Latex
Latex clothing is often associated with the BDSM lifestyle and contains a high fetish value. The terms PVC and vinyl are often used in regards to latex but all are basically a form of fabric coated in plastic. As a fetish, latex gained popularity in the 1970 when the first latex boots were made. This quickly led to many different types of latex fashion which continue to evolve. There are cat suits, latex pants, skirts, bras, boots, headwear, and more. The attraction to latex has to do with its skin-like properties. It is so tight on the body that one can see the wearer’s entire body frame though it is still covered. For this reason, many exhibitionists enjoy wearing latex in public in order to legally cause sexual arousal in others.
For people into latex as a fetish, one of the largest groups of BDSM practitioners can be found at Alt.com dating. Because latex is associated with the BDSM lifestyle, many of the Alt.com members wear the various types of latex clothing. Some of the extreme latex fetishists at Alt.com have even begun to create their own costumes from the material.
