MK described me perfectly. My interest at 61 is very limited than when I was 21. With so much wetlook available today, the instant excitement has eroded so much that anything within the scope of my current interest just gets a "ok, ho hum, next!".
I've finally narrowed my "turn on" interest to wet white jeans where the transparency plays tricks with the mind, no different then when wet t-shirt contest came into vogue. You see it but you don't see it. Just lets your imagination go wild! I hate to think where my range (what's left of it now!) of interest will be 10 years from now.

Good discussion....Lots of great points raised here.
I think what happens to most people is....everybody goes thru various stages of "evolution" with their wetlook interests....i.e.
- when you first discover your interests, almost everything wet can turn you on.....
- but as you fine-tune your interests, you become more selective, and you start to skip those things you consider to be mundane...
- and as you keep "over-dosing" and finding way too much stuff, you become even more selective....
Thats the double-edged sword that you get from Youtube and Flickr etc.....you get so much of it now, that it renders wetlook to be less and less valuable now.
It reminds me of an old episode of the TV series "The Twilight Zone".....where some criminals have robbed a bank and stolen loads of gold bullion...and then to escape the cops they hide the gold and then go to a cryogenic chamber that puts them to sleep for 100 years....but when they wake up 100 years later....and retrieve the gold....they find that the gold is now WORTHLESS....cos now mankind has invented a way to synthetically manufacture Gold....so Gold no longer has any value any more. This what has happened to wetlook over the last 20 years.....i.e. wetlook used to be very rare and exciting in the old days of the 50's and 60's that Sopping fondly remembers, and in the 1970's and 80's when I remember too....but now wetlook is totally "over-manufactured" so much now (and the Trash the Dress concept is a perfect example of "manufactured wetlook") that it no longer has the excitement value that it once used to have (to me anyway).

I don't know to what extent you're playing devil's advocate in your comments, MK, but extrapolating your comments further leaves huge swathes of wetlook open to being labelled boring. For example, how long have there been pics of wet T-shirts now - it must be getting on for 40 years? Everything that could be done with a wet T-shirt has been done many times over and pics showing them are still commonplace. This could be argued as having reached the stage of being boring long ago. Wet jeans are another example. When you've seen one pic of wet jeans, haven't you seen them all? They always look the same and jeans pics are ten a penny in the wetlook world. Nothing more can be done with them that hasn't been done repeatedly already. The vast majority of candid pics of pool parties show women wearing sleeveless tops and jeans. There's hardly any imagination being shown in what women aged 18-30 where anymore - the skirt is largely fading away as an item of clothing for them - they all dress like clones of each other and it's dull, dull, dull!
Yet there are plenty of people who still can't get enough of pics of wet T-shirts, jeans or of pool parties. Obviously it doesn't matter to them how many such pics they've seen before - each one is like a new adventure to them to be viewed and enjoyed on its own merits. It doesn't matter to them how many similar pics they've seen before. Whilst I'm much more choosy about what pics I save these days, the same is true of the items of clothing that I prefer to see wet. If I like what's being worn, I'll generally save the pic. However, the location that the clothes are being worn in (I prefer outdoor shots in natural surroundings) is an increasingly important factor for me, but not enough to stop me from appreciating pics like these:
Similar pics taken outdoors though get my immediate attention though:
Anyway, I digress a little! Personally, I'm not bothered whether clothes are normal attire to get wet in the culture of whoever's wearing them - all that bothers me is whether I like the look of what I'm seeing. Although they're very formulaic, I enjoy watching the Indian Youtube movies that Dhopash in particular posts here (many thanks Dhopash!). They feature women who are absolutely revelling in getting wet - something that you rarely see in the West. Whilst I much prefer them wearing long skirts to saris, I enjoy the vast majority of the movies.
Finally, you say that Trash The Dress pics don't do anything for you because they're all the same. However, certainly compared to wet T-shirts and jeans, TTD pics are a brand new phenomenon and feature dresses being worn in circumstances that they haven't been seen in hitherto. Therefore, it's new and exciting to me, not least because it's bringing wetlook more into the mainstream. The only issue for me really is that the white wedding dresses don't really look much different to me wet than they do dry, some they fail an important pre-requisite for wetlook - you can't really tell that they're wet! Even so, I find pics like the ones at the link below very interesting and fresh, despite the material involved not being the best from a wetlook perspective:
A black bra and panties doesn't do anything for me from a wetlook perspective regardless of whether it looks like a bikini or not - my wetlook motto is pretty much that bare flesh is often being wasted from a wetlook perspective - give me a long sleeved shirt over a sleeveless top any day. That's not to say that burkhas are my favourite item of clothing for wetlook as they're simply aesthetically displeasing to look at! I'm sure there's someone out there who loves them though.....
Seeing wet swimsuits and bikinis don't count as wetlook to me as it's what everyone in my culture typically wears to get wet in. That stance gets more blurred when I consider swimdresses though - I've yet to decide about them! Warning - both of the following pics are dry - I'm posting them to illustrate types of swimdress:

Ultimately, we all have our own pet favourites and dislikes for wetlook, which is how it should be, although it makes it a bit of a nightmare for wetlook producers who have to strive as many different tastes as possible whilst not alienating people in doing so!
Interesting debate!!
