Time for a fetish update, I think. There's an oddly fluid quality to most of my kinks, in that they seem to alter (in terms of emphasis) over time. Some become more focussed, others generalise; some, like the primary category of 'leather' are so overarching that they assume a sort of 'meta-kink' status.
Currently causing a trouser-commotion in the Grown-Up Juice Department:
Rubber - but, oddly enough, loose rubber, as opposed to the spray-on 'Skin Two' style (which is also fun, but higher-maintenance). Cold at first, a sweat soon builds, and the rubber clings to the skin then pulls away, clings and pulls away. I commissioned a heavy rubber suit from HOST which is smooth inside and out, and feels wonderful.
Bikers. Because I'm living in Vauxhall near a motorcycle training school, and see attractively leathered-up intructors and pupils on a daily basis. I'm even starting to find their wet-weather gear a turn-on...
Transmen (female-to-male transsexuals). This is an odd one; I still haven't quite worked out where exactly the appeal lies. It's not particularly the concept itself, and I don't think it's an issue of notional genitalia. I think I'm attracted to a particular variety of masculinity which certain transmen display. It's like they've spent so long fighting for that masculinity that they're now really happy with themselves. 'Happy masculinity' is really quite sexy.
Older straight men trying on leather in department stores. If I'm wandering around Selfridges or House of Fraser and there's a 'family man' type trying on leather coats and jackets, I find myself oddly mesmerised by the heady blend of arousal and extreme self-consciousness. They invariably make a show of zipping and unzipping, checking the pockets (because men, obviously, make purchases based on functional practicality rather than sex-appeal), then turning around and examining their own backsides in the mirror. Particularly nice if they've got an obvious stiffy.
Orchids. Orchids and lilies. Visiting Amsterdam's Bloemenmarkt was, for me, a sexual experience of near-Mapplethorpian proportions... |
