What's the psychological appeal to shoeplay?

[JohnnyMarvin]

Lifelong shoeplay enjoyer here. Started in middle school for me, now I am well into adulthood and I can only thank the girls in my classroom who couldn't keep their shoes on for my foot and, specifically, my shoeplay fetish.

To me, especially if candid, it captures an earnest and raw sensory appeal. Seeing a female foot gingerly tease a sandal strap with her toes, or watching a high arched woman scrunch her soles and seeing dozens of wrinkles appear, is absolutely mesmerizing. It is more enticing than any other foot fetish related thing for me.

The biggest factor is just how unexpected it is. It's more like a striptease that can happen anytime, anywhere, and would reveal even the most shyest girl's beautiful feet. The possibilities are endless and shoeplay can be something I can watch all day - it's a shame there's a lack of content on it however.

What draws you to shoeplay?

[Footsiefreak]

As most of you know I'm only into hosed shoeplay.

To me it's a psychological seductive game of peek aboo....sometimes you just get a heel.....soles...or the whole foot. Slipping in and out of her shoes at her will.

If I saw a live shoeplay show like I did in the 90s I wouldn't know how to react. I probably would think it wasn't real.

So now I'm just satisfied with YouTube. Amazing how they get that security " foot-age" of meetings and no one gets in trouble. I would love to have that set up

Through the years i had the chance to dig into the topic with the help of a doctor into a process to know and understand more some of my unknown sides, as far as i am concerned i think the main topic is the love of women, the female figure in all its forms and most of the times the fantasy value and mind play i relate to it. Shoeplay considered as a way of stress release or to give herself a moment of joyful freedom and that's exactly the point, it has to be seen as a way to express herself and it really doesn't matter if the goal is attract attention on purpose, play a private or public game of show and hide or assert their own mindset, at least this it the conclusion i have gotten to about myself.

For a long time, I've compared shoeplay to the damsel-in-distress appeal.

Shoeplay is a comfort-seeking behavior at its core. It's a nervous girl fidgeting with the only thing loose enough to play with. It's a woman who's been standing for half an hour in tight and confining shoes. It's a woman who didn't really want to wear shoes today to start with. Even the more flirtatious forms stem from at least some level of discomfort.

Sometimes, it's subconscious. Sometimes, there's intent.

But either way, there's a woman seeking some kind of comfort, usually subverting conventions and rules that we're supposed to wear shoes. No matter the standard of decorum, in this moment, she's more comfortable in her stocking feet.

Stockinged feet are vulnerable: easier to get dirty, easier to get a run, easier to get inadvertently hurt by an errant table leg or LEGO. I think that vulnerability, the tender nylon sole exposed under a table or the woman at a convention standing next to her elegant shoes in her stockinged feet, draws us in.

I know it draws me.

For me it started early in grammar school, up until highschool and through college. To be honest and I don’t get this often, but sometimes the pheromones hit my scent glands and I can smell the stink of the shoes and feet, especially in a more confined space. Also the crazy movements! A woman rapidly dipping, dangling, popping, sliding, and shuffling in her shoes will always get me. As for the psychological appeal, all the elements combined into one, the scent from a woman removing her shoes, the shoeplay itself, it all mesmerizes me. A personal favorite that I enjoy seeing is when a woman will be sitting in a chair with her legs crossed, one heel popping off her shoe; then all of a sudden, she will start shaking her legs, knocking her knees, or if she has both her legs together with her shoes off knocking her knees! This is what really drives me into shoeplay, especially if a woman is wearing a professional or classy outfit, particularly if she is wearing ballet flats, work appropriate heels, and especially my favorite, traditional almost sort squared-off dress loafers/moccasins (idrk what they’re called), preferably with neutral colored wide-leg dress slacks and with knee/thigh-high neutral colored nylons!

Feet don't give off pheromones you are just turned on by the smell

I'm not sure what the psychological appeal is but what draws me ranges from arousal to the element of surprise. The control is closed toe "shoeplay" shoes (flats, heels, mules). Seeing women dangle or dip in these types of shoes trigger immediate arousal even if said woman isn't my type. Bonus points for those crazy dangles where the shoe is hanging off the big toe. Which leads into the element of surprise in shoeplay. I wonder are her feet ugly, cute, beautiful. Long toes, short toes? Painted nails, not painted, soles and heels smooth or dry etc. All these factors are enough for me to be a lifelong shoeplay fanatic.

