Body inflation

Body inflation is the act of expanding or pretending to expand a part of one's body, sometimes for sexual gratification. It could be done by inserting balloons or balls inside a tight clothing, like latex clothing, and then expand them. Some people have made suits to make them bigger overall. Sometimes the body is actually expanded by enema or drinking a lot of liquid. The concept of body inflation is mostly connected with the feeling of being bound to one place.
