An explanation of inflation fetishism. AN ESSAYA Look at Inflation Fetishism.
by CleverFoxMan
As an inflation fetishist, I have a great fascination with the cartoonish-ballooning of people. I am not the best writer and I am by no means a psychologist, but I have come to the conclusion that not everyone knows about inflation fetishism (IF). I wish to expound my thoughts, feelings and wish to give a general understanding of IF to the best of my ability.
The first question one would ask is “What is IF?”. The most basic explanation is that inflation fetishism is the fascination or sexual fascination of a person’s body parts expanding larger than human body proportions should allow. This explanation is quite broad and there are many niche groups that differ greatly. There are groups that like different inflated body parts, genders, animals vs people, inanimate objects and even what happens afterwards (bursting, infinite inflation”, etc.). Going back to the initial definition that I have given, IF is an affinity based on a transformation. Some people like to focus on the transformation process itself, the cause and effect, or a mixture of both. It all boils down to what types of inflation one prefers to another. I will dive into the most broad and popular inflation types and then go from there.
Before I go deep into the types, however, I would like to wind back and look at how one may acquire an inflation fetish and how it can become part of someone’s sexual drive. From my personal experience, it comes down to what kind of media one is subjected to when one is in their developmental stages. When I was about 6-8 years old, I watched many films and cartoons. One of my favorite films at that time was the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In this film, there is a character by the name of Violet who eats unstable gum that causes her to swell into the shape of a blueberry. Since this is one of the first women that I was exposed to in film, in my age range, with any lasting memory, I was somewhat attracted to her. What happened to her also frightened me in a way and left a clear mental image of a girl’s body expanding outwards in all directions. As a child, I was also exposed to an abundance of cartoons. A common gag used for laughs in cartoons is a character swelling up or expanding when attached to a hose or air pump. The constant bombardment of these stimuli turned into a sexual fetish when I started to hit puberty. This is the case with many people I have communicated with online, and what movies and shows they have watched as children have greatly impacted the style of inflation that they find personally attractive today.
Mentally, what makes this fetish appealing? Well, there are two key positions in inflation media. There is the inflator, the person who is inflating someone, and the inflatee, the person being inflated. People who see themselves as an inflatee like the idea of their body expanding outwards. The idea of pressure building up inside them as their body pushes out in all directions is a turn on for the inflatee. An inflator, on the other hand, finds joy in inflating someone to either constrict them with their own body, feel them expand, or to have sex with an inflated person.
One of the most popular types of inflation is breast expansion. Many people who aren't into IF can still be sexually aroused to cartoonishly large breasts. It is one of the most sexualized body parts of the female anatomy to the point where people want larger breasts in reality (breast implants). Butt expansion falls under the same category with minor variations.
Belly inflation is also on the top of the inflation list. This one harbors back to cartoon inflations, where a character generally expands outwards from the center of their being.
To quickly sum up many other inflation types, if there is a body part or an object in existence, it expanding larger and rounder could be conceived as sexually arousing. A large amount of inflation fetishists are attracted to more types of inflation than just one. I, personally, am sexually attracted to large bellies, butts, and breasts. All three of theses factors combined at the same time cause an immense arousal that a regular nude picture of a woman would not supply. Some people might prefer a large butt, a mildly distended belly, and small breasts. The combinations are endless, making a finite analysis of IF nearly impossible.
Still staying in the realm of inflation types, one must also address how large a subject gets and what causes the subject to get larger. The most common methods of inflating a person are either with water or air. A new trend that is going around the community is slime inflation, in which a goo-monster forces itself into someone. Another popular inflation method among sexual fans is cum inflation. This is when a character cums so much into another character, that the cum starts filling up that character like a balloon. How big a character gets is also a point of arousal. This range can go from a character becoming as large a pregnant woman, or the size of the universe. I, personally, like it when a character becomes the size of a room. There is no limit to how big a character gets unless one is a fan of popping/bursting.
In the inflation community, bursting is somewhat of a taboo. There are two types, one being more acceptable in the community than the other. When a character reached their bursting point, they could pop and be cartoonishly fine. This is the more accepted version of popping. The more radical lust for popping is when the character explodes and dies gorily. Many people shun that version because they do not want death to be a part of their sexual fantasies. I prefer the latter because it establishes a limit to where dramatic tension can be build. Bursting, however can be a metaphorical climax to the inflation experience. Inflation could be the swelling escalation of sexual intercourse, and popping could, in the mind of an inflation fetishist, be ejaculation.
I hope that this short paper was able to explain a little about the massively broad inflation fetish. As stated, there are so many variants of the inflation fetish that is it near impossible to touch on all the subjects at once. This is just my two cents on the subject.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Well honestly that cleared up little
-I still dont get why some people are into gory poping. Sure, I like violence and stuff, but not this. Like I get it some people love gore. I like it too. But there is a line when it turns disgusting. And death by bursting( aside alien chestburster. I can get along with it)
- Why are some people trying really hard to get others into their fetish. I remember some guy trying to get me into this stuff. It didnt worked out.