I've noticed that it seems to be an ongoing issue that once we spotlight shoeplay here on the forum, there is usually a consequence where the people in the videos stop shoeplaying when we overload their videos with comments. Is that something we just have to pretty much deal with? My favorite forum topic is the "accidentally" topic, but I worry that any time someone discovers shoeplay on a channel and shares it, a vocal minoirty will comment on the videos and draw attention to it, and the woman shoeplaying will stop. Has this always been a problem, or is it more frequent these days?

Exactly!!!!! That's why I don't post shoeplay videos that I like anymore. The people who have those channels are here and just don't want competition.

One observation that has been an ongoing “study” for me is the correlation between shoeplay and birth month. I have noticed women who are born in the Winter months tend to shoeplay more

I met my current lady of interest on a site where you can buy women’s used shoes and garments. It has been liberating to interact with a woman who embraces my foot fetish. She sends me random pics of her shoeplaying at work or taking her shoes off to show me her feet.

I’ve been watching women’s feet since before 10 years old, not sure why. My mom used to babysit her friend’s son. Her name is Geraldine, she was a very beautiful woman who worked at a bank. She would come to pickup her son and her and my mom would sit at the kitchen table and chat for awhile before her and her son left. OMG stocking foot shoeplay galore. I wish I would’ve been curious enough to play under the table and take a few sniffs I’m sure her feet were fragrant at that time of the day and being that I was a little boy she would’ve probably laughed about it.

Over the years I have seen some amazing shoeplay moments in-person, recorded some, missed recording most of them

I’ve also got to sniff shoes and feet on occasion, mostly ninja style When I met my gorgeous sister in law for the first time it was amazing… we picked her up from work, she worked at Moe’s Burrito Kitchen at the time. I’ll never forget seeing her beautiful face, wearing a Moe’s shirt, tight jeans, and white Addidas sneakers.

She immediately slipped off her sneakers behind the couch. I immediately made a subtle, beeline for her shoes since her and my girlfriend at the time were distracted by the tv. I kneeled down like I was tying my shoes and took a whiff of her sneakers OMG sweaty foot delight!!! I couldn’t believe such a beautiful woman had such sweaty smelling shoes

But wait, there’s more. They both fell asleep on the couch and my sister in law had her feet outstretched, so I went for it, I sniffed her socked toes PERFECT LOCKER ROOM FOOT SMELL… I was secretly in love

I could share a few more stories about her. Strangely the best thing about her is her feet didn’t always stink, it just depended on how long she had her shoes on. Okay, one more about her: she once came to our house to visit I recorded her doing some great shoeplaying in the kitchen with her black, Roxy slip on shoes. She was wearing black socks, sitting in front of me, looking at her phone, slipping her feet in and out of her shoes. It one point she went upstairs with my wife to play makeup and left her shoes behind!!! I immediately sniffed them, no joke, LOCKER ROOM SMELL AGAIN. I need to find that video so I can share. I literally recorded her playing with her shoes then leaving them behind just thinking about that moment makes me hard like no other.

From time to time I see her and get excited

Oh I didn't know that. I thought pheromones were the sweat and moisture that feed off of bacteria, often produced when closed-toe shoes are worn for quite a while because the scent compounds are trapped, or those who tend to have smelly feet, as the foot has multiple scent glands.

I think it's, no offense, that the a good amount of foot fetishists on these communities are A boomers/low-IQ who literally can't use a computer (hence the fact that none of the candid shoeplay videos were really backed up from pornhub despite there just being a "download" button lol, or that the shoesession forum was down for 8 months and 99% of it is just gone for some reason) B foreign and don't speak English at least conventionally (hence all the terribly reencoded videos they'll resell, then threaten to kill your mom in poor English if you don't reply to their email within 30 minutes because they don't even understand HOW to run an (illicit) business / scam) C get off on being creepy and ruining shit for everyone ie people who jack off in public and get off on making women feel uncomfortable.

it's probably a combination of the three. sometimes I do wonder if it's truly mental retardation in some cases (ie youtube commenters who will go on a candid video commenting "you're so beautiful please do more " as if the woman in the video is somehow also the one who posted it). it could be that combined with severe loneliness/porn addiction. I know most foot fetishists I've met in real life aren't like this, but they're also lucky they never discovered this shit. the hours i've wasted away searching for "the perfect video," etc., preferring jacking it to fucking my own hot girlfriends that would indulge my fetish. it's the worst. I wish I could get rid of my archive of candid vids because a lot of them aren't on the internet anywhere anymore, but it's so hard psychologically to "lose" them forever.

anyway, sorry I got off topic for a sec but those reasons are why and it will never stop unfortunately lol

Foot smell comes from bacteria that grow naturally on the feet that feed on sweat and give an odor as a byproduct but no pheromones in that particular case.

Hey bro, if you want to get rid of it just post it here
