Sinful Sunday 359 – Slough

slough : /slʌf/ verb
(gerund or present participle: sloughing)
shed or remove (a layer of dead skin)

A few weeks ago I was hit by a skin rash that covered all of me. I’ll spare you the details, other than to answer your first question, Curious Reader – yes, all of me! – and to say that as it cleared up it left all my skin very dry. (Again, Curious Reader, yes!, all!!)

As well as applying copious amounts of emolient, to deal with the latter as quickly as possible I aquired a pair of sloughing gloves. They are more commonly sold as exfoliating gloves, predominantly to the female beauty market, but I like the word sloughing. They did the required job and I was soon thoroughly exfoliated, so they could easily have been disposed of … and yet …

They left my skin noticably softer and smoother than usual. I liked that. It made me feel sexy. I really liked that. And I found the sensation of these coarse gloves all over my body (almost, Curious Reader, very nearly but not quite all over) to be surprisingly erotic.
I’ve kept the gloves, and I’ve kept using them.
If nothing else, I understand daily sloughing is also a good way to prevent ingoring hairs after you’ve been waxed … and seeing as my genitals and arse are long over due a dose of deforestation, it makes sense to keep them in service.

As you will know, Loyal Reader, I also have a fetish for gloves. So you will not be surprised to know, that looking down as I exfoliated by balls, it was the sight and not just the sensation that was beind my smile.
