whathoDo you know what the second best thing in the world is? The sneeze fetish. I was reading about it on Wikipedia. There's no reason I shouldn't have been. I was looking up the photo sneeze reflex thing; naturally, noticing a link to sneeze fetishes, I clicked on it. I learned that there are lots of people who have an uncommon enjoyment not only of sneezing but of watching other people sneeze. I also learned that someone who enjoys watching same-sex sneezing is not necessarily homosexual. And there are some people who would induce non-consensual sneezing in other people for their own pleasure, but most people in the sneeze fetish world frown very much on this practice. Right on.
The only thing in the world better than the sneeze fetish is the balloon fetish.
I LOVE THE BALLOON FETISH. I had to make noises of unrivalled joy when reading about it. I thought I was totally and incontravertably in love with the sneeze fetishists until I read about the balloon fetishists, sometimes known amongst themselves as 'looners'. An overview:
- Balloon fetishism is a fetish in which a person has an unusual fascination of, or pertaining to, balloons. Some people enjoy only the act of inflation itself or viewing members of their desired sex inflating balloons, while others enjoy the act of popping by various means.
- The life cycle of a balloon (ed. JOY!) has four phases: inflation (blowing it up by some means), admiration (looking at it), interaction (touching, moving, watching), and destruction (deflation, popping, releasing).
PEOPLE ADMIRING BALLOONS. It's so sweet. I love it entirely.
- The popper is primarily excited by the bursting of a balloon, both by the anticipation and the sensory experience of the explosion itself.
- The non-popper, on the other hand, dislikes (often vehemently) destroying the balloon but instead chooses to admire and interact with it.
Oh! The angst! The potential schism in the balloon fetish world. Personally, I favour the non-popper who vehemently dislikes the destruction of the balloon. I think perhaps I have a balloon fetishism fetish. I don't see how anything could be greater.
I'm going to look up fruit fetishism next.
