A Love For Latex
People Magazine South Africa|April 26, 2019

FROM black bodysuits with gas mask-style headgear to ones with boobs, this guy’s latex fixation is one for the books.

A Love For Latex

ELIOT LILES, 31, grew up in a religious and conservative family, which meant that he was unable to act on his passion for latex.

It wasn’t until he started university in 2007 that he could afford his first piece of latex, which he wore everywhere. According to the 31-year-old, he is attracted to its unique and sensory aspects and wearing latex makes him feel confident about himself. “I feel that I have an innate attraction to smooth and shiny things; I’ve had interest in latex fashion since I was a toddler,” he says, adding, “I loved to pretend to be a doctor. That was going to be my career when I got older. As part of that role play, I would wear latex exam gloves to look the part. My memory of that part of my life is vague, but I recall at some point thinking that it would be cool to have clothes made of the same material as the gloves so I could wear it on more than just my hands. I had no Internet access at the time, and I was just a little kid, so the thought never went further than that.

My interest in latex fashion unfortunately developed long before I had the means to acquire any for myself. My first purchase came very shortly after moving out to attend university. Around that same time, I was able to get my own credit card so I could finally make my own online purchases. At first, being a poor college student, I didn’t get anything fancy. I just got some simple, ‘cheap’ pieces such as shorts and T-shirts. It wasn’t much, but it was enough for me to finally experience wearing it, which I had been longing for. It definitely whet my appetite and I knew it was for me.
