A small seamsplits are easy to repair. The process is the same as for small punctures, but you need to press a repaired place by large weight through something soft (I using a piece of rubber) until the glue dries.

I enjoy putting holes in mine, I try and order multiple of new balls so I can really enjoy the first one when it comes in.

Same here, I enjoy putting little holes in my inflatables.

I see it as the beach ball is fighting the urge to fully burst. Go harder to see who will pop first...usually me!

This REALLY depends. If it's cheap and replaceable, then that's the end of it's lifespan. It's getting ridden down or burst. Still, pvc gets expensive sometimes. Always wanted to buy just ONE of those expensive one's that you see the pornstars use all the time, but I can't drop hundreds of dollars on the fly like that. Currently have a nemo that I ride and cuddle on occasion, began leaking 2 weeks ago. Patched it up and now it holds air good as new, but I know it's not gonna take more abuse. It was an expensive splurge for my wallet, but I can't make these last forever, and the temptation to pop it and ride it down in a heap of warm plastic is very real.

I would be the one opening the valve, I did manage to blow to pop a beachball once.
I enjoy letting down inflatables for some reason.

I do this too, I love inflatables that also have a pin prick puncture.
Its awesome to ride them down

Depending on when it happens, realizing that there's a leak might be very arousing thing.

For me, part of the appeal of inflatables is that they're at risk of springing a leak. Sometimes I'll open a valve and intentionally "simulate" an accidental leak, but if it just happens "naturally" then that could be a real turn-on.

I usually don't severely overinflate my inflatables so hearing a hiss doesn't mean it's going to burst, so I don't need to get off. Afterwards though I'll look for the leak and try to repair it.

That's a good idea to leave it not blown up so much, I would rather a leak then a big pop.
I leave the stopper slightly loose,so it pops out on its own accord

…I inflate my PVCs rock hard, the seams will eventually form pinholes or tears from the pressure. My first discovery of a leak is usually when I first grab something for a looning session, and it's already softened down quite a bit.

I don’t know if you’ve caught me making the observation, but moderate stress over a long time will split seams the same as a lot of stress over a short time. So, if I put an overinflated float in the closet, there’s a good chance it’ll have a leak when I take it out again. So I deflate enough that it’s puckered a lot before putting it away.

A swim ring with a reinforced seam can stretch so much that even after it is soft enough to pucker, as the vinyl continues to shrink over time, the thing can get rock hard again and need more deflation. And a third time. If I’ve really stretched an inflatable I’ll leave it out until I’ve let it recover and shrink and deflate. A slim, one-chamber air mattress is another that will stretch enough to need deflating multiple times before putting it away.
