A fetish centered on latex clothing and the sensations it creates, from the tight second-skin fit to the glossy, reflective surface. People drawn to it often find the material itself as arousing as the person wearing it.
Latex is demanding to wear: it has to be shined, talced or lubed to get on, and peeled off carefully, so the ritual of dressing becomes part of the appeal. The look ranges from sleek catsuits and hoods to full enclosure, and the sensory feedback of stretch, pressure, and shine is usually as important as the visual.
Worth knowing: Latex traps heat and restricts airflow, so wearers need to watch for overheating, fainting, and allergic reactions, take breaks, and have an easy way to signal distress or get out quickly.
Also called: rubber fetish, rubberist, latex catsuit, latex hood, rubber bondage, shiny fetish, vacbed
