Black latex gloves
Latex

Glove fetishism is a form of sexual fetishism referring to a sexual preoccupation with gloves of various kinds. People with this fetish experience arousal by the act of visualising, wearing or interaction with gloves. The fetish can be enhanced by the material of the glove (e.g., leather, cotton, latex, nitrile, PVC, satin or nylon). Often, the actions of a gloved hand are as arousing as the glove itself, because the glove provides a surrogate for the wearer's own skin.

Movements by the gloved fingers or the hand can provide the individual with a visual stimulus and sexual arousal. Glove fetishism may also coexist with hand fetishism. Many enjoy erotic spanking with gloves donned by the provider, which can be a large part of the fetish. Gloves are also used for fisting and sounding.

Males appear to have glove fetishes more often than females, or perhaps non-binary persons, do. Glove fetishists appear to make up a relatively small portion of the community.

There is a fetish called GOM, which stands for 'Glove Over Mouth', where a gloved hand is placed firmly over one's mouth and/or nose and is sometimes associated with breath control. This can be arousing to the giver and/or the receiver.
