[ENG] What Did You Do Before the Internet?

[Dead Parrot]

Remember that time before the internet? When you thought you were the "only one" who liked this?

What did you do? How did you look for and collect material?

Even though I got the bug at a young age I wasn't able to do much until I left home. I was overseas for the first few years so it was mainly magazines for me: Variations, Club and Club International were my favs even though they didn't have much foot fetish content.

When I got back to the states there was an adult bookstore near the post and I discovered Leg Show magazine. Even though I never saw an under table photo shoot the magazine was very good. I bought it on a fairly regular basis from about 1990 to 1998.

I would not normally keep the whole issue. I'd remove the photoshoots I liked and put them in a binder. It was the same with stories that I'd find in the magazine, as well as from Variations or any of the other erotic story magazines. I'd cut them out and paste single stories one per page, kind of like typesetting and aligning columns on an old newspaper.
I had a few good ones, but most of them were as short, or shorter than the excerpts I post here.

As Leg Show became more popular other titles came out, Leg Action and Leg Tease for instance. I took advantage of the classifieds in the back and bought footjob and shoeplay tapes for the VCR.

Occasionally I'd correspond with the guy who made the tape and we'd exchange titles of movies and TV shows that had foot or undertable content.

At one point I had written a script for a custom movie, but after initially contacting a modeling agency to do it for me the deal fell through. Oh well.

It wasn't until about 1995/1996 that someone made an organized effort regarding under the table scenes and experiences. I talked about this here:

By 1998 I had a pretty good movie list, and had purchased quite a few VCR tapes. I also purchased a compilation tape from the newsletter folks that had quite a few undertable scenes.

I'd also rent tons of B grade sex/thriller movies looking for scenes. More often than not I'd fast forward through the movie which save me time (but not money!). I don't do this anymore but I'm sure some of you do, and I'm grateful!

In short, it was difficult, slow and required a lot of patience before the net came along. I felt more like a collector then, cherishing each tape and story I found.

The internet changed almost everything for me. I disovered Nova through Yahoo! and bought some of his tapes. I have tapes from other sources too.

Before the internet, I just had to look wherever I was which was a real pain and time consuming. During my Junior college days, I would play a little footsie with strangers or try to spot danglers or dippers. Now I have a ton of videos which have helped satisfy my fetish. But there is still nothing like actually being there to see the action.

The ideal thing is to get a g/f who understands it and will indulge you, but those seem hard for me to come by. I think it is risky to divulge the fetish to any new lady. I think lady will have a different opinion, and if I meet a lady who is really conservative, I would never mention it. I have gotten different reactions from women. One said it was no big deal and another dropped me like I had the plague.

My closest male friends still think I am sort of a freak for thinking about such things, but I like what I like and don't plan to change anytime soon. Note: I am still into the rest of the female body, but probably not quite as much as shoes and feet.

Would you please share you footsie with strangers experiences plaese?Where?Who?I have no problem sharing mine and we would all love to hear them.

I don't know why my messages appear twice. It is not intentional....

I think I misspoke when I mentioned playing footsie with strangers. I think a more accurate term would be shoesie which I enjoy. I simply let the lady make contact with my shoe w/o her knowing it. It has occured twice in recent memory.

The first lady was in her early 40's or maybe late 30's and she was in the library. She had her leg crossed and was wearing some type of mule or clog and she wasn't dangling it or anything like that. But then she crossed her other leg and I decided to sit down across the table from her but not directly; I was to her right. She had her left leg crossed towards me. I could see she would let that mule/clog slip off her foot slightly and then slide it back on a little bit. There was an empty chair directly across from her. I pulled that chair back slightly and could barely see her foot because of the way she was sitting. She was using the chair leg to push her clog back on, so I simply pulled the chair back slightly and put my foot there instead. It worked. Now she was letting her clog slide way off and pushing it back on with my shoe. Sort of exciting. She did it repeatedly; maybe 15 times and never caught on to it. So I tried removing my foot and pulling the chair away from her and pretending to put books there. Now she wasn't letting the clog slide off much. After several minutes I put the books on the table and slid the chair back in slightly but put my foot in front of the leg. Now she had to extend her foot a little more to push the clog back on but it worked for her nonetheless. I got a nice view. She did this several times and finally got a call and then left.

