GearFetish

Most websites that require you to register to view their content ask for basic information like your birthdate and email address. When you're trying to access the thousands of fetish-flavored profiles (and more photos than you can shake a gas mask at) at GearFetish, however, you'll not only have to provide your age and contact information but also your gender, height, weight, boot size, dominance position, amount of facial and body hair, and whether your tastes run more towards Speedos and jockstraps or leather hoods and pressure suits. If it sounds like too much trouble ... well, we suppose there are plenty of other places online where you can browse photos or look for like-minded playmates. But if you're looking for a nicely designed community where you can connect with folks whose interests in sports, military, leather, rubber, and diving gear is as hyperspecific as yours are, that signup process will be the best five minutes you'll ever spend online.
