Meanings
plural looners
- informalOne who has a balloon fetish.
Many looners are terrified of talking about it in case they might be accused of being pederasts. They fear that a psychologist would just label them as "sick."
1999, Katharine Gates, Deviant Desires: Incredibly Strange Sex1 more example
Looners (as they call themselves) can generally be divided into two categories, regardless of whether they prefer their balloon play with a partner or alone: poppers and non-poppers.
2019, Dennis DiClaudio, The Deviant's Pocket Guide to the Outlandish Sexual Desires Barely Contained in Your Subconscious, page 87
