Inflate123's wacky world of inflatable fetishism

Have you met...Cyndi Irresistible?

Inflatables? What Kind Of Pervert Are You?

"Inflatable fetish?" I hear you cry. "Does that mean you like blow-up dolls?" Well, not really...something with a bit more imagination, if you please! Inflatable fetishes run the gamut from erotic fascinations with common latex balloons (sometimes popping same, but not always), vinyl pool toys/rafts, inflatable (often rubber) clothing or other erotic fantasies less based in reality (for instance, women's breasts or bodies inflating). Over the years I have gained interest in several categories, but I must admit I'm rather drawn to that last one. Still, I've been in contact with at least one person who found something in the above list of, shall we say, strong personal interest. So if anything sounds interesting there, suffice it to say that you're not alone.

The Buddies

In fact, in the early 90's, all of us nutcases banded together on the 'net under the name Balloon Buddies. There were a whopping 12 people there at the start. Imagine a support group and general email chat session for all the people mentioned above, and you've got the idea. Over time, as the Internet grew, so did our ranks, and eventually everybody split off into subgroups and thrived. Hey, we may be sexual deviants frowned upon by society and ignored by the porn industry, but at least we're organized.

If you're interested in good ol' latex balloons, visit BalloonBuddies.com. This is really where it all started--this was the first organization online for inflatable fetishists of any type!

Are you interested not only in pool toys but inflatable animals as well? Visit Xydexx's Inflatable Animals Fetish Page.

If body inflation fantasies are what you're keen on, head to BodyInflation.orge.

And, last but not least, if you have wacky fantasies about, say, women's breasts inflating, visit the !!BE_LOFT home page or the Breast Expansion Archive.

This is far from comprehensive--there are zillions of sub-fetishes beyond this--anime, furry, pregnancy, you name it, it's out there. A lot of these niche elements seek solace in the Yahoo Groups that come and go seemingly randomly. Search for relevant terms and obvious keywords that match your interest at Yahoo Groups and you'll find some good inflatable communities. See a list on my Links page.

Research & Development

Now, if your tastes run solely to the breast enlargement (BE for short) scenario (okay, I admit, it's my main interest), I still heartily encourage you to inquire about the breast inflation Buddies list as detailed above, but you will also want to know about a non-Buddies newsletter known as the R&D newsletter. That's a periodic Web publication edited by Al, Some Sort of Dog. It's a fascinating document every time it's released, full of updates on stories, sightings and all things interesting to the breast enlargement enthusiast. Plus, Al's got that bone-dry British wit going on, so the presentation really is as much fun as the subject matter. Check with one of the many R&D outposts to read the latest newsletter.

Some Stories...For You!

I'm not a very good or proficient fiction writer, but I have tried my hand at a few stories, which I'm willing to share. Enjoy them for what they are.

Eating Light My first story, and it reads like it. Originally just called "dinner.txt," it's since been renamed "Eating Light," but most places have it erroneously listed as "Eat Light." Oh well, it's very short and not too good anyway...
The Lab My second attempt doesn't read any better to me, but it's longer at the suggestion of Dr. Enlarge. I added some spandex to the plot, and managed to get a willing subject this time. Still, I think this could be a lot better.
Remote Possibilities Over the course of a mutual e-mail bitch session, Sievert and I realized how sick and tired we were of seeing so many B.E. stories with unbelievable characters--particularly, women whose breasts suddenly grow to enormous proportions and then immediately get excited by it. We asked ourselves, "What would happen if this really happened to a woman? What would the emotions be?" Call me kooky, but if my wife's breasts suddenly started to inflate, I don't think she'd suddenly start playing with herself--she'd freaking panic on the spot. That's the logic and angle this story was written from--believable people in an unbelievable situation. In case you're wondering, Sievert and I passed ever-larger story fragments back and forth over a period of nine months before we had something we liked. I'm pretty happy with it and, of course, I'm grateful for the opportunity to share a pen with Sievert.
Self-Control This story came to me all at once, a wild stream-of-consciousness thing that I was lucky enough to put down on paper. It bothered me a lot after I wrote it, so I released it with a byline of Anonymous. I think I tapped a part of my fetish that I wasn't really aware of. Now that I've had some time to deal with it, I've put my name on it...well, my nice, safe, relatively anonymous e-mail account name, anyway...
Cindairella I get frustrated by the fact that I can never come up with original ideas for stories--pretty much every BE plotline, from magic to chemistry to freak accidents, has been done. So one day I decided to chuck it all and go with an existing fairy tale plot, therefore requiring little or no effort on my part. After being very amused by the title, I promptly sat on my ass for about a year while the story waited in various states of disrepair. It's finally done, January 1, 1998...
Liquid Helium Total pseudo-science nonsense--and yet something I've wanted to write for a long time. Does helium even have a liquid state? Clearly, I didn't care enough to find out--I just wrote. Besides, it's been over two years since my last story; can't ya cut me some slack? Released May 2000.
Everything When you're really, really horny and stranded in a hotel room on a business trip, the minds starts to wander. This story--about an arrogant woman who has everything and gets her inflatable comeuppance--is a bit more rough and nasty than I usually write, but I actually toned it down considerably before release. This is still a bit gritty, and since when have you seen a revenge story that wasn't a little mean-spirited anyway? Released March 2002.

Some Pictures...For You!

Meanwhile, some instant gratification. It's my web site, so my choice of the pix...here's a few photos and drawings that'll give you an idea of my personal demons. Click on them to download larger versions.

Some movies, like Repossessed, hold surprises.	Sometimes you find rasterbated stuff that fits the bill...	...and sometimes you find real-life shots that don't need any enhancement.
Some folks just draw their fantasy, or have it drawn for them. (Captain Furry drew this.)	Once upon a time, they made inflatable brassieres! Click for photo and info.	A bit more recently, the inflatable bikini went on sale...click for photo and info.

I maintained a vault of videos for several years but eventually retired to move on to new projects and passed the torch to the BEA. Check it out.
