another thing you can do is wear your spandex, but not go full on with it. like wearing a spandex under armour t-shirt with regular shorts or jeans or sweatpants. wearing leggings under shorts with a regular t-shirt for your gym outfit or hiking or other active things. that way it shows that you like it & they might even ask about it, & you can just say that you enjoy the look & feel of it, without at first saying that you really get off on it.
its really hard having a fetish like this, & i've found out that for the most part, people that dont share our fetish just totally don't get it, & there's nothing you can really do about it. it just doesnt trip their trigger. & it's frustrating for us. but some guys will still like how it shows off your body, or parts of it, even if it means they want to get it off of you as soon as they can for play. if you get into a relationship with a guy, you can eventually explain that you just really get off on this stuff & it really turns you on & makes sex better & more intense. & a good partner i think will be ok with you wearing it, & might even wear something for you, just as part of being a good play partner & doing it bc they know it gives you pleasure, even if they aren't totally into it.
I completely agree with you. Introduce lycra gradually, and gauge his receptivity to it. I think your approach will have a lot to do with how your partner (for lack of a better term) responds. Men, and even amongst gay men, seem to have a widely held but unspoken belief that lycra is somehow only for skeletal youngsters, or women's swimwear/athletic wear. Breaking through an entrenched idea takes time, and a tactful, measured approach.
I will say that at that point when the subject of sex and sexual likes is being discussed, if I'm asked, I'm completely open about my fondness for lycra and the intense erotic appeal that it holds for me. I also make sure to communicate that as much as I enjoy it, I don't require it in order to have sex. I don't think it's a wise move to have this discussion with a man quickly upon meeting and getting acquainted, but it should occur sooner instead of later. Sexual compatability is definitely a key component in whether anything beyond a very casual relationship will develop. I realize that sounds terribly shallow, but I can attest from personal experience that it's true.
All men are different, so when you've known each other for a little while, and the conversation turns to the subject of sex, I think it's best to be honest about your erotic likes and triggers.
