Is latex BDSM your ultimate fetish dream? Latex and BDSM fit together like a hand in latex glove.
Latex is a material made from rubber. When used for clothing, it gives a shiny and rubbery feeling that looks like a kind of plastic skin. Latex, along with leather, are aesthetics typical of fetish culture, kink, and BDSM.
Latex is a fetish on its own for many people, but latex BDSM is common in kink whether or not someone has a specific latex fetish.
Latex BDSM is everywhere if you are kinky. You will encounter latex at BDSM parties and dances, at fetish night events, in BDSM dungeons, or during a scene with your lover. Sex toy shops that cater to kink and BDSM play will have plenty of latex.
You’ve seen dominatrixes in head-to-toe latex in movies. You’ve had latex restraints wrapped around your ankles, or latex harnesses and leashes. You’ve admired couture fashion models on the runway or in music videos with a BDSM aesthetic, all wearing latex garments.
Black, tight, shiny, latex is practically inseparable from BDSM.
Why Is Latex Popular in BDSM?
Latex Is Like a Second Skin
Latex is tight, rubbery, and shiny. Most people who wear it or admire others wearing it comment on the fact that it fits like a second skin.
Latex follows the form and contours of the body, but with a kind of plastic sheen. Many people wearing it feel it connects them more deeply to their own body. Looking at others who are dressed in latex, the latex enhances or accentuates their body.
Some people report that they feel naked wearing latex, even though they are fully clothed.

Tight Latex Is a Form of Bondage
Most latex clothes are designed to be form fitting, like a second skin. Some are so tight that their fit is itself a form of bondage. Latex BDSM follows this feeling naturally.
Latex Is a Fetish for Some
Folks with a latex fetish report sexual excitement and pleasure from the latex fabric itself, and from wearing or watching someone wear the clothes, touching them, and even smelling them.

Latex Is Part of the BDSM Aesthetic
Fashion, film, television, and erotic literature all reflect fetish culture on occasion, and while there are a million ways to express your kink, there are certain “looks” that have come to symbolize and signal kink.
The BDSM and fetish community is constantly incorporating new ideas and interests into the way it defines itself and represents itself. But some aspects of kink are classic and long-lasting, including both leather and latex.

10 Types of Latex BDSM Play
1. Latex Hoods
BDSM latex hoods are shiny, tight-fitting headwear designed for blindfolding, humiliation and degradation, depersonalization, sensory deprivation, and more.
Latex hoods come in a variety of styles, the most basic being a simple black hood. Latex does not breathe, so most models have air holes at the nose or mouth. Some hoods have neck corsets or attachments for hardware, and some have eye holes like a luchador mask, and are worn at costume parties.
