We like to joke that the masking fetish is really for lazy trannies who don’t want to go through the trouble of putting on make up. It’s fun to say but it may not be true.
Everyone Forever described the desire for masking as “from the wearer’s point of view, the mask provides an opportunity to be completely surrounded by the powerful smells and tactile qualities of latex. They can heighten sensitivity and fear/excitement in the way leather and rubber sensory-deprivation hoods used in BDSM scenarios do. And because many of the maskers combine the mask with tight-fitting corsets and layered clothing, there can also be an element of containment or bondage.”
But why the feminine element? What do you think the real attraction to masking is?
Also, please enjoy the video of Kerry wearing her Joan female mask while sleeping and moving about to the Cardigan’s “Good Morning Joan.”

Because it makes them feel REAL!
I love it.
People are always going up to me asking if I am wearing a mask.
No, just painted……that’s all.
Love ya

June 4, 2008 at 00:31Hey! That’s my town Seattle! Now this feeds my sense that those masking are really our local weather TV men and sportscasters wanting to emulate our local female newscasters. Is it dress envy? There is a stunning familiarity to our female talking heads here. Isn’t that our own Channel 4 Kathi in the silver hair at the sculpture park?
