You are looking at the shiny alter ego of a straight male that has everything under control in daily life. When I was a kid I playfully learned about certain interests that I didn’t understand at the time. Without worrying about it I enjoyed exploring anything that triggered my mind. I’ve always been curious and willing to explore. In those years I spent a lot of time in our basements. Mostly creating things to play with on the workbench. And occasionally to change into a neoprene rubber wetsuit that was always hanging in the back. I can still remember wearing them in the early eighties. The super tight and restrictive fit gave me a special, intense and pleasurable feeling.
“Things fell in place, I have a latex fetish!”
When I reached puberty things slowly started to make sense. During my teenage years it became clear to me that I had a fetish for tight rubber clothing. Moving out of the parental home gave me the freedom to explore my interests. This was in the early 90’s and before the internet existed as we know it. So you had to look things up in the yellow pages and go to shops. This was the period I discovered latex clothing and things finally fell in place. I have a latex fetish.
In the 90’s the internet slowly started to take shape and access to information started to grow rapidly. Search engines like Netscape and Internet Explorer were introduced and made searching for content easier. The best thing was being able to specifically explore latex fetish content. At that time you had to use a dial-up modem and loading pages and images was painfully slow. But as the years went by everything got better and faster.
“Time of total freedom and privacy.”
Trying things was still a bit stressful in those days as I shared a house with multiple students. They would randomly walk into your room for any reason. Thankfully I’ve never experienced an embarrassing moment. Fast forward a few years and after moving around a few times I finally moved into my own apartment in 1997. The time of total freedom and privacy started at last. Now the only limitation was my budget and the fact that I had multiple hobbies.
As latex was already expensive back in those days I started out with dipped or moulded latex. Over time I bought multiple smaller items en slowly worked towards a full body coverage. Although it is the budget friendly way to wear latex, the lack of quality is noticeable. You only need one weak spot and it rips. So I quickly came to the conclusion to stop wasting money on cheap latex. And in 1998 I bought my handmade latex shirt from Skin Tight. This is also the oldest piece of clothing in my collection although it has started to perish.
Ordering things from the safety of your home became easier towards the new millennium and a wider range of products became available. You were no longer limited to the product range or brands at local shops or the disappointment of wanting to buy something that wasn’t available. Saying that, I lived in one of the major cities in Holland and there were a few fantastic specialty shops. One of them was Subliem and that was fetish heaven. One of the places I visited regularly over the years.
Buying my first digital camera in 2000 gave me the ability to capture my latex adventures. Slowly documenting my latex fetish journey. My latex collection slowly started to expand together with accessories like gas masks, handcuffs, selfmade restraints and harnesses.
"Do the things you love, in the best way possible and magic can happen."
I started sharing my fetish content in 2015 after a life changing event that made me rethink the meaning and direction of my life. In the past I always struggled with my fetishes as my ex-partners never understood it and weren’t open towards it. Most found it weird, some even scary. So I started expressing myself online, unaware about the journey I would embark on. Fetics Fetish was born.

"Never dating someone vanilla again!"
Over the following years I’ve had many interesting conversations. Made many friends and learnt about the (mostly) amazing people in our community. At some point I decided to end the 101% vanilla relationship I was in. Telling myself to never date anyone that isn’t into latex and kink ever again. Shortly after I found my true love. My Fetish Queen, the REAL Fetish Erotica. Being active online is what brought us together. Simply by sharing our passion for latex and (heavy) rubber amongst things. We started talking and haven’t stopped since. You can read about our first date here.
What we share online is part of our journey together, coated with a certain voice we want to speak. One of true love, open-mindedness and accepting each other in all weirdness. Hopefully we can inspire others to do the same.
