I was wondering if any of you know of statistics that show how many people are attracted to the WAM fetish. Certainly, wet t-shirt contests and mud wrestling are very popular events at night clubs!
I think WAMTEC Mark had some metrics for this. I don't remember what the number is, but it's embarassingly small. Maybe like 100k or so of us in the world that get off on this.
If you put a post up asking for WAM to be defined here, you'd get multiple different answers. The same would apply to most kinks - ask someone if they have a latex fetish, they think bloke in a gimp suit and say no, show them Britney in the red catsuit and they remember fantasising over her. Is a shared shower fun or WAM? The general perception of WAM is cold and eurrgh. Whereas the reality tends to be a bit warmer and much nicer. There's undoubtedly many more than are members here, simply because they don't identify with it, or haven't gone looking for it.
Amusingly, having recently joined the latex fashion tv patreon, I'm catching up on their uploads and there's a fun one from a Zara de Rose party of Lolly Lightning and Black Magma Fire performing a space themed latex show with UV paint - I would suspect if you carried out a poll in that room few would identify with WAM, until you point out that the two girls covering one another in paint is WAM... (of course some would say it isn't WAM as they aren't wearing socks, or a wristwatch, there isn't a plastic chair, or pies, or mud, or they didn't say "I don't know, look at the camera a bit then feign surprise when slime drops on them and rather than move away look up into it...)

I'm not sure but I know at least for myself 3 people
I suppose it's all about definitions really. How many folk are there who love Laurel and Hardy films? Millions I reckon and L&H did a fair bit of slapstick. Now whether having seen an L&H film they'd want to copy the scene is another thing.
WAM is quite a wide "church", you have the above mentioned L&H whose films involved water and sometimes food but are entirely suitable for children to watch while many of the videos and pictures on here are not in anyway suitable for kids!
Mild WAM is very popular on television, look at how many folk did the "Ice Bucket Challenge", but those of us who are really into getting sploshed are a much rarer breed.
That depends on how you define "us", now doesn't it?
If by "us", you mean people who enjoy getting messy and/or watching others do the same in a variety of circumstances, probably more out there in the wild than you might first expect, so long as you include in that grouping those who may not recognize it as a fetish per se.
And then it narrows down from there. If by "us", you mean guys who enjoy seeing and joining in with attractive women who find it fun/arousing to dress up in formal wear and then destroy it by playing in the mud together, who also enjoy gun collecting/shooting, who are politically conservative and vehemently anti-communist but who are also somewhat libertarian on many social issues and who are quite open-minded on religious matters and stolen/lost history questions, who enjoy good debates about the origins of humanity, who also like older cars and motorcycles, and who hold onto traditional but dying ideals like honor, etc.
then the list probably narrows down a wee bit, even around here.
Point is, we are all alone on some level, and we can all find something in common with many others as well. It just really depends on both how you define "us", and how much you are willing to try and search for some common ground with the "thems" in your world. I suppose that can be determined by just how well you can deal with the idea of being alone in the world, as to just how far you are willing to reach across the aisle?
