Everythink you need to know about foot fetishes

Considered by some specialists in sexuality as a paraphilia (sexual preference outside the normal range), podolatry can be defined as an attraction to the feet, as if they were an erogenous zone.

What exactly is a foot fetish?

A foot fetish is a sexual interest in feet. In other words, feet, fingers and ankles excite you. This particular preference for feet can vary from person to person. Some people get excited just looking at their feet. Others may find painted nails, jewelry or other adornments attractive. Still others derive sexual satisfaction from foot treatments such as foot massage or foot worship.

Is it  common to have feet fetishes?

A foot fetish is considered a conventional sexual fetish. That is, it is more commonly spoken and understood than some other types of fetishes. A Trusted Source study found that nearly half of people surveyed said they had a foot fetish, or podophilia.

Why do people have feet fetish?

As with clothing preferences or musical styles, sexual tendencies vary. Every person is attracted or even repelled by things that others may consider mundane.
So it is unclear what is attractive about feet, but a few theories have been offered to explain why some people are attracted to feet.

Biology in the foot fetish

Your feet are covered in nerve endings, and the nerve endings equate to greater sensations, often more intense. Tickling, rubbing and massaging can feel immensely better on the feet.

Aspect of humiliation in the foot fetish

A psychological element of a foot fetish is humiliation. Feet are often considered “beneath” people. That is, some people think of the feet as a lower part of the body. This creates a dynamic that some people find attractive: they like to feel “inferior” to their partner. They like having feet on their bodies as a form of power play.

Aspect of domination in the foot fetish

Submission and domination is a power game for some couples. The feet are just one part of this structure.

If your partner has a foot fetish, he may want you to treat him like a human footrest. He will find satisfaction in letting you dominate him so that he can worship at your feet.

If you have a foot fetish, you may find it exciting to kneel at your partner's feet, adore them and belittle yourself for them. You can encourage him to put his feet all over your body, putting you in a position of submission.

Does the type of attachment matter in the game of foot fetish?

Shoe and sock fetishes are closely related to foot fetishes. Many people who love feet may also have a particular interest in shoes, jewelry, or other foot adornments. Some people prefer barefoot partners. They like an unobstructed view of the entire foot, from top to bottom. Others might like flip-flops or sandals that expose just a little of their feet – a peek-a-boo, if you will.

High heels also attract a lot of attention from the foot fetish. In fact, entire channels on adult sites are dedicated to people with a tendency to bounce.

Stockings and/or pantyhose can also be attractive to people who are sexually attracted to feet or shoes.

How to talk about foot fetish with a partner

These tips can help you direct the conversation if you want to talk about this topic with a partner. Or if your partner has brought it up with you, these ideas can help you decide if it's something you'd be happy to try or not.

If he brings the subject to you

Games and activities are a fun way for couples to get to know each other and shake things up in the bedroom. If your partner has recently talked about being interested in feet, you may have questions about what is involved and how you should respond.

Listen and ask questions

Not everyone has a positive reaction when a partner talks about their interest in feet. This can make revealing the fetish worrying. If your partner has been honest with you, that's a positive sign.

He may just say that he finds your feet attractive or that he really likes a specific shoe you wear. He may show interest in your feet, offering to massage yours after a long day. They may ask to kiss your feet during sex.

Everyone's interests are different, so you need to hear from your partner what he likes best. These questions can stimulate conversation:

⦁ What activities do you like the most?
⦁ Do you want me to reciprocate in some way?
⦁ What would you like to do first?
⦁ Is this preliminary? Is sex the goal of the foot fetish?

Decide how you feel

You don't owe your partner an answer right now. Ask him to give you time to think about what he said. If feet are just a no-go zone for you, it's important to know, both for you and your partner.

Start slow

Maybe let him massage your feet first. Build for other activities as you feel comfortable. If you don't like something, say so. Honesty is essential.

If you want to bring the subject to your partner

While your partner may not share the same interest in feet that you do, he may have other curiosities he'd like to explore. Being honest about your fetish can set in motion a virtuous cycle that allows both of you to find new fun activities that you enjoy.

Be honest

If you've ever had a negative reaction to telling a partner that you like feet, you may be hesitant to talk about it with a new partner. But it is vital to the relationship that you are true to yourself, your curiosities and your preferences.

Find the right moment

Consent for any sexual activity is critical, including foot play. The wrong time to broach the subject is in the heat of the moment. Instead, look for opportunities like when the two of you are relaxed together or shopping.

Mention that you like to rub your feet or that you like the way your feet look in certain shoes. This can open up the conversation in a low pressure environment.

Come prepared

Your partner may have a lot of questions. Be ready to discuss and engage in honest dialogue. The willingness to talk about when and how you discovered this interest is good.

Offer examples of activities that interest you. If something isn't of interest, he might want to know too. For example, not everyone wants a blowjob on the foot.

Offer to take things at his own pace.

If your partner is new to footwork, you can introduce them slowly. Let him know what you plan to do. So that if he doesn't like something or finds it uncomfortable, don't do it.

Things to try

Most people have a sexual curiosity or interest that goes beyond vanilla sex. Fetishes and kinks are nothing to be ashamed of or hide from. In fact, they are a fun way for partners or consenting individuals to explore and have fun. These activities are popular with people who love feet:

Pedicure

A pedicure or foot bath will satisfy your foot fetish and give them a well-groomed look. What not to like about this?

Foot selfies

Sexy selfies are a great tease, so why not a sexy selfie of your feet? If your partner has a thing for your feet, you can send him an attractive photo. You can even model socks or shoes if he likes that.

If you like feet, ask your partner to send you a tempting picture of their feet. It's a fun and easy way to explore different types of sensuality.

Foot massage or tickling

The feet have many nerve endings compared to other parts of the body. Massage or tickling can lead to intense sensations that even people with no other interest in playing with their feet find arousing. Offer to massage your partner's feet one night while they're sitting on the couch. If nothing else, it's a great way for your partner to relax while getting a little stimulation.

Kissing the foot or sucking the toe

Feet and toes are sensitive to touch, so even a gentle kiss can be incredibly sensual. Bend your knees and kiss your partner's toes.

If your partner wants to suck your toes, you can add some of this to your routine. It's all fun, so don't be afraid to mix things up.

Foot Job

Some people with foot fetishes enjoy a little genital contact now and then. If your partner is up for it, ask him to rub his feet over your groin area. He may even slide his feet over your penis or penetrate your anus with his toes.

Keep in mind that the feet are not as agile as the hands, so this may take some practice. Oh, and cut your nails if you're planning on penetration.

Are there risks to consider?

Playing with feet does have possible risks. People who enjoy this form of erotic play should consider:
⦁ Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Some STIs are transmitted by genital contact, but others can be shared by touching skin to skin. Genital and oral herpes and human papillomavirus (HPV) can be transmitted through skin contact. Syphilis is also shared through oral contact with wounds.
⦁ Skin infections: Molluscum contagiosum is a skin infection that causes lesions or raised bumps. It can be shared through skin-to-skin contact. Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection. Fungal infections such as athlete's foot can also be shared through contact with infected skin or even shoes that a person with the infection wore.
⦁ Cuts. Sharp nails can cut the delicate skin around the penis or anus. Keep your toenails trimmed and clean and ask your partner to do the same if they plan to get their feet involved in the action.
