A Love Affair With Lycra

There are a few brands in the world that have become so synonymous with their product that people simply meld the two together and the brand becomes the product. Band Aids, Scotch Tape, and Xeroxes are all examples of this phenomenon. Each one of those brands is so popular and ubiquitous that people simply refer to it by the brand name even though that’s not what the product is. In the world of clothing, Lycra has taken on this same connotation. It has become such a well known and well liked product around the world that many people simply use it instead of spandex. That’s right; Lycra is really just a brand name for spandex that belongs to the Invista Company. Lycra, or spandex, was a revolutionary fiber when it was invented in 1959 and it became a huge component of many clothing items in everyone’s closets. It can be stretched to extreme lengths without any breaking or tearing and it will go right back to its original size. You can imagine the wealth of uses for such a material.

Inevitably, Lycra found its way into the adult scene, probably during the 1980s when everyone owned an aerobics video featuring babes in Lycra, and nowadays it’s a major fixture in many people’s fetishistic dreams. A Lycra fetish is very similar to a nylon or stocking fetish in many ways. First off, the feeling of the two materials is quite similar. They are both very soft and smooth, like silk. In addition, both materials offer a shiny, matte look to the legs or body parts they are covering. Third, the wearing of both materials has an element of bondage and restriction to it which is a significant turn on for scores of men.

Another significant use of Lycra is in comic books, which have been the domain of horny nerds for many decades. Almost every super hero, male or female, is clad in some version of a skin tight Lycra outfit, and the women are always very curvy and sexy. Lycra also made a significant dent in popular culture in the 1980s when it was featured in a number of popular films like Heavenly Bodies, Breakin’, and Flashdance, as well as the aforementioned workout videos.

Lycra is an oft fetishized material for all of the above reasons and for the simple fact that it looks and feels great. When a woman in a Lycra outfit rubs her body against yours it touches all the proper nerve endings and sends waves of pleasure throughout your body. If you’re lucky enough to have sex with a Lycra wearing babe you’ll be amazed at the extra sensations you achieve while she’s rubbing on top of or below you. In addition, Lycra makes a woman with a good body look even better. It acts as a second skin and hugs her curves in a smooth sensual way that will drive you crazy with lust.
