What is latex?

Latex is a natural, renewable material derived from the rubber tree. You can get latex catsuits, gloves, masks, underwear, you name it and it probably exists.

What is a latex fetish?

Latex fetish is a very common fetish, with its own active community. So, what exactly is a latex fetish? Well, a latex fetish is when a person either enjoys wearing latex or they are attracted to someone whose wearing latex. People can like the feel of latex on their skin, or the way that it makes them feel/look. Some people enjoy the tightness of the latex or it's a good expression of submission, domination or bondage. Certain people even find the smell of latex a turn on!

Why?

If you yourself do not have a latex fetish then you may be wondering why some people do. Sadly, due to annoying 'taboo's there is very minimal research into fetishes. But it seems as though the reason for a latex fetish really depends on the person. Here are some of the reasons that people have said why they have a latex fetish (but not limited to):

  1. Layer of protection

For some people, wearing latex can make them feel empowered, as it makes them feel protected and strong. Latex also covers up any scars, blemishes, which makes some people feel a lot more comfortable when it comes to body confidence and sex. In addition, wearing full-body latex can add an element of mystery and sexual empowerment, making you feel like a 'seductive character'.

  1. Another layer of skin

Wearing tight latex has often been linked to having another layer of skin, as latex is smooth and elastic like. Some people associate latex with skin, and view it as a strong and youthful skin. It represents the ideal skin, making people attracted to it.

  1. Intensifies

Some people who participate in latex fetish find that it intensifies sensations during sex. It can make you feel more sensitive adding extra stimulation. Apparently latex can also intensify temperature play.

Tips:
