Then again perhaps you'd prefer something a little harder, a little darker - a few lashes of the whip, perhaps? Whatever your preferences the UK fetish leaders, Skin Two, provide. For the uninitiated the fetish and SM club scene is for people who like to dress in rubber, leather, PVC, stiletto heels and other sorts of fetish clothes. It's also for people who enjoy consensual submission/dominance, bondage, sadomasochism and power play as part of their sexuality. For the initiated, it's a world of fantasy in which to escape the mundanity of real life, a dark world where the possibilities are endless. For most of us, however, it's just a damn good place to check some beautiful women doing their thang.

For the past fourteen years Skin Two has been covering the art, fashion, nightlife and news of the fetish scene. Along the way they've spawned a rubberwear shop and clothing label, one of the UK's most popular web sites, and the world's largest celebration of fetish glamour, the Skin Two Rubber Ball. Not bad, huh? The most high profile fetish organisation in the world, Skin Two's mainstay is the globally distributed magazine, called -surprise, surprise- Skin Two. But in reality that's just the start.

There are other wicked and naughty spin-offs like their kinky hi-tech CD-Roms, as well as their sexy fetish fashion catalogues, excellently produced videos and a whole load more. The super glossy magazine is packed with fetish shots by world famous photographers and tales of kinky dominatrixs' antics from around the globe, crafted by highly skilled writers. The whole operation smacks of class and seductive, highly polished designer sex. Check it out: I defy you not to enjoy it!!!!! And remember this is only a teaser, just a little taster of what's available. Believe you me, this is the watered down version, it gets much, much harder and much, much darkerà à..Ever wondered where to head for that full-length PVC dress with optional rubber gas mask or that vicious looking whip you saw in your dreams? Well, now you know. Spanking good stuff!
