Advice
Maybe you’ve already heard talk of looners, maybe not. Regardless, behind this intriguing sounding name hides a surprising fetish: balloons. This often misunderstood fascination can provide a treasure trove of sensations and pleasure, mixing nostalgia, arousal and sensory exploration.
Let’s dive into today’s topic and discover the mysteries of the balloon fetish world, from what sort of practices it involves and how to ensure safe balloon play, to how to incorporate the right toys to take the experience up a notch.
What Exactly Does it Mean to Have a Balloon Fetish?
The term ‘looners’ is applied to anyone who experiences a high level of sexual arousal thanks to the help of balloons. Usually born out of curiosity or a fond memory of some sort, this fetish can take on many different forms. Some find the build up of inflating a balloon extremely exciting, others can be driven wild by the popping aspect, whilst some simply enjoy the tactile aspect or the visual and/or oral sensations that an inflated balloon offers.
Typically, this practice is considered to belong to its own special fetishist category thanks to the prevalence of the online community that allows its members to share both their experience and advice.
Why Do Balloons Have Some People Going Bursting Mad?
Balloons arouse many pleasant sensations. Physically, their soft, smooth texture as well as their elasticity stimulate the tactile senses, whilst the characteristic noise of a balloon that’s inflated or popped stimulates the hearing.
Psychologically, balloons are often linked to happy, innocent childhood memories, hence creating a sort of eroticised form of nostalgia. The temporary, fragile aspect of a balloon that could pop at any moment also builds sexual tension, creating a subtle game of control and lack thereof.
How to Practice Safe Balloon Play
As for any sexual practice, safety comes before anything else. Make sure to pay attention to the following precautions:
- Opt for high quality, non toxic and resistant balloons.
- Inflate gradually to avoid any unexpected popping that could cause injury.
- Never use a balloon to block your respiratory passageways, choking is a serious hazard in balloon play.
If you want to explore this fetish with a partner, make sure to discuss it in advance, in a way that prioritises openness, and make sure to define each person's limits and desires.
Inflatable Sex Toys to Enrich your Looner Experience
If you want to make the experience even more pleasurable, there are certain sex toys that offer perfectly adapted inflatable fun.
Inflatable dildos
Perfect if you want to gradually increase intensity, the inflatable dildo allows you to increase or decrease its girth depending on your mood. The inflation feature offers unique sensations, subtly reminiscent of blowing up a balloon, all whilst ensuring you remain fully in control of the pleasure you obtain.
Inflatable butt plugs
Inflatable butt plugs create gradual dilation that’s particularly interesting for those wanting to dip their toes into the world of anal exploration. The controlled inflation will allow you to enjoy a super satisfying fullness.
Inflatable prostate stimulators
For an even more targeted experience, inflatable prostate stimulators focus on giving you gradual yet precise prostate pleasure. The ability to adjust the volume at your will guarantees personalised sensations that range from subtle to intense.
Don’t forget to stock up on a water-based lube that’s compatible with your inflatable toys, and always clean them thoroughly after use for optimal hygiene and to preserve your toys’ shelf life.
Other Accessories that Can Also Add to the Experience
