A fetish in which gloves, typically made of leather, latex, rubber, or other smooth materials, are the central source of sexual arousal or focus. The interest often centers on the look, texture, smell, or the act of wearing or being touched by gloved hands.
For many people into this, the appeal is the combination of texture and power: a gloved hand can feel clinical, dominant, or luxurious all at once. It frequently appears alongside other material fetishes like latex or leather, and the specific type of glove, such as opera length, medical, or driving, often matters as much as the glove itself.
Worth knowing: If gloves are worn during play, check for material allergies such as latex sensitivity and keep them clean, since shared or unwashed gloves can irritate skin or spread bacteria.
Also called: latex gloves, leather gloves, rubber gloves, medical gloves, opera gloves, satin gloves, PVC gloves, glove worship, gloved hand fetish, hand fetish
