Balloon fetishism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Balloon fetishism is a fetish in which a person has an unusual fascination of, or pertaining to, balloons, which provides sexual arousal or stimulation. Many persons with this fetish casually refer to themselves as looners. The fetish itself varies greatly from person to person, some people enjoy only the act of inflation itself or viewing members of their desired sex inflating balloons, while others enjoy the act of popping by various means, while yet others simply find stimulation in the color, clarity, smell, tactile sense, sound, and movement of the balloon itself. There are several known female balloon fetishists, however the vast majority is made up of men.

Background

Many theories try explain to explain balloon fetish, but without consensus, because the fetish is set in the psyche at different points of experience and development for each individual. However, there are strands common to all. Many agree this fetish born at childhood with full development at teenage and adult age. The theories bellow are based on community members reports and experiences.

The Fear Factor
People with a balloon fetish often report strong fear of balloons in infancy mixed with the contact with them at moments of strong happy memories at children's parties. The pseudo-overcoming of the fear together with the happy party association then is changed into a sexual fetish. This is also the most-accepted theory and in agreement with Sigmund Freud Psychoanalysis.

The Early Sexual Feeling
Members report that had early sexual identification with balloons in contact with them, often associated with the feeling of skin. In fact, children can mature sexual symbols and try masturbation to excite their genitals using balloons, two providing a potently symbolic cleavage. This is reported by both parents and fetish members.

The Partner Substitute
Members report using big balloons to substitute a sexual partner. Not necessarily the lack of them, they like and excite hugging and touching the balloons, as well as rubbing balloons against his/her genitals. Is very common reports of emotions feelings by balloons in a case of Anthropomorphism.

The Practice
The life cycle of a balloon has four phases: inflation (blowing it up by some means), admiration (looking at it), interaction (touching, moving, watching), and destruction (deflation, popping, releasing). Any or all of these phases can constitute the primary interest of the balloon fetishist, while the remainder are simply complimentary. The practices of the fetishist falls into two distinct camps, poppers and non-poppers, and their foci are seen as drastically different.

The popper is primarily excited by the bursting of a balloon, both by the anticipation and the sensory experience of the explosion itself. The method by which the balloon is popped, however, can vary dramatically. Some persons enjoy blow-to-pop, in which the balloon is continually inflated until it ultimately bursts, and is commonly most fully enjoyed when executed by a partner or member of the sex to which the popper is attracted. Some persons enjoy viewing various forms of erotic popping by means of objects such as cigarettes and pins, in addition to more physically involved and sexually stimulating methods such as sitting, hugging, squeezing, stomping, clawing, etc. In all these cases the popper's primary interest is in building anticipation and the sexual tension of bursting at any time.

The non-popper, on the other hand, dislikes (often vehemently) destroying the balloon but instead chooses to admire and interact with it. This type of looneris far more varied and individualistic in their preferred interaction. Practices can range from simply blowing up and holding balloons for pleasure, to watching other persons interact with balloons, to placing the balloon underneath the genitals and bouncing on it, known as boinking or riding. A popular sub-group of non-poppers includes persons who enjoy stuffing, an act in which baggy clothing is worn and balloons are blown up inside the clothing as a way to maximize the tactile sensation of contact with the object in addition to the sense of being overcome by the object.

In the German scene a semipopper is known, too. It is an unsharb category of looners that change between non-popper and popper by mood, that like to see how balloons become popped, mostly by women, but they don't like to pop balloons by themselves. Or people that like to inflate balloons to the maximum without wanting to pop them.

The only clear area of similarity in the practices of these groups is the general preference to involve a sexual partner into their preferred activity, either as an observer or as an active participant. Often, with a partner, a sexual event that involves balloons becomes secondary to the act of sex itself and simply foreplay.

Derivations
Balloon fetishism is related to a great variety of other fetishes, including Breast fetishism (due to the shape and feel that balloons and breasts share), Shoe fetishism (generally by persons who enjoy seeing balloons stomped on), Breast expansion fetish and Inflation fetishism (due to inflation, growth etc.), Macrophilia (for people who prefer huge balloons), Smoking fetishism (generally by people who enjoy seeing balloons popped by cigarettes), and many more. Each looner is unique and therefore may have many other related fetishes or none at all. The only commonality among the vocal community of balloon fetishes in this regard is that balloon fetishism is the focal point and all other fetishes simply enhance their primary interest.

