About
"My social circles are divided into three, stalwart, mutually exclusive groups.
A first of chronically online Tumblr users. I've drifted in and out of several and now exist in one with next to no ties to my home country.
A second of extremely normal heterosexuals. The worst they've seen are Instagram wellness reels and Discord does not exist to them.
And now, apparently, a third of rubber-coated kinksters who want to rearrange my guts.
I feel like someone like me shouldn't have a third.”

LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST is an interactive fiction piece for unemployed British trans men in their 20s with no career prospects whose only major social interactions happen over Discord. Other people can play it as well, I guess.
Play the game (for free!) that had people giving such rave reviews as:
"So beautiful, so intense, so funny."
"I almost cried at several points, and ended up crying at the end."
"dear god this was an experience"
"the first interactive fiction to make me feel *actually* anxious and afraid"
"[slurs]"
And won the most controversial entry in IFComp 2024!

physically hurts to play, deeply upsetting, ruined my day
That was a really nice read I enjoyed every moment I walked with L The trans thingy isn't even the main focus imo, it's more about learning to love life and stand to yourself and your opinions Also, I loved the embedded Links, such fun much joy ... but, damn, Gestirn really got on my nerves the last part... what a c.unt
Yeah..................... Don't think this "game" was made for me.

[i]playthrough in progress[/i] [b][i]LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST[/i][/b] seems to be a very text-heavy novel with light visuals, few choices, and no settings. It saves the progress automatically at some points. The story is rather mundane and the list of content warnings is available in-game. The protagonist has been the main source of the internalised transphobia so far. The trans male experience in the UK vaguely matches what I've heard about it (that is, ♥♥♥♥ if you are poor).

LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST is an intense and boundary-pushing visual novel that explores themes of BDSM, power dynamics, and deeply personal struggles. Featuring explicit adult content, including fetishistic elements like bondage, latex, and wireplay, the game doesn’t shy away from dark and potentially distressing subject matter. Alongside its erotic themes, it delves into heavy topics such as self-harm, discrimination, gaslighting, and online drama, creating a narrative that is as unsettling as it is provocative.
it was amazing. highly recommend to trans masc/man/ other aligned identities because it was just a really good thing to understand lived experience, and that, it will be okay.
came into my apartment, called me a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to my face, and beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of me. absolutely horrible. 10/10.
This hits harddd if you´re a trans guy. I underestimated the start screen that told me it was gonna hurt. It did. It´s very good in terms of storytelling, not much gameplay since its pretty much fully text based and choices, but id still recommend it if youve got a few hours to kill, and want a story thats a bit horny but will also make you laugh, get angry and potentially cry too.
Kendini "kronik olarak çevrimiçi" olarak tanımlayan bir trans erkek, kendisini düzelteceğini düşünerek bir kink kulübüne gider. tabiki Düzelmez. İbleliğin zirva yaptığı sapkın bir oyun.
