Man, I love the smell, sound, and feel of leather! Something
about leather gives you a feeling no other material does. I ride
a motorcycle, so I wear leather for protection. When I think
about it, man kind has worn leather for protection since we
first started covering our naked bodies.
Early man used the skin of animals (all animal skins are
considered leather) for clothing, shelter, tarp, sleds, and a
variety of things. The tougher the animal, the tougher the
leather and the greater the protection against weather,
underbrush, and enemy's weapons. Maybe that is why leather
effects us so deeply. It ignites the primal man (or woman) in
all of us. The memory of leather must be deeply ingrained in our
genetic memory.
Primal urges must be why we find leather sooo very sexy. They
say lingerie was invented by the French back in the 1600s. I say
the first cave gall that had half her leather clothing ripped
off by a dominate male, was the creator of lingerie, she just
didn't know it.
When we see a woman dressed in leather lingerie, we often think
of dominatrics, or bondage and other rough sex. Crack the whip,
tie me up, beat me, bite me and call me scum kind of thing. It's
just an image we see prominat in the main stream media. I see
pure sex appeal.
Leather lingerie can be sensual, sexual and elegant too.
Leather, like sex, plays on all the senses. Good quality leather
has it's own distinct smell. Even blindfolded, you will
recognize the smell of leather, hear the crackle, and feel the
texture (even if it's a leather blindfold). Each of our senses
brings forth an image in our minds. When we smell, hear or feel
leather, images rush into our heads.
Girls have been attracted to men in leather since the dawn of
time. The "bad boy" image comes attached to a man in leather. A
rebel, a fighter, and a lover. Is that why so many rock stars
wear leather?
Gay men and women also wear leather. So the attraction goes
deeper than we may ever know. If leather attracts the opposite
sex, as well as the same sex. Maybe leather says I am the
dominate man, or woman here. Many powerful men have hired women
to dress in leather and dominate them.
I think we all have individual images of what leather means to
us. Whatever image leather conjures up in your mind, I am sure
that excitement is part of it. That's why sexy leather is such
hot stuff.
