Why Feet?

Watch the movie Boomerang with Eddie Murphy

Now fidst off i wanna make it very clear im not shaming or degrading anyone kinks or fetishes either this comment is just my person view and thought on the question. Literally take it with a grain of salt if it offends well grow up.......... Im right there with you i never seen the appeal of feet or how they even remotely come off as sexy or attractive at all. I wont let anyone put their feet on me i hate touching my own feet. If you think about it feet are in shoes or boots all day serial hours sweating and whatever you step in like *** crap oil fuels on the ground even though you wipe the shoe off there still some of that on said shoe that gets tracked all over the place even into your home and you take them off and walk around youre stepping in all that stuff you brought in and it goes in someone's mouth. Personally I think that is the most disgusting thing a person can do. I know its not much different than oral sex or rimming but still ugh 😑 gross but hey to each their own on feet some love it some find it disgusting

I love my wife’s feet. As a matter of fact it’s one of the things I noticed about her that completed the full package. She’s hot from head to toe. I remember the first time I was aroused by a girl’s feet, I think I must have been about ten or eleven. I remember thinking how sexy her foot looked in that shoe, and have been an admirer ever since. I wash my wife’s feet, I ***t them, oil and massage them, and yes, put them in my mouth and lick between her toes during sex. Which she loves because she says it heightens her sensations. She’s always kept them clean, soft, and always well kempt. Plus if I can stick my tongue in her ass hole, between her toes isn’t that much worse in my book. So yeah, a woman could be a perfect 10, but if she has busted feet it’ll knock her down to an 8. And she’ll need to keep her socks on. Haha

It's interesting... I've never had a particular thing for feet but if a domme orders me to kiss, lick or suck hers or worship her shoes or boots I enjoy it a lot because I've been ordered to. But there is a long history of foot fetish. For example, during plagues and pandemics it was seen as a safe thing to engage in.

Not sure about everyone else but I can say it's the aesthetic for me. I also get off on people calling me weird for it but still allowing me to see or touch them. I think it really depends on the person and circumstances surrounding the encounter.

[Do****]

This is an interesting read

[al****]

Great question. I don’t have an answer because it’s not my thing although I dabble in many areas feet being acceptable. The ones that protest any involvement of feet are the ones that get off the hardest when they are involved

[Re****]

Personally its the denigrating aspect of something that can step on you and gets sweaty from labor and smells... though that's just me

It's psychological - a phallic object. Also, there's an override mechanism in the brain that will allow someone who wouldn't drink out of a community water bottle to put their tongue in a butthole. Sex is strange, but fun!
As far as feet, I prefer the smelly ones 🤷🏻‍♂️
That pheromone hit 😍

So I dont have a source but I have seen it around a few times and it seems reasonable, but the reason feet specifically are so often a fetish is because the area of the brain that lights up for feet and for genitals are right next to each other - and so its easier for the chain of neurons for arousal and feet to trigger the same as when people see genitalia. Makes sense in my head they'd be close to each other as your brain has to deal wigh them similarly vis a vis temperature control as opposed to the rest of the body. Could be absolute bollocks im not a neurosurgeon but have seen it mentioned a few times over the years

Yes and no.

So, this is correct, but often misunderstood.

So what happens is folk saw this explanation and often repeat without fully understanding - and so it kinda goes through different varations into what sounds plausible but isn't quite correct.  A lot of what triggers us still isn't entirely known, there is evidence linking to conditioning, environment, etc. but it's not conclusive.   Things like genitals and breasts are stuff we tend to have had sexualised our entire lives - and, like, we assume everyone is aroused by them - they're not.  It's sometimes even when we say "are you more boobs or bum?" But certainly most people go through a lot of the same conditioning, environment, etc. etc. 

