We like to joke that the masking fetish is really for lazy trannies who don't want to go through the trouble of putting on make up. It's fun to say but it may not be true.
Everyone Forever described the desire for masking as "from the wearer's point of view, the mask provides an opportunity to be completely surrounded by the powerful smells and tactile qualities of latex. They can heighten sensitivity and fear/excitement in the way leather and rubber sensory-deprivation hoods used in BDSM scenarios do. And because many of the maskers combine the mask with tight-fitting corsets and layered clothing, there can also be an element of containment or bondage."
But why the feminine element? What do you think the real attraction to masking is?
Also, please enjoy the video of Kerry wearing her Joan female mask while sleeping and moving about to the Cardigan's"Good Morning Joan."
And these pics of some of our favorite maskers.

Interesting post, but I believe that the driving forces behind the usage of hoods and mask, in BDSM and mask fetishes are simplified.
Read my post as a response to your question.
