Start with a balance of -440. This is with the contiguous day bonus that I get if I have spent 5 or more hours in latex within 24 hours of starting a given day that I will also spend 5 or more hours in latex. So with the bonus, I will have exceeded my target in 5 hours. If I don’t want to qualify for it I would have to get out of the suit sooner than the 5 hours – but then without the bonus I would not reach the target. A mini-catch-22 situation where I will either exceed the target quota or not meet it.
In reality, I will probably choose to exceed the target quota and have points in hand for the various demerits.
Just to make sure I bust the target I am again wearing total enclosure suit including hood, goggles and mask. Every millimeter of me is sealed up safe.

As an aside, I just remembered something from last night. I noticed for the first time how slightly strange and a little uncomfortable “normal” clothes are to wear. It was a mild feeling – one that I could easily ignore if I busied myself, but there it was. They were inflexible and either too baggy or to constricting. They were not comfortably smooth and even, but course which felt odd and slightly itchy.
I couldn’t help noticing that even though my “normal” clothes were only on for 6 or 7 hours, some of them were not totally fresh when I took them off. This just doesn’t seem to be the case with rubber. I wear my rubber for 8 plus hours from clean and they don’t seem develop a bad smell – even the hands and feet. I have come to the conclusion that “normal” clothes are just a bit unsanitary.
13:00
By my rough estimate, I could have reached my quota in the next half an hour or so. Will I be getting out of the suit then? I don’t think so. It’s just too wonderful a place to be on a Friday afternoon! We will see what happens, but I am inclined not worry about exceeding my quota and setting myself up for a difficult week next week. The way I have the points system play list set up, I am hoping it will regulate itself (and me!) over time.
15:00
So I am going out with a surplus of 85 points. I am surprised it was not more.
I got to do some real world things now. Going to miss the rubber for two days.
Totals so far:
Suit & Hood = 100*6=600
Goggles =10*5=50
mask 5*5=25
re-breather 25*0=0
Temp Bonus (above*(1+(0.25*0))=0
Contig. Day Bonus=100

Ejaculation= - 100*1= -100
So far today= 625
Week before today=2160
Total for week so far= 2785
Target=2700
Balance= +85

I posted this by error as a comment on Thursday's blog, so you may not have seen it. Here it is again.
You wonder about being in full rubber on a hot day and having a suit awash with sweat. That is a matter of taste - I myself enjoy heat endurance, and can spend twenty-four hours in complete hot rubber. But then I am not trying to do it day after day - that will be a new challenge to try.
The danger of enjoying heat endurance is that one gets on a high and is then tempted to overdo it and raise the inner body temperature to danger. I reckon a mouth temperature of 101F is the maximum safe. I do not find that the pulse goes up much so it seems OK to that level, and the trick is then to go on over time.
The prospect of doing intellectual work like that is impossible. Physical workout is of course part of the self-discipline.
My other thing is liking to show off, so wearing my SBR mack over suits,with boots, big gloves and open-faced hood plus dark shades out on a hot sunny day is a real turn-on. I am a real laugh for young people, and that is quite OK - I can take it happily which makes it OK with them. One has to careful of course not to be a nuisance.
So you are doing well at 25C to be able to do it day after day and work too - do you find the quality of your work is better or worse? Just typing in gloves is harder work.
Do you wear rubber when with other people in the scene? It is good if you can find somebody of like interest, not necessarily for sex. Clubs are good for this. Just corresponding like this is encouraging too. I have always wanted, liked so many, to find a woman who would share my enthusiasms, but alas they are few indeed.
All the gear I have so far bought is an open-faced hood, socks, pants with sheath and tube for urination and gloves, both thin and heavy.
So I slept in it last night. The hood is too small and pressed constantly on my jaw, and I was in a constant state of excitement, but managed to get some sleep.
I have a SBR mack on order and hope to order catsuits etc. this week. It will be a great day when I can put all the gear together - I will post pics on my blog.
Thanks for your views on extended stays in total enclosure when hot. Doing work in such conditions day in, day out will defiantly be a challenge (unless I get air conditioning…).
I don’t have the courage (or much inclination) to openly wear rubber in public places, so am impressed. You obviously have a very open mind and yet a great sense of fun.
Do I find the quality of my work is better or worse? Well, mastering the keyboard in gloves is defiantly a skill that takes some time. I wear a suit with built in gloves and in addition to this I wear either one or two sets of tight and very thin black rubber gloves. These make for a tighter fit which aids typing. As for the work – well I am defiantly motivated and content to be working – as I now associate working at the computer with latex total enclosure in my mind.
Of course there are some additional distractions which get in the way of work and so it can be an effort for the first week or two. I had huge problems with my constant arousal often overpowering all other senses. However, over the last week, I feel I am at last starting to get better at working in rubber. Sometimes, I feel it really has been helpful to be totally enclosed as I can find it easier to concentrate. It’s true that eventually you find you occasionally forget that you are encased in some strange material. As you concentrate, you are so comfortable that you start to feel like this is normal.
However, I have never really forgot that I am wearing rubber as every time you make anything but the slightest movement, there is the hundred gentle reminders of latex. The cool touch here, the warm restriction there, the slither as it repositions over you, the little noises and gentle smells. I find it difficult to imagine that you could ever forget you were in rubber for long – but am starting to see how it may be possible that it could start lose some of it’s novelty and to feel completely normal.
Although I do know some people who are into latex, going out to clubs with them never really happens. I guess that’s because clubs are not my scene – but I would never say never.
Good to here you are getting some new rubber and trying out sleeping in rubber. I have done this in the past – but rarely on successive nights are in conjunction with a full day in latex. Something I may try some day.

