Issue No. 32 of MASCULAR Magazine was about WET.

Guest Editor: Randy Addison

Inviting and dangerous in equal measure - getting wet is always an adventure. Something out of the ordinary. We naturally jump back the moment we expect to be splashed. Is it to protect our clothing? Somehow that doesn’t seem to be right - it’s almost an instinctive response to avoiding getting wet. We get splashed by a passing car, the skies open up in a sudden downpour or we spill a glass of water on the table - a few moments pass, and then our shoulders relax. There… it wasn’t that bad after all. And then there are those situations where wetness is desirable and even erotic. A pool of water can bring about deep feelings of relaxation and comfort, even if we never set foot in it. The potential and prospect of getting wet is enough. When you can’t control getting wet, and it just happens, there is a point where you give in and enjoy the sensation. Fluids on skin have their own special form of sensuality. We speak of “sliding into a bath” - and “the silkiness of a warm shower” etc. These are wonderful sensations that we seek. Under the right conditions, on our own terms, we like being wet.
