Walking in the rain?

Post by Rubadubdub »

Hi. Sorry if I may upset some peeps, but I do find it odd that one or two of you like to describe your experience of walking in the rain as something of a serious event? Raincoats and macs have been worn by the majority of the population for dozens and dozens of years. It is not weird, or perverted, to wear a raincoat, or anything else below or above. Thats why they are called that! Even if it may be a bit shiny, or rustling, nylon, pvc or god forbid rubbery. The vast majority of the population dont give a damn, what you wear, even moreso when its pissing down! The fact that you get great pleasure in doing it is a massive bonus. Thats why we are on here. Dont hide it, or be afraid of it. Man up, get your mac on, put your hood up and frigging well enjoy it.
A rather large dose of gin and tonic, followed by several ports. At my age I'm inclined to gob off this time of night. Sorry chums. Sweet dreams!

I do think irrational paranoia about what other people might think, becomes irrelevant as you get older. I dont really care anymore. Ive become selfish and self obsessed about what turns me on. Screw what any other complete stranger may, but probably may not think!

I think that a lot of our worries about wearing shiny rainwear dates back to our teenage years when we have to be seen to be wearing the "right" brands of trainers, jeans or whatever. We feel that we are being judged because of what we wear. In my case, when I was young back in the 1980's a long shiny mac was definitely "women's wear" and for years I would not have dared to buy one, let alone wear one in public, now I wear one out and nobody seems to give two hoots. It probably does look unusual, but one young woman working in a shop told me how much she liked it when she saw me wearing a long mac.

I find its easier walking in shiny rainwear, when i am dressed completely female. Still nerve racking at times, but it gets easier when i do it. Just do it as if you have every right to be there, and don`t worry what others think.

Fair points I would say but at the same time it’s simply not that easy for some people. In my 20s and 30s, cagoules were only really worn inside…. I was just too paranoid that someone would guess that I was turned on by wearing them. Silly I know but that was how I felt.
Once older (50s) I am less bothered but this isn’t the same for everyone, some people never get over that paranoia and that’s the reality for them - not always a case of ‘manning up’

I agree.
I do now wear my puddle suit out in the town and around my local shops ect.
And ofcourse in the bedroom.
I used to be shy to go outside. As I thought people would know I was kinky in rainwear ect.
Now I'm not bothered if they put two and two together. As I love dressing up in it to go out or stay in.
It's my fetish and I enjoy and love it .
Be brave and do what you enjoy.

Good evening, fellow "balaclava lovers."

It's true that with age, we become more independent.

Yet, despite being 64, I still hesitate a bit before going out wearing one of my magnificent shiny raincoats.

It's so nice to feel protected, though.
I pity those who don't share my passion for raincoats 🤗
