You might think it\u2019s weird, but aside from the genitals, feet are one of the most popular fetishes out there<\/strong>. And, even though science hasn\u2019t really figured out WHY people get sexually aroused by them, we\u2019ve still come a long way from Freud\u2019s \u201cpeople love things because they resemble penises\u201d<\/em> theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a quick look at why some fellows love feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SPECULATION AND ANECDOTES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Remember, none of these ideas are to say what is right or wrong \u2013 more of a collection of experiences that others might relate to.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. THE COVERED-UP THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people think that anything covered up could hold erotic elements when they are finally revealed.  The same concept as breasts or other body parts that we hide in different cultures tends to get more attention because they are withheld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. THE UNCOVERED THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opposite end of the scale is that women\u2019s fashion has our feet showing far more than men\u2019s (men don\u2019t have peep-hole high heels etc.), and because of this, women take care of their feet better (pedicures, or just good grooming). So, they look nicer and are easier to get randy over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. THE DOMINANCE THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether biblical washing of feet or the physical act of bending down, foot worship can definitely have submissive or humiliation elements to it. Since there are countless other things people enjoy because they are submissive acts, it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that feet land in this group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. THE BRAIN-MAP THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your brain has a map of your body and it lays out which parts (of the brain) control them. Apparently, the parts that are associated with the genitals are really close to the feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One man studying phantom limb syndrome theorizes (hasn\u2019t been proven yet) that the body\u2019s map could get crossed-wired and therefore find feet as sexy as a vagina or penis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. SEXUALIZATION THROUGH FASHION THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You would have been living under a rock to not notice the plethora of women\u2019s shoe designs. And, while science can\u2019t explain everything about the body, simple physical cues can<\/em> explain whey high heels are sexy \u2013 they flex the claves and butt, making it look like you\u2019re ready to have sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether through media or mating, we\u2019ve been conditioned to associate stilettos and pumps with sexiness. It\u2019s but a hop skip and a jump to feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. THE NURTURE THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s possible that a person\u2019s experiences growing up, collect into something that might evolve into a foot fetish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. THE NATURE THEORY<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another possible explanation is just that you\u2019re born that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

A foot fetish is no different than dealing with any other fetish. You find a person (or people) that share your interests and have open conversations, and consent,<\/strong> if you want to get into feet play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re with someone who doesn\u2019t know about your preferences, slowly<\/strong> ease them into the idea<\/strong> through several gentle conversations. After that, you slowly work your way up to whatever licking, sucking, or sniffing you\u2019re hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wonderful thing about this kink is that there is an easy way for both parties to enjoy it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOOT MASSAGES!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not often you find someone who doesn\u2019t like their feet rubbed after a long day at work. Or, you can take a pedicure class to bone up your skills, and then offer a free foot pampering for a lady\/gent that\u2019s into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the object of your affection has sensitive feet \u2013 and you might end up kicked in the face rather than with a hardon \u2013 you can still admire them without touching. Everyone loves compliments. Or your partner can just tease you with them, looking but not touching \u2013 a figurative mind fuck through your lowest extremities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the more adventurous, there are footjobs, trampling, and toeing <\/strong>(sticking your toes up the bum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

NO COOKIE-CUTTER KINK<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Remember, no two foot worshipers are created equal. Some like big feet, some like small. Others like bright nail polish, while others like as natural as possible. Some like smelly feet, others like squeaky clean. Then there are those who prefer them in shoes, or foot jobs, or things being stepped on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no right or wrong. To each their own, and floating whatever boat makes them happy (consensually, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