Good essay! As a popping fan, yes, bursting = orgasm for me, but for me, it has to be a clean pop. As Phraxes and other similar folk have noted, the burst person coming back rather lacks sexual tension and robs the story of any drama and is a turn-ff for me. That said, gory pops are also a turn-off for me ("Wait, you prefer your vics to burst but don't want it gory? Riiiight.")
I guess for that reason I prefer to have my vics either become scraps or go kaboom in a fireball (which, to my mind, qualifies as a CLEAN pop). I kinda got turned on to this the firs time I ever watch Wonder WOman when it was still on prime-time Tv (which rather dates me) and I first saw her in the Wonder Woman wetsuit. That same week, I also saw the James Bond flick 'Live and Let Die' where the BBG gets force-fed a compressed gas pellet, inflates and explodes. I said to myself, "If Wonder Woman, in her wetsuit, was in the water and in physical contact with me and did that, I woiuld totally go for that." I was only ten at the time, but I found it somehow absorbing and arousing. After that, the idea of strong sexy women forcing me to inflate and go 'BOOM' against my will has always been my turn-on.
Go figure.

I like the explanation as well. I am not really an artist or much of a writer, but I do like seeing and favoring inflation content. For me, it all started with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as well. I can remember myself running into another room when violet's inflation came up, crying that it was too scary. I was about 4 or 5 at the time.
About 7 years ago, during the 5th grade, I was persuaded by a classmate to look up fat people into a image search engine when I was home. I did that, but that did not appeal to me, but it had my curiosity peaked. So I searched around till I found a site called Bodyinflation.org, which was my first exposure to the fetish. I like the site, even going and writing down the address to piece of paper that was locked away. The site linked all artists who had allowed the site to post work, usually they were either dead (as in no new work for about a year or two) or were members on the site. One of links guided me to various account here, but the one that guided me to Blueberry Beach Blanket brought up the most attention. Now, because it did not create an account on here till 3 years ago and the age restrictor bypass was not a thing yet, I had to view most of the comic with age restriction on it. Meaning I could only look at the very beginning of it. But the scene that got me the most was the belt popping page in the comic, which reminded me a lot about the blueberry scene in the movie. Then I found Faridae, and I guess I have looking at things here ever since.
Also i think due my being weirded out by the concept she could explode, i personally do not care much for bursting. But if it is well written or well made, i will enjoy it, even with the bursting. Just please, no guts or body parts flying every where.

While I think this is an excellent explanation of WHAT inflation fetish looks like, it mostly explains the forms in which it takes, and doesn't really get too deep into the underlying cause and rationale, for the most part. So here's my extended explanation for the phenomenon:
Inflation fetish is almost certainly a hybridization of pregnancy fetish and BDSM, combining the control/dominance-centric ideals of BDSM with traditional imagery of classic gender roles, and the cycle of maternity. Arousal occurs in the inflator as a result of realizing and exercising control over their sexual partner through inflation, a process that by most accounts immobilizes the "victim", thus rendering them helpless and under the complete control and authority of the inflator. The inflatee, conversely, finds arousal often in he concept of either submitting themselves to, or otherwise being rendered utterly helpless, willingly or otherwise, at the hands of their inflator/dominator. Arousal in this case can come from the uncertainty and inherent danger and risk of being made so helpless and precarious in front of another human being. Conversely, some find extreme joy and comfort in the idea of submitting themselves wholly to another, despite their fragility, knowing or at least believing/hoping that they are completely safe, despite their circumstances. The image of a body expanding and swelling is invocative of traditional sex roles, and plays on the classic imagery of both men and women swelling in various sexual regions in anticipation of sex, and especially of pregnant women becoming engorged as part of the reproduction cycle. This is the primary reason why it is so common to see women be the subject of inflation fetish; it draws upon subconscious imagery imprinted on us on an evolutionary level.
When the inflation process involves some of sort of inflating apparatus, such as a hose or pump, said apparatus can be said to be substituting for the phallus, aka the penis. This holds true even in the case of same-sex female on female sexual scenarios. The subject's swelling body, conversely, has a dual meaning, and substitutes both for the above mentioned surrogate for the pregnant female, and for a metaphorical representation of a building climax, as mentioned in this essay. This mounting tension of imminent sexual release is easily comparable to the straining flesh of the inflated person, and in the case of a bursting/popping related conclusion, the resulting explosion is equivalent to an orgasm, which is likely why the topic is so divisive; those who advocate and include popping in their works almost certainly see the experience as "incomplete" without the "pop" at the end, much like how most normal sexual partners consider sex to be incomplete without an orgasm. Conversely, those who don't interpret popping in that manner CANNOT see it that way, and merely see the death or grievous injury for what is means in a literal sense, and find the very idea of the experience unpleasant.
In any case, inflation is based on very normal, traditional sexual roles and imagery, in spite of what the nay-sayers might tell you. It is, like most fantasies, a hyperbolic expression of a deep underlying sexual desire found in most indivuduals, and depending on one's upbringing, can become highly prominent, even to the point of total dominance, by the time of puberty.

