Glove fetishism is a (sexual) fetish where an individual is obsessed and fixated by another or oneself wearing gloves on their hands. In some cases, the fetish is enhanced by the material of the glove, (e.g. leather, cotton, latex, satin, or nylon). Many times, the actions of a gloved hand are as arousing as the glove itself, for the glove provides a second skin, or in other words a fetishistic surrogate for the wearer's own skin. Subtle movements by the gloved fingers or hand in whole can provide the individual with a great visual stimulus and ultimately sexual arousal. The act of putting gloves on, or slipping them off the hands can also be a source of glove fetish fantasy.
Some glove fetishists prefer certain lengths, for example the opera-style ones, while others maybe just cuff length. Some also like them as a part of an outfit, such as the nurse, the policewoman (Japanese outfit), the maid and so forth.
While apart from their appearance some individuals go as far as using them on oneself or others as a form of sexual stimulation. More common for this are usually latex gloves, such as what doctors/nurses use for examination, while others prefer the household rubber glove. The appeal behind the household glove maybe due to the colours they come in but also offering what the latex examination gloves cannot. The household glove are thicker, some more than others depending on what their use is.
