Can’t you get enough of your partner’s foot? Do you find slender feet unusually attractive? For some people, this might feel weird or bizarre, but foot fetish is more common than you think! But what exactly is foot fetish? Foot fetish is (yes, you guessed it!) fetishizing someone’s feet, ankles, toes, and whatnot. When someone describes the sexiest body parts or the most attractive body parts, feet do not come high up on the ladder, but for people with foot fetishes, it is a different story.
There are little to no studies and research conducted on foot fetish, so it is hard to explain why some men grow to love and adore certain aspects of the feet. Foot fetish is not the same for everyone either, since some people find different things attractive or sexy about the feet. Some people might find it satisfying to look at feet, while others may prefer to touch or massage them.
Is foot fetish common?
Almost everyone has different types of sexual kinks, and foot fetish is one of them. A sexual kink stands for any sexual activity that is unconventional, meaning that it is usually not acceptable by traditional society. But don’t let that stop you from being satisfied in your sex life because foot fetish is definitely a kink that most people can relate to. Also, there is nothing to be ashamed of, even if the traditional society says otherwise. The world is changing rapidly, and so is the view on sexuality and intimacy.
Want to find out how common a foot fetish exactly is? In 2018, Dr. Justin Lehmiller conducted a study that revealed 14% of the participants had a fantasy about certain aspects of feet. He conducted the research for his book “Tell me what you want” and surveyed around 4000 Americans regarding their sexual fantasies. This is more than enough evidence to figure out that fantasizing about feet is not that uncommon after all.
Why do people have foot fetish?
Why people attain to have a foot fetish is still a mystery. Even though there are not many studies to support this, some people might develop a foot fetish due to childhood experiences. This means that your earliest sexual encounters might have included arousal from feet. For example, you and your first partner might have engaged in sexual activity that consisted of feet-related pleasurable moments. A simple reason why you develop a fantasy or liking towards an odd body part is because aroused people find many things interesting that non-aroused people may find disturbing. This can include not being disturbed by your partner’s underwear or their sweaty body when you are aroused. In the same manner, you could develop a liking towards the foot as well, even though it is dirty and smelly. However, It is possible for you to develop a foot fetish without any of these experiences too.
What kind of foot fetishes are there?
Even though foot fetish is common, not everyone who has a foot fetish is the same. The likes and dislikes of people with a foot fetish can vary drastically. This means that while some people find perfectly maintained feet to be attractive, others may find sweaty and smelly feet sexy. Some might be drawn to small feet, and some to larger sizes as well. It is also common for people with foot fetishes to be drawn to foot accessories such as toe rings, anklets, high heels, or simply socks!
A person with a foot fetish may gain sexual gratification just by looking at and admiring the feet. At the same time, some may need to engage in touching, massaging, or even foot-related intercourse to feel fully sexually satisfied. Foot worship is another kink that some develop where they grow to worship their partner’s feet.
The bottom line is that everyone is different when it comes to sexual kinks and preferences. So having a partner with whom you can openly communicate your sexual desires can be helpful for you to be fully satisfied in your sex life.
Misconceptions and social stigma about foot fetish
Foot fetish is certainly an unconventional sexual kink to many. However, having a foot fetish does not mean that you are mentally challenged or that you cannot lead a healthy and happy intimate relationship. The key to a happy relationship is to be open and honest with your partner about your desires. Suppose your partner does not find your desires comfortable with their desires. In that case, you can still opt to enjoy yourself by engaging in fun activities like pedicures, foot massages, and watching foot-related porn. However, forcing your partner or doing criminal activities to fulfill your desires may cause problems in people who have foot fetishes.
Is foot fetish porn trending?
There is no doubt that foot fetish has earned a solid genre in the porn industry. Due to the mainstream adult video industry, the social stigma about certain sexual fetishes is reducing drastically. There is a plethora of internet porn that includes foot fetish and various ways how you can engage in it. If you are discovering your sexual desire for feet, watching porn is a great way to educate yourself about the nature of this sexual activity. However, it is worth noting that these videos are well-rehearsed and scripted, so your reality and expectations of foot fetishism will vary. This means you should not compare or have higher expectations of yourself or your partner when it comes to sexual fetishes.
Having sexual fetishes is not a new thing; however, the social stigma and the social shaming around the topic is surely reducing in contemporary society. This means that you have no reason to be ashamed of a sexual fetish such as a foot fetish as long as it does not harm you, your partner, or anyone else. Getting aroused by feet is similar to getting aroused by breasts or assets, but just a tad bit unconventional. But this does not imply that you are not free to go on exploring your sexual desires and fantasies.
