    How old are you?

    Sorry if this thread has been brought up before, I had a look but couldn't find one.

    I was just curious as to what kind of age range we all are here. I feel like I'm probably amongst the youngest here being 18

    Probably most of us are going to be a bit older than you. But most of us aren't extremely old. We still have the energy to inflate and enjoy riding our inflatables down as they slowly deflate under us.

        Interesting to see that so far in the poll 18 and under are the joint largest age group with people aged 31-40... maybe a lot of this community is younger than I thought!

          I feel like it partially has to do with the fact that the past two generations or so tend to be a lot more active online.

                I'm 19. I always loved balloons as a kid, which gradually got more and more involved.

                  Yeah it usually starts at puberty and younger members will have grown up with the internet and results show this.

                    I think my 'fetish' started when I was about six. But of course, back then I had no idea what a fetish was. I remember inviting my friend round our house all the time when I was like 7/8 to blow up and play with my inflatables. I knew I was a non-popper the day he burst a tiny, cheap inflatable toy and I got so upset and made him leave the house 😂

                      Oh yes I think the interest/fascination often starts quite early but its only a fetish in the strict sense from sexual maturity.

                          Probably about the same here- five or six I think for inflatables, my mid teens for discovering balloons.

                            I am 29 right now. It was started when I was 13 I think. First inflatables, later balloons.

                              Yeah I had balloons around during my childhood too, but they never held the same appeal to me as inflatables did. But then in my mid teens I got into them, they're a totally different kettle of fish- for me they had this vulnerability, they were fragile but I loved all the noises n sounds they made.... but yes, I feared them bursting which became the real fascination with them.

                              Pushing a balloon to its limits either through inflation, or riding one- making as much noise as one could get out of one, without deliberately popping it. Though they often did of course.
                              I don't mind popping balloons through riding them, but I'm still a total wuss when it comes to blow to popping, no problems with watching others b2p, but just can't bring myself round to doing a b2p myself ��
