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.