Interesting read. It's always informative to get other peoples' perspectives about this fetish and what causes it. It's also been amazing to read all these stories in your comments, since people rarely talk about WHY or HOW they got into this.
For my part, in case it helps to have one more datapoint:
I think my first experiences with "inflation" as a kid were Saturday morning cartoons, where it was totally non-sexualized and just meant to be a funny joke. I didn't think much of it. Until I saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory -- and it scared me senseless. My mom also read to me from various books of fairy tales, fables, etc., one of which was an illustrated picture book with Aesop's The Frog and the Ox. At that time, I was just a child and definitely didn't have any sexual feelings or inclination toward any of this. I actually thought Willy Wonka and the Frog and the Ox were like ... body horror ... for lack of a better term. In my young mind, they were dark and terrifying and gave me nightmares for days. ... I'm still afraid to watch Willy Wonka again (which is probably irrational now).
... But I suppose sometimes the things that scare you also leave a lasting impression.
I discovered this community many years later, in my late teens, and instantly connected with it. Which is weird to say, but I suppose it's human nature. It's a terrible analogy, but ... I read somewhere that 90% of rape victims have fantasies about rape. Not because they WANT to be raped, but because it was traumatic, and our brains are hard-wired in a way such that there's some relief and catharsis in reliving our traumatic memories and conquering our fears. Because if we do, then we cease to be the victims and have control again, over our minds and destinies.
It would be interesting if a proper psychological study was ever done into our community. I suspect that most of us either had a profoundly positive or profoundly negative event in our childhoods involving inflation, and those imprinted on us.
But who knows ... after all, I'm just a random idiot that posts booby pics on the internet. Cheers!

I'm the same way about Willy Wonka. I like inflation and blueberry inflation but I just can't watch the movie. After watching it for the first time, I didn't eat gum for a few years. I still get chills when I see the Willy Wonka memes.

Nice work. I'd only take issue with the "only good source" part. 
One is the book Deviant Desires, published by Katherine Gates in 2000; it attempts to explain several fetishes and includes a very generously sized chapter on inflation. Several members of the inflation community at the time were interviewed, including Wren and Helia Melonowski.

I also spoke with Penthouse Forum UK in 2008. It turned into a very respectful look at inflation fetishism, and they went so far as to put it on their cover.

Thank you for keeping the conversation going and creating such a clear explanation! Hopefully some more people will now accept that it's "a thing" even though it's not "their thing."

Very nice explanation! And yeah, this would have to be a looooong essay to truly cover all the aspects of inflation fetish, but it's a well made introduction. (And as far as "influence by shows and movies," I probably had one for the worst ones to show a kid that introduces them: Mr Creosote XD)
For example, a factor for *me* about bursting and inflator/inflatee is intent and mood of the setting. Even gorey bursting (ie Creosote style) can have a different feel depending on context and intent of the one causing it. Personally, I hate when the inflator does it out of sadism or desire to humiliate the subject (Which is why it's been a while since I've looked through your gallery, due to one character). A more friendly sort of bursting I find more preferable, especially when they enjoy getting to that point. I guess I really just don't like when it's forced beyond a certain point XD I much prefer the inflation that leads to the burst to be willingly chosen by the inflatee; even if they are goaded, it was still ultimately their choice. (Creosote again!)
As for vore, I really put it into inflation, as I see absolutely no point in vore if there's no big bloating involved (Thank you Serleena >W>) As for ordinary overeating, I guess that could technically be counted as food inflation...weight gain would really depend on the rapidity.

