Blow til it Pops

I took five in total.

One red balloon, one yellow, three blue.

Blowing the blues up and bouncing them round.

Feeling sexy as hell, while literally bound.

Releasing the air for only a few.

Blow til I pop, right along with the red balloon.

Releasing a wave, a rush~ no way to explain.

The satin feeling of yellow on my skin I do indeed like.

Don’t pop my balloon, I want to keep it all night.

The smell of latex, stimulates my mind.

Inhaling through my nose I take in its scent, knowing it will remain long after I’m spent.

The sounds of breathing with a balloon close to my face.

The squeak as my teeth grasp the latex.

Pop! A slight sting to my face triggers waves of pleasure through my body…..

Yes,  it can be.

A small room of balloons, I know just the place.

Filled to the brim, very little space.

I know you will find me, popping balloons as you go.

Balloon collateral damage, until we blow.

 

Ah….balloon fetish poetry,

Looner Proposal

This proposal is aimed at determining if the sexual fetish of balloons, referred to a “looners” may cause physical or psychological harm to a participant.  Determining this is my first objective but I also have interest in learning more about this sexual fetish and the people who participate.

My executive summary will explain what is considered a sexual fetish and how I became aware of balloons as a sexual fetish.  At this point, I have found no print copies in any format to use as a research tool.  All the information about looners is on the World Wide Web.  As I gather information and perform my own research online I plan to give a clearer meaning of this fetish and why it is labeled a fetish.   In doing so, I believe my conclusions will give honest answers to questions non-looner people have.

I have prepared a questionnaire and e-mailed it to people I have found online who are part of the looner community.  One person I have successfully reached online appeared on The Learning Channel’s show, “Strange Sex” and talked with them about his balloon fetish.  I have emailed him the questionnaire but I am not sure if he will reply.  Since sending out the questionnaire, I have received five responses.  Some responses are anonymous but all of them are answered honestly.

From the information I gather on the internet combined with first hand research, I believe a conclusion will be reached concerning the possible harm in practicing this fetish.  Also, a clearer definition of looners will be established and I will include respondent’s comments to help clarify what makes a balloon a sexual object and why.

Definition of Looner

Now that is a big balloon!

What is a “looner?”

That’s what I will be researching!

Wikipedia’s definition:

A balloon fetish is a sexual fetish that involves balloons. A balloon fetishist is also referred to as a “looner.” Some balloon fetishists “revel in the popping of balloons and [others] may become anxious and tearful at the very thought of popping balloons”. Others enjoy blowing up balloons or sitting and lying on them.

 

Very interesting topic to research.  Keep an eye out for posting as I do my research.

If you are a Looner and would like to be interviewed please email me at pcrider@ycp.edu.  Put Looner in the subject line of the email.

Thank you!
