A balloon fetish is a fetish that involves balloons. A balloon fetishist is also referred to as a "looner". Some balloon fetishists "revel in the popping of balloons and [others] may become anxious and tearful at the very thought of popping balloons". 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.

Examples

Geiru Toneido, a fictional homicidal clown and balloon artist from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, has a heavy focus on balloons as part of her character, with a large amount of balloon based innuendos (it is a running gag throughout her appearance that her "balloons" are a double entendre to her well-endowed chest). Geiru has developed notoriety online as a "clussy" with a large amount of "NSFW" art produced. This art often has a heavy focus on the sexualisation of balloons, as per Geiru's character gimmicks.
