It has been stated that Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. But, I'm not sure that is entirely correct. Maybe it's more like this: Opinions are like necks, everyone has one because hey, everyone really DOES have a neck.

Here is where I'd like to share a few thoughts regarding the varied opinions regarding foot fetishes.  While some find feet totally appalling, gross, disgusting and repulsive others are so moved, driven and spell-bound by them that they become a hidden obsession. Hidden because those with foot fetishes are teased relentlessly. As if feet were a joke or something, footlovers are made into buffoons, and footlover recipients are looked on as if they were mental rejects. Many sex discussion forums begin with the question: "I like feet, is that weird?" And many replies go like this: "Ick, feet are gross, but whatever turns you on." It's no wonder foot fetishists are likely to keep their desires to themselves. One Example.

If a person were to look at all the different fetish categories one would realize feet are probably the easiest to find gratification. Bare feet, shoes, legs, these are so readily viewable, publicly exposed and perfect for candid voyeurism. The emphasis is on candid. My own experience shows me men are more likely to have this type of fetish, and that they don't necessarily like to discuss it with others.

Take a look at the Urban Dictionary and you'll find 16 definitions of Foot Fetish given by those who understand it at it's most basic level.

Take a look at one blog and you'll find one example among millions of what I'll term podo-phobes those people who are, well, either afraid of feet or so closed-minded to others sexual preferences that feet are just one more in a list of many taboo items. MySpace.com has a sprinkling of groups devoted to footlovers and opposed. Those in favor outweigh those opposed by about 5 to 1. Google has oodles of search results. Where do you think I got all my data from?

How did this foot fetish occur?

There have been a variety of proposed explanations for the development of a foot fetish. Some suggest that the link between feet and sexual arousal is a direct result of the feet sharing the same sensory cortex as the genitals.

Another theory suggests that the foot’s shape is distinctly phallic, and can be viewed to replicate the female or male genitals, or the shape of a female body. A third theory notes that the feet and the genitals are in the same visual window, and when looking at one, the other will be in view as well.

 

Female Foot Fetishes

There are woman who enjoy feet as much as men. There are women who enjoy performing footsex, and there are those who are brought to orgasm by the stroking, massaging, and sucking of their toes. Granted, it's a rare occurrence, not many women have this ability. When you take into consideration the number of woman who cannot experience a vaginal or clitoral orgasm, this is incredible! If you are one of the men looking for your special foot fetish counterpart you may have many obstacles to overcome such as long distances and opposing marital status. Guys, don't despair, there is at least one sexual position for the men who have a foot fetish, and their partners who do not.

There are women who find the woman's (or man's) foot to be sexually arousing. They enjoy foot worship, giving pedicures, massages and penetrative footsex. Oftentimes a woman who is receiving footsex will also perform self-masturbation to achieve orgasm. One Hot Story here.

Foot Lovers vs. Foot Fetishists

"What makes a foot lover a foot fetishist? Both the intensity and exclusivity of the desire. If you'd rather have sex with your lover's feet than any other body parts, or if you must focus on feet to reach orgasm, or if you'd usually rather screw a shoe than a person, you're a foot fetishist. The technical term is "podophiliac." If you are turned on by attractive feet or sexy shoes, but your sexuality doesn't completely revolve around them, you're more what I'd call a foot lover, a foot appreciator, or maybe you're just playing footsie. You don't have to be a certifiable foot fetishist to appreciate feet, or to enjoy having your feet appreciated. "

Is It really a Foot Fetish?

Dr. Marty Klein, of www.sexed.org states: "I'd only call it a "fetish" if you *can't* enjoy sex without foot-worship." He goes on to say, "On the other hand, it also seems clear that people often acquire tastes for things serendipitously--experimenting with something seen in a film, getting turned on to something new by a trusted lover, etc. Unless your sexual preference for feet becomes a problem, let go of the search for a "cause" and just enjoy it." source

Foot Fetish Parties

They are there, underground, all around the country. Foot fetish parties in which clients and their objects of affection link up and get a foot-hold on each other. Google will most likely not turn up many links, these are events in which you really have to be in-the-know to find. Groups on the internet are a good start. Myspace and Yahoo, MSN, AOL. They are there if you care to take the time to find them. 

Aaron Thompson, a journalist for UNLV's Rebel Yell, wrote an exposé on a foot fetish party he himself attended. He goes on to write:

"In a common foot session, the gentleman who initiates contact can choose what he would like to do with the woman’s feet to ensure that she agrees. Since there is absolutely no sexual contact allowed, the woman must remain clothed at all times—with exception to her feet, of course.

A common session, according to the girls, involves a number of actions. The man can rub the woman’s feet, massage them, tickle them, smell them, suck, kiss or lick them and in rare cases, let the girl “trample” the male by standing on his chest and walking around or jumping on him."

His article is unbiased, given the fact that he is not a foot fetishist himself and he tries to maintain an objective point of view. Read his entire article here.
