Foot fetishism – what is it?
The shortest and most succinct definition of the term: foot fetishism is an attraction to feet, specifically of a sexual nature. When the feet themselves, the soles of the feet, the shoes, and other accessories on the feet evoke sexual arousal.
Everyone knows that men are aroused not only by a plunging neckline or a tight dress, but also by beautiful, elegant stiletto heels or graceful sandals. Well-groomed feet, a flawless pedicure, and even toe jewelry can attract the attention of men prone to foot fetishism.
When giving a foot massage to a partner, and it’s pleasurable not only for the woman but also for the man performing the massage, this can be considered foot fetishism. However, there are also women who happily take on a man’s foot massage, performing it long and diligently, and in the process, realize they’d like to kiss the toes, lick them, and touch their partner’s feet, for example, with their breasts or other intimate areas. This is foot fetishism.
So, it doesn’t matter whether a woman or a man enjoys the sight of the opposite sex’s feet and desires more intimate contact with them. What matters is that this is foot fetishism. It’s important to understand its different types and varieties. Anyone who has ever experienced such an attraction to feet must recognize that they are a foot fetishist.
Are foot fetishists an aberration or the norm?
This isn’t shameful, but completely normal: legs and feet are part of sexual play and something you enjoy looking at, touching, massaging, and caressing before or during intercourse. If the sight of women’s legs in red shoes arouses you, whether walking down the street or during sex, that’s also normal. Or men’s shoes or sneakers, which a woman would like to massage for a man after work and kiss gently while caressing herself. And that’s normal.
Foot fetishism becomes a disorder when feet become the only thing a person needs for sexual arousal and satisfaction. When the person whose feet they’ve found so appealing becomes completely uninteresting. When the entire process of satisfaction occurs solely with the feet and legs, this is a pathology. It’s worth considering, accepting, and trying to resolve the issue. Often, only specialists can correct such disorders.
If we talk about foot fetishism as a norm, as a type of sexual preference, then we can say that attraction to feet is one of the most harmless fetishes.
The only problem may be a partner who doesn’t understand and accept such a passion for their feet. Depending on the different types of foot fetishism, misunderstandings can range in severity.
For example, letting your partner massage and kiss your toes or putting on your shoes during sex is completely harmless and even normal. But if your partner asks you to take off your shoes and sniffs your feet after work, then wants to lick them, many will find this, at the very least, strange and disgusting.
Everyone has their own norm, and that’s understandable. If your partner enjoys feet, looking at them, massaging them, and even kissing them—there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! Someone who finds their feet so appealing will also enjoy a massage, as feet are packed with nerve endings. What’s acceptable and what’s considered abnormal can be understood by looking at some examples of foot fetishism.
The main types of foot fetishism:
- Trampling is when feet walk on the body
- Licking feet and toes
- Foot sniffing
- Stimulating the genitals with feet
- Licking and sucking toes, sticking tongue between toes
- Foot massage
- Admiring a special type of footwear.
According to statistics and surveys, foot fetishists are more common among men. This may be explained by the fact that women’s feet are more beautiful than men’s, as there are shoes and various foot adornments—from pedicures to stockings and toe jewelry. However, both men and women enjoy caressing their partners’ feet.
Conclusion
Foot fetishism is normal, it’s a matter of taste and preference. Some people simply understand and accept it, while for others, feet are just feet.
