Latex fetishism sometimes involves dressing up in the material; looking at it worn by sexual partners; or fantasies sometimes wearers of [[skin-tight]] or other latex garments, such as [[Underwater diving|divers]] and workers wearing industrial protective clothing. Another common stereotype is of the image of a [[dominatrix]] wearing a skin-tight, usually jet-black, latex or PVC [[catsuit]].

Some latex enthusiasts are also turned on by the wearing of draped latex garments, such as cloaks. Other rubber paraphernalia, such as [[wet suit]]s, [[gas mask]]s, [[splash suit]]s, [[Mackintosh]]es, [[galoshes]], [[Wellington boot]]s, [[rubber pants|rubber]]/[[plastic pants]], and [[diapers]] are also often added to the scenario. Heavier fetishists often attempt duplicating all kinds of "everyday wear" into a rubber counterpart. Some PVC enthusiasts are turned on by PVC hazmat suits and other forms of industrial [[protective clothing]].

For hygienic reasons, many [[sex toy]]s such as [[dildo]]s and [[butt plug]]s are made from rubber or similar materials, and this is also a factor in rubber fetishism. Some rubber fetishists are also [[medical fetishism|medical fetishists]] or have an interest in [[klismaphilia]]; [[medical gloves]] and [[catheter]]s are made from latex, as are [[condom]]s.

A substantial industry exists to produce specialist latex or rubber [[fetish clothing]] garments for rubber enthusiasts.

Many latex or rubber clothes appear on websites such as eBay, and in recent years clothes made in PVC have been prevalent in young people's fashions, particularly in jackets, skirts and trousers. Several mainstream designers have made latex clothing.

A number of [[fetish magazine]]s have been published on the subject of rubber and PVC fetishism, including ''[[AtomAge]]'', ''Dressing for Pleasure'', ''[[Marquis (magazine)|Marquis]]'', ''[[«O»]]'', ''Shiny International'', and ''[[Skin Two]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-08-23 |title=3 Legendary Fetish Magazines: Skin Two, Marquis, SECRET |url=http://www.sinicalmagazine.com/component/content/article/42-blogs/565-legendaryfetishmagazines |access-date=2023-11-15 |archive-date=23 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170823022351/http://www.sinicalmagazine.com/component/content/article/42-blogs/565-legendaryfetishmagazines |url-status=dead }}</ref>
