Many people enjoy sexual acts where latex plays a leading role. On some occasions, the pleasure comes from feeling that equipment on the skin when one is wearing it , and, on other occasions, from seeing and touching the couple thus dressed . But it can also be exciting simply to interact with objects, underwear or accessories – hats, whips, masks, etc. – made with this elastic material of plant origin without the need for another person to be involved.
It is often used by the fetishist in the context of BDSM sexuality, an English acronym that combines practices such as discipline or bondage , consisting of immobilizing with ropes or bandages. The so-called rubberistas –which comes from the word rubber , 'rubber' in English– associate a certain aesthetic with consensual sadomasochistic pleasures . Pain and submission are linked to an environment and a specific way of dressing. It is, for example, what happens with many dominatrix , women who adopt a dominant role in submission games.
There are several reasons for latex to be successful in these circumstances. One of them is its adherence: for fetishists, it constitutes a kind of second skin . In a way it is like armor that allows them to feel differently and be protected at the same time. On the other hand, the adjustment of the garments exerts constant pressure that keeps the senses alert . Thus, the individual perceives that his mind is revived and remains awake to enter a different erotic world.
