I have always been interested in bodypainting. From the time I was 10 years old, I don't think I have ever grown up and stopped doing it. In fact, I have grown to take advantage of the technology today and display myself coated in layers of paint to be exposed and humiliated.

When I was young I had always loved to come home from school and sneakily take the a bottle of white paint and smear it all over my hands. Back then we wore canvas shoes where you can "spruce it up" by painting them over with white paint. I took it one step further and painted my hands too. I never had gotten caught, because I was way too scared to keep it on for more than ten minutes. At the time, I was grossly fascinated by the fact I could paint my hands in different colours and not worry about staining them.

Surprisingly Halloween was not my favourite time of the year as it would be a great excuse to go out in public with my face painted. Its probably because I was too shy for my own good. Besides, back then, grease paint or those cheap face paints in a tube were literally the only options I had at the local drug store or Walmart. As I entered high school indeed grease paint was the only option, other than the odd house paint. I didn't like grease paint because it was just, well, too greasy. The paint also didn't coat my face enough without a huge slathering of paint all over my face. And besides, it was a bitch to remove as well. There had been many a times where I was caught with paint by my parents, which of course was never fun because I felt the embarrassment of painting my face. They claim I was bored. Perhaps that is true, but it was also my increasing obsession with painting my face.

My the end of high school, technology really allowed me to explore my own fetish with some sense of secrecy on the web. Yahoo Groups was probably one of the first places I ever explored looking for facepaint and bodypaint photos to admire. I joined a couple of groups devoted to such topics, and quickly I developed friendships along the way. In fact, those same friendships still exists today many years later. It was during this time where my obsession with bodypainting really started. I had a used a variety of different kinds of paint such as house latex paint which was cheap and easy to obtain. I had bought my first can where standing in front of the bathroom mirror and standing in the bathtub. The instant the body was coated in the first layer, I felt this sense of erotism. It was sensual and amazing. To be coated in so much paint was a dream. The second type of paint I used was liquid latex, where the concept of bodypainting as an erotic way to get off really took off. As the use of liquid latex was just starting to take off as the latest bodypaint fad in the late 1990s, I realized that this was no turning back for me. Bodypainting was going to be a huge part of my life.

By university, I had gotten the whole concept of paint cleanup down to an art. I had this "100 point checkup" much like taking your car to the dealership for car maintenance. After every paint session, I would grab the hand mirror and do the inspection. "Ears? Check. Eyes? Check. Neck? Ooops I missed a spot". It also helped that my primary go-to paint was liquid latex. It was easy to remove and oh it felt so fricken good. Liquid latex was my drug, having done half a dozen sessions per year, coating my entire body in black liquid latex. It was easy to clean up since it would come off in large sheets. What I really loved about liquid latex was the awesome feeling of being encased in black rubber all over my body. It felt good to be coated in liquid latex, even if it did involve a lot of pain since I had hairy legs and was too lazy to shave it off. Liquid latex became a significant part of my life, so much so that I would try to do a full day bodypaint session when I can, even if I had just a couple of hours. I also had the opportunity to meet a few people local who were into liquid latex, and had the opportunity to be in a video where I was filmed being coated in liquid latex. The short version is still there on YouTube today.

Today, bodypaint is at a whole new level for me. Living alone certainly has its benefits, where I can bodypaint whenever I want. But not only that, I now have the confidence to post photos of me covered in paint head to toe on either UMD or on Facebook. But that is another story...
