How is it possible that a simple tree sap sparked a powerful community of fetishism with a rich culture and extensive history? To answer this question, this class explores the history of rubber, a journey that involves the Aztec people, quack medicine, high fashion, the Second World War, raincoat fetishists, and much more. The class will begin by discussing what latex is and where it comes from and will continue into a chronological history of rubber as a material as well as how it relates to fashion and fetishism. This journey will begin in 1600 BCE and end in the modern day. Along the way, we will discuss all the wild and exciting pieces of rubber history that have worked together to create rubber fetishism as it exists today.

Towards the end of class, we will briefly explore different methods of latex care to ensure your pieces stay shiny and last long!

INSTRUCTOR:

Dolly Diatima is a Persian American professional dominatrix, writer, fetish model, and lifestyle kinkster. As a nonbinary and neurodivergent sex worker on the ace spectrum, they offer a unique perspective into kink and sexuality which they work to bring into their sessions as a domme as well as into their writings and classes. They are currently one semester away from a BA in Philosophy and can often be found discussing the intersection of kink and philosophical concepts on their blog. After graduation, they plan to pursue an AASECT sexuality educator certification. In their spare time, they enjoy drawing in the pop surrealism style, watching extreme horror films, and collecting vintage fashion. They reside in the San Francisco Bay Area with their big beautiful tuxedo cat, Ligeia.
