Dressing For Pleasure

Take a look at this amazing video from 1977 I just found over at 3xl

I remember watching this on the TV in my bedroom when I was a kid with the volume turned down, ears straining for any sound that my parents were about to walk in (which they frequently did) and my finger hovering over the off-button, ready to switch it off. I most have only been in my early teens (during the early 90s) just as my interest in rubber was awakening and no doubt this film made a big impact on me too.
Seeing it again, I'm amazed at how detailed and informative it was without being judgmental or sensational. Amazing too that this film is older than I am!

OMG that was interesting. It was like watching one of those educational short films your schoolteacher would show you in class. Of course the emphasis was on women--I don't think rubber fetishism was masculinized by the gay community until much more recently, as kinky gay men at the time almost exclusively identified with leather.

It's truly fascinating stuff, isn't it? Technical question, though: how did you resize the embedded video to fit neatly onto your blog, Foxzatt? I'd like to link to it too but can't seem to manage it.
