What's Your Fetish?

European profile site Planet Romeo did a (very unofficial) profile data collection of their members on August 20.

Underwear is the #1 gear/clothing fetish. 480,000 of our Romeos love to see a guy in boxers, briefs or thongs. Jeans comes in second, with 440,000 fans. And sportswear is in third place with 368,000 fans. Leather and skins & punks were mentioned a few times in the comments, but these were less popular, coming in at 7th and 10th place. Maybe we're not as kinky as we think?
Underwear and jeans are fetish? REALLY?

To answer that last question whether we are actually kinky as much as we thought we were, I knew the answer to that one a long time ago....no, we are not. 

The porn industry might make it appear differently, but gay men in general are pretty contemporary and boring. 

Trust me, I've tried to pervert hundreds of them over the years and they either end up looking like deer in headlights and running in the opposite direction or claim that they are something that they really aren't. How many of you have had this conversation?:

Me: So, according to your profile, you're into rubber and bondage. What do you have for gear? What are you bringing over?
Him: Well, I actually don't own any rubber, but I'm very intrigued by it and how it looks.
Me: Oh, so what you mean is that you're interested in rubber?
Him: No, I mean I'm really into it, I just don't have any.
Me: Uh-huh. I see. I assume that means that I'm dressing you then?

THANK GOD THERE ARE A FEW OF US PERVERTS AROUND. 


I actually enjoy the fact that we are a small unique community in the sea of deck shoes, tribal house music playsets and hair highlights. Gays are becoming just as lame and consumer-driven as the straight community and I find that culture something I have no interest of being involved in. 

I'll keep my perverted actions, playroom, and sexy entourage of horny rubbermen active and vibrant, thank you very much! ;-)

Well, I'm perpetually short on gear for budgetary reasons, but I make it clear that I love many things I don't happen to own. A good clue is in the completeness of a person's profile: those who are really into it tend to gush at length over their interests.

Of course, I would be bringing over gear and toys of my own, so it's more obvious that I'm not a tourist. I have my zippered IKEA bag at the ready. :-P
