Do you have a little harmless kink that turns you on? Something that for you personally, triggers an excitement and sexual response. Often it can be something as simple as a visual thrill that triggers that sexual tweak, for others it might be far more physical, an act of some nature. Whatever it might be, call it a fetish, kink or just strong desire for, it offers up an immense level of personal pleasure.

I was delighted to chat with Mark, an erotic writer who has kindly written a story called Hotel Soaking for FrolicMe about his personal kink for wet clothing on a girl and wanted to share in his own words his thoughts and feelings below.

“My personal kink is wet clothes on a girl. I’ve had it since before I knew what the feeling meant – no idea where it came from though I remember feeling a thrill as a child if it looked like a character on tv might be about to fall in a pool by accident.

Having thought about it over the years I think it’s a combination of two things. First there’s the obvious erotic image of a girl in clinging, transparent clothes. This has been a staple of softcore erotic photography for decades from the classic wet t shirt to the soapy lingerie sets popular in UK top shelf magazines in the 80s and 90s. The wet clothing accentuates the woman’s curves and the transparency reveals underwear or even the breasts without her actually taking off her clothes. Then there’s the shiny nature of the wet cloth which triggers a primal recognition of sweat and wetness in the same way red lipstick and blusher mimic female arousal. The droplets of water rolling down the cleavage are pretty significant too.

But the second element is the transgressive thrill. It’s one thing to get caught accidentally in the rain but it’s quite another to suddenly jump fully clothed into a pool, or join a man unexpectedly in his bath. That sends a message – even if it’s just ‘well I guess these clothes are coming off then’. There’s a delicious sense of abandon when a woman gets into water – not worrying about revealing her body or ruining her carefully controlled hair or outfit. “Screw it” she’s saying, “let’s do this”. If she does it slowly, for me personally, that’s more arousing than any striptease.

But it’s a subtle thing and in a world where straight pornography often seems focused on dropping the tease and any foreplay to cut straight to the usual list of positions and close ups of penetration perhaps wet clothes sex has no place? Is it too soft? Is it across the divide where porn and erotica become two different things?”

If you have a similar view, do feel free to share your thoughts below. Mark’s erotic story, Hotel Soaking will be published next.
