From leather fetish to rubber fetish and everything in between, don’t be scared to try something new as it might be a huge turn on… again and again!
Fetish: [fet-ish, fee-tish] noun: Psychology. Any object or non-genital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation.
Do you love the feel of leather or rubber? Then you might have a leather or rubber fetish. Does the thought of a light spanking get your cheeks glowing? Boys in trackie bottoms give you a tingle in the trouser department? Well, then, you sir have a fetish! And there’s no better place to indulge in those kinks, quirks and specialist interests than Gay Londontown. Here’s our round-up of the most popular sexual fetishes, and where you can go to meet other like-minded lads…
Leather fetish
Leather fetishism is one of the most popular on our fair scene and is, obviously, an attraction to people wearing leather and or to the garments themselves. The smell, feel and even sound leather is often an erotic stimulus and there are a number of devoted leather clubs, events and parties in pretty much every corner of the globe. Best event: Brew Hunter hosts his famous leather fetish night Hunter at Electrowerkz, roughly once a month or so.
Sportswear
Got a thing for footballers bouncing their balls in tight shorts? A lust for rugger buggers, gym bunnies or the very thought of Henman Hill get you hard? Too much Grandstand on telly as a child, maybe!
Rubber fetish
Incorporating latex, rubber and PVC fetishism, PVC and latex are actually very different materials but are still closely associated. From skin-tight material items such as catsuits, trousers, shorts, vests and underwear to other accoutrements like masks, hoods, boots, rubber gloves and more, rubber is hugely popular both in the clubs and in the bedroom, and you won’t have to travel too far to meet other rubberists.
Scally
Boys from council estates in trackies, trainers, T-shirts and caps, how many of us haven’t had a lingering glance at a group of lads and their bulging jogging bottoms! Fuck your girlfriends, fellas, you could get a much better blowjob right here!
Watersports
Golden showers… do we need to say anymore?
Suits
Does the thought of the fellas over in the City or the lads at Canary Wharf in their crisp shirts, polished shoes and bulging suit trousers really make you want to get down to business? Confidence, power and masculinity; there are few things sexier than a good-looking man in a smart suit.
Nudity
Don’t want to be restricted by clothes? There are plenty of places to swing freely around Londontown. For some it’s a sexual fetish, for others it’s simply a liberating and social experience, so whether you’re naturist or just plain naughty – get stuck in! Vault 139 host regular naked nights throughout the week. Sweatbox Sauna in Soho also hosts special naked party nights and a clothing optional gym.
Cross Dressing fetish
Cross dressing has existed throughout much of human history, be it for fun, entertainment, lifestyle or sexual pleasure. We’re largely focusing on the latter here, but there are a number of social events in London where men, both gay and straight, head to socialise and/or get steamy with a variety of ‘ladies’, both gay and straight. There are several welcoming events for cross dressers at both Zodiac Bar in North London, Teds Local night at Ted’s Place in West London. There’s a cross dressers women’s undies night at Bunker Bar, called Wearing Hers.
Wrestling
Do you love to see fellas in tight fitting spandex singlets rolling around on the mat at a wrestling match? Simultaneously a display of machismo and homoeroticism, don’t get us started on the jockstraps, briefs and bulging muscles and packages that lie beneath the wrestling outfit!
Underwear fetish
Bulging boys in briefs, hot cocks in jocks or rocking it in boxers, some people experience sexual excitement from wearing certain types of underwear or watching someone else modelling a sexy pair of Aussiebums. How many of us haven’t thought that, sometimes, what lies beneath the package can be even more exciting than the full frontal meat and two veg dangling in front of your visage? There are regular underwear nights in Central London at Vault 139.
BDSM
The term BDSM is a condensed acronym to combine communities and practices that had a significant amount of crossover, such as bondage and discipline (B&D or B/D), dominance and submission (D&S or D/s) and sadomasochism (S&M). It may include the consensual use of restraint, sensory stimulation or fantasy roleplay and power play, often with a dominant and submissive partner. Club CP is one of the longest established.
FEET
Many say they don’t like feet, but did you know that foot love is the most popular form of fetishism for otherwise non-sexual objects or body parts? From a mere admiration of a partners bare feet to full-on, toe sucking, foot licking worship, it seems plenty of people are doing it… even if not that many are talking about it! There’s a foot fetish night at Bunker Bar.
