Leather play

Leather has always been seen as a symbol of power and dominance. It’s sexy, strong, and sensual, and you can incorporate it into clothing, accessories, or sexy toys! People find leather erotic for a number of reasons, so embrace your inner leather lover and bring it into the bedroom for some sultry fun.

Leather me up

Leather has a unique tactile quality. It's smooth, yet slightly textured, and it warms against your skin as it's worn. The sensation of leather against the body can be incredibly sensual and arousing, and many people simply enjoy the way it feels. It also fits close to the skin, accentuating your body’s curves and contours. It’s just a tactile pleasure to wear leather.

Leather comes in many colours and has a glossy or matte finish, and looks incredibly sexy with the addition of studs, spikes, chains, rings, and charms. Corsets, harnesses, chaps, pants, and more all have a distinct and powerful visual appeal. In BDSM, biker culture, and leather communities, wearing leather is not just about sexual attraction, it’s also integral to people’s identity and serve as a symbol of their culture. It evokes a sense of edginess, rebelliousness, empowerment, and sexiness. In short, leather is highly erotic.

Second skin

If you’ve never worn leather before, you’re in for a sensory treat. First there’s the fresh, clean, earthy smell of leather – it immediately brings pictures to your mind. Then comes the physical sensation of slipping on a leather garment. Cool at first, as it warms, it will soften and shape to your skin – and the more you wear leather, the more comfortable it will become. Worn-in leather feels like a second skin, and well-made, good-quality leather garments will last for many years.

Power play

Leather lends itself well to role-play scenarios. Whether it’s a classic Dominant/submissive dynamic or more elaborate role-play, leather can enhance the immersive experience. In the world of BDSM and fetishism, leather is used to signify specific roles and dynamics. A person wearing leather may take on the role of a Dominant figure, which can be incredibly appealing for those who enjoy power play in their sexual encounters. Leather is also a common fetish item, and can trigger arousal just by seeing, smelling, or touching it.

Bringing leather into the bedroom

Start with something subtle yet seductive. Invest in leather lingerie such as bras, panties, or harnesses. These pieces can be worn discreetly under clothing for a sexy surprise. Leather accessories like cuffs, collars, or chokers can add an element of kink to your encounters. Leather blindfolds or masks can enhance sensory deprivation and exploration, creating an exciting element of surprise and anticipation. Leather harnesses and restraints are perfect for those interested in exploring power dynamics and restraint. They can be used for light bondage play, allowing one partner to take control while the other surrenders. Or try leather gloves which, with their smooth texture, can make for sensational massages. Use leather gloves to explore each other’s bodies and heighten the sensory experience.
