Rubber

Rubber, also known as latex fetishism, is a kink centered on the look, feel, smell, and sensation of rubber or latex clothing. The material clings tightly to the skin, and enthusiasts enjoy everything from gloves and hoods to full-body suits. Within LGBTQ+ and kink communities, particularly among gay and bisexual men, rubber is one of the most fetishized materials and has its own subculture with clubs, dress codes, and events. It overlaps with the broader leather scene, and rubber fans often gather at fetish gatherings like Folsom Street Fair and Leather Pride events. As with all kink, participation rests on consent and shared understanding.
