I am starting this blog to detail my journey through my wetlook fetish and will eventually cover a lot of ground and hopefully answer a lot of the questions I am often asked in greater detail. In this particular part of the blog, I wish to cover why I feel that wetlook is a fetish and why it is so exciting to so many people, including me.

There is a reason that a director in a movie, television show, or series puts women in a position to get their clothes wet. I have seen entire sites or sections of sites completely dedicated to clips in media where women get wet. One clip that stands out to me is in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde" with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway where Ms. Dunaway was made to run through a water filled ditch while wearing a white dress. The director could have had her run anywhere, but he had her run through water. Why? And how many times do we see commercials, advertising, or billboards when the idea is to portray "sexy" where the woman is standing in the rain fully dressed? And as I wrote this, a commercial came on the tube for a perfume called Joy where the entire 30 seconds showed a hot woman in a wedding dress jumping into and swimming in a pool. Why is this sexy?

Here's my experience with the answer to that question.

I grew up on a lake and was attracted to wetlook very early in life. That story is for another blog entry, but let's just say for now that my mother sent me out to play in what she called "my play dresses". I am old enough to not only remember that scene in Bonnie and Clyde in 1967, but the first movie I saw on the big screen was in that same year, The Sound of Music, which happens to have an extraordinary wetlook scene. I also identified myself as bisexual in the first grade (more in another post) and just loved women from the start.

So it began at the lake and was solidified in the military. I did an 11 1/2 year stint in the military from the late '70's to the early '90's. At that time, few women served and almost all in administrative work. I started in various accounting positions and ended most of my career as an administrative assistant, often called an adjutant, for powerful men who were unit and eventually base commanders. We were expected to, and took great pride in, appearing very professional and ladylike in a crisp dress uniform at all times, and in those days, we all wore bras, panties, garter belts, stockings and slips. At all times.

For the record, many have asked about my wearing stockings and garters rather than pantyhose in the military. First off, pantyhose were relatively new and women needed a little coercing into exchanging their tried and true stockings for pantyhose... enter Joe Nameth in a commercial wearing pantyhose. But stockings had a more important role in the military. A run or tear meant that you were out of uniform, a very serious infraction. If you get a run or tear in pantyhose, you have to find a private spot, lift everything to your neck, and replace them. If you got a run in a stocking, you could discreetly hike a skirt and replace it behind a desk or even in public. Also, you could hide a single stocking in a bra, a pocket, in the top of your stocking under a skirt, or in a small purse where carrying around a pair of pantyhose was much more difficult. So stockings it was, and I loved it!

As someone attracted to women, I fully embraced the visual aspect of women's clothing. Let's face it, no matter how long a woman's skirt or dress is, you strive to see just a little bit more. I think everyone gets a thrill at seeing the lining of a skirt, just a little more flesh, the wonderful lace slip peeking through, the tops of stockings, or the holy grail, the tops of stockings with a garter strap! Such a thrill! After my stint in the military where every man and most women got the same thrill (and I enjoyed "accidentally" showing these things!) I spent decades in an office environment. First as a bookkeeper, then in accounting, as a secretary, executive assistant, office manager, operations manager, and eventually comptroller. I was constantly around, interacting with, and meeting with contemporaries and coworkers, almost always impeccably dressed.

How many times did I get that thrill from seeing a rising hemline when a woman sat down, got out of a car, stood up, or bent over? How many times did I see a bra, a slip, or both through that little space between buttons on a blouse? Always a thrill! So here I was wearing skirts, blouses, office outfits, dresses, and business suits for decades, surrounded by the same, and then going home and soaking them. In my 20's, I started saying to myself, "get it wet" every time I saw a nice outfit on a woman. I say it today out loud and in my head to the TV, a movie screen, or in public so many times it would be my catch phrase if I were a comedian lol!