Believe me this site has saved me so much money.Sometimes I would go to buy videos and guess if there would be a dinner table scene hopefully leading to footsie.I wasted lots of money and was rarely successful.But I dont worry about that anymore.

I think the videos are the best way to go unless you are fortunate enough to have a g/f who will indulge your fantasies. I'm glad websites and other online material came along. It has saved me lots of time, money, and trouble. I have several videos that I "use" now. I have found that sometimes it is easier just to view the video rather than going throuh the arduous process of trying to find the right lady. The only thing is that if the lady knows you like feet/shoes, then when she indulges your wishes, it is no longer really candid. It is like posing for the camera; except there is no camera. It is your eyes. So that part isn't as good.

I just met a lady who found out (the hard way) that I have a foot/shoe fetish. Of course her daughter thinks I am some sort of weirdo, as you would expect, but the lady seems to be accepting it ok. The bad thing is that this has turned into a dating relationship and I really wasn't looking for one. I can't afford it either since I am not working. But I told her that and she seemed to understand. we'll see. She seems like a nice lady although a tad older than I would have liked. But you can't have everything (well at least I can't) so I am not complaining. As long as I can keep control of my finances, I will be ok. She hardly owns any pumps, so I have resorted to buying a few things off ebay. That is a great place to buy clothing and shoes. I guess that's it for now.

In high school, in the 60s, when I first realized how strong my interest was I was satisfied with seeing girls' and teachers' shoeless feet. And always out in public I was on the lookout. I looked over any magazines I could find and in those days, there were plenty of ads and stories about feet. I remember reading a book my father bought from a book club and it had a sentence about a woman feeling the corrugated pedal under her nylon foot when driving. In the late 60s, at college, I discovered how good movies and TV were for feet. I haunted movie theaters as much for sitting next to unknown women as for seeing the movie.

In the 70s I started extensive travels and went to graduate school and worked in libraries. Great places to see feet, especially in the nonpublic areas. I had wonderful experiences on long transoceanic flights and on escorted tours around the world. By the early 80s I had discovered the Internet. I remember reading in Time magazine about this weird newsgroup, alt.sex.fetish.feet and then I was into the online world bigtime. About the same time, I got my first VCR and also started buying tapes from Johnny Nova, FM Concepts and others. I also discovered the Toe Tales videotapes which are very expensive but also very much to my taste. Unfortunately, I disposed of my tape collection when moving.

Now I am getting too old for all these pursuits and concentrating on movies. I can't get out that much to go look for feet. I also find that online is not the big thrill it once was and I am drifting away from participating as much as I once did. It's like I have heard it all and now I just glean new information when I can. Movies remain my biggest interest. If there was no Internet, I'd be just as satisfied with pursuing them secretly and quietly. In fact, with clips from 3,000 movies, I have enough to satisfy me for quite a while. Now if they made even mainstream movies illegal, then I'd go to war!

I basically hung out at libraries and the such. I didn't really go to movies that much because it is too dark to really see anything. The internet changed everything for me. I have a ton of videos; some good and some not so great. But there is nothing like actually being there, as they say. It must be that 3d type of thing. But videos are the next best thing and a lot less time consuming. I am always looking for new material, but I have gotten a little more careful about my selection, since videos cost around $25.00 each and they usually have scenes that don't appeal to me at all. I'm in my 50's now (old man!) and I still relish the sight of a high heel dangler. Don't see many these days though. Its either boots or slides, or tennies. Boo-hiss!!

Feeture, thanks for sharing, that was a great post!

You've always seemed the proverbial masked man on the board: swooping in to save the day with a new clip or caps that we were looking for and then disappearing. Now we have some idea of your background.
