Help me understand a few fetishes/niches

Balloons?
I've heard of this and seen a few pictures, but what is the turn on? I know many partygoers fill their balloons with inhalents like nitrous oxide, but is that the focus of the niche? Some balloon pics are simply boys playing with and bouncing on them.

Glasses
Does anyone push this and is there a demand for nerdy or geeky looking boys with glasses? Do people want to see the glasses as the sex object, or just the Clark Kent-ism of the boy wearing them and knowing that he is still hot underneath them? In other words, does the model wearing glasses get worshipped by the viewer, or does the viewer want to see the glasses shot with cum and generally just played with?

Jockstraps
Thanks to ArmpitLover for explaining more of the jockstrap fetish. The size of the waistband and the jockstrap's "age" or how used it appears is very important.

Wrestling
Is this worth photographing as a solo set? I mean, guys want to see guys throwing each other around on a mat. Do you think guys want to see a solo set in wrestling gear posing and stripping down? I don't have access to a gym or floor mat, but I have a few guys with wrestling gear.

Thanks guys

balloons - too close to "drug-reference"

glasses - probably the most "under-photographed" content out there , but
there are some guys that look hot with lenses! , the appeal is "schoolboy" , "office-nerd" , the guy next door (the real one!)

jockstraps - about as masculine as "sexywear" get's and great for covering little dicks and/or erection problems. the appeal "gymbunny" , "lockeroom-sex"

wrestling - my personal favorite! , this is a great way of getting close to a straight-guy without it appearing like sex. the appeal "putting your hands on something you might not otherwise get a chance to do in any other situation!"... i'm guessing

I've chatted with quite a few balloon fetish guys in the past, and it's typically nothing to do with drugs, generally a fetish with the party-type balloons and some get a special kick out of popping balloons. One guy told me his fetish started with a childhood incident. He was in the park holding a balloon and a hot-looking stranger man came up and popped the balloon. Ever since he has found balloons and popping them arousing. Some fetishes ARE hard to relate to!

I'm not into balloons, but if you want to check out one of the most popular of the "balloon" sites, check out www.bustersworld.com

Buster is also well known in the leather and bear niches. . .and personally I think he's quite woofy!

i've never heard of a balloon fetish having anything to do with drugs. it's either a specialized latex fetish because of the material and the squeeziness or some people are into the adrenaline of the balloons popping.

glasses - i pushed 'em in straight for years. did just great for me. some people feel that glasses make models look intellectual - bookworms and all that. some just think they look sexy.

wrestling - you could test this but i think most people want to see two guys wrestling, not a lone guy rolling around or simply wearing wrestling gear. why not ask don mike if guys standing and posing in wrestling gear sells - they used to have some sets where he used to work.

Makes me wonder about that song "200 Balloons" from the Batman Soundtrack. it seemed like it had something to do with sex. but maybe it was about drugs.

Even the song by NENA could make a comeback.. (love that song)

99 RED Balloons, and thats even topical with you being able to buy RED everything at the moment

Just found teh lyrics...they are weird....

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
Till one by one, they were gone
Back at base sparks in the software
Flash the message, somethings out there
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky as 99 red balloons go by

99 decisions treat
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by

99 knights of the air
Ride super high tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify, and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you, and let it go

Muscle studs in glasses have been very popular for us. If you add a large stainless dive watch, you can catch two groups.

Our most rabid fans are the Macro guys. Very very loyal and intense.

Alex - by Macro are you referring to extreme close-ups?

**Alex_Manifest_M** · 12-08-2006, 06:46 PM

Actually its the guys like have a thing for giants.

**IdolKnights** · 12-08-2006, 07:43 PM

MACRO as a niche = Big guys with Little guys

Think Jolly Green Giant and a male tinker bell.

**Alex_Manifest_M** · 12-08-2006, 08:01 PM

The idea of giants destroying things and possibly stepping on them (the fan) and crushing them or drowning them in cum seems to be the thing. We are in prodution of a major release for the macro community. Special effects and all. The vids to date have been very 'tiny plastic car' sort of things with a blue sheet sky and not very attractive models.

**Alex_Manifest_M** · 12-08-2006, 08:02 PM

oh one more thing....there has to be a magic potion that causes the giant to grow to at minimum 200 feet tall.

Them's the rules.

I can understand just about every fetish out there.

But I simply do not get balloons. I know men can fetishize just about anything but balloons?

I've looked at it upsdie down, frontways, sideways... whathaveyou.

I simply cannot understand the attraction

Someone please help me understand!
