Kaiser's Weird World Weekly: Paraphilia I - The German rubber-boot fetishism

Paraphilia (in Greek para παρά = besides and -philia φιλία = love) is a biomedical term used to describe sexual arousal to objects or situations that are not part of normative stimulation [...]. The view of paraphilias as disorders is not universal. Groups seeking greater understanding and acceptance of sexual diversity have lobbied for changes to the legal and medical status of unusual sexual interests and practices.

Even though I’m just a girl born in a rural area I know that one of the most common parafilias is the foot- or shoe-fetishism. It’s easy to understand that a beautiful foot with red toenails can inspire a man’s fantasy, and the feet on the foto, surely sweating in transparent rubber-boots, can definitely call a sane person's attention.

But what follows is slightly different.

Some years ago, I was looking for an online shop to buy funny rubber-boots for a friend of mine. First, I looked up the word “rubber-boots” and found quite a lot of shops. But when using the German word, “Gummistiefel”, I discovered a new world of paraphilia. I was so astonished by the Google results, that I repeated the search several times during the last years.

And always the first pages that appeared were foto galleries of normal people posing in normal rubber-boots.

I discovered several “currents” of the rubber-boot paraphilia. First of all, the English speaking fetishists are more what we would expect from such people – sexy girls with sexy rubber- or latex-boots, sometimes semi-nude, sometimes naked and engaged in sexual activity. Pah, too boring, I said! But the Germans – they are really weird!!
What they are interested in is just normal, ordinary rubber-boots, the black or khaki-green ones, the ones used in cow stables or in fishery. No lipsticks or bodybuilders or high heels or bikinis – nothing of that stuff that would make us understand the use of these working boots.
Actually quite innocent, I said at the beginning. But maybe not for them, I suppose now.

Rubber-boot fetishists can be men or women, hetero- or homosexuals. Male hetero German-type rubber-fetishists may get excited simply at the sight of a female wearing her working boots or taking a walk in her dark-green gum-boots.

A guy writes in a forum: “I love your fotos of girls in rubber boots, even though I feel more attracted by ... balloons.” Well… that’s another story.

In a rubber-boot website I even found erotic stories: A man walking through a forest on a Sunday afternoon meets a middle-aged woman sitting on a bench. Her rubber-boots call his attention. He get’s very excited at the sight of the rubber pleats and folds and of the area where the rubber-boot ends and the leg (in totally unerotic trousers, of course) starts. The woman says: "So, you are a fetishist?" And she touches his cheek with her ... rubber-gloved hand!!! Of course the guy almost suffers a heart attack.

Some like clean boots, but most of the fetishists love the combination of rubber and mud, or muddy water. Girls wearing rubber-boots up to their waists are one of the favorites. I'm quite sure that these two young girls on the foto don't suspect at all that one of their friends or neighbors who went fishing with them one day, published their foto in THAT context (and now I do it, as well).

When watching the following video I have to admit that the sound of the muddy boots may have a slightly erotic component for some people. That’s what most of the rubber-boot-in-mud videos have in common. And of course the lascivious way of moving their legs.

People commented on this video:

aline40:
“I love these green rubber boots with skirt. Have you ever flooded them?”
joannbar85:
“Rubber Boots Fan, not just black but COLORS. Very earthy and sexy. Especially when being worn and combined with water and squishy.

It’s really amazing how the guy on this second video is able to put on his ugly working boots in such an erotic way. The guy who is shooting the scene get’s really excited, stretching his legs when the “actor” pulls the boots up to his knees. Want to know the end of the story?

But the weirdest page I found was www.gummistiefel.net - a page for gay farmer perverts. It’s basically a website for men who have been working on their farms for years (or generation), milking their cows, cleaning the septic tanks, being dirty the whole day. No nudes, of course!
I think something similar as to priests and prisoners may have happened to them: they probably adapt their sexuality to their environment, deprived of what we would consider normal sexual stimuli. I mean, how can you explain this stuff otherwise? Especially the latex guy milking his cows is kind of, I don’t know what to say.

But can anybody tell me why this is basically a German thing? What’s going on on German farms? When visiting one, be careful – they may ask you to put on visitor’s boots to enter the cots and then publish your foto in one of these websites…

I also found a post in a forum where a hetero guy says: "I suffer from a specific form of rubber-boot paraphilia. I get excited when I see girls working in cow stables, wearing black and dirty boots". Of course this man spends every weekend in the countryside and is member of several farmer clubs, he admits.

So, next time you do some field work – pay attention on how you put on your boots. And be careful – your flatmate may get too excited!!!

I’m looking forwards to reading your comments and see you next month with more weird paraphilias!
