Have you ever experienced a strange desire to touch objects like balloons, rubber gloves, or even condoms? Our film “Rubber” explores these not-so-uncommon desires by delving into the kinky world of rubber. With everything from balloons, to condoms, to dental dams, to dildos, this film has everything you need to explore this fantasy. Let’s see what we can learn from this film.

What you can learn:

  • Sex doesn’t have to be serious to be hot – it can be silly too!
  • Textures are an important sensory component of sex that are often neglected
  • Rubber and kink can be incorporated in all parts of intimacy

Here are some themes covered in Rubber that may have noticed:

  • Absurdity can help play into the fantasy 
  • Safe sex
  • Sensory play is a major aspect of kink

Rubber kinks

Let’s start with the obvious – rubber! While this may have seemed like an interesting focus to the film, rubber is actually an extremely common sensory-based kink. It is closely related to PVC fetishism, which is the attraction to material made of the synthetic plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC). If you enjoyed the film, you probably already know what’s super hot about rubber. Most people are drawn to latex and rubber due to its super tight and skin-like appearance. It looks good on anyone! The often restrictive nature of latex also possesses a bondage component to it. Not to mention, the smell, texture, and colorful potential rubber is an inherent draw to some. 

Are you looking to try out rubber but don’t have access to a rubber dreamland like the film? Us too. Some ways to incorporate rubber into your sex life include:

  • Wearing rubber clothing: Try out latex suits, dresses, masks, or gloves.
  • Bondage and toys: Invest in bondage gear made from rubber, or even toys that have a rubber appearance, like a silicone dildo.
  • Sensory play: Engage with the texture, smell, and sound of rubber. 
  • Attend events: Check out local fetish parties or gatherings to find other like-minded kinky folks. 

Kinky Sapphic Sex

Did you know lesbians get kinky too? Lesbian porn has a reputation for being a little basic. After all, most sapphic erotica is produced by and for other men. Therefore, most films that feature lesbian sex feature some routine making out, eating out, and fingering. In Rubber, however, we see how sapphic intimacy can be so much more. Additionally, we explore “rubber” play in this film, which is not a common porn trope – especially with sapphic couples. This makes Rubber an extra special film. 

If you’re an afterglow regular, you know that Kali Sudhra has been featured in many of our films, including “Love Your Cunt.” She has a pattern of starring in women-forward sapphic films, which is why we love her. Beyond being a wlw film, could you tell this film was made by and for women? What about it didn’t feel fetishy or gross to you?

Dental dams

Rubber is not only a super hot film, but also actively promotes safe sex! One more obvious way the film promotes safe sex is in the beginning of the film, when Kali and Maria are looking for a condom. However, did you notice that Maria uses a thin sheet of latex when eating out Kali? This is a dental dam, which is a safe sex tool used to prevent the spread of STIs. They can also be used when performing a rim job on the anus. Most dental dams are flavored, meaning it can also provide a fun sensory experience when performing oral!

When it comes to lesbians, the conversation around safe sex is often neglected. However, the truth is that even vulvas can transmit STIs. Dental dams are an excellent way to protect yourself and your partner when engaging in oral sex. Because dental dams aren’t the easiest to find, remember that you can always cut a condom in half and spread it out for a DIY dental dam!

Did you notice?

  • Did you see how regular items like balloons and pool toys suddenly become sexy? What else in your house has sexy potential?
  • Condoms are usually considered to be products only for men. Did you know that lesbians use them too?
