Is foot fetishism real? I might have been conned!

[kylie_T]

I've been told that a bloke at work who took my shoes off and really closely studied my bare feet probably has afetish for feet. Is this real? He said he wanted to see my nail varnish and just examined them at point blank. I said in another thread how emabarrasing it was as my feet tend to really smell but he didn't say anything so I thought he was being polite or had no sense of smell! But a couple of people told me he was probably getting off on it I just laughed at them but they insisted it's real. I still kind of think they're winding me up but are they?

I guess that makes more sense. Hopefully, you will be more aware of feet perv's in future ;-)

Though I admit I would be extremely flattered if someone took a second look at my feet without exclaiming "My God, they belong to a woman??!!"

Have a good one everyone, I am going home now.

Well for goddness sakes don't google 'squish fetish' then kylie ;o)

[Backdrifter]

kylie, as a leg man I have to agree with Beryllium and say it's nice to see you're proud of your legs... but, speaking again as a leg-fancier, can it really be true that some women out there will, if I ask nicely, allow me to examine their legs? One or two other women here have said it's actually flattering to receive attention/compliments to their bodies but I would never have thought I could ask a question like that without being, at the very least, arrested.

Anyway back on topic, I do think the female foot can be a gorgeous thing - and yes it can be a major eroginous zone. Ankles can be sexy too! That wikipedia (wikipodia?!) reference says the foot is all curves... interesting observation, I think there's something in that. I actually like women's hands too, sometimes.

I heard it's something to do with the fact that you could only see your mums feet when you were crawling..hence foot/shoe fetishes.

A load of tosh Freud came up with? probably ;o)

[Backdrifter]

Pippa I suspect that is tosh. (And I think the wikipedia thing attributes it to Freud! Spot on). Wouldn't that theory mean we should all be foot fetishists? No, I'm with the shape thing - curvy arches and insteps, etc. And the (again in wikipedia) "usually hidden" thing too. Plus as I say they can be ultra-sensitive, tactile... tremendous. (and, like kylie's colleague, I find a bit of the nail varnish can be very good).

(No, I'm not her colleague).

I agree Backdrifter ~ in just the same way that boob lovers are harking back to breastfeeding..I always wondered if that referred to those who weren't breastfed too..

I also wonder that if this is the case, why am I not a lesbian?

Feet for the win!

[Goodsoulette]

i have met so many guys with feet fetishes. i think its cause when i go out I wear shoes that they find attractive. Although i am sure there are some guys who would love my old old trainers that i use to do the decorating in.

A guy also dropped to his knees when i walked in the pub wearing flipflops after a day at the beach. He also said feet rather loudly, i just stood there dumbfounded.

umm im having trouble posting a question, can anyone help me? if so can u leave a comment on this page

Why did you choose this question in particular?

[whiffey]

I can think of 2 reasons

Mozart certainly had the musical world at his feet. Secondly, if you are trying to get your foot in the door of question posting, where better to start than a question already about feet. I expect she would have chosen one about toe-nail clippings if this one hadn't been close at foot.
