What sisters are good for

by Margy

The day after our first rubberised night together was spent in bed talking, with both of us trying on John’s raingear in various combinations, singularly, and in multiple, sometimes normally, sometimes back-to-front and inside out – wearing nothing else, natch! At first I felt very self-conscious, and John was obviously very cautious about overstepping any of my personal boundaries, but as we talked, dressed, undressed, experimented and enjoyed, we began to relax – this was something that obviously gave much pleasure to the both of us.

Up to then I didn’t realise how many items he had in his rainmac collection! A list might be of interest here (as best as I can remember it):

1. Navy rubberised cotton boy’s double-breasted raincoat (John’s old school coat) – very heavy material – now a bit small, even for me when I tried it on! It had a flaking rubber lining and had obviously seen much (ab)use in its lifetime!
2. Navy rubberised cotton girl’s raincoat, (his sister’s) – bigger, with a rubberised hood and in better condition than John’s – a most significant coat for him, as I will relate!
3. Grey nylon man’s raincoat with brown rubber lining  – a new one for me, I had never seen it before
4. Green nylon man’s raincoat with brown rubber lining – but with heavier gauge material than the grey one and with a most wonderful aroma – this was one of our favourites. I had got to wear it once or twice before.
5. Green nylon raincoat with hood and green rubber lining – made by Primet – a nice coat – very light and easy to wear, with lovely smooth rubber inside – very swishy!
6. Navy rainsuit (top and bottom) with light blue rubber lining – made by Abruzzi (correct naming?) - this was the rainsuit that was hanging next to the door when I first visited his flat and the start of something different!
7. Orange motorcyclist’s rainsuit (top and bottom) – the rubber inside was a bit tacky – I had worn this one before during our various walks, but it never smelt “right” – too artificial and it was never a favourite of mine.
8. Green rainsuit (top and bottom) of a heavy material with brown rubber lining – made by Primet – with buttons on the front of the top, no zip. Hood had a peak above eyes. Also not a favourite of mine – the rubber smell was also too artificial.
9. Navy rainsuit with black rubber lining – also made by Primet – exactly the same as above – but with a lovely smell, more so than the green one for some strange reason!
10. Olive green poncho with hood – brown rubber lining – large and very, very surrounding when worn. Extremely useful as a groundsheet for picnics.
11. Lightweight blue nylon poncho with grey rubber lining – also a new introduction to me that day.
12. Navy rubberised SouWester rain hat.

… and, of course, there was my wonderful black rainsuit made by Primet – with smooth black rubber inside, a really marvellous aroma and also very light, swishy and sexy! At one stage I put all of them on, pulled everything tight, and felt (and looked) like the Michelin man – but the sensation of being enveloped in all that rubber was just sooo good!

Like me, John had never revealed this deepest of secrets to anyone, so we were rather hesitant in talking at first. John said that as he got to know me, he started to have a slight inkling that the wearing of rubberised rainwear might be turn-on for me, but he was never sure - a tantalising thought, or was it just wishful thinking on his part?  (Of course, just the idea of me being enveloped in rubber every time I wore one of his rainmacs was a real turn-on for him!) It was only when he caught me sniffing away at the coats in his cupboard that day that he knew that something was definitely afoot. It was a real shock that his girlfriend (of all people!) might even “enjoy” rubber (maybe that’s why we hit it off in the first place?)… and even then he was not 100% certain of what I actually felt  - was it the way that he did? How could he approach me about this without scaring me off? The gift of the black Primet suit was an acid test of my inclinations – and, he admitted, had I not reacted the way I had, he would not have tried to anything like that again! So, what a relief for him! I too, admitted to being thankful for the way things had worked out…

We started relating our first experiences. John’s story was quite revealing. He had an older sister, who, as it turned out, used to dominate him unmercifully. They had grown up in England where the standard rubber-lined mackintosh was commonly available and this is what they both had. They had seen a magic show on TV in which someone had escaped from a straight-jacket and she decided this would be a wonderful game to play with her younger brother – and guess what was used for the straight-jacket? John had been persuaded to sit on a chair, the promise being that if he could escape, she would hand over a week’s pocket money! She then covered him with her rainmac back-to-front with his arms tucked inside. After buttoning the mac over him and the back of the chair, she had tied a belt around his waist, trapping his arms. She had also tied his legs so he could not move.

But this was not all!  The hood was then pulled up over John’s face and tied tightly in place. He was now trapped in its dark rubbery world - he vividly remembers it puffing in and out and sticking to his face - it was suffocating him! Despite him begging her, she would not loosen it and just laughed at him. He started to panic and eventually wet himself… only after this did his sister let him go and they quickly cleaned up. He was mortally ashamed of what had happened and as his sister did not want to get into trouble it was agreed that the whole episode would be kept a secret – and it was never mentioned again between the two of them. But the seeds of something else had been planted and wearing a rainmac, even his own, was never quite the same for John again…
