Oblivious to Shoeplay

Post by Mr. Mike »

Just curious about this. Watching these videos of meeting, churches, speeches...do you guys think that a cameraman who has no idea what shoeplay, dipping or dangling is, would even notice if some woman was shoeplaying while he was filming? The reason I ask is it seems like just when we have perfect full body shot and the chance of shoeplay looks elevated, the camera guy tends to zoom in...is this just me always thinking everyone is out to prevent us OR, doing think someone that know nothing about this even notices a woman shoeplaying? I'm thinking he has no idea what it is, but if starts to show up on his video screen, he may deem it "inappropriate or unsavory", so therefore he might take the womans feet out of the video.
Just curious what everyone thinks.

I think cameramen are trained to try and remove any distraction from the main focus of the shots they are doing, whether it's shoeplay or an animal in the background or a guy waving a sign or a wardrobe malfunction. I don't think it's a plot against shoeplay per se.

Yeah, Feeture Feature is right. In fact I would insist he's incontrovertibly right.

I've noticed a lot of psychological projection from my fellow shoeplay fans, and I think I know why. It's pretty understandable.

It's so exciting for us that it's hard to believe - and even harder to imagine - that the average person is utterly indifferent to it, takes no notice of it, and it would never occur to them to perceive it as even faintly sexual. (Yes, there are the very occasional scripted dangling scenes in mainstream movies and tv shows, but the sexual connotation is symbolic and extremely context reliant.)

Personally, I'm glad most of the world is oblivious and I hope this never, ever changes.

I feel incredibly lucky to have a shoeplay fetish. It means there's a high chance for something extremely pleasant to happen every time I go to lunch or to the library.
Uh, OK, what should I write here...
Sweet and to the point:
My strong preference is for seated, both-feet shoeplay. Dangling, and shoeplay with open-toed shoes or mules, I'm afraid don't do as much for me.

For that matter, as much incidental shoeplay as we're able to observe, they're doing a bad job if they're trying to ignore all of it! Not to mention, as spontaneous as most dipping seems to be, if they made a quick camera jerk to avoid it, that would be more noticeable than letting the girl play with that troublesome shoe on-camera but off-center.

It's natural for us to assume the worst. Foot fetishes are rarely painted in a positive light (you could say the ones who are foolish enough to get caught in the act aren't doing us a favor in the PR department), and so it's easy to assume any action is meant to thwart us. But it could just as easily be someone else. I was thinking about a certain college government group that had given us some great shoeplay moments in the candid thread; starting last year they started putting tablecloths on their set, and while I wondered at first if it was to block shoeplay views, I later figured it could just as easily be an attempt to prevent upskirt shots (there were some close calls with the girls not crossing their legs under the table).

If you're not part of our club, you might be surprised it even exists. I remember a time in college when a couple friends and I were standing in the hall talking outside our dorm rooms. My friend's female friend (who I always thought had an interest in him, hence MY inaction in this story) was wearing 2" heels, and began that lovely dance of shifting her weight, popping her stockinged heel free from her shoe, and eventually a little dipping. I figured eventually he would ask if her shoes were bothering her, and offer (a) to let her sit down or (b) suggest she come in the room and take her shoes off. But he let her just stand there! It befuddled me at the time, but I doubt he realized anything was going on.

Similarly, I was at a wedding last year where my girlfriend (now fiancee) was part of the wedding party; we were sharing a room with one of the other bridesmaids and her boyfriend. After the reception, we returned to the hotel room; my lady was shoeless once we got in the room, and she laid on the bed so I could rub her feet. Her friend and her boyfriend were on the other bed talking, and eventually her friend looked over at us, pointed her hosed toes and said in a sweet plaintive voice, "See, he's rubbing HER feet!" Only after that did she get her foot rub. It just hadn't dawned on the other guy.

My fiancee had no idea there was anything at all to shoeplay until I told her. One of our great friends can't keep her shoes on, but it's because she's hyper and a dancer/gymnast so she's more at home sans shoes. If they don't realize it, chances are most of the men don't either.

notalwaysright10000, you touch on a great point about our fetish - we can be just about anywhere and notice something entrancing. Most people can't count on that.

Paradigm...first off congrats! I'm also glad your wife to be knows about your fetish. I would say only 2 people on the planet know about mine...one ex girlfriend and my wife.

Notalwaysright,...you are right. I am so glad we have the fetish we have, we can see it anywhere at anytime. If I had to go to strip club or watch bad porn to get it, I would be bummed.

Thank you! I'm a very lucky man. She's a smart girl, and admitted loving shopping and shoes when we first started talking. With a little further prying, I learned that she was more into owning the shoes than actually wearing them. On our third date, I suggested she take her shoes off under the table...and I don't think she's worn her shoes at dinner on a date since! She had no real idea that feet could be a "thing," but she certainly understands the power she holds now.

So she doesn't merely grudgingly accept it...she uses it to her advantage too!

Im sure some cameramen still don't realize what shoeplay is because since it does turn them on they don't feel itsa necessary to film
