	Leather fetishism - Wipipedia
		Leather fetishism is the name popularly used to describe a fetishistic attraction to people wearing leather, or in certain cases, to the garments themselves.
		Leather can also be polished to be shiny and can also be produced in bright colours, causing further visual stimuli to add to the physical sensations produced by the material.
		The feel of tight leather garments may also be viewed as a kind of sexual bondage, and much SM equipment is made out of leather.

		Leather is a material created through the tanning of hides, pelts and skins of animals, primarily cows.
		Alum-tanned leather is tanned using aluminum salts mixed with a variety of binders and protein sources, such as flour, egg yolk, etc. Purists argue that alum-tanned leather is technically "tawed" and not tanned, as the resulting material will rot in water.
		As leather can also be a metonymical term for things made from it, the term leathering is as logical as tanning in the sense of a physical punishment (such as a severe spanking) applied with a leather whip.
