Balloon photos from my nephews birthday. In the video is my adult son Zeth. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=379150355438393
Feet, shoes and balloons
At least once a day I search balloon + something to see what kinds of balloon pictures I get.
Today I searched: balloon + feet, balloon + high heels, balloon + toes, and balloon + shoe
Here’s what I got! There is no limit to the imagination! ~P.
My own interview
Name or Alias: Pattie Crider
Gender: F
Age: 41
Occupation:Student
What age did you find you liked balloons? 8
At what age did balloons become a part of sex for you? First time I was 14 and had a balloon from a party I had been at. That night I had it in bed with me and I started to feel excited and warm while I rubbed the balloon (cheap, pink, oblong, and not even fully inflated) all over myself and eventually I slipped my underwear off to feel it completely naked and that was when I really learned how to masturbate. I was scared of waking my friend who was in the bedroom and my sister. The balloon was noisy! Funny, I didn’t even know what an orgasm was back then and didn’t have one. I just knew it felt pretty good. It didn’t take long and I did learn what an orgasm was after a little practice. 😀
Is this fetish shared with your significant other? (boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband)
Yes, he knows.
Why or why not? Because he will try anything new.
Do you reveal your fetish to family? Friends? Some I have…no one really gives a shit what I’m doing with balloons and/or Dale. F’em if they do.
What about balloons do you find appealing? How they feel on my skin, the static, the squeaky noise, latex smell, popping them. I think it would be fun to blow up balloons with my friends and video it to see who blow fastest. Hehe
How do you involve balloons in a sexual experience? Blowing them up while having sex or masturbating. I like to hear how the sounds and words I make change with the balloon against my face. I like to lick or kiss or bite them too. Dale likes to put them between us during sex and popping it.
Do you find other objects that can hold air stimulating? Yes: latex gloves, condoms, ultrasound wand covers, beach balls and inflatable pool toys. Hmmm what else: pool inner tubes, pool rafts, air mattress, and this really odd latex contraption…it was kind of like a balloon in reverse. The air was sucked out and I was trapped in seconds. Way cool.
Are you sexually stimulated just by the sight of balloons? (at a traditional party) No. Might take some balloons home with me. lol
Does size, shape or color of the balloon make a difference? I am drawn to the unique shapes, like fetish gloves and stockings. I’ve seen both before but never thought about putting air in them. That was new to me since beginning this research. I like balloon art, one-of-a-kind balloon sculptures, pretty women with balloons. Clear balloons, opaque, those gigantic balloons at car lots…I’ve seen videos of the huge balloons and would like to try those out.
Are helium balloons more attractive/stimulating than regular blown balloons? no
If a balloon has a balloon inside, is that extra stimulating? Yeah, I kinda dig that.
Do you prefer blowing up balloons or inflating with helium? Blowing up
Do you ever fill balloons with something other than air? (water, sand, mayonnaise, pickle juice) Yes, but that was inspired by a friend. I’ve filled them with water. I been experimenting lately but find it to be messy and unpredictable.
Are the silver (foil) balloons appealing? No
Do you have a specific balloon memory from childhood? Good or bad? Just the one at age 14. As an adult I’ve always had balloon popping games for my kids parties. I “liked the balloons like a 5 year old likes balloon.” The kids had fun and that’s what it was about.
Do you like to pop balloons? Yes. The more I pop them, the more I enjoy it.
Do you get attached to the balloons and hate when they pop? Not really. I draw on balloons sometimes just for fun but I’ve found permanent marker transfers easily to my face.
Do you have a favorite looner moment? Balloon in the shower was memorable.
In your opinion is there any harm in a balloon fetish? (Physically, psychologically, etc.) No, unless it is being hidden from others and that bothers you. Guilt, fear of others finding out, scared of being labeled a weirdo, pedophile, etc.
What do you believe other people think of Looners? Weird, sexual deviant, pedophile. Others seem to have little to no problem with balloon fetish.
Does being a Looner have any effect on your relationships with others? No, and if it bothers someone they can bite me or my balloon. My youngest son (18) is not happy about me posting on FB because it goes on his wall. I told him I couldn’t stop writing but I would change my setting so it wouldn’t post on his FB. His friends apparently want to talk to him about what I write (in my blog overall) and he doesn’t want to hear about my divorce. I told him to tell his friends “My mom is a writer. I know she writes weird stuff. You guys read it!”