The thing with the kinda... "crossed wires" relates to people having their feet touched/kissed/etc.   So some people who've never thought about people at their feet suddenly find they enjoy it a lot more than they thought.  (Mind, there are a couple of people I can think of who are aware how much they enjoy it so are selective who they permit at their feet)

So with me. I’ve never really liked “feet”. Like I can look at someone in flip flops with pretty feet. It would never cross my mind. When it comes to the sheets I love them! I love to kiss and hold them, it’s such an unusual part of the body to touch, kiss, taste etc. so during the act it makes it that much better to have someone to where it’s a part do the flow. When it comes to missionary I love the looking at the sole of a women’s foot bc it’s apart of the body you really never see in the “everyday life”. So to be in the act and looking at the sole of a women foot just does something to me.

[te****]

Thanks for all the input. I honestly felt this was a less intimate but thought provoking “Why…” question as opposed to some of the other kinks out there haha. I’m loving the safe space vibes everyone has

[gr****]

Thanks for the input. Never was into feet but that totally makes sense. I think I would be into it but my wife is totally NOT. Haha

[co****]

You know for me, I have always just made the association that a women well taken of beautiful feet, also has well taken care of beautiful bodies. They are almost never exclusive. Although I have seen some beautiful women with trainwreck feet, and that ruins the image for me and I cant be attracted to them. I suck toes during the act because for me it shows the woman you are completely into every part of them and they submit more to you. And they almost all love it. Part of being a good lover is making your partner feel good about themselves and to feel like they are fully chosen by you. Maybe im a weirdo, but thats the main things for me.

forgot tactile as a possibility

[Gr****]

For me I think it’s her ***ted toenails. I’m not exactly sure tbh. I just like it. I guess how some people like ***s. It’s just a preference.

[my****]

It's everything some are short and thick some of them long and skinny some are ***ted some fresh out of the shower me personally shit girl walks around all day cum home I take your shoes and socks off start rubbing them little kissing then I lose control got to make sure each and every one receives the same attention and licked and sucked clean I pre wash them before she gets in the shower if no shower I'm tongue baaaathing top bottom front back hell man got to do what man got to do if it takes rest of the night so be it

[Wr****]

When ever somebody asks me if I have a foot fetish, I always reply to them " I don't have a foot fetish per say, I just appreciate all aspects of a woman in her entirety. I'm not grossed out by them, but I don't automatically get turned on if I see bare feet. I do however have a massive leg fetish...

I actually learned the answer as to why some people have a foot fetish while earning my Psychology degree in college. I’m not sure if I’m going to explain it clearly enough with words, but I’ll try.

In your brain, there is an area that processes all of our physical sensations. It interprets sensory data and helps us figure out where the sensation came from and what exactly is its nature (ie., soft or hard touch, hot or cold, ***). The entire body is essentially mapped out here, and parts that have high sensitivity such as fingertips and lips, take up a larger area than those with less sensitivity. On this so called map, the feet happen to be right next to the genitals. In some cases, the signals meant to reach only the feet get crossed and wind up instead in the genital region causing someone to become aroused by feet.

Hope this is interesting and maybe helps explain. I found it fascinating myself.

this comes up a lot and it is technically correct but misses a small fact

this is true for the person RECEIVING foot worship/play.  That if someone touches or kisses their feet, especially with sensations that are nice, it causes arousal.  I know many women like this (and also those who receive no arousal)

In itself that is a reason why some women like their feet played with (if, of course, they're aware they are one of the people who do) or in some cases, are very strict at who they let at their feet

However for the person aroused by feet - the person we would say has a foot fetish, in itself they don't benefit from this sensitivity since it's not their body.

Oh wow I never would’ve guessed that. Thanks for sharing

If the feet are well maintained and clean thats a very good indication that so is everything else. That's why I like feet. Well pretty feet anyway

[sc****]

I like woman's feet in pantyhose

[pu****]

I myself find some women's feet to be extremely sexy ones with high arches slender and unblemished with bunions corns etc that are soft uncalossed with ***ted nails
