I hear latex is kinky, providing thrill (10)
I believe the answer is:
exhilarate
'thrill' is the definition.
('exhilarate' can be a synonym of 'thrill')
'i hear latex is kinky' is the wordplay.
'is kinky' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'hear'+'latex'='ihearlatex'
'ihearlatex' is an anagram of 'EXHILARATE'.
'providing' is the link.
(Other definitions for exhilarate that I've seen before include "Thrill" , "Enliven" , "Cheer" , "Make very happy or very animated" .)
