indigestion after a big meal. This along with a dream I had as a child of eating a balloon, and inflating and rising to the ceiling. I remember loving how I thought it felt, and some of my first "sexual" fantasies involved me expanding bigger and bigger. I soon after developed more "normal" sexual tastes, though the inflation fantasies definitely came first. The idea of a belly (breasts, butt, body) slowly expanding, and the feeling of having less room in your clothes just excites me. I also enjoy I suppose the fantasy of a helpless girl who's been inflated too big to put on clothes, or fit through a door, etc. Also, I just like the feel of a nice round belly (mine or someone else's).” -therealballoonboy

The idea of my partner inflating doesn’t particularly excite me (or turn me off). Still, if I had to let my imagination go wild and inflate, I would eat the gum and enjoy seeing my skin turn blue as my tits blow up (finally!), my belly, thighs and all the way down to my toes. I can see myself floating into outer space and eventually being even bigger than planet Earth. No biggie.
