Rubber Sexby Rachel Kramer Bussel |
From backcover:
“The first time I tried on a latex dress, I couldn't stop feeling myself up. After being generously shined to a high gloss, the gorgeous red dress gleamed -- and so did I. It clung to my body in a way that let me see my curves anew, and any extra flesh I'd lamented suddenly became more fodder for the voluptuous material to caress. It was way better than being naked. I felt divine, trapped inside this sleek, erotic cave. I never wanted to get out...”
--Rachel Kramer Bussel, from the introductionPowerful dommes in catsuits, luscious women in latex, hunky men showing off every straining inch in tight PVC... In Rubber Sex, Rachel Kramer Bussel showcases a world where skin gets slipped on tightly, then polished, stroked, and caressed -- while the bodies inside heat up with lust. Find out why rubber adds an irresistible frisson to any erotic adventure.
“An inspiring array of dirty stories. From one story to the next. you are free to luxuriate in the embrace of shiny rubber, in fetish fantasies that will make you weak in the knees.”
-- Christine Kessler, author of Pervy Girls: Erotic Fashion PhotographyReview written by Daemon Grendl
This is a wonderful collection of short stories that revolve around rubber and latex, although not always latex garments. Some of the stories are lesbian and a couple are homosexual but most are heterosexual. Overall, I would describe them as written for women since the stories are more romantic that sexual, but they were very enjoyable and I recommend reading this book to all.
Latex is a very kinky material. It's impossible to disguise it as anything but the stuff naughty people wear. One cannot wear it without attracting attention. These stories are mostly about average people being transformed when they wear latex: By putting on an unusual material they are able to explore feeling and desires they wouldn't normally try. It gives them the freedom or permission to expand themselves and explore new territory. It's fun and exciting to explore new territory through these stories.
I especially liked the story by Alison Tyler called Rubber Necking. A woman passes a lingerie store on her way to work every day and regularly admires the window mannequin in latex. One day she's involved in a car accident in front the store when she's distracted by the window display. After the accident she gets to meet the store owner and a closer inspection of the clothing follows. A very romantic story.
There are a few strange stories about rubber fetishes that don't really involve clothing, just the material and how it affects a couple of true fetishists. These stores are both hot and mind blowing. I won't go into detail but am reminded that the word “fetish” still means “a sexual obsession with an object” not just a description of naughty fashion.
There are stories by Shanna Germain, Alison Tyler, Radclyffe, Jean Roberta, Teresa Noelle Roberts, Rakelle Valencia, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Tenille Brown, and Thomas Roche, many well-known erotica writers.
