My limited knowledge of fetishes

I will from time to time look through some fetish porn. I don't even really know how its categorized though I can definitely tell a difference in the particular fetish being displayed. Mostly what I'll do is watch latex videos on YouTube.

Today this video came up after talking about slutty clothes and platforms:


I have seen videos of a similar ilk and I always watch them with a concerned look on my face. They scare me a little. I don't understand. As a fat kid, I remember trying on skin tight gap hand-me-downs from my willowy cousins. I was so anxious that I wouldn't be able to take them off, that I'd get stuck in them. Latex doesn't breathe and I can't breathe watching them wear so much of it. I am afraid for them. They don't seem to be suffering from the same panic attacks. Good for them!

Most of my basic questions could be answered by going to wikipedia, but the real question wouldn't be answered. Why. Without judgment. I do have my own lenses through which I see the world and so I may be fearful but that is in part because I don't understand. I will never fully understand but I would like to hear others' views on this. Other perspectives.

Here's another one I first saw years ago:

  1. I believe that smut of this variety stems from fetishizing of clothing. Living in a puritanical culture such as the USA, we learn to regard a naked body as sexual and a clothed body as nonsexual. This creates the dilemma of rarely being in this sexual (naked) state around others. Therefore, the clothes we wear have to be capable of communicating all these sexual signs for us, and we likewise eroticize what others wear. I think that this is the root of these latex videos. It is about being as close to being naked while still being clothed, there's a sort of erotic dualism to it. I'm sure there's some tactile reason's why some folks like it too, but since I have never worn latex/nylons/anything form-fitting, I can only attest to the voyeuristic aspect.
