Leather subculture
Leather subculture is a community centered around leather clothing, fetish fashion and alternative lifestyles. It is closely associated with BDSM, Leather bars and other fetish communities, although many people enjoy leather simply as a style or identity rather than a sexual interest. Common leather gear includes jackets, vests, boots, harnesses, chaps, gloves and caps. The modern leather scene grew out of post-war motorcycle culture and the gay leather community, but today it includes people of all genders and sexual orientations. Leather-themed parties, clubs an some escorts, brothels and fetish studios cater specifically to people interested in leather and BDSM.
Leather Fetish
Leather fetish is a fetish involving sexual attraction to leather clothing such as jackets, trousers, boots, harnesses and other leather gear. It has a particularly long history in gay culture and is often connected with the Leather subculture, BDSM, domination and biker culture.
Leather fetish is often seen in porn, fetish clubs and sex clubs, and some cities have dedicated leather bars and events. Leather gear is also popular with some dominatrixes, male escorts and other fetish-friendly escorts.
