Why is our fetish so unacceptable?

[Kinky-In-Scotland]

Allow me to give some background information here, I'm in my 50's, I've had a passion for PVC and rubber in the form of rainsuits, wellies, waders, hazmat suits etc, you get the picture... I'm single, have been since my former parnter and I separated 11 years ago, since then I've "dedicated" myself to my passion for protective clothing and amassed a sizable collection. I will admit that at my time of life and given my background circumstances, it's highly unlikely I'm going to find a life partner. With that said, I am more than happy with who I am and the situation I find myself in, I am no stranger to the world of escoting, I have had a few encounters with women who have been happy to dress in PVC outfits and thigh boots whilt we had sex. But here's my point for posting this, why oh why is it ok for a woman to wear some fake PU version of PVC to excite a man but when a man wears some real PVC all of a sudden he's some kind of perverse weirdo?

I have no shame at all, I am confident in who I am and wht I like, I am a PVC and rubber fetishist, always have been and always will be, my problem is, why does society consider me weird when PVC and latex clad women spanking somebody then riding a man seem so normal nowadys?. A few weeks ago, I had an appointment with an escort I'd seen a few times, we got talking and I mentioned to her that I had a 'thing' for PVC and I asked if I could bring one of my outfits with me the next time we met to which she agreed. So the next time we met I took along my PVC coverall, royal blue and completely unlined, she went away to stash the money and I laid on the bed, when she returned I was met with a fit of giggles, totally humiliating, I didn't know what to do, I'll give the lass credit, she could see I was feeling uneasey and said sorry. my coverall wasn't what she was expecting and once that initial surprise was over, the rest of my time went exactly as planned.

So, I guess the point of my story is this, why is it OK for women to dress in PVC and rubber and not men? Why is it that every time you mention PVC or rubber everyone instantly thinks of BDSM?, Why are us rainwear fetishists being marginalised even further?

Depends where you live I suppose. I live in a very rural area and nobody takes any notice of what people wear in the rain as we are all getting on with life. The only comment I have had was from a stranger in a car who said "I see you are enjoying the rain", hardly earth shattering. As regards Dundee, I would be perfectly happy wearing a Mackintosh, Hancock or Cordings rubberised mackintosh across the city on any dull or wet day. Don what you like and just enjoy it, life is too short to worry about detractors. Mack on !

This is pretty much the same for me, for many years I was too self-conscious to wear a long shiny mac out in public but I've been wearing one out for about 4 years now, if it is raining no-one takes much notice. As long as I don't do anything that people would find offensive there is nothing much to worry about. I've been out gardening in the heavy rain today and enjoyed myself.

Fashion darling! When a woman dresses in PVC it is for fashion, when a man does it is for practical purposes or seen as dirty as you say. Men can get away with it if they are handsome and the shiny item is incidental to a complete look, like faux leather trousers with a white shirt in a club. It is also fine for overly gay men. The hypocrisy is that the more attractive the woman, or handsome the man, the more acceptable outlandish clothing (of any sort not just PVC or rubber) is. We are basically shallow and most men as they age don’t look like George Clooney so they are perceived as perverts if they don’t conform to a strict drab and dull dress code. My own desire to dress as a woman is partly because their clothing is better cut and more stylish and partly because it is strangely more acceptable to dress in PVC as a cross-dresser than a plain middle-aged (ahem!) man.

It's never too late to find a life partner, I'm in my 50s and am in a long term loving relationship, been together nearly 18 months and we both like dressing up in PVC for sex. Not every time just when the mood takes us

I suspect that you will get far fewer negative comments than you expect, but I depends on the overall look of your outfit. If it is raining and you are wearing a mac then I doubt you will get even a sideways look. But if it is bright sunshine, or you were wearing a shiny PVC miniskirt then I think you might get some stick!

I headed out to run errands in steady rain a couple of days ago, and wore my translucent black raincoat. A big patch of blue sky came by just as I got to the barber shop, and my (female) barber loved it; when i was ready to go she hurriedly lifted it off the hanger and handed it to me. I got a couple of good comments other stops too. I'm not sure how unacceptable it is to wear a plastic raincoat....

i think, this is still a cultural thing.

in the past it was expected from woman to be beautiful, to be a sweet candy for the man

the man was expected to be the strong part: the man with stone washed yeans and durable boots that walked 5000 kilometres through the desert and then rides a horse through the sand storm did not had to be beautiful, the man had to be hard.

this old and nowadays obsolete roles still seems to decide how someone is seen:
woman wear shiny things through decades: shiny stilletos, ballerinas and high heals, carrying shiny handbags and the man was expected to wear yeans, to be strong

and this seems to not fully left the minds.

most "normal" people only know the sex reports of the private tv from dominatrixes and sm studios and 50 shades of grey but have no clue about all the facettes of fetish that really exist.

they associate a man in shiny dresses either as an sm fan or as gay
they do not realize that a man can be heterosexual, not intreseted in sm but likes the feel and look of pvc and latex on his skin

in big cities, the people normally do not recognize unusual dresses as it appears more often there:

in stuttgart on the train station there are walking female sex workers in shiny pvc, guys from the comic con in anime and superhero costumes costumes, middle-aged fans of folklore singers like dieter thomas kuhn in hippie dresses,

gothics in shiny leather outfits, punks and so on.

if you are dressed unusual here, nobody recognoces, its "normal"

if you are outside in a small town, the poeple most time do not see someone dressed unusual. if someone dressed unusual there, he/she/x will be recognized.
