> This is a fascinating and very worthwhile topic! Thank you!

> I first told my sister, and luckily it went very well. Trying to write about this reawakened some intense emotions. Here's the story, at some length...

> My enjoyment of wet clothes developed in my early teens - at first in a small way, then it became more serious. I felt I had to keep it secret. I didn't have much interest in outdoor activities, didn't live near open water, and lacked the confidence to do my own thing openly if it wasn't what my parents wanted, so I mainly experimented in the bathroom with the door locked. After my teens I had some new interests and fewer opportunities for indoor soakings, and I tended to think my "wet thing" had faded away - but when I got caught in summer rain on a few occasions it became clear to me that my interest was alive and well.

> I discovered this site around the time of some more "not entirely accidental" soakings in unusually warm and wet weather, and it blew my mind. So many people feeling the same way, so many things to do! For a few nights I was almost too excited to get any sleep. I realised that as well as taking baths and showers with clothes on, walking in rain, paddling and wading, I wanted to be able to jump into water and swim in my clothes. I had never learnt to swim because of things going wrong in childhood, but I soon found the courage and the support from new friends to sign up for lessons.

> My mind was still "half inside-out", so I felt I needed to confide in my closest contacts, starting with my sister. I actually thought of this as "coming out as a wetboy". She had noticed my odd and excited state of mind, she knew there was something going on. We had a long and deep conversation which went better than I'd dared to hope - she was at first intrigued, then amused (but not laughing at me), then very supportive and happy for me. She told me that learning to swim would give me a lot more options. It turned out that in our teens she'd wondered whether I was into wet clothes, but she'd never been sure. Mmm...

> We discussed some of my experiences. On our family holiday when I'd just turned 14, I greatly enjoyed wearing tight denim cutoff shorts as beach swimwear (just over skin) for the first time - especially when my body responded unstoppably as water soaked through! From then on I got a lot of pleasure from those shorts and from trying other clothes in the bath. I also described how, after years of conventional dryness, I got totally soaked in warm rain on city streets and loved it, finding it felt natural to complete the experience under the shower at home. I don't know if I gave my sister the impression that I always cream my clothes when I get wet (usually I don't), but she seemed to expect it might happen and wasn't bothered. I find getting wet in clothes is often more relaxing than arousing.

> I'm not good at relationships and I've learnt to expect to remain celibate - so she was pleased that I have an interest which gives me harmless pleasure (and a release of tension if needed), and which might involve healthy outdoor exercise too, whether or not it's shared with anyone else.

> As far as I know, my sister isn't into getting wet - but she recently told me about an accidental drunken adventure with her current partner which involved a lot of mud and water, and evidently a lot of sensual pleasure! A happy surprise! Was she telling me she can enjoy wet clothing too? She clearly did on that occasion. I hope she can be persuaded to tell me more of the story so I can post it, or even to post it herself. We live hundreds of miles apart, but she's been thinking of moving nearer, and I'm looking forward to that.

> Apart from my sister and some users of this forum, I've only discussed my wet clothes interest in depth with one trusted friend - we've shared a lot of deep discussions over many years. He was OK about it although he isn't much into getting wet. When I visited him in warm weather he gave me a lot of space and was only briefly surprised when I showered in a T-shirt and shorts, although he wouldn't join me.

> These days I don't find it necessary to "come out" in much detail, as getting wet is just a part of my identity - I'm visibly rather unconventional in several other ways. It's still largely a private matter for me, even though I do sometimes get wet in public when I'm confident (it varies, I still get put off easily).

> Solo wet fun can be great, but it'd still be good to find a partner or a close friend who shares my tastes, whether or not we do anything else together - a meeting of minds and maybe of bodies with our clothes staying on?
