We have hope in the new generation

Sometimes one gets pessimistic about the future for good old rainwear, because the technical textiles are gaining more and more market share.

Re: swedich fetish tv doc's canal 5

The Swedish program Fraga Olle (Ask Olle) is about sex in different forms. This time they show different fetishes. The female reporter Malin also participates to certain extent in the scenes, or at least watches beside.
In season 6 Part 6 there's a short interview of a Norwegian rainwear fetishist ...