Fetishes involving inflated objects are closely related to balloon fetishism, particularly that of inflatable animals (animal shaped PVC inflatables) and pool toys, such as beach balls, swim rings and pool-rafts or lilos, which can often provide an associations with female anatomy. This is explored further in Inflatable fetishism. To a lesser degree, some balloon fetishists are excited by watching women blowing bubbles with bubble gum.

Scene
Balloon fetishism seemingly exploded in popularity with the proliferation of the internet, not because fetishists discovered the interest, but because they found that they weren't alone. In particular the group Balloon Buddies, a pen-pal club for balloon fetishists started in 1976, came online in 1994, bringing hundreds of people together in an open forum. Many balloon fetishists feel very uncomfortable and un-masculine because of their preoccupation with balloons, making online forums such as Balloon Buddies a place for people to come to terms with and eventually accept their interest. Ledgendary Balloon Buddies founder, Buster Bill, turned management of the list over to a commercial site owner in 1993 and its popularity and membership has declined.

In the late 90's several US based websites appeared catering specifically to balloon fetishists, most of which exist to this day. Because the sites cater to sexual fetishism these sites are considered pornographic in nature, however several sites offer no nude content at all, while others offer only minimal amounts of nudity, typically clearly deliniated on the given site. Sites typically are populated with images, videos and stories of women

In addition to websites and communities, several stores dedicated to serving the needs of balloon fetishists appeared in the late 90's. Balloon fetishists tend to be very specific about exactly which shapes, colors, and brands of balloons they enjoy. Many are so specific in their preferences that only specific qualities of a balloon are capable of exciting them. Brands such as Qualatex are the most commonly preferred because of their strength and quality. Not only are looners specific about what they buy, but larger sized balloons (16", 24", 36", and beyond) are popular but very hard to find in a conventional party shop. Additionally, these onlines stores typically guarantee anonymity; for many looners, going into a party shop is like going into an adult store and can be nerve racking.

Treatment
For people who desire treatment for the balloon fetish, is suggested Neuro Linguistic Programming. In fact, due to the very lack of information is observed by the Psychotherapy professionals the fetish is thought to be very obscure. Because of the perceived obscure nature of the fetish, fetishists keeping it secret, it is very common for Psychologists never to have heard about it.

TENTATIVE TILTAK I JULEN

Som mange kjenner til er det mange tiltak som må gjøres for å generere et perfekt julepotensial. Julen handler ikke bare om å drikke mest rødbrus, som mange tror. Derfor synes jeg at det er riktig å minne om denne siden:
http://www.stud.fim.ntnu.no/~sundsoy/kvantenytt/innenriks/alternativt.htm


Jeg ønsker også å sende en spesiell julehilsen til Prof. Bentsen (se fig.1.0) som våger å feire julen på en utradisjonell måte på Berg. Ryktene sier at han må være ferdig med diplomen til nyttår og derfor må la ribba vente på seg!

Juleblogg

Det lakker og lir mot jul. Jeg synes det ville vært fint å vite hvordan alle skal tilbringe høytiden, og når de er tilbake på jobb. Jeg vil også oppfordre alle til å blogge aktivt i julen om store og små ting som skjer, særlig de som skal reise "langt".

Ny sighting i Øvre Allè!

Jeg går stadig gjennom Øvre Allè, det faller seg naturlig med tanke på hvor jeg holder hus, og hvor jeg utfører mitt daglige arbeid. Jeg synes det er en fin gate, med mange store hus.

Som tidligere nevnt , så jeg selveste Iver her på mandag. I dag tidlig gjorde jeg på ny en observasjon jeg finner det nødvendig å dele med mine bloggvenner. Jeg så Jølle!

Jeg gikk bak to personer, den ene av dem minnet meg fryktelig om Jølle bakfra, han var kledd i sort bukse og jakke, og hadde halvlangt hår ispedd grått. På hans høyre arm gikk en kvinne med lyst hår. Under armen bar denne en sylinderformet gjenstand pakket i gråpapir. Da jeg tok dem igjen og passerte dem så jeg tydelig at det var stasjonsmesteren selv, og han uttalte til sitt kvinnebekjentskap: "Dette var engang min skolevei."

Iver stiller forberedt

I går ettermiddag, noen minutter før klokken fem, så jeg Iver Brevik i øvre Allè på Singsaker. I sin venstre hånd bar han en gammeldags lærveske, den så ut til å være tungt lastet, kanskje den var full av tykke bøker. Under hans høyre arm bar han en paraply, en av disse moderne modellene som knapt måler lengre enn en fot når de er klappet sammen. På hodet satt en hatt.

