Much has been said here about how we first got into WAM. I'd like to talk about something similar, but a bit different. What was the first substance you were turned on by? Was it water, mud, pies, gunge, food? For me, it was wetlook. I would see a girl/women soaked with her clothes on, and I would say to myself, "Wow, that's neat!" Mud was next, followed by the other stuff.
Summer before my freshmen year in high school I ended up mud wrestling with this hot girl. Realized I liked mud wrestling, and searched AOL about mud wrestling. Discovered wam-tec and some other very very very websites and a whole new world was opened too me.
After that, flour+water would have been my next substance.
For me it was water/wetlook for a long time even without knowing about WAM. At some point I tried yoghurt as my first messy substance and so my WAM fetish officially started because it was a real turn on for me. :devil:
For me it was wet. About seventh grade I was outdoors in gym class wearing very short pants made of thin white cotton. A rain storm came up quickly and the thin fabric became almost transparent and of course the shorts clung to me. I was aware that everyone could see my boner. I was embarrassed but turned on too.
I always loved messy stuff as a kid, especially gunge on TV, but it was custard that turned me on to WAM as a fetish. I was looking for wetlook stuff online when I happened to stumble across a picture set of a naked woman pouring custard over her head. I never looked back.
Pretty sure it was Baked Beans. I remember drawing a picture of a woman having buckets of beans poured over her, must have been about 5 or 6 years old. I also remember hiding it from my mum, and being really embarrassed at the thought of her seeing it. No idea where I'd seen it or what gave me the idea. I can't be sure, but I'm fairly certain it was shortly after that that I first encountered the whole pie-in-the-face thing and found that also had a strange appeal to me (ie it wasn't 'funny' so much as... fascinating and a little bit uncomfortable).
Of about 9 or 10, I was awaiting a school master to referee our foortball match. It was a very wet day with torrential rail and my much too small and thin white cotton unlined short, shorts went completely transparent and I never wore underwear, you could see my erect willy (and other lads too), clear as if I was not wearing anything at all. We then played a very slippery and muddy match, getting very muddy indeed. Afterwards, I caught my normal bus home, muddy as I was. No one wanted to site near me! I loved being very wet and showing it all and still do.
I forgot to say that on this day I had also my first proper orgasm, so it was extra special. I climaxed while sitting astride a goal post pole which excited my anus and prostate and I couldn't stop cumming.
Never have I been a mud or quicksand guy, but when I was a young boy, maybe 7 or 8, I caught the episode of The Dukes of Hazzard where Daisy got into some quicksand and slowly started sinking. I thought my heart was gonna beat out of my chest. From there it went to green slime a la YCDTOTV and pies a la WWYD, and that's where I've been ever since.
Mud, and also pies (like the Three Stooges or the occasional soap opera food fight), but only on TV as a kid. I didn't really like to get dirty myself, at least not until I had the opportunity to do it with a partner. The first substance I used with my girlfriend (now wife) was vegetable oil.
