   Thanks to those of you who emailed to me or  posted  followups
   to my postings about my fettish in wearing soft clear plastic.

   As several of you are curious about  many  facets  about  this
   fettish, I would like to answer your questions in this follow-
   up posting rather than to attempt to post  followups  to  each
   response.

   You were curious as to what I do with the plastic, where I get
   or  how  I  make  my  clear plastic articles, do I worry about
   sufication, have I tried rubber and leather, and so forth.

                            The Fettish

   The fettish is simple. I simply like to wear and  wrap  myself
   in  clear  plastic.  I get some sexual arousal in this. I have
   had this fettish since I was about 6 years old. At that  time,
   I had the chance to play with a piece of clear plastic from my
   kid sister's baby carriage. I would like to rub it against  my
   skin and put it over my face. This evolved to the point now at
   which I have a large collection of articles that I  have  made
   out of clear plastic such a clothes, sleeping bags, etc.

   I like to wear and wrap myself in these; it is very erotic  to
   me.  When  it rains, I like to wear one of my clear rain suits
   or capes (with clothes underneath, of course; I am not an  ex-
   hibitionist).

   I am not into suffication as some have asked; nor  am  I  into
   bondage  or  water sports. I dont need the plastic to be tight
   or to be sealed up in it. I just like to wear it and  wrap  it
   gently around myself.

   And no, this is not my whole life as some of you accused me. I
   have  other totally unrelated hobbies such as computers, bicy-
   cling, choir, opera, writing, etc. Please dont  think  that  I
   spend every waking hour wrapped up. :>)

   The fettish is very specific. I tried leather,  rubber,  latex
   and  the  other  stuff.  Nothing worked except very soft clear
   plastic. It had to be the very soft heavy clear  plastic  such
   as  that  used  in  clear shower curtains. It had to be clear.
   Colored and patterend do not do anything.  It had to  be  sup-
   ple.  Celephane  was no good. Cleaners bags turned me on some-
   what but they clung to the skin and could be dangerous becuase
   of the suffication problem. Likewise with seran wrap.

   Upon discussing this fettish with my mother (who know I had it
   ever since the beginning) resulted in the belief that the fet-
   tish may have  been  a  psychological  offshoot  of  my  being
   released from the fetal sack (the membrane sack that the fetus
   is in while in the womb).

                            The Articles

   I make all of my own articles. I have been frustrated  at  the
   lack  of  *GOOD*  stuff  available on the market at reasonable
   prices.

   Articles commercially available  are  limited  to  clear  rain
   capes.  These  are  allways too small for me (I am a 5 ft 6 in
   180 pound male cycling athlete). They are  expensive  ($30  to
   $50).  They  are  made  poorly.  Custom made stuff is worse. I
   have heard of stuff going for $100 to $200 a pop  for  shirts,
   pants, etc (gakk!).

   So, I make my own. I take clear plastic shower curtains (about
   $6.00  a  pop). I use an electric iron and plastic glue. I use
   the iron to seal the streight seams and the glue to  seal  the
   curves (armpits, crotch, etc). Here how:

   Use a teflon coated *DRY* iron. Not  steam.  Use  the  highest
   heat setting.

   Take an old bicycle tire that is not grooved (such as a  baled
   racing  tire) and cut it so that the circle is now a line. Cut
   out the beading so you have just the rubber.  Tack  or  fasten
   this  to  a sturdy and clean table or bench. Use this for your
   sealing surface.

   Butt seam the article. Take the two pieces you  want  to  seal
   and  put them against the rubber tire. Put a piece of metal on
   either side of the tire to protect the  rest  of  the  plastic
   (that which you dont want to seam) from the iron. Then lay the
   iron on the seam very lightly; hold for about 5 seconds *DONT*
   try  to rub or move the iron once it touches the plastic. Then
   *QUICKLY* lift the iron from the plastic. Repeat.

   With a little practice, you should be able to make good seams.
   For  those areas that are hard to do with the iron method, use
   vynal glue. For this, you will need a *VERY*  well  ventilated
   area and you will need to let the article dry for a day before
   using it. I do *NOT* recommend using the glue for any seams on
   articles  that you intend to put over your head unless you let
   them ventilate (preferably with a fan) for a few days  to  get
   rid of the fumes.

                            Other Stuff

   I worry about suffication. I never sleep with any part  of  my
   head  enclosed. I very rarely play with saran wrap. I use com-
   mon sense.  Sorry, I am not one of those  suffication  freaks.
   Nor am I into water sports as some of you asked.

   And yes, I have seen Bladerunner (including the new director's
   cut)  a lot of times. Yes, the scene with the woman running in
   the clear raincoat is my favorite. And yes, I have seen Brazil
   with  the guy in the plastic suit. Likewise with the old James
   Bond movie, Dr. No. If anyone else knows of any  other  flicks
   with  people wearing clear plastic, please email or post. I am
   interested in these.

   Yes, I checked out the magazine <<o>> from Europe. At $40.00 a
   copy  here  in Seattle, it is not worth it. The stuff in there
   is also expensive.

   Yes, I live in Seattle and love the rain. And yes, I have gone
   to the big Bump in the Night Haloween party with my outfits.

   Some of you suggested that I go into the  business  of  making
   clear  plastic  articles for the sex or erotic markets. Sorry.
   This is only a fettish.  My real game is computers, unix,  da-
   tabases, TCP/IP; that sort of stuff.  Maybee if I get laid off
   and there were no computer jubs for a unix and  tcp/ip  weenie
   with  10 years of experience in the world, than maybee I might
   use it as a fallback. Besides, it is *much* cheaper  and  more
   satisfying  to make your own. So, get the iron and the old bi-
   cycle tire and go at it.

   I hope this answers all of your  questions!  Please  email  or
   post  if  you  have  any more or especially if you know of any
   other gay men who are into this game!