Ny viten om kjærlighetsforhold

For å nysgjerrigjøre deres interesse for lineære systemer, skal vi nå diskutere en enkel modell for dynamikken bak kjærlighetforhold (Strogatz 1988). Den følgende historien forklarer ideen:

Romeo er forelsket i juliet, men i vår versjon av historien er Juliet en skiftende elsker. Jo mer Romeo elsker henne, jo mer vil Juliet løpe og gjemme seg. Men når Romeo mister motet og backer ut, jo mer finner Juliet han attraktiv. Romeo på sin side, har en tendens til å svare henne: han blir varm når hun elsker han, og kald når hun hater ham.

La:
R(t) = Romeos elsk/hat for Juliet ved tid t.
J(t) = Juliets elsk/hat for Romeo ved tid t.

Positive verdier av R, J tilsvarer elsk, negative verdier tilsvarer hat. Modellen for deres romanse er:

R' =aJ
J'=-bR

hvor parameterene a og b er positive, for å være konsistent med historien.

Det triste utfallet av dette forholdet er åpenbart en evigvarende syklus av elsk og hat, det styrende systemet har et senter ved (R,J)=(0,0). De klarte iallefall å oppnå simultan elsk 1/4 av tiden (se figur 1.0).

Vi håper at folk kan se alt så mye klarere nå.


Denne artikkelen var i samabeid med Professor Gran og professor Sundsøy. Vi regner med at dette arbeidet kommer til å vekke oppsikt i det moderne forskningsmiljø.

Bisonvodka

Torsdag kveld disputerte Jakub. Jeg var sammen med Jakub på seminar på Kreta i juni, og var invitert i hans doktormiddag. Til middagen kom også Jakubs to søstre, og polske kjæreste. De hadde tatt med seg 12 flasker bisonvodka fra Polen. Det var en veldig god vodka. Kanskje den beste jeg har smakt. I litteraturen er det sagt om vodkaen at "it smells of freshly mown hay and spring flowers, of thyme and lavender, and it's soft on the palate and so comfortable, it's like listening to music by moonlight."


En flaske koster 269 kroner på polet, og jeg anbefaler den på det sterkeste.

Kulturelle Bloggere

Oslo kan by på et stort mangfold av kulturelle opplevelser. På mandag oppdaget jeg til min store glede at selveste Lipstick Liontigers skulle spille på John Dee, sammen med bl a lillebrors band All that and a bag of chips. Totalt sett burde dette være en opplevelse som også Fellesbloggens egen supergitarist Pål ville sette pris på, men han skulle på Henrik Ibsen teater med sin kjæreste.

Hvordan står det til med kulturlivet i Trondheim? Og i Frankrike, visesangens hjemland? Og hva med dere offshorefolk, blir det noen kulturelle opplevelser ute til havs?

I dag skal jeg spise svensk kyllingbryst klasse A til middag. Jeg tok den ut av frysen før jeg gikk til jobb, så den er perfekt tint til i ettermiddag. Tilbehør blir trolig villris, strimlet isbergsalat, sitronpepper og litt sweet chillisaus med utenlandsk ettikett.

Toretters middag for bab og linda

I dag skal Bab og Linda skal spise pannekaker med bacon, fulgt av kylling med broccoli og ris. Linda sa det til meg. Kanskje litt voldsomt? Diskuter.

Egil så Iver forrige uke uten å blogge?

I forrige uke skal Egil ha sett Iver gående med en stor bærepose. Egil har verken blogget eller fortalt det til noen før det glapp ut av han på en fest i går. Hvorfor har han holdt dette hemmelig?

Torgeir is back not

I dag skulle Torgeir ha kommet hjem til Trondheim. Vi hadde selvsagt forberedt et festlig lag i den forbindelse. Bedrøveligvis svarte ikke Torgeir på noen av de mange tekstmeldingene vi sendte, og han tok heller ikke telefonen selv om vi ringte veldig mange ganger.

Det ble til at vi ble Torgeir foruten.

Brage i Barcelona

Jeg har denne uken gjort et par mislykkede forsøk på å kontakte Brage pr. elektronisk post og tekstmeldingssystemet på mobilnettet. Jeg undret over hans manglende svar men kom så på at han hadde fortalt meg, i forrige uke mens vi satt på buss 37 og tittet ut på regnværet i Oslos gater, at han skulle til Barcelona denne uken. Noen som har hørt noe fra ham? Når er han tilbake?

Fint om herr Vik selv kunne gitt en rapport på sine reiser. Forhåpentligvis kan han også si noe om kebaben i Katalonia.