I figured I'd reiterate my comments from the youtube video version of this essay (because for some reason DA didn't notify me about this journal a week ago like it was supposed to >>).
Very helpful and informative - both for people within the fetish and those outside of it who are looking to understand it better. The presentation is engaging, clear and concise, yet still fairly thorough. I appreciate how you stress level of variety within the fetish, and clearly establish your personal preferences as just that, rather than trying to push them as objective (as that's something that few within the fetish seem able to do).
I will say that never been a huge fan of the whole "inflator/inflatee" dynamic that seems to dominate the fetish, though I completely understand where it's coming from. Personally, I feel it's entirely possible to enjoy watching someone inflate without necessarily being the one causing or controlling their inflation. This is probably just a reflection of my personal bias however, as I've always liked it best when the inflatee expands of their own accord - usually by inhaling or otherwise sucking in air - rather than via some external force (or source). This element of agency and personal control has always been very important for me, even if (ultimately) the subject does end up going overboard and bursting themselves. Similarly, I feel it's possible to be both an inflator AND an inflatee - that is, to enjoy watching other people inflate, while simultaneously wanting to inflate yourself.
As a fan of popping, I've always felt that the link between popping and sexual climax is a strong one, though I don't think that permanent popping necessarily needs to be gory. A clean, cartoony explosion where the character doesn't reform/resurrect at the end would still qualify as permanent in my book, and still allows for the buildup of dramatic tension. I often find myself waffling back and forth between permanent vs. non-permanent popping. On the one hand, the darker implications of permanent popping (ie. violent death) can be a turn-off at times, or at least make things a little uncomfortable. On the other hand, I find that having a character poof back into existence after the boom tends to suck the dramatic impact and significance out of the explosion itself (though I have seen it done effectively from time to time, depending on the characters involved and the story being told).
As with so many things in this fetish, it all depends on what you're after, and how you approach it.
Excellent work, good sir!

