I’m not making fun, I’m not trying to insult. I just didn’t know there was a market for such things. Interesting.

Dan Savage, in his “Savage Love” sex-advice column, discussed the mask fetish in a recent column (link contains descriptions of sex, no pictures). And for the record, his column the following week contained a retraction of the original advice he gave.

The mask fetish was news to me too.

Oh man! If there were a Sailor Moon mask…

That reminds me of that really odd masked anime webcam creature. That just freaks the hell out of me.

I’m not judgemental due to having worked for so long in the adult retail industry. It’s just that it is humanly impossible to know about EVERY fetish that exists. It’s amazing the variety of stuff people enjoy. Personally, those masks sort of creep me out but so do clowns. I also don’t dig on occular fetishes (example), such as licking of the eyeball but some people do it. Unless, it involves harming a child in ANY WAY or sex with animals, I’m not going to judge. I also recently heard about cosplay and that whole world. I don’t think it any different than people who are into SCA or getting dressed up for Renfests. Variety is truly the spice of life…

Katharine Gates appears to have gathered several in one place.

Somewhere I have an encyclopedia of fetishes and sexual practices for a paper I wrote for school, got an A+. :smiley:

After looking at that picture I now feel that Angelina Jolie must wear one of those things constantly, dontcha think? Looks a lot like her!

This gallery of dozens and dozens of female masks was featured on memepool not too long ago.

This one needs work, I think.

Warning – if you click around that gallery site for long enough, you may stumble across, uh, simulated nudity, which may be NSFW, I guess

Whoa… umm, just whoa.

You couldn’t have told me this BEFORE I bought the Bozo suit, floppy shoes, latex mask, and spent hours practicing licking ping pong balls?

PING PONG balls!?

I thought they said KING KONG’S balls!

[/pfhit]

For some reason those masks make me think of Silence of the Lambs

Stop making me think of scary things before bedtime, people.

It puts the lotion on its skin.

Now, I’m wondering about the people that make these masks. I wonder when it started exactly. I guess both men and women are “masking”? Any Dopers do this? Am I asking too many questions to cover up my nervousness?

Say, **SanguineSpider[/b[, are you about a size 14?

Hm. Clearly not. Nevermind.

Frankly, after some of the fetishes I’ve seen on the 'net, masking seems kind of cute.

Whoa—small world!

I know one of the guys who runs this site. Pretty well, as a matter of fact (though I am remiss in emailing him! I need to do that. guilt guilt).

He’s a regular kind of guy—married, loves watching sports, very bright and creative—a really cool guy. Shrug I can’t speak for anyone else who likes to wear masks like this. In the case of my friend, it seems like a pretty harmless thing. (I do tease him about it, though. But hey—his wife is okay with it and he’s a great guy, so what’s the big deal?)
