Hypothetically, we can divide people into TWO categories:

The FIRST are those who, for some strange reason, have an archetypal obsession to be the equivalent of 100% covered in latex, 100% of the time.

These are the "Deep" Rubberists.

Oh, they understand that this is just plain not practical in the real world. It's just a 'lifelong urge' they all share. This is a story of someone who tries to make it happen, anyway. It's an inward journey that is not a threat to anyone.

Oh yes! These are real, loving, law-abiding people. But, they are scarce in most places. There may be only a few hundred thousand bona-fide Deep Rubberiss on the planet.

The SECOND kind are all of the rest of the people in the world. All billions and billions of them. Odds are that you are in this group. Sorry. ;-(

Seriously, If you do not have a rubber fetish, you will probably be wasting your time with this story. You cannot possibly grok the dynamics of fetish, even though you may think you do. You are certainly welcome to try, of course. There's probably nothing here for you, and you will very likely not understand or benefit from it. Caveat Emptor.

If you do have a rubber fetish, it is my hope that this epistolary parable will help you find a transcendent sense of Purpose and Meaning in your life by learning to approach your fetish as a solo "practice."

This takes fetish way, way beyond sex. I call this Latexistentialism.

This is a story with a plot, characters, and a setting, but it is also a "teaching story" which offers a 'Rubber-osophy' for a rubber-centric lifestyle. Note the basic principles are not gender- or orientation-specific.

WRITERS: This parable is ALSO a vast word treasury for anyone wanting to write about Deep Rubber Fetish. Please make use of it.

I particularly want to thank Dark, Dino, LatexLadyII, MissRubberE, Morton, Sealed, SlipperySeal, Takiem and others too numerous to mention for their infectious enthusiasm for the RubberNautic lifestyle. I also want to thank ALL of the members of the Int'l Assoc. of Rubberists (Rubberist.Net) from 1998-2021. (It's gone now.)

Their spirits fertilize, flavor, and catalyze this work.

I have written it for them.
