What is it about latex & rubber?

I completely understand that the sight of gloves is associated in my mind immediately with penetration by fingers, but I don’t really get why latex/rubber in general is erotic. Not that it matters. Just curious. 😉

Forgot to say....... I am aroused by the sight and feel of latex. I just wondered why. Gloves ...that's literal... but sheets, clothing..... not sure. Maybe it's that latex is a material that comes very close to the feel of skin..(wet, shiny, especially) ... but the smell is definitely medically associative.

Actually, my partner, who is a little bit older than I, has a bit of a latex/rubber fetish. He chalks it up to some of the surfaces he was placed on as a toddler/young child to be changed, bathed, etc. That would certainly qualify as some of those early formative experiences that might lead a person to develop a fetish later on in life.

I share that love of latex however it really does not overlap with my MedFet interests. I hold medical latex such as gloves in a different category than latex clothing. For me latex nurses uniforms don't really do it because I am into realism - Nurses can wear traditional whites or scrubs, but definitely not latex.

Outside of the exam room I'm not a Sub either, but I find the Gothic look of a Dominatrix incredibly hot. When it comes to Dom gear like corsets and crotch-high boots, there is nothing to compare to quality latex. It magically smooths bumps and ripples, and indeed does feel like a second skin which is warm to the touch. When its polished properly it is as slippery as you can get without swimming in oil.

Unfortunately its also a pain in the ass. Even quality heavy gauge latex is delicate so you need to treat it gently and be very careful with things like long fingernails. Any type of oil is an absolute No-No as it will destroy the latex by turning it into a sticky mess. The person who wears it will need to powder themselves like a snowman before squeezing into it. Then you need to clean the powder from the outside and shine it with an expensive silicone polish. Looks hot! And it is, like a sauna. By the time you get it polished your Dom will be ready to peel out of it. The things we do for love....

Absolute Danny in Amsterdam is the best shop I have seen but you can spend some serious money very quickly. They are great about allowing you to try things on, so if you are ever in Amsterdam take your Dom for a visit.

I think the fact that its something that comes out of an un natural process makes it intriguing to curious people. You don't find sheets of latex in nature, pure ,shiny, and solid colors.

For me its the way the latex or rubber takes the shape of the nurse...very sexy..nothing to hide...

My interest in latex comes from teen years in the 1960s. Girl friend and Playtex rubber girdles.

Latex and rubber gloves and aprons are just great!!! the feeling... the smell... the taste... everything about latex and rubber is very very sexy for me

Latex and rubber are huge turn one. We use latex gloves of all kinds, and recently purchased multiple latex surgical masks with ear loops. We will next purchase some with tie ons. Breathing in the latex smell while wearing a mask is so intoxicating!

Lifelong rubber fetish here from at least the age of 7 though I didn't figure out that it was actually an erotic sexual fetish until about age 15. All the features alluded to here earlier, look, feel, stretch, smell and even taste are all essential to the powerful appeal of rubber and latex. In my hands, or more accurately in my sensory experience, the odor or aroma or smell of the rubber picked for the fetish is the most powerful and arousing. PVC, plastic or other shiny materials ate to me essentially totally non-erotic and unappealing. It needs to be rubber or latex.

For me, this usually includes latex catsuit, hoods and gloves, neoprene wetsuits and exercise suits and rubber sneakers like Keds or Converse, all worn frequently together to help stimulate orgasms.

I have had a love of rubber and latex for a long time though I honestly have no idea why. I just find it arousing. I love the black rubber anesthesia masks and they require a good rubber harness to keep them in place. I also have a nice soft black rubber scrotum pouch that gives a nice pleasant squeezing sensation on the testicles when using in conjunction with a soft rubber penis ring.

I did purchase a pair of latex underpants with an integrated penis sheath on AliExpress but I find them not to be as exciting as I thought they might be. Even with ample corn starch, they have a habit of pulling on hair (I am not going to be shaving my genital area any time soon. I did that once as a young teenager out of curiosity and the period during which the hair started growing back was like having steel wool in my pants - no thanks). Also I find them to become very sweaty except on the coldest of winter days.

All my regular pants are vinyl or PUL .

My "good" pants are rubber bloomers , diapers leak thats what they do ,rubber bloomers are a leakd greatest fear ,because your not escaping you will get absorbed by the inside or outside of my diaper, the crotch easily hold a half gallon independent of the diaper , then again if it were to escape its not a bif deal both my wheelchair cusgion and my new mattress are encased in rubber to protect it,should i fail to.
