What's a fetish?

I recently got this question from an ex-girlfriend. I was pretty surprised she asked now because I had tried my best through the years together, to explain the ideology behind fetishm and bdsm in general. Also because at the time she claimed my fetishm was one of the main reason for our breakup.

Okay enough about that, what's a fetish anyway ?
In my case, I have always been aroused with some types of pvc raingear and latex clothes. So by definition that would be my fetish. There's a huge array of fetishes out there and to name a few:

Clothes, material/style:
Uniform fetish (schoolgirl, French maid, nurse, cop), shoe fetishm, jeans fetishm, leather/latex.

Body parts:
Breast fetish, foot fetishm, hair fetishm, hand fetishm, buttocks fetishm.

These are just a few examples of common fetishes. I often wonder why some fetishes are more so "accepted" by the general public than others ? Such as a nurse.. it seems perfectly "legitimate" to fantasize about a girl dressed as a nurse. But when the fantasy evolves about her being in a gasmask, high heels and wearing a leather whip. That's considered kinky and somewhat out of the "norm". I do hope the general public will accept fetishm in general and make no discrimination between fetishes.

Hopefully will blogs like this, public fetish events such as Skin Two's Rubber Ball will help educate people and help us feel less "alone".

Libidex rubber catsuit

I was in London the other day on a short visit. I took the opportunity to pre-order a catsuit and hood. I decided to go for made-to-measure catsuit.

After reading alot of reviews I decided to go for a Libidex catsuit and a seperate hood. The order was quite costly, about $700. I managed to save the postal cost and customs by picking up my order at their shop in London, which was very convienent.

After getting back home to Iceland I tried the suit out, I was pretty excited to see the fit of the suit. There's only one word needed for the making of the suit and the fit.. "perfection!"

When in London I tried out my new hood and it was like the suit, just a perfect fit. And it's so wonderfully designed. I went to a quite few fetish shops in London but no one could really match the Libidex hood.

All in all I am really happy with my new purchase and look forward to countless hours of rubbery fun :)
