Stocking are pretty firmly embedded into popular culture as a symbol of sexiness, raunchiness and daring.

We’d all probably consider most ladies who slip on a pair of stockings, whether they are sexy fishnet stockings complete with suspender belt, or a normal set of nylon hold up stockings, to be a little more naughty minded; after all few people put stockings on to keep their legs warm as typically tights (or pantyhose if your from the States) are more sensible and practical. Backing this up is the fact that in the media, such as cinema, magazines or music videos, stockings are worn to portray sexual image. The fact that stockings are worn under clothes that don’t necessarily show them means the naughty and sexy secret is underneath know only to the wearer.

So having given a fair (yet arguable) reasoning for the statement that stockings are something of a sexual symbol, lets have a look at how sexy they can actually be. Well first off stockings have the benefit (unlike tights) of they do not get in the way, meaning any sexy underwear worn (or not worn for that matter) can be clearly seen; adding a suspender belt seems to add the look of actually framing the panties or crotch area (pretty daring and sexy especially if you aren’t wearing them!)

Then there is the way they accentuate the legs. Stockings are like sheer gloves that fit and frame the legs and draw your eyes to them, they have a way of drawing out the shape of the legs. There are ways that this is enhanced more, such as designs on the stockings, lace work, piping and even rhinestones in the seams, or the variations on standard stockings such as fishnet stockings. Colour can make a big difference as well, the most common being black, white and red.

Finally there is the feel. Nylon has a very sheer look and a very smooth and silky feel to it. Running a hand (or other body part) over a stocking clad leg is a pleasurable feeling, and the same is said for those who wear them; the feeling over the stockings on your legs can be very arousing indeed.

It is the smooth silky feel of nylon stockings that has led to the material being used in other daring and sexual styles of clothing. Mesh tops are popular in the Club scene, as well as Rock and Goth clothing, though most would always wear a bra or small top of some kind underneath, though the more daring may go without (but remember depending where you are this may be considered indecent exposure!). Similar in design are mesh or nylon dresses, same principle as the top but covers like dress would. Obviously in this situation you are going to have to address the fact your lower half is pretty exposed and some panties would be a good idea.

Nylon or fishnet gloves are not only sexy when you are touched by them, but have quite a raunchy rebellious look to them as well, adding a kind of bad girl image (especially fingerless gloves).

The ultimate in indulgence for those who love the silky touch and sheer look of stockings are body stockings. These are full catsuits made from nylon and look just like you would expect. Obviously most add very little to the imagination and not wearing a bra or panties underneath is pretty much tantamount to being nude, so they are more for the bedroom than for outside (though some places might allow them to be worn with something covering your modesty underneath).

If we consider this a typical body stocking (if there is such a thing), then there are body stockings that have the crotch and chest areas covered with designs, patterns or faux underwear. The other extreme covers body stockings with open crotch or open top areas - obviously to fully expose what’s underneath (or not underneath as the case may be); Considered more fetish wear these are not legal to be worn outside the home, and even with underwear underneath you’d probably be pushing the boundaries a little too much.

So there you have it, stockings in all their shapes and styles provide a great deal of sexual energy and options for those wanting to try something a little naughty. For a great range of stockings, fishnet stockings, body stockings or nylon gloves visit www.turnmeon.co.uk

The look, feel and smell of leather lingerie and clothing has been seen as erotic, alluring and arousing for decades. Some consider leather clothing as “cool” and adding an air of masculinity or strength. The look of leather clothing tends to embody that of the rebel or the “Bad Guy” (or “Bad Girl”).

Leather lingerie is an extension of this basic concept. Instead of (or in addition to) just leather trousers, leather skirt or a leather dress, women now have leather corsets, body suits, teddies, basques, bras and thongs; the list goes on and on. Men also have variations such as leather briefs, shorts and vests.

Two of the most popular leather clothing garments are leather boots and leather gloves. Both tend to add a level of domination to the wearer, giving them an appearance of stern authority and danger. This is often considered leather fetishism.

Leather fetishism is the name popularly used to describe a sexual attraction to people wearing leather and or to the garments themselves.

The smell and the sound of leather is often an erotic stimulus for people and leather is occasionally finished with a glossy surface and produced in bright colours, providing additional visual stimuli.

The leather fetish is often considered part of the BDSM subculture, though this isn’t always the case. Many people who love the look, feel and smell of leather have absolutely no interest in BDSM, but there are just as many that do.

Along the lines of BDSM, or even simple master and servant games, leather lingerie and leather clothing has evolved to add accessories to increase their appeal. Harnesses, chains, blindfold and cuffs are often part of the actual outfits, though many are option accessories, along with whips and other toys.

Leather lingerie also often pushes sexual boundaries, by allowing the exposure of ones body through cup-less bras and corsets and crotch-less or zippered panties and thongs. It is often designed to allow sexual intercourse without the removal of the garments as well, to help facilitate the fetish of still wearing it.

Our range includes leather dresses, skirts, tops, corsets and teddies, as well as leather boots and gloves, shorts and trousers.

Latex rubber as a clothing material is common in fetish fashion and among BDSM practitioners, and is often seen worn at fetish clubs. Worn on the body latex clothing tends to be skin-tight, producing a "second skin" effect. It is also a lot shinier than the more matte rubber.

Latex can be used to make leotards, bodysuits, stockings and the very popular latex gloves, as well as most items that can be made from 'traditional' fabrics. Latex is also often used to make specialist fetish garments like hoods and rubber cloaks.

Latex is also often used in the makeup of various sex toys and lingerie. Latex lingerie incorporates panties, bras, corsets and more, which are all very common and popular. For men there are latex vests, shorts and briefs as well.

Because of its feel, look and versatility it is often used for sex toys or for including sex toy variations into actual latex lingerie and rubber clothing. Penis extensions and sheaths moulded onto briefs and panties are quite popular. The sheaths are an alternative for safe sex and add to the sensation for those that enjoy the latex feel. The extensions are usually for a female to wear to allow her to perform penetration on her partner (male or female). Other examples would be internal dildo latex panties or briefs that give the actual wearer penetration and some go as far as to include external and internal dongs.

Latex clothing is generally made from large sheets of latex which are delivered in rolls, however because latex sheet is relatively weak, latex clothing needs special care to avoid tearing. Latex clothing is often polished to preserve and improve its shiny appearance and there are stockists that sell latex shine and polish for just that purpose.

There is a growing sub-culture of latex fetishism as well. BDSM is often associated with the latex fetish culture, and though this can often be the case, this is not always the case and many fetishists simply enjoy wearing, or even just watching others wearing, latex lingerie and clothing.
