Leather is complex and powerful material. For many people, its power is obvious, almost natural. But for many it stays hidden under the surface. We need to be curious enough to discover it, open-minded enough to understand it, and empathetic enough not be judgemental.

Great write up and I'm glad you touch on this topic. Even with how passionate you are about leather clothes and how much its a part of your lifestyle, you could have dismissed or ignore it, but instead you wrote this thoughtful and insightful blog post. I really appreciate that you have a positive and accepting view of leather fetishism.
I'm coming from a place where fetish is basically a taboo. Its not something I could talk about or be open about when the people around are not the most understanding...and are judgmental.

Thank you for your detailed words. I am fortunate that my wife enjoys leather clothes and boots.
My own journey of wearing leather, the big step beyond a leather jacket, was a leather shirt. This progressed to leather trousers. I like stylish leather clothes that can be worn out and about

In my early twenties I met my dream woman who…
As wonderful as your book are your thoughts about fetish. I knew the power of it long before I heard the word "fetish" for the first time. I think there is quite a difference between foot or breast fetishists and the kind of "material" fetishists like me (and you). After having studied about it all my life, I can say for my special kind of leather fetish: My fetish is a great achievement of my soul to help me through my life. I was a small, weak boy. My physical sexual powers, compared to other guys, were low. So my soul (or my mind, my brain?) developed a clever workaround: At some point in my early childhood (I can't remember when it…
At first, let me thank you for your book. It is wonderfully produced, and your texts are a revelation to me!
