“Latex is like a second skin! But I don’t feel sexual. It feels almost like I become a demon. I want to move like a spider” – LilyMcMenamy

about latex – the way it makes you feel, the way it looks. I’d noticed her wearing it in a few shows and shoots, and thought she would have an interesting perspective. And of course, I was right...So, just to explain a little, I was asked by AnOther if I wanted to write a column earlier this year, and I decided to use it to explore desire and pleasure in our time, from a personal perspective, as a kind of insurance against the desexualising effects of #MeToo.

We objectify each other naturally, men objectify women and women objectify men, but I think it’s possible for it to be done in a nuanced way that doesn’t disempower. And there’s a huge difference between respectful desire or flirtation and violent acts of harassment or abuse. Sometimes I think that distinction is ignored in soundbite debate.What I find most insidious is how a woman can swallow the male gaze and start to look at herself from that angle.

“It’s like a second skin! But I don’t feel sexual. It feels almost like I become a demon. I want to move like a spider” – Lily McMenamyLM:It has an artificialising effect. In a way you become like a doll, just an outline, a piece of plastic, latex hides the aberrations of the body, you can’t see fat really, or hair. So it’s extremely objectifying in one way.LKM:That’s true. I’ve never worn it for me, personally, it’s always been on a shoot.