Well, as for me, whenever I am in rubber I am on a sexual high though normally physical stress nowadays inhibits erection. The reaction to my gear of potential sex partners female or male (Like many rubberists not normally gay, in rubber anything goes)is particularly stimulating. No doubt the usual type of exhibionist who exposes his person to shock women feels the same way.
As Dark says, eventually the effect of any such continued stimulus must wear off. For me sheer fatigue can do this. One is left then with an intellectual wish to overcome the impulse to strip off in the hope of starting up again. This may or not be strong enough to keep one going. I hope to try a rubber holiday, wearing rubber night and day, 7/23, (open-faced hood by day, full-face at night) to see how long I can last. Suitable accommodation may I thnk be found. Sorry, that is irrelevant.
Encased and I are both getting solitary satisfaction. A partner such a bondage mistress is the tops, but does not lead to the desire for intimacy either mental or copulation. Sex in rubber is still solitary, a paradox.

Thanks for saying the kind things. It certainly helps to know that someone is reading this stuff. Doing a rubber lifestyle alone would be much more difficult and I find readers are very much a support.
By the way – if you don’t mind, it would be better if you posted replies to the blog – that way everyone can read the material. People like to see others views. I will post this reply (but not your name or original email) in the blog for just such reasons.
Re: extra points for hot day then conversely there should be some opposite effect for cold days. Fair point! However, keeping cool below the temperature I stop perspiring offers little advantage to me in terms of endurance – unless I want to perform exercise or labour. The extra points for higher temperatures are to recognize that it becomes very much more difficult to stay in rubber for a long time, once you start overheating. So under these circumstances an incentive seemed fair.
I monitor the temperature through the working day. I have never needed to factor in the point in yet – but suspect I will do it along the lines of 1 hour at 28C, 2 hours at 29C and so on.
Contiguous bonus… unaffected by the night… Yep it is a once a day bonus I get if I have spent 5 or more hours in latex within the previous 24 hours of starting of dressing for a given working day. Another condition is that I must then spend 5 or more hours in latex on that working day to qualify for the bonus.
Note the repeated use of the work “working day”. This is important. The aim of all this points systems and the blog is to give a framework for spending more of my working life in rubber. What I do between working days does not count. Even if that means spending the evenings in rubber. Maybe I should address the issue of what happens if I did not get out of rubber between two (or more) full working days – as I hope this will be relevant very soon (more on this later)… Perhaps some of you have a view?

Dark (et al),
Your posts were as cerebral and challenging as usual (that’s a compliment – honest!). Lets see how I go on with the return…
You got it “The motivation for wearing rubber is what underlies this experiment …”
Yep to “aroused by their fetish”
“wearing rubber constantly would relate to the sexual arousal nature of the fetish.”, Yep
Yes “extend the arousal period” sounds like another good reason.
I note with interest your observation regarding other “activities which require focus”. My work certainly does much of the time – and keeping this focus balanced with my fetish focus is often a challenge. Often one wins over the other – but not always. I think that this is the “art” to be perfected in my experiment. Interestingly though, eating does not play a great part in my rubber working life. That kind of thing does not really fit with being as sealed up as possible. Yep – I can see the potential pathological alarm bells ringing but you needn’t get concerned just yet.
“Normal clothing is comfortable and does not demand attention...”- yep, your right, it starts out this way and yes it does seem to be changing. Rubber is now often the less uncomfortable option… Sweating is not an issue at this time of year where I live. Getting rubber to fit well and still be comfortable is tricky – but on balance, I think have got to within 90% of what is achievable.
And yet there are still times I want to get out of the rubber, but these often pass with time. When this happens and I buckle down and get over it, there is often a feeling of some regret that I eventually do have to take it off.
“And I come back to the first point... what is the motivation for engaging in such an exercise?” – By looking at the key words in list of the top of this post, I can see we are talking about a: “fetish, extended arousal”. Now I think that sums of a good chunk of it. You could say that if you like doing something, and it does not harm – why not do more? But that might be a bit trite. But I think answering your next questions answer much of the issues:
“Do you want to be feeling erotic more of the time?” – Definitely.
“Do you want to … not feel any discomfort associated with wearing total rubber for extended periods?” – Yes. In cooler conditions I am doing well on this one.
“Do you want to be able to "shock" others and wear a banner of being an iconoclast?” – absolutely not. That may seem strange when I have a blog – but I am no extraverted fetishist (although I have known some very nice ones! So have no issues with the sort who love to shock.).
Other reasons? Well I am sure there are. One that springs to mind is that I have a fetish for being in rubber for long periods. I am not being factious here, the idea of prolonged or indefinite encapsulation is genuinely erotic to me in a way that I can explain as easily as I can explain why I find certain people more attractive than others, why I like some sculptures better than others, or why I think that cake tastes better than tomatoes.
Just because there is probably a reason that I want to aim to spend long periods in rubber, does not mean I know (yet). Ultimately, I think it probably does not matter if I find out – but on the other hand it could be interesting. Maybe we will find out along the way.
