Originally from Slovakia, Charlie has been based in Prague for 15 years, engaging with rubber since then and still pursuing it.

He obtained his first gas mask at around 16 years old. This treasure found in an attic sparked interest for various fetishes in him.

Professionally, he is dedicated to life-sciences, but his creativity and craftsmanship, but mostly his fetishes, led him to create his first rubber products in around 2012. The interest of other enthusiasts in unique rubber accessories then escalated into creation of Fetishak, Charlie’s own fetish brand. Fetishak gained recognition in the global rubber community thanks to lace-up rubber boots, brand’s best-seller, and new creative additions to fetish fashion.

Thanks to his love for travel and rubber he attended various fetish events in the Czechia, Europe, and eventually the MIR event. It was there that he first showcased his creations and passion for latex in 2015. In 2016, he opened a unique workshop and studio for latex fetish in Prague called Rubber Bunker, where he welcomed many enthusiasts of rubber fashion, members of the local fetish community, and even two MIR titleholders.

In his free time, he likes doing outdoor sports, particularly when he can wear some gear while doing so (white-water kayaking, climbing, snowboarding), and enjoys riding his Tiger (a Triumph motorbike).

As a sex educator Rain specializes in kink and fetish. Rain offers education for clients in private settings consulting them on techniques, empowerment and finding their own way, and also trains doctors and sexologists on how to recognise and deal with patients with (possibly) kink related marks or injuries.

Rain's fetishes include rubber, heavy rubber, gasmasks, leather, nylon tracksuits, PVC, melamine (all the yumm plastics!), boots, power play, age play, diapers, uniforms, school uniforms and cotton, and Rain is an avid fister stating that "my hands are small but my plans are big". 

As a non-binary person, Rain pioneers in making our safe spaces less gender-oriented, and more community or fetish oriented.
