It takes all kinds to make a world — including the kind that dress up as latex dolls to fulfill their kinky BDSM desires.
Welcome to the world of “female masking,” a shadowy underground movement in which members turn themselves into unblinkingly servile dolls.

The growing scene — currently believed to be several thousand strong — largely consists of mature men from America, the United Kingdom and, yes, Germany.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Apparently it’s been going on since the ’80s, and was helmed by an adventurous, experimental gentleman who helped style masks for Tim Burton’s Batman films.
According to VICE, the men recreate themselves from top to bottom by dressing up in silicone bodysuits, prosthetic breasts and opulent outfits.

The publication managed to find some guys in Amsterdam and Germany who agreed to transform themselves into their “feminine latex doll” alter egos in front of the camera.
The film includes the following soundbite: “You know there’s nothing going on in a doll’s head… It’s all full of air or straw.”
If that doesn’t grab you, we can’t do nothing for you.
Let’s get to know these guys, shall we?

Ooooo, I bet they even have plastic vaginas. This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard of but who am I to judge (I thought furries were strange but even that is starting to make sense.

@He BGB: agreed !!

Ha. They where diapers in the full suits. I don’t know how you could find any of that sexy.

Not to mention I’d think you would be sweating like a pig underneath.

This disturbs me, but I’m really in no position to disapprove, or judge. ~^

Is this even a gay thing or is it more some kind of middle aged straight guy fetish scene? Just asking as I am wondering what it has to do with gays.

@Dave Downunder: That’s a good point.

@Dave Downunder: I think it has more to do with transgender/gender identity stuff, which the gay community insists on including in the homosexuality spectrum. Morgan Spurlock had a series called 7 Deadly Sins years ago, and this type of thing was one of the features (I believe it fell under envy). The guys that dressed up in these latex female body suits–to live as female in their excursions away from their wives and kids–all identified as hetero.

If Plushies get dressed up like stuffed animals, what would we call these? Slickies? Slickos?

@Dave Downunder: As another post pointed out, it’s linked to transgender identity performance. I don’t get it, but then these are consenting adults, they are not hurting anyone or any thing, and this is bringing them joy, so more power to them. That one German guy in the film who seemed to freak out after going to Amsterdam was particularly fascinating to me. I kept thinking of what it must take to partition your brain so radically like he was doing and what the psychological effects might be if things started to go haywire.

“Let’s get to know them.” Uh, let’s not and say we did, k?

@Masc Pride: True. bi-curious marrieds tend toward the DQ/TS route, especially if two conditions are met…1.) they’re still trying to grapple with their attraction to other males, and especially, 2.) if meth or some other whack drug is involved. In my exurban area, I can about ten such as this within a few miles of my house. Usually what happens is the wife/kids take off (or kick him/her out), jail and/or rehab happens for various offenses, they poz up, THEN they start trying to think about it all rationally. Too late, fellas…should’ve started a LITTLE sooner on that one.
