This is a large-format book of high quality photographic images showing (mostly) females attired in the style of clothing and accoutrements that many people find erotically stimulating. Many superb photographers are represented. As with most erotic practices the result will not be seen universally as erotic, and indeed may well have the opposite effect, even to the point of nausea. The photographs, in superbly rich colours, involve a lot of shiny rubber, and a goodly proportion involve BDSM show more apparatus such as ropes and instrument of chastisement. The models chosen to be thus adorned are uniformly stunning, and it cannot be denied that the rubberwear, scanty and tautly figure-hugging as it is, emphasises their extremely feminine shapes. For me, wearing shiny rubber headgear, usually completely enclosing the head apart from eyes and mouth, seems sinister, and detracting from the essentially feminine beauty of the female face, but I freely admit that it may be just such attributes which attract those who are susceptible to this fetish. That said, the book as a whole is so well conceived and produced that it is likely to have an attraction well beyond the fetishistic niches that are its principal target. show less
