Latex Fetish: Slippery, Shiny, and Tight

Latex is a popular material for BDSM wear and kinky lingerie. And for some, the feeling or look of latex becomes a fetish.

A latex fetish is typically the attraction to people wearing latex, or to wearing latex oneself.

Different Types of Latex Fetish

There are many different qualities that people might appreciate about latex, and many different things they may like to do with the stretchy material.

Latex Fetish Wear

Some latex lovers may love to just wear garments made of this material. Getting dressed up into a latex outfit is a kind of personal transformation. It’s a way of taking on a new personality.

Latex can be like a second skin. A very shiny second skin. You can enhance and at the same time conceal your sexuality by covering yourself, yet having all your curves and bumps totally visible.

Some people go for bright colors, which can be fun and sexy, but the real go-to shades are red, and more importantly, black.

A woman who gets into black latex can instantly go from mild-mannered to dominatrix. The latex costume and its vicious sexiness can make her feel like she radiates sexual power. Men will grovel and beg at her feet. They will lick her boots just to have her smile at them, or whip them across the ass, more likely!

Men, meanwhile, used to being dominant in their normal lives, may enjoy the helplessness of being in a costume that somehow restricts them. Their face is covered, their cocks are wrapped up, and they are somehow chained in a way that immobilizes them. The coverage of the tight costume allows them to drop the real world, and have the stimulus needed to get into the play of helplessness and humiliation.

Other latex or rubber aficionados might get off on seeing their partners adorned in the material, but not necessarily wearing it themselves.

Latex Fetish Gear

The latex fetish is an expansive one and depending on the quality of your custom gear it can also become an expensive one.

There are many stores, both online and off that offer latex gear. You can find everything from latex panties to full bodysuits. The manufacturers range from mass-produced gear that is a bit more affordable to custom-made latex garments that will take a bigger bite from your wallet. Some latex wear is made for you and your lover’s eyes only while other garments can be worn out in public without garnering much attention.

It doesn’t stop with BDSM, though. Some people get into wet suits, hazmat suits, rubber medical uniforms, and even body bags. You can make a hell of a sticky mess when you’re using latex sheets, and still have an easy cleanup.

Latex Encasement

Some people who are really into the latex kink want to be encased in latex, which means they love being covered in it from head to toe.

For these kinksters, there are latex gloves of varying lengths, latex stockings, and latex hoods that enclose the face with optional eye and mouth holes. Dominatrixes and Masters often choose to dress in black latex because it is sexy, yet powerful looking.

For those into total latex encasement, there are also latex sleep sacks. These are sacks with sleeves attached to the side that closely encase the body and make the wearer helpless. Their arms are effectively restrained, their legs are pushed together, and their face is covered with a full hood.

Many sleep sacks close with zippers that can be padlocked for extra submissive and helpless feelings. Some people who love latex also love it when it is inflated, or when all the air is suctioned out of it.

Latex Fetish vs Leather and PVC

Leather, latex, and PVC all have similar fetishists attached to them—especially if you’re talking about their use in BDSM. These materials all look slightly different and have unique properties, so different people get attracted to each. 

For example, PVC can be very shiny and look wet when it’s worn. Some people find that sexy, but don’t get into the slightly duller properties of leather and latex. It’s really all about what gets your juices flowing when you’re exposed to it.
