The balloon fetish is actually quite widespread. Rather soft, it centres on an object that doesn’t leave anyone indifferent: the balloon. anyone indifferent: the balloon. the balloon. balloon.⏎⏎Whether. you’re. the. type. to. pop. every. balloon. within. reach,. or. on. the. contrary,. you. dreaded. the. ‘bang!’. of. a. bursting. balloon,. admit. it:. the. balloon,. colourful. and. ephemeral,. doesn’t. leave. you. cold.
Balloon. fetish:. should. you. pop. them?
The balloon. fetishists,. or looners,. split. into. two. groups. with. very. distinct. interests. On. one. side,. there. are. the poppers,. who. take. pleasure. in. popping. balloons.

Reddit. I’ve translated a few excerpts for you:
On the popper / non-popper divide:
I’ve seen forums dedicated to balloon fetishists that have separate sections for poppers and non-poppers, and it’s not uncommon for a fetish video to be tagged ‘non-popping’. To sum up, I imagine that if there were an annual looner convention, it would be best to hire the two opposite wings of the building in which it takes place, so as not to disturb the non-poppers.
On his sexual practices:
Actually, it’s quite simple: I just climb on top of them and/or bounce on them until I reach orgasm. I don’t remember exactly how it started, but I was about 11… I noticed that my penis was hardening and that I could get a very interesting sensation in the groin area (this was before I was able to ejaculate). Nothing to do with orgasms as I know them now. Looking back on it now, I think it was probably what’s called a non-ejaculatory orgasm.
On the risk of a balloon popping near his testicles:
I think it would hurt if there weren’t any layer of clothing to protect. I almost never play with a balloon without underwear – I don’t like the sticky feel of latex in that area. I guess I’ve been lucky that it’s never happened to me, ha ha. One interesting thing to know is that bigger balloons, like the ones I like, actually tend to sting much less when they pop. So actually, it’s not as painful as one might imagine.
On what his circle thinks about balloon fetishism
I haven’t told many people about it in real life. My current girlfriend is the only person who knows. At first, she found it a bit weird, but after a few explanations, she understood why I found it attractive. She told me she didn’t take any particular pleasure in playing with balloons, but that she was happy to do it for me.
The balloon fetish and looner pornography
Fetish videos are very soft for anyone who is neither a popper nor a non-popper : a woman (dressed) playing with balloons, sitting on them, and, depending on the target audience, eventually popping them. Even if you’re not a balloon fetishist, it’s colourful, generally sexy and quite pleasant to watch.
- For the poppers, popped balloons with scissors and popped balloons by sitting on them.
- For the non-poppers, in this one, no balloon has been assassinated.
- from the video in question 2 girls, 1 balloon
(don’t expect to see anything grotty).
News coverage of balloon fetishism
- Balloon fetishism has been the subject of several news reports: A video report from the Huffington Post, in which a dominatrix talks about what excites her: popping balloons.
- Also on the Huffington Post, a another article, about a man who, for his part, likes heart-shaped balloons (but it’s not sexual) and can’t stand them popping.
