    • 1998, Rachel Armstrong, Sci-fi aesthetics, volume 12, numbers 9-10, page 19:
      Today, fetishism in all its forms - bondage, piercing, rubberism, mummification, asphyxiation, infantilism etc - is stigmatised as a socially unacceptable form of behaviour, even though there is a great deal of curiosity surrounding its practice.
    • 1994, Bill Thompson, Sadomasochism: painful perversion or pleasurable play?, page 95:
      Rubberism, therefore, was clearly alive, if not well, long before the advent of the permissive 1960's.
