Fetish: dressing for sex

Previous threads on the subject of fetish have either focussed specifically on fetish clubs or widened the definition to a generalised 'things I like'. When we talk 'kink' we're a little closer to the classical definition, but not much.

So... this forum seems a good place to discuss clothing fetishes. Strictly speaking, a true fetishist would be unable to experience sexual pleasure without the fetish object being present (either physically or in fantasy form). Since this degree of fetishism is relatively rare (and admitting to it is doubtless even rarer), I suggest we use a looser definition: 'stuff that makes sex more pleasurable'.

My own fetishes are laid out in one of the above threads. I like leather gear, boots and, to a lesser extent, rubber, pvc, etc. Conventional wisdom holds that male sexuality is more likely than female to extend to such elaborations. Carrie Bradshaw may love her Manolos, but she takes 'em off for sex.

What do you put on for sex?

Thigh high stripey socks. They make me feel like a sex pixie. And they keep my feet warm.

Seriously? Sock fetishism seems to be surprisingly big amongst gay men online - particularly sports socks - but I've never really come across a sock-lovin' woman...

Socks on others (well, I only have one other) are unacceptable to me. Ordinary socks are no fun, it's just this particular pair of black and white striped socks. Actual sexy victoria's secret style lingerie makes me feel weird and stiff, but the socks make me feel free and full of mischief. Frisky, if you will. It's a little thing which makes me feel unselfconscious.

The success of Victoria's Secret, Ann Summers, etc. shows how certain fetishes go mainstream - and perhaps also lend weight to the assertion that the fetish market is predominantly (not universally, by any means, but predominantly) male.

I used to get incredibly horny when I wore an old pair of denim dungarees I kept for decorating - I always wore them with nothing else and after mixing up a bucket of paste and hanging a couple of rolls I was always really razzed up. Must be the hillbilly in me.

Boots! Knee-high and high-heeled. Although a corset at some point needs to be taken off to allow heavy breathing, wearing one during foreplay is the funnest. Also thigh-high stockings and garters.

Mmmm... dungarees. Going commando in 'em, there's that weird feeling of 'dressed but naked' - and also the rather pleasant sensual tug on one's perineum with every upward movement.

Niiice...

Thigh high stockings have done it for me as long as I can remember. It doesn't matter if there is a garter belt involved or not, as long as there are thigh highs.

Short, lightweight, flowered sundresses are another thing I find damn near irresistable. You put a young woman in one of those and I am on it!

One last thing, Overalls. I don't know what it is about them, but women in overalls are just incredibly sexy.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with Mazarine- Long stripey socks are fucking fantastic. I think I must have worn them during sex at some point..Oh fucking hell. Thats just dawned on me exactly where my black and white thigh high socks must be. Hmph. I'll never be getting those back then.

Steelwelder, old thing, I think the idea is to talk about what you like to wear for sex, not what you like other people to wear... if I have misinterpreted your post and you yourself like to wear stockings, floral dresses and dungarees, then more power to your elbow, of course, and my apologies.

Well Kit-Cat Club, I suppose I was a bit off topic, my apologies. That was more about what I like for other people to wear than what I wear myself. There have been a few odd occasions, but they usually involved copious amounts of alcohol and someone laughing uproariously.
