Ever Wonder...

Post by christo »

why we like feet so much? What is it, genetics, conditioning or maybe something else. It's easy to say what we like about them but why do we? If you look at the history of it, foot fetishism came to popularity during the rise of plagues like the black plague. But even then people were not very clean, especially feet, at least not by today's standard. Yet people back then started to grow fond of them. Psychologist don't fully understand and chalk it up to conditioning. For me I feel conditioning is a stretch. Part of me feels it could be genetic. The reason I feel this because feet are still seen as "gross" and people who like feet are often ridiculed or seen as perverts. Were often the butt of many jokes and our love for feet is seen as cringe. So I feel most of us would stop loving feet if we could just to escape the stigma that comes with it. But we can't. Cause no matter how hard we try were always gonna be drawn to them. We understand what makes them so attractive but most non-fetishist do not. Foot fetishism is the most popular fetish is the world with our numbers in the hundreds of millions but were still not socially accepted. By that I mean you can't just walk up to some lady and say you have sexy feet or tell your friends how sexy some woman's feet are like you could with legs, breast or ass (I know your not gonna walk up to some lady who don't know to compliment her legs, ass or tits). Could it be a survival thing since disease (especially STD's) have become so prevalent?

Has anyone else just pondered this? I know millions of kinks exist and we do not understand fully they do but this is just our kink.

For me, the attraction is that feet are so varied in shape, actions, availability, and lots of other differences. They just fascinate me and have as long as I can remember. Doesn't matter if they are in person or in photos or on video/film. Feet seem to act independently of the rest of the body and that makes them interesting. Their presentation in footwear is more varied than presentation of any other body part, in my opinion. Sometimes I consider interaction with feet a game. If I can touch a woman's feet or shoes without her indicating that she knows it or doesn't care about it (or much rarer, that she accepts it) I win. If her reaction indicates non-acceptance, she wins. Probably the dominant reasons for liking feet are almost as varied as the individual fetishists.

I believe the prominent theory for the development of kinks is conditioning, like you mentioned, but not like how you described. It's not like someone came in and kept telling us we should like feet until we got convinced. And the other way around -people or society telling us we shouldn't like feet- wouldn't work either.
What it means is that in an early developmental stage -3 to 5 yo- something sweet, nice or exciting happens to kinksters and they make an association of something about that thing with sexuality, without even realizing it or maybe even remembering it.
For example, one can develop a foot fetish if they had a sister that liked to rub them in the belly with her foot while they were young. Or someone gave them a sweet hug and then farted so they developed a fart fetish :p

Now, this is a theory since it obviously cannot be proven experimentally or tested, (like many theories about human development and psychology) but sounds about right to me.
There may be something genetic to how prone one is to developing these kink associations, but it seems very unlikely to me that people can be genetically predisposed to specifically liking feet, or shoes, or farts, or bondage, or inflated body parts, or w/e.

Come on now, there is absolutely no need to feel bad about your fetish. Don't let the kink-shaming get to you. Thankfully, in the recent years all sorts of kinks are becoming more accepted, and that's good. There may be jokes about kinks thrown around here and there, but most kinks, including ours, are objectively funny.
And if you are at a point with a woman that you can tell her she has a nice butt or tits, without being rude, then you can certainly tell her that she has sexy feet, and that you like them. It's great to share your kinks and play with your partner consensually.

I, or rather my therapist, broached this subject with me as in the course of many sessions we have discussed my sexual preferences...eventually it's going to come up in conversation if you spend any length of time at all with the same one.

I recounted several incidents with my aunt as a 4-5 year old where I interacted with her hosed feet, or rather she with me - rubbing my belly, or commenting to me as I watched her shoeplay with curiousity, then for a time intentionally shoeplaying to accomodate my innocent interest - as well as observations I made of other women playing with their shoes at church or maybe a teacher, and how that made me feel, even though I didn't understand the feeling at the time. My therapist then asked me if I associated the act of sexual intercourse with her foot interacting with her shoe, particularly dipping (I had shared with her the terminology of the community). While she was asking me that, it was more of a rhetorical question to more or less explain to me that often this was the case, usually subconsiously and that erections and possibly jerking off to that imagery were partly an extension of that same association.

Plus, she also told me that though she hadn't really thought about it, she dipped and dangled quite a bit, though completely out of habit. She acted totally ok with the fact that people have this fetish - she also validated it with the caveat that as with all things that are ok, we should practice moderation and not let it control our decisions or take over every moment of our lives.

I can't explain my unique preference for female feet, even though I'm definitely more of a shoeplay kinda guy. I like feet, but slow reveals and active shoeplay are what drive me crazy. For me I think it's "accessible" sexual satisfaction. I like boobs and butts too, but really outside of a strip club, your spouse, or porn sites you won't see that in public. It's pretty easy to see a woman's feet in public and its even better when you get some shoeplay as a reveal!

Mine is basically shoeplay. Walking around a pool or a beach, I will always look at womens feet but that really doesn’t do anything for me. Now a woman standing dipping in high heels will stop me in my tracks.
I never got aroused or anything like that if my Mom or family member shoeplayed…not my thing. But I remember a babysitter I would go her house after school and wait for my parents to pick me up, she used to shoeplay a bit and would often ask me to massage her feet. That was Kindergarten until 2nd grade

Do tell ...did you massage her feet? That was probably your main foot fetish trigger right there?

What triggered me was the legendary threes company scene. I was six and got my first erection from it. It has to be hose for me to get aroused but of course I look at bare. It's all about footsie, shoeplay, just women in hosiery.

I saw an episode of law and order SVU where they did a brain scan of a foot fetishist head and how certain areas flared up when he saw feet. I'm sure our scans would be the same.

I grew up in a very girl-centric house, a lot of sisters and cousins who were always putting their feet up when they watched TV, etc. As one of the few boys around, sometimes I was just in the right place at the right time. My bitchy cousin once placed her bare feet on my shoulder. Someone even told her off for being so cavalier but hell, I was secretly loving it. I was discovering the thrill of submissiveness.
Another time, I found my sister, who's two years younger, hanging out inside a fort I made to read magazines and stuff. She wasn't as bitchy as my cousin, more the princessy type, and when she discovered the fort, she made herself at home and slid off her sandals. This led to a slapstick situation where I stuck my head inside to see what she was up to... and she started rubbing her feet in my face, trying to figure out what was below her! It went on long enough that it became awkward to reveal myself. When she finally realised it was me, she burst out laughing, like she just downgraded me into some poor sap who's been kissing her feet. I pretended to be annoyed and started tickling her feet as payback but in reality, that was my first taste of feet (literally) and I loved it. A few days later, I actually found her again using my fort, only this time she placed her bare feet on my lap to let me know that it's her's now and I've been demoted to being her footstool. We normally never even hung out much so I was stunned at how brash she was being. I guess she must have been thinking, "Well, I already rubbed then on his face, he won't mind if I do this!"
Moments like these really moulded me, I learnt quickly that I love being at a woman's feet and giving them the power.
