Latex: Skin Too | Fetish in the BDSM Scene

My absolute favorite fetish! I just love latex. How much do I love it? I love it so much that I buy it in colors other than black! Purple, red, metallic green, electric blue, turquoise and white are always welcome additions, along with all the proper latex accessories such as gloves or gauntlets, corset or waist cincher, leggings, capes, coats, and best of all, a latex handbag. I got so tired of not having a proper purse to go with my latex outfits that I had one custom-made! A wonderful thing on many levels: I have a nice safe place to keep my stuff, I never lose it because it is attached to me, and perhaps most important, the way it elegantly hangs from my left wrist helps achieve the diva look I so love.

Latex can be a personal fetish as well as the obsession of a fetishist. As a latex fetishist, I would like to discuss it as a personal fetish first. I would rate my passion for latex and my passion for shoes side by side but I wouldn’t pul them in the same category. My passion for shoes is genetic (giggle, what a great excuse!) but my passion for latex is a real fetish. To wear it is to own it and wow! do I love to wear it. But there is much more to it than that.

After you get the latex on, what you hope to achieve is the “squish factor.” Attaining the squish factor is attaining a state of ecstacy, the highest state the personal latex fetishist can hope for. So, how does one attain the squish factor? Although the time required to attain it varies for each person, the end result is always the same. To get it, you need to get a good sweat going on inside. Your sweat, when combined with a liquid lubricant, makes a layer of water between the latex and you. A slick and slippery layer of water. This layer of water enables you to massage yourself through the garment, and to some degree move the garment up and down your body. If the room is warm enough to get the squish factor going, or else you have been dancing and working up a good sweat, this self-massage through the second skin of the latex feels absolutely incredible. I have no words to describe it. I know it doesn't sound thrilling because it is one of those things you have to experience to understand, but thrilling it is. Frisson after frisson hits you as you caress yourself through the second skin that is latex. Who would ever have guessed that you could have a great time standing alone in the corner? Latex even has its own aroma, and when you take it off, the smell of the latex still lingers on your skin.

The fetishist who wants to adore the latex fetish diva may have other latex interests as well. The mild latex fetishist may desire to polish your latex for you, whether it is on or off is up to you, but if he is your regular, go for while it is on your body! Then you will experience what I am unable to describe, the feeling of the squish factor, which is much more intense when another does it for you. Since you are at home, you can make the room warm enough and because he is naked, he will be comfortable enough. Or else he can suffer on your behalf. Make sure you have plenty of water or juice close at hand, especially since you will need to replenish all that water you will be sweating out.

When he polishes your latex, he should do it as if he is giving you a good massage; none of this slopping il on crap, the way men are prone to do. I no longer powder my latex (ugh! What a mess that was). Now I prefer a liquid product line which has a lubricant and a conditioner. Use it on the inside of the garment when you store it or before you put it on, and just a few drops applied by hand on the outside will shine up many latex ball gowns for many months. The liquid lubricant is a great new addition to the squish factor. No more doughy mess on the inside of your garment or stuck to your skin in little clumps. It even moisturizes your skin as you wear the garment. So you should have the lubricant on the inside for your benefit, and on the outside as your shining agent. His polishing technique should be like a good massage, hold on to something to keep your balance, use his hair if you have to, but make him really go at it. If he is enough of a latex fetishist, he will understand and appreciate what the squish factor means to you and strive like hell to do his part in achieving it for you.

The hardcore latex fetishist, the rubberist, is more interested in latex for himself than he is in latex for you. He may like to see you in it but what he really wants is to be encased in latex himself. Once inside the latex, he may want a scene ranging from light to heavy, or he may just want to watch a football game in it. To the true rubberist, just feeling the latex against his skin and anticipating the squish factor can be a scene. For those who want to play, scenes can include inescapable bondage, golden showers, sensor deprivation, sensation, suspension, and other aspects, all the while encased in latex.

For the latex fetishist who is deeper into it than just shining and sniffing it, and admiring the woman in it, there is a plethora of toys out there for you to play with, all depending on your budget. Traditional latex hoods, strait-jackets, noninflatable body bags, gags, and the like are still popular, but the fascination with inflatables is growing. Inflatable latex is the latest kinky trend and this aspect also merges with sensor deprivation and isolation. All types of inflatable latex toys are available on the market: from the small but very interesting inflatable dildos and butt plugs to fully inflatable body suits, from inflatable gags to “sucky beds,” and lots of things in between.