What do you find to be the most enjoyable activity with a balloon? (smell, feel, static, popping sound, etc.) The feel…it gives me goosebumps sometimes. Nice!!
Any other comments please write as much as you would like.
(Why thank you Pattie.)
Much of this fetish is new to me. I am open-minded. Someone likes balloons, someone else handcuffs. Another person likes whips and chains, caning, knives, leather, shoes, diapers…dressing in fuzzy animal costumes. Hell, a local disc jockey on the radio in PA (Nipsey, The People’s DJ 105.7 FM) talks about his foot fetish all the time.
I am strong in faith.
Let people be who they are….God does the judging.

fishnet and balloons
It didn’t record very well and I was wanting to leave for the party…. ~P.
Not upset, just surprised
Would you say York County PA is a conservative area? What about York College Campus?
Should a campus newspaper worry if an article is too controversal for print? Is there such a thing as news that is too controversal to share with the public?
I have many questions suddenly, that I had never given thought to before. When I began researching a sexual fetish involving balloons for a final paper in writing course, I never expected it to be so damn interesting. I wanted to share with YCP the opportunity to follow along in my research and even become a part of it, if they find balloons stimulating. The faculty at YCP did not enter my mind because I don’t write for the faculty, I write for my fellow students.
This is my first response from one of the editors concerning the preview article about balloon fetishists:
“I believe I’m talking to Dr. Zerbe tomorrow about a whole bunch of things, so as long as he says it’s okay, the balloon one should be good to go too. I’ll keep you posted. -Leah”
And the response I received today:
“Dr. Zerbe, Stephen and I, we decided to publish the balloon article online but not in the print version. The only reason I really didn’t want to publish it in the print issue is just because York is a somewhat conservative area, and a small but significant portion of the readers of the print edition are the Deans and administration. I just don’t think it’s appropriate for that audience. However, I think that it is much better suited to the online issue, and you’ll get much more of a response online especially when we can link it directly to your blog. I hope that’s okay! I think it’s going to give you a much better response, anyway. -Leah”
This is my response to the email and I CC’d it to the other editor and Dr. Zerbe, the professor who advises us news reporters:
Leah,
When I submitted this random piece for an article, I did so never giving it thought that the content would be a problem. This is a topic I am researching for a final paper in writing and just thought it would be cool to share in this research. I did not know if anyone that reads The Spartan would answer the questions, but I think you should keep this in mind, anyone can have a fetish regardless of their profession. This college does not strike me as conservative because I am also involved with LLAMBDA and know that it is widely accepted by most everyone on campus. I can honestly say I have never heard of or seen any type of prejudice at YCP.
This has actually turned out to be even more interesting to me that it won’t make the college printed paper because there is suddenly a concern of who might be offended. If that were really a true concern, then the articles written for the Spartan in the past would not have covered abortion, smoking, gay rights, etc. I am not against my article going into the online edition. My only concern is the “online edition” will now be the dumping grounds for anything even slightly controversial, like balloon fetishist. If we want fellow students to pick up the copies that are printed we have to have content that they want to bother reading. Otherwise, let’s just skip printing anything and focus all our attention online.
I appreciate the consideration by yourself, Dr. Zerbe, and Stephen but I will voice my disappointment that this is found to be too controversial to print. My final paper may very well go deeper into this fetish that anyone has ever gone before. To me that is ground-breaking and news-worthy.
Sincerely,
Pattie Crider
You know you are a looner when:
You know you are a looner when:
- Car lot balloons are more interesting than the new cars.
- You dream about the Goodyear Blimp. In color.
- Foil balloons ruin an occasion.
- The box of latex gloves under the sink isn’t really for cleaning.
- Non-lubricated condoms are preferred.
- Balloon shards cover your carpet like spent rounds.
- Balloons are hidden between the mattress and box spring.
- You know what the real differences between balloons.
- You match your wardrobe to the balloon color you blow up each morning.
- You cannot resist the urge to take balloons home after someone throws a party.
Ok, so I’m just kidding around! LOL
~P.
Write in the comments your ideas for knowing when you are a looner!
