A fetish in which tight-fitting neoprene garments, typically worn for diving or surfing, produce sexual arousal or intense sensory satisfaction.
The appeal usually comes from the material itself: the snug compression, the rubbery smell, the smooth texture, and the way a wetsuit hugs and reshapes the body. Some people are drawn to the full-body encasement and warmth, while others enjoy the aquatic or sporty context that surrounds the garment.
Worth knowing: Because wetsuits are designed to be tight and trap heat, prolonged wear, especially in warm settings or during intense activity, can lead to overheating or restricted breathing, so paying attention to comfort and removing the suit when needed matters.
Also called: neoprene fetish, rubber suit fetish, surfsuit fetish, diving suit fetish, lycra suit fetish, zentai, encasement
