September 4, 2008 - Of Leather Fetishes and Leather Padfolios

Usually, fetishism has sexual connotations.  In a study of 48 cases of sexual fetishism in a teaching hospital, patients were erotically obsessed with clothing, rubber, footwear, body parts, and leather.  Indeed, each to his own!

Fortunately, there are fetishes that are not sexual in nature.  You might say that collectors of various items who rabidly accumulate the objects of their affection regardless of cost are fetishists.   For example, Imelda Marcos has a fetish for shoes as exemplified by her collection of a thousand shoes (and from whence came the term “imeldific” denoting ostentatious extravagance). 

Leather Lust (or Love)

Just what is it about leather that inspires men and women to love them?  Is it the smooth feel of leather under your fingertips?  Is it the sight of beautifully tanned leather in rich colors?  Is it the sound of leather rubbing against your skin?  Is it the smell of newly-tanned leather that can even be found in perfumes? 

Whatever it is that draws us to leather, it cannot be denied that we simply cannot have enough of it!  Fortunately, you can indulge in your leather fetish without going down the sexual route though nobody is stopping you on that point. How about going the technological route? 

Leather Lust + Technology = Gadgets Wrapped in Leather

There are high-tech gadgets wrapped in leather, which can satisfy your love of anything leather. You can try these:

Laptops with leather cases that you can get in the classic colors of black and brown as well as feminine colors of hot pink
iPods and USBs with leather covers that takes entertainment and information to a whole new leathery level

Just imagine your fingers caressing the smooth and supple leather while at the same time actually having objects that perform useful functions.  (Sure, leather corsets and bondage equipment have their uses but you definitely cannot brandish them in public, can you?)

And to make your leather love even sweeter, you can always surround yourself with mainstream society-acceptable leather personal accessories like leather padfolios, leather passport holders and a leather envelope, which you can all get by clicking here now.

And the best thing about these leather items?  You need not explain them to airport security personnel!  (Or to your non-leather loving partner either)
