What I like about this forum is how we can be open and honest with one another. So I'll do my best to explain why I'm a foot fetishist, and in return, I simply ask that you don't judge me for it. Deal?
I've always liked feet for as long as I can remember. Ever since I was 4, 5, 6 years old at day-care, I remember being attracted to feet because the hot college girls who worked there used to walk around barefoot all the time. It's important to note how I perceived this at such a young age. When I was a little kid and still curious about sex and the body, etc., I saw going barefoot as a form of nudity.
Think about this for a minute: during normal social situations we cover up the feet in the same way we cover up the rest of the body. People don't normally walk around barefoot in public. So back in my early years when I would see those hot college girls take off their shoes, my interpretation was that they got a little bit naked. Does that make sense?
That way of looking at it has stuck with me into adulthood, even though I now know it's silly. Feet are normally covered up, and when they're not, it's arousing. In other words: the lack of clothing is what causes the initial attraction. Let's say a girl is wearing flip flops. I look at her feet and say "damn, those look nice." But when she takes the flip flops off, her feet instantly become 10 times sexier. Clearly, not much has changed since I was 5.
But of course there's more to it. As I grew up and became more observant I began to also like the way they look. I began to appreciate the shape, curves, and features of the female foot. Good feet on a woman look soft, smooth, delicate, feminine, and beautiful. They initiate a feeling of comfort in me and a feeling of appreciation and affection for the girl who has them. I simply find them very attractive. I'm having a hard time writing this part of my post because it's difficult to explain in words a purely natural set of reactions. What it boils down to is I like them because they look nice. They may look ugly to you, but I see a certain beauty in them that I consider myself lucky to be able to discern.
And yes, I have standards and criteria. Not all feet are attractive. Quite often, I see girls walking around in flip flops and I wonder why she's showing those things off. Some girls have disgusting feet. Feet that are excessively bony, feet that look filthy, and end toes that look like a painful red stump are all no-nos. They have to be obviously well taken-care of. They should appear smooth, free of blemishes, preferably small, a strong arch, the toes should be of proper length relative to the others, nail polish is nice, etc. Basically: the "cuter" they look, the better. It's worth mentioning that the attractiveness of a girl and the attractiveness of her feet don't always add up. Hot girls can have horrible feet and unattractive girls can have gorgeous feet. It all depends on the person.
I understand why most people think feet aren't sexy. Really, I get it. However, I don't think attraction to feet is bizarre. I think it's perfectly natural. I feel like I need to defend myself because people who don't like feet seem to think that foot fetishists are sick perverts. That's not the case at all. You know how guys check out the ass on a woman as she walks away, or stares at her boobs as she talks to you? That's normal, right? Well, we check out feet instead. Same difference. There's tons of worse fetishes out there. It's not like we get off on eating shit or anything, we're just attracted to a different part of the body. Keep in mind, also, that foot fetishism is BY FAR the most common fetish reported by human males. There's a lot more foot fetishists out there than you realize. It's likely that you personally know several in your own life. We just don't often talk about it for fear of being judged. That's why I'm taking a leap of faith by being completely open with you all about this.
Trying to explain this to non-foot fetishists is difficult. I've been writing this post for over an hour. I keep writing stuff and erasing it because it doesn't make sense or because it isn't clear. Looking over what I've written so far, I've done a terrible job of explaining this. I'm sorry. I suppose what that proves to me is that even I don't fully understand it. I'm sure there's all sorts of psychological factors that play into this that I'm unaware of. Here's the bottom line: I like feet because they're fucking sexy. Period.
