Balloon fetish explained

A balloon fetish is a fetish that involves balloons.[1] [2] [3] A balloon fetishist is also referred to as a "looner".[4] Some balloon fetishists "revel in the popping of balloons and [others] may become anxious and tearful at the very thought of popping balloons".[5] Though experiencing extreme fear, anxiety or panic at the thought, sight, sound, touch and smell of balloons is more commonly referred to as "globophobia" and not considered a fetish. Other balloon fetishists enjoy blowing up balloons or deflating them.[6]
