Leather clothing is often associated with BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) culture, as it is often used in BDSM play and fetish wear. Common leather clothing items used in BDSM include corsets, gags, collars, harnesses, and wrist and ankle restraints.
Leather is often seen as a symbol of power and dominance, and can be used to create a visually striking and provocative image. In addition to traditional leather clothing, there are also specialized BDSM gear made from leather, such as floggers, paddles, and whips. It is important to note that BDSM is a consensual activity between adults and should always be safe, sane and consensual.
