There’s a new summer accessory heating up pool parties — and no, it’s not a thong bikini or a margarita slushie.
It’s a beach ball. And it’s making people very hot under the inflatable collar.
According to a new report by adult video platform Clips4Sale, summer is turning up the temperature on some steamy — and very specific — kinks, including a 46.85% surge in content featuring people blowing up beach balls.
Yes, that’s what people are watching — hopefully behind closed cabana doors.
“We often think of summer as a slow season for adult content because people are out of the house more,” a representative for the sexy site wrote.
“But summer also awakens these specific, beachy fetishes that lie dormant the rest of the year,” they explained.
Turns out, while you’re worrying about avoiding sunburn and getting bikini waxes, someone out there is sexually fixated on scuba gear — up 37.44% — or obsessed with pool floaties.
Even sweat is getting its turn in the sun, with views of glistening, sticky clips spiking nearly 18%.
Swimming content alone skyrocketed by 189.72% — because nothing says “summer fling” like synchronized splashing and a strategically unzipped wetsuit.
And this isn’t just a seasonal slip — it’s part of a growing national trend toward boutique kinks.
Back in February, Clips4Sale published its annual United States of Fetish report — revealing that Americans’ horniest habits are both highly regional and off-the-wall.
When entering 2025, the data showed “several converging trends,” the site’s Avery Martin said at the time.
“We’ve seen tremendous growth not only in giantess and vore fantasies, but also chastity, ballbusting and pegging,” they revealed.
That’s right — the most popular fetish nationwide is the giantess fantasy, or getting hot and bothered over towering women who could crush you like a Capri Sun.
New Yorkers in particular can’t get enough of it, along with citizens of New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, D.C., and Arizona.
Martin explained the phenomenon: “While there’s a public resurgence of masculine energy, privately men are fantasizing about powerful women. It may be alphas in the streets, but it’s beta in the sheets.”
Close behind was vore — the fantasy of being eaten or doing the eating — which overtook giantess in places like California and Nevada.
The South, meanwhile, keeps it light with a thirst for “tickling” and “wrestling,” while Utah’s top search? Balloons. We’ll leave that one alone.
“Part of the explanation may lie in volume,” Martin added. “The number of searches nearly doubled in the past year. Americans are increasingly open to exploring fetish, and states are finding their freak.”
From pedal-pumping in Mississippi to testicle torture (aka “ballbusting”) in Connecticut, it’s clear: this summer, kink is a contact sport — and your average beach day just got a lot more blown up.
So if you catch someone side-eyeing your pool floatie a little too long, don’t be surprised. It’s not just summer love — it’s summer lust.
