Inspired by a group post on FetLife written by LeatherGuardian. Leather is so beautiful in all of it's forms that no matter what, it can overtake a true lover or fetishist. But what about when it is so overwhelming, it puts your mind in a new space. A space that when you first are taken there, it feels like such a wonderful high and everytime afterwards, the high needs more. You need the touch of a leather glove on your face, the smell of a jacket, the feel of a pair of leather pants squeezing your loins, the tightness of a leather skirt on your bottom or the tight encasement of a hood to heighten the senses that can still experience the leather. Leather can be intoxicating on when you are alone and it can be very persuasive and hypnotizing when worn by others. When worn by others who are attractive to you (physically, mentally or otherwise), the pull is strong but other factors allow you to be drawn in and depending on the person and the relationship, you will feel strongly about doing their bidding.
What happens when that thing which makes you so weak, so amenable to give in to your most base feelings is worn by someone that you don't find as attractive? Is the pull to that person as strong? Maybe the feelings toward the leather aren't as strong and thus there will be no true attraction and interaction, Maybe, that person wears the leather for attention, to get what they may want. So maybe the fetishist is being drawn into a trap, a delightful trap to indulge in their fetish. I find that indulging in my fetish alone these days still has as much appeal as when I indulged in it with others. The interactions were few and far between (I am sure there are plenty of female leatherists out there but I never could get any response from them) but the intensity was much greater and the control that the leather had over me was a bit scary thinking about it afterwards. It's as if I was not only a slave to a Mistress, but I was a slave to the leather. No outfit make a dominatrix, every style of domination is different. Thus, every slave's need is different and can be met by a domme if you do your due diligence. But for me, I was a slave to her first and then a servant to her leather clad desires.
Wearing leather and giving in to it, allowing it to be an outlet for my desires is a form of how leather can control one's thoughts and inhibitions. It is easy, as I mentioned when others who you like, want to be with, serve for the leather to be hypnotic and draw you to them for whatever purpose. Seeing lots of leather pics on twitter is another outlet but more and more I see celebrities wearing leather (a lot like the 80's and it's kind of cool) and there are some celebrities that I respect for their work and how they look and plenty that I can't stand (lack of talent etc) but their look is unquestionably hot, what can I do? I'm clearly attracted to them but maybe for the wrong reasons! But in real life, this is also applicable. You can be attracted to the leather but maybe they don't understand why or think you are some kind of freak. The latter comes from the misperception of fetishes and how they intersect in the world of BDSM. Most folks have a fetish and have never been in or near a BDSM scene, but society looks down upon them because an object or wearing certain clothing turns them into a more sexualized being. I don't think that could ever be a bad thing. We should all embrace our sexual beings and respect those of others. As long as what you are doing doesn't hurt others, disrespect their personhood or infringes on their rights to be, I say indulge. For years, leather has been something that I have loved and still do to this day. That love has intensified and now I can say that leather catches my eye all the time and it truly has changed the way I see things, myself and those around me who wear it.