Are you intentionally missing the point?
"you're trying to assert your own definitions for these fetishes, when the words inflation and expansion have multiple meanings"
That particular bit you quoted was what other people said in a conversation with me. Not myself. I CAN grasp that there is no official definition when referring to the bounds of the fetish (Ive already fucking said this, why do i have to repeat myself. I initially implied there was due to time pressure leaving me with no better way to explain myself.). I agree there is no specific definition for each, however there IS a difference between what the average person would expect to find when searching for them. Urgo, the 'differences' between the two fetishes, which are based off of things typically associated with either. The definition of inflation associated with the Body Inflation fetish is typically associated with things like Balloons and such. No, its not the official definition, but try telling the average person that. Which differs from Breast Expansion itself, (based on what you more commonly find when you search for it, before you try to tell me im pushing definitions again) which typically doesn't have that immediate association. Breast Expansion tends to take the more literal approach with just 'boobs getting bigger'. Not surprising by any means.
"All pictures have multiple aspects in them, so what, should there only be a Single tag for every picture because"
Heard of Focus? Emphasis? They're two things which can massively alter the way something is perceived. In this case, its the difference between someone wanting to view Breast Expansion art and instead receiving images of Giantess included with. Not a bad thing, but not useful for them, either. Not to mention emphasis and focus are the difference between Artistic Nudity and Erotic Nudity (not being naked and nude, jesus christ that was the dumbest comparison ive ever heard). Tag every image with whatever is even slightly in it and suddenly youve reduced search engines to a miserable level of usefulness, or lack thereof. Search "Girl gets blown up with air" in the search engine and see what you find... (To save you time, you do find many images of it... and many images not of it... and many images that only have a single tag relevant, but are placed in with the others even though the rest have several tags)
Dont tag it as breast expansion when the focus isnt on the BE and suddenly the new search results make sense again.
"ANd for all your baseless claims, you've never once explained what you Think those definitions are or how they are different."
First off, they arent baseless by any means. The amount of content which follow the expectations i refer to is relatively immense. Are there those that dont? Yes. But i never said the expectations were infallible or shared by all, rather simply what the majority would.
As for what they are? Ive already said they dont have one. There are similarities within the inflation content community, sure, which follow certain trends and (yes im using this word again) expectations, but as ive already said, and repeated, there is NOT A DEFINITION. As for differences? Well, as weve BOTH pointed out, there are a serious case of overlap, so actual amount of each based on tags isnt that relevant. However, the best examples i can give (and this is based off actual stuff around, be it here, BI.org, SL, etc) Inflation tends to imply air or gas, or in Blueberry inflation (a different name, so i no problem with it before you bring it up) for example, juice and skin color change, while Expansion tends to lend itself to a larger variety of different means and types of growth. Yes, it shares similarities with Inflation and Inflation is typically also tagged Expansion.... but not vice versa as nearly as often... Implying that even if you choose to act like theyre one and the same, its clear a lot do not.
"I just don't get butt hurt over the idea of some random people possibly thinking I do like green hair."
What if you were abused for it? Treated like shit for years because of the people that cant make that distinction? (Yes, i later found out they specifically had something out for people who liked fat people, before you ask) Then youd be pretty annoyed by it, so dont YOU tell ME what to get butt hurt about. i actually had to LIVE with it
"Finally, for all your talking shit,"
I wasnt, but sure okay. And IM the one getting 'butthurt' apparently. All i hear from you is your own insecurity and lack of conviction for your points. I never insulted you, or degraded you or your standpoint. Difference is, you lowered to the level of actually trying to degrade me to make a point. That implies you weren't so sure to begin with. i ask nothing more from you than a simple level of civility. Whether or not i 'ignore logic and reason' as you so eloquently put it, does NOT give you good reason to insult me.
But sure, this is "Only for my benefit" right... its totally a "Tantrum" right... and oh yeah, "Subject i know nothing about" Pot calling the kettle black much? Maybe if you read what i wrote, and not what you interpreted it as, youd get my point which ive now repeated several times. You picked up on it in the first comment and agreed with its sentiment, but the problem you had with my comment was the fact you disagreed with WHY i thought it should. If you agreed with the sentiment originally, WHAT was your reason to agree with it when theres no actual value to the idea outside of my explanations?
For all the claims you make, they are based entirely upon the idea that 'its not something specific because theres nothing official that says it'
There IS nothing official. But that doesnt mean shit. Do you think rules and laws weren't there before they were written down? No, they werent OFFICIAL until then, but that doesnt mean people didnt frown upon the ideas the rules prevent. Did everyone? No, obviously not, but that doesnt mean the laws and rules werent there. The 'becoming official' simply allowed it to become enforced. Im not asking for what is and isnt inflation to become enforced or official, because then it becomes solidified and with no room to wiggle. I simply ask that the terms (ALL THE TERMS, NOT JUST INFLATION, IN CASE THAT WASNT ALREADY OBVIOUS) become less of an anything, and become more of a coherent concept. Not because it benefits me (it changes nothing for me, really, im not going to change how i act in regards to it and i dont have an issue finding what i want since i want pretty much everything) but rather because it gives people an idea of what they can expect. Simple as that. It benefits everyone who searches for their specific kink.
"Look up Inflation, Expansion, etc. and see how many Millions of images are in the same category"
To quote your own words "That's true...what's your point?". So many also arent. So many also dont have anything related to the tag in them. So many also dont have either tag on them despite having the content we speak of. (Also, funny how you suddenly tell me to, when i told you to...) Not to mention i am STILL not saying that inflation isnt expansion... so youre STILL being very narrow minded about that.
But sure, if you really want to just let the names of the fetishes mean absolutely nothing, then go ahead. I'm sure you wont be even the slightest bit affected by it, so why does it matter to you? Why does it matter to you if you have to disappoint multiple people hoping for an RP because they had a different interpretation of what inflation involves to what you do.
Put simply: If the fetishes are so damn similar and are so incredibly irrelevant as to their details WHY THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE SEPARATE NAMES? If we want to have inflation encompass a shitload of stuff, sure, go ahead, but at least make the different types of it have different names like you WOULD WITH ANYTHING ELSE. I am not asking for 'X is this, and Y is this' definition, simply avoiding ending up in a situation where X, 2 and Waffle all count as letters of the alphabet and suddenly noone knows where in the alphabet they are relative to one another. Ive been saying this from the get go, over and over, why do you find that so hard to grasp?

