November Xtra Blog - Looners

A balloon fetishist, otherwise known as a "looner", is one whom is granted great sexual satisfaction through the "popping" and "non-popping" of balloons.

This paraphillia, fetish, is one shrouded in mystery and complex psychological complexes. Little is known about this fetish, other than that it is rooted from early childhood and comes into full fruition during puberty. Many have wondered why such feelings of satisfaction may occur from balloons, some account it to the balloon symbolizing the hymen and the satisfaction one may have from either breaking it or preserving it. Others contribute it to the ethology of death, and how the popping may represent the death of oneself.

Below is a video of people who openly admit to having the fetish and take it in an all new direction.

Blog 11 - EQ

1. Review this. Confirm by stating "I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ."

I reviewed the rule of three for writing an EQ.

Tell us if each meets the rule of three.
Tell why they do or don't.

a. What is the most important factor in healthy weight loss?

They meet the rule of three because it gives room for argument, given a stance is taken, and research can be made to prove one's point. Though I must wonder, weight loss in whom?

b. What is most important to securing a conviction in a criminal investigation?

The EQ has to be more specific because one can say just evidence to secure a case, and there's not much to it. There has to be more to envelop the EQ.

c. What is most important in creating a hairstyle that best satisfies a customer.

This is a satisfactory EQ because there are multiple answers and multiple personalities one could go on to determine which hairstyle would prove to be the most detrimental to a customer.

d. How can an anesthesiologist best treat chronic pain?

The EQ needs to be more in detail because there are multiple types of chronic pain. Which one? Chronic back pain? Chronic back pain in whom? Children? The elderly?

My Draft EQ
