Let's address the elephant in the room...


So I doubt many of the readers or contributors to this blog are interested in foot fetishism, however I'm sure we are all not naive enough to ignore the fact that it exists, so if that's what you are here for, we are sorry to disappoint - however if you are curious about foot fetishism here is an extract from a very well written and accessible piece;

From a wonderful article in Glamour available here...

Are foot fetishes normal?

The simplest answer is: Yes. Foot fetishes are normal. All fetishes are normal, as long as everyone involved in putting them into IRL action is a consenting, sober adult. We live in a sex-negative culture that demonises anything that falls outside of heterosexual, vanilla (PIV intercourse) sex. A fetish? Phew. That sure shakes the hell out of our puritanical roots.

Foot fetishes are incredibly common. This is likely due to the accessibility of feet (we all have them), as well as the pleasure experienced when having one’s feet touched. “There are a lot of nerve endings in the feet so it's actually not surprising that we would also be aroused by seeing other people’s feet. The way they look, the way they are adorned, and the way we want to worship and/or touch them” are all understandable from a pyschological perspective, says  Moushumi Ghose, MFT, a licensed sex therapist.