So why wet? I have a girlfriend for over 5 years now. I am semi-retired and live in a secluded home on 40 wooded acres, most of you know that. And I walk around the house and decks in slips, camisoles, house dresses, and very often, fully dressed in the outfit I intend on wetting later in the day. I sleep in slips and camisoles every single night. My girlfriend sees me and often asks, "What's underneath baby? Give me a peek!". It's not enough for her to see me constantly in a slip, she wants to know what's underneath, just like I do when I see a hot woman in the perfect professional outfit. Is she wearing a slip? What color is it? Is there lace at the bottom? The top? Is she wearing a bra? If so, what color is it? Is it lacy? Is she wearing stockings and garters or pantyhose? Is she wearing panties? Thongs? What color are they? Or is she wearing none at all? I want a peek dammit! Get it wet!!!

We are all voyeurs, we are all peeping toms, we all want to see what we were never meant to see. We poke around someone's medicine cabinet, we all scour someone's home when we visit, we all want to look in our partners diary, and men and bi women all want to see that little bit of slip at the hemline, or a stocking top, or that peek down a blouse that we were never meant to see. And that is exactly what wetlook is all about.

If I want to see a naked woman, I will log onto Pornhub or ask my girlfriend to undress. Wetlook has nothing to do with sex. It has everything to do with that taboo of seeing what we were never meant to see. It is a fetish, an obsession for many of us. When my girlfriend wants to know what's underneath the thick orange vintage slip I love to wear around the house, I can either take it off, or get it wet. I prefer to get it wet!

Wet clothes show what was never meant to be shown. It steals a woman's privacy and hugs every inch of her body revealing her true shape, all without showing a thing. White slips and blouses go transparent, a thick skirt will show the satin lining, the slip or garters and stockings underneath. You can now tell how big and what color her nipples are, if she is shaved or lightly cropped down there, what color the bra is, if it is lacy or not, if she's wearing a slip or camisole and whether or not it is laced at the top or bottom. Wetlook steals a woman's privacy and shows what women go to great lengths to hide... their bodies and their sexy underthings, all while keeping things clean, G-rated, and allowing the woman to keep her modesty.

Wetlook is a form of voyeurism, as exciting to see as that extra two inches of thigh when a woman sits down, or her panty lines when she bends over, or her stocking tops when she gets out of a car. Yet she remains fully clothed and remains "clean". She remains a good girl while showing her most intimate things.

Wetlook is the ultimate tease. It shows everything without showing anything. It appeals to the voyeur in us all. We instinctively know this, and that is why the makers of Joy perfume were presented with a variety of advertising options but went with a woman swimming in a semi transparent wedding gown. It's perverted enough to turn anyone on, but classy enough to be shown in prime time. Wetlook plays a trick on the mind and allows the most prim and proper of us to do something dirty while maintaining all propriety. We get to be pervs without perving. We get to see what we wanted to see without a woman doing something dirty. It's seeing a naked woman with her clothes on. Let's face it... like Superman's X-ray vision, it is a superpower that we all have. Any time we want, anywhere we want. You wetlookers are all Supermen and you all have X-ray vision!

So that is my take on wetlook, but is not necessarily why I do it regularly, almost every day. I take photos and make videos because I know what it does to others and because I want to share that it is harmless and socially acceptable, and I will admit that for over 5 decades, I have always known what wet clothes do to others. I perfected the art of accidentally allowing my stocking tops to be seen, or allowing a valet to see my panties when getting out of a car, or knowing that a man or woman can see my garters through a dress or skirt a long time ago. I know what is under my dress, or skirt, or business suit, yet I get my clothes wet all the time. Though it is still visually exciting to see my panties miraculously appear as I sit in a tub full of water or while taking a shower, there are much bigger, much more powerful reasons why I do it constantly.

I do it for three reasons: when I want to feel sexy; when I'm feeling decadent; and when I want to relax. It is a way of life for me and has been since I was very young. I will explore those in my next blog post.

Until then, life is good! Be happy and stay wet!
