BARCELONA / 18+
ADfetish is ADDICTED’s younger Barcelona sibling, the one that only really wakes up at night. Its underwear, harnesses and clubwear can change a whole look with a single strap, and in Barcelona it even has a shop of its own, the AD Party / AD Fetish Store on Consell de Cent.
The jockstrap has more history than most things in a drawer. C. F. Bennett of the Chicago firm Sharp & Smith designed it in 1874 for Boston’s bicycle riders, and from the 1950s it became part of gay culture. ADfetish makes its own, alongside briefs, bodysuits, harnesses, chaps and accessories, some cut to leave skin on show and others made to layer over clothes.
Under club lights a glossy black piece catches every flash, and that is exactly the point. The gloss says more about the mood than the fabric, though. In the ADfetish range, a name that hints at latex or rubber may describe the finish while the material itself is something else, which is how the Zip Rub pieces get their rubber look from a laminated fabric.
A club night and a private one rarely call for the same pieces. The cut, the fastening and how much skin you want to show make the difference, and a men’s harness can be the whole point of the outfit, or it can sit over a vest or under an open shirt until the room warms up. Whatever you wear, a harness or a black jock is an invitation to look, never a yes in itself. Consent is spoken and mutual, and it can be taken back at any time.
Closer to home, addictedbp.hu in Budapest carries ADfetish harnesses and underwear alongside ADDICTED and ES Collection.
