Are there some gloves that are more exciting than others? Ones exciting you wear only at home?
For example if you wear gloves outside? Do you consider them just fashion gloves? Or they constantly make you feel excited?
There are some gloves that I don't find exciting; wool gloves, fingerless gloves, mittens, anything furry all do precious little for me as do medical gloves the disposable things, I don't get that either.
Outside I'll only wear leather gloves and that's during the winter time, they aren't just a fashion accessory, they serve the purpose of keeping warm too. As for whether the make me feel excited, well I'm definitely more aware of my hands, what they're doing, look like, feel like, any sensations and so on when I'm gloved, I guess you could say its like a small frisson of excitement rather than some huge 'whoa!! I'm wearing gloves and feeling damned sexy right now!!' vibe.
I really like opera gloves the best though, leather or fetish latex and because there isn't scope to wear them anywhere else they are the ones I'll wear at home, when I'm alone, so I can enjoy them without the distraction of other people, either their ambivalence or their perving on, neither of which would make me feel comfortable wearing them.
As for Ber 75's question on how did I find out I had a fetish, I've done a long post about this in Experiences a few years ago, but in short, I didn't find out as such, it was always there. I think it started out with self soothing as a toddler with a blanket type thing which 'worked' when I rubbed the fabric between my fingers. I got the same buzz/soothing sensation from mittens, then knitted gloves, rubber gloves and I realised it was 'my thing' and over time it was unusual and something most people would deem a fetish. Yes there's an element of sexual turn on in it, but I think there's perhaps as much if not more about it being a release, soothing myself by allowing myself to enjoy the change of sensations my hands are experiencing.
I sometimes wonder if part of the thrill is the inappropriateness. Let's face it, there are almost no situations nowadays where wearing gloves is the norm. They're linked to a past notion of femininity and glamour that I wish I'd been around to experience. Maybe part of the allure is a desire to feel feminine and glamorous in a way you don't in modern clothes.
