Have you heard of balloon kink?
If all my years as a kink writer has taught me anything, it’s that if you can see it, smell it or touch it, someone has tried to use it in the pursuit of sexual pleasure.
This is absolutely true of balloons. These colorful party favors check off all the boxes in terms of offering a sensual experience.
What’s the Balloon Fetish About?
There’s a whole community of balloon enthusiasts out there. They call themselves Looners, and here’s what they love most about their air-filled orbs of ecstasy.
Balloon Color
For some Looners, different colors of balloons evoke different emotional responses. Yellow makes them feel happy, black brings out their sexier side, green encourages thoughts of peace, and red turns them into the naughty fire crackers they are!
No two people have the exact same response to color and one person’s happy place could be another person’s den of rage. It’s a good thing balloons come in so many colors! There’s something for everyone.
Balloon Shape
Long and thin or fat and round, balloons come in very sexy shapes. I hadn’t thought of it before, but round balloons resemble boobs and buttocks. You can even create a nipple-like protrusion at the end of your balloon by not blowing it up all the way.
Long balloons look a lot like, well… you know, and really long balloons look like vaginas, but only if you spend enough time twisting them into shape. (I’m assuming that if clowns can make balloon animals, they can make balloon vaginas too!)

One looner-centric company manufactures balloons out of a heavier gage rubber so that they can withstand being straddled and pinched, and that’s great because who wants a balloon vagina that’s just going to pop the minute you try to fuck it?
Balloon Texture
Rubber is sexy for a lot of people, add to that the soft, squishy texture of a semi-inflated balloon and (according to looners) you’ve got yourself a show-stopper. In contrast, some people prefer the feel of a fully inflated balloon against their skin. They enjoy the soft, smooth texture and even the squeaking sound it makes when rubbed.

Some looners like to sit on a big balloon as it’s being inflated because they get off on the pressure it exerts on their ass and thighs. Others enjoy bouncing on their balloons as if they’re riding a hairless pony. Yee-haw!

Unpredictability
If there’s one thing I hate about balloons, it’s that they pop. I always jump ten feet in the air when it happens, scattering birthday cake everywhere. On one awful occasion, I shot milk out of my nose. Not sexy at all.
For some folks, however, waiting for a balloon to burst is exciting. It makes them feel all tingly and hot. I can kind of see it, the resolution of all that tension like a big, loud orgasm.
