R IS FOR RUBBERLatex fetishism is the fetishistic attraction to people wearing latex clothing or, in certain cases, to the garments themselves. PVC fetishism and rubber fetishism are closely related to latex fetish, with the former referring to shiny clothes made of the synthetic plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the latter referring to clothes made of rubber, which is generally thicker, less shiny, and more matte than latex. PVC is sometimes confused with the similarly shiny patent leather, which is also a fetish material. Latex or rubber fetishists sometimes refer to themselves as “rubberists”. Gay rubberists tend to call themselves “rubber men”. To count down the 9 days to M°BA 13, celebrated Dutch photographer Ruud van der Peijl is sharing his Fetish Alphabet with us, exploring the full gamut of fetishism from A to Z. These images will also be exhibited in Lidewij Edelkoort’s MOOD ROOM at M°BA CENTRAAL from June 9 to July 21, 2013.
