Why do I Have a Foot Fetish? 

Foot Fetishism is Common 

Foot fetishism is a common sexual trait, not more exceptional than food or clothing fetishes. Ever got a hard-on while eating dinner? Or found no attraction to a lady’s figure until you saw the stiletto heels on her feet? It is nothing to be ashamed of. There are countless men and women on BDSM and fetish dating sites with a particularly strong sexual attraction to feet. 

Causes of Foot Fetish in Men 

Do men suddenly feel an attraction to female feet, or is it an inborn characteristic developed from birth? Let’s examine some causes of foot fetishes

  • You may have had a sexual experience that revolved around feet. This erotic experience could be anything that led to female feet being implanted in your head, as being associated with some form of eroticism. 
  • Psychologically too, the man may desire to be submissive. Some men prefer to be whipped and called names, while others desire to pet, rub, and even lick feet. 
  • It may be that you are repulsed by feet. This repulsive body part, along with a perception that sex is a disgusting act, leads men to seek pleasure from it. It’s a way of reconciling the two for a climatic, sexually satisfying end. 
  • Nothing. Yes, sometimes, there is no real cause. If history has taught us anything, any part of a woman is enough to drive a man crazy. 

 

Major Myths about Foot Fetish 

You, Will, Outgrow it 

A common misconception is that with time, these exceptional desires will find their way out of you. That could not be farther from the truth. Once embedded in your brain, a fetish implies you are limited in your arousal. Perfect stimulation only occurs when you are around feet.

  • Perversion 

Unlike pedophilia and necrophilia, it would be unjust to classify a foot fetish as a perversion. It is no more perverted than someone who eats chocolate as an aphrodisiac or gets turned on by a blonde as opposed to a brunette. The connection is to an item that sets off sparks in your libido.

  • Nothing else counts 

As much as they do have a strong, sexual connection with feet, they also find other body parts attractive. Like any normal human being, they are attracted to lips, noses, eyes, legs, butts, and of course, breasts.

  • Hide Your Feet

This annoying stereotype is closely related to how some view gays and lesbians. Simply because people have a desire you cannot fathom does not make them dangerous. They may be interested in your personality, or your feet aren’t their type.

Foot Fetish as Part of BDSM Game 

There are online games dedicated to foot fetish aficionados. If you seek a game or two, what with social distancing and all, visit these sites to get your foot fetish game on. However, if you want to introduce this as part of BDSM, ask your partner if they find it alluring or disturbing. 

Because it involves little intrusion on one’s body, it is a safer addition to BDSM than most Sadism masochism activities. It also wouldn’t require much in terms of safe words, and perhaps the dominant one would now be licking feet.

How Foot Fetishes Affect Relationships

  • Most men with foot fetishes will judge the attractiveness of a woman based on her feet for starters. It leaves the female a bit uncomfortable knowing he’s eyeing other women’s feet. It’s kind of like admiring other women’s butts, only not. 
  • He may help you develop a habit of good foot hygiene. If you’ve struggled with such, dating someone with a foot fetish could prove advantageous. He won’t mind taking you shoe-shopping, like the diva you are. 
  • If hand jobs are your thing, a foot fetish needs a foot job every once in a while. It may border between disgusting and extremely boring to some. 
  • On the other hand, you may be spoilt for choice regarding the number of foot massages you receive. Anyone navigating offices all day needs a decent foot massage. You may not ask for one while dating these guys.  
  • If you are the fetishist, divert your attention, and hers, from her feet. Buy her lingerie, a make-up set, or take her shopping. A poll published on cosmopolitan.com deserves attention, where people of both sexes with foot fetish share their thoughts and experiences regarding this feature.

Dating a foot fetishist is not weird. They admire and appreciate more of you differently. The right partner for BDSM isn’t easy to come by; neither are the intricacies of these escapades. However, a foot fetishist is low maintenance and requires little or no dialogue to reiterate desires. Simply clean your feet, spend less time in high heels (because feet need to breathe) and prepare for impromptu massages.