Calm down please.
I made an essay about the inflation fetish for people who don't understand it. People who aren't in the fetish community wont know the nuanced differences(if there are any) of inflation and expansion.
I was explaining inflation fetishism in the broadest of strokes and merely wanted to express that breast expansion tends to falls under that category.

Just something to mention, by definition (and typically these days, categorization) inflation and expansion are two different things in regard to the fetishes. This is something a large number of us insist upon making sure people are aware of. Your essay is still excellent and otherwise quite detailed, but when you're searching for say... a woman's chest/belly filling with air, youd really like to find that by searching for inflation, as opposed to finding expansion (which has its own name, so it would be good to keep them separate) or weight gain (which isn't even slightly inflation, i don't know why people keep accepting it as such).
While i wont pretend that im some official for these type of things, i make these claims and requests with good reason. Inflation is becoming far too ambiguous when other similar things tend to remain quite obvious as to what they contain.
If i search for Breast Expansion, i can find it. If i search for Weight Gain, i can find it. If i search for Blueberry inflation, i can find it. If i just search for inflation... well... lets just say half the results are talking about rising prices, and the rest could be anything.
Just something i felt like mentioning.
Thanks

"Just something to mention, by definition (and typically these days, categorization) inflation and expansion are two different things in regard to the fetishes."
....noooo? There's barely any official definitions of common fetishes like simply bondage, spanking, etc. Also, those three terms, all overlap and do similar things. To inflate causes something to expand. gaining what causes expansion, and if it's intentionally done, then one can be inflated with fat. Where it's already hard to define a fetish, IF fans also have this common problem of a lack of unified definitions and tags.
I acknowledge this problem and want to making All fetishes and tags more widely known and unambiguous, but your reasoning is false. Also all 3 terms can overlap and be used to describe a single act or picture.
We should acknowledge that some people call it expansion or inflation and that the terms can be used interchangeably. All we can do is to try to tag pictures appropriately on our own.
I agree with your sentiment and do want, like everyone in the community to get on a forum or poll or something....but no one's really motivated to do that. Vist popular image sharing sites like gelboo or furaffin and try to just stick with the consensus opinion fer terms and tags.

Theres no official definition, no, but considering the word Inflation most certainly does then theres a considerable difference between them. I cant tell you how many people ive met who like Breast Expansion, but not Breast Inflation. So there is clearly a difference there, and every single one of them has mentioned it has to do with the idea of inflation being like balloons.
But the thing is, im not asking for them to receive a to-the-letter definition (not saying you said that, just to be clear) im simply asking for people to understand the differences between them so that we can acquire some level of consistency and reliability to the tags and content within the creations.
Giantess for instance, involves breast expansion (by the logic that boobs are getting bigger) but that doesnt mean someone who likes GTS likes BE. Or that someone who likes shrinking doesnt like BE. Get what im saying? In our decisions to allow everything to mean whatever it fits with were allowing a serious case of inconsistency or confusion to arise. Just look at all the people that actually disrespect inflation for instance. They tend to take the shit out of us for liking fat girls.
I dont.
To each their own and all that, but when i get shit on for someones ignorance, it sure doesnt help. So id rather that lack of distinction NOT be mirrored within the community itself.
And yes, while Expansion and Inflation could arguably be applied to the same images, search both in the image search and youll find a large number of images not in the opposite. So, say what you will about the terms being interchangeable or similar, its quite clear that a fair number of people actually have a clue about the difference. Its just a percentage of people who dont give a shit about it enough to learn said differences that i have a problem with.

Id say accurate!
Popping = ejactulation, I usually envision it that way, my whole interest in it stemmed from "kitana's kiss of death"
Maybe it had something to do with the female kissing, quickly followed by the victim stretching out screaming and getting their breath cut short to a croak of pain as they ballooned as tight as Their body could get and Probly kept trying to inflate further causing infinitly increasing outward force of pressure centralized at the belly: until they explode!

I'm sorry, I just laughed so much when you explained what 'cum inflation' was.

I wrote the urban dictionary definition for it a looooooong time ago. I look back upon that and laugh.

Huh...extremely well-written essay about Inflation Fetish. Because it's the only fetish that doesn't bother me.
I actually like drawing and writing expansion on my OCs and some of my favorite female character. But I'm not too hard core...Nor willing to submit any of the stuff involve with inflation, because I'm afraid to be judge.
Usually I draw it for comic relief and to enjoy drawing big bellies. Just for fun when I'm feeling bored.
Thank you for explaining this.
