Gloves Fetish

Glove fetishism is a specific clothing fetish where an individual is attracted to, and stimulated by the sight of another person, or themselves, wearing gloves on their hands. The potency of the fetish can be enhanced by the material that the glove is made from: leather, cotton, latex, PVC, satin or nylon.

In gloves fetish, the actions of a gloved hand can be just as arousing as the glove itself. This can be explained by the material of the glove becoming a fetishistic “stand-in” for the skin of the wearer. Even the smallest, subtlest movements by gloved fingers-or of the whole hand-can represent a source of tremendous visual and sound stimulus.

The act of putting gloves on, or slipping them off the hands, can also be the fulfilment of a profound glove fetish fantasy and some fetishists also specify certain lengths, for example the long opera-style or short cuff-length form. Sometimes fetishists integrate gloves into preferred fantasy outfits like those worn by nurses, policewomen or French maids.

Some individuals go as far as using gloves on themselves or others as a form of sexual stimulation. Thin latex medical gloves are most commonly used by gloves fetishists for this but thick, brightly coloured, household rubber gloves can also have an attraction.
