So, today I continue with another installation of my “answering fan questions” blog… Creative name, I know. This one is all about foot fetishism:
As a man with a healthy interest in sex, I am aware of a fair number of “unconventional” sexual practices, fetishes and assorted kink. Yet one particular predilection completely mystifies me: The Foot Fetish.
Try as I might, I can not comprehend why certain men find the feet of women sexually arousing. On my personal list of appealing feminine features, the foot ranks somewhere just above the armpit (no hate mail from you armpit fetishists please).
Camille, as the star and producer of the foot fetish site: “i Use My Feet,” I humbly request that you enlighten us regarding this most perplexing of topics. I just plain don’t “get” the foot fetish. Please help me understand Camille.
Definitely a very interesting question! Another blog commenter actually pointed out that there are some links between the feet and genitals in the brain, which definitely explains something! I had always wondered why foot fetishism is such a big deal when hand fetishism really isn’t, but the scientific element behind it definitely puts into a much more logical context.
For me, I think it’s sometimes a little hard to point down exactly what it is about foot fetishism it is that people like, but that’s kind of the fun of it. Some people love little feet, some people love big feet. Some people like skinny feet, whereas some like them fat and broad! Some people like short little toes or very long “finger toes” on feet. Some people love soft and perfectly smooth feet, others want to see some wear and tear and rough skin. There are a lot of debates about whether toenails should be long or short, painted or natural. Some people even like to see hairy toes! There is foot porn for pretty much any tastes.
For some people, it comes from a place of worship. We have long associated groveling at feet as a sign of respect, so why can’t extend to worshipping the feet themselves? A lot of people weave this into Goddess or slave play, but for others, it’s just about giving a really great and doting foot massage. For those of us who receive this kind of pampering, I can’t say it’s a bad thing as long as you like the person doing it.
Others are really into the sensual aspect, whether that’s licking, sucking or smelling. As with any aspect of sexuality, some like it clean and some like it dirty. There are definitely a lot of people out there who enjoy a foot after a long, sweaty workout in sneakers, but there are lots more who like only a faintly perfumed and freshly washed foot. Regardless of the smell factor, touching, caressing, kissing, licking, sucking… It’s all very erotic when done right. Even a little tickling can be fun, as long as it’s done with a respect for barriers. It’s all about playing around with the senses and going beyond just using our genitals.
Just as a lot of people love lingerie, a lot of people love shoes and stockings. Some love cotton panties, others love socks and sneakers. Some love a fancy corset, others love silk stockings and high heels. For me, wearing beautiful stockings, cute little socks, sporty sneakers or sophisticated sandals… Well, it just makes me feel like a different person, and it really awakens the part of me that focuses on my feet. Slowly rolling on (or off) nylons can be very sexy in the right context.
Some are into trampling, squishing things between their toes… That’s not as much my thing. I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t do much for me. If I want to get my feet all covered in something, it’ll be lotion. Or cum. I definitely enjoy switching things up and having my feet be the point of the cumshot from time to time. That’s especially easy when I give a footjob. It’s a bit of work, but using an unusual part of your body (especially if you have soft arches) can be a really hot way to make someone feel good. When my feet can get a cumshot, it feels like a job well done, even more than when I use my hands, mouth or breasts. It’s a marathon, but it’s very rewarding!
For porn, part of why it’s interesting and part of why a lot of people do it is because it can be whatever you want it to be. It can be very tame or very explicit. It can be just a tease, or it can be very very sexual. It can be sweet and innocent, or it can be hardcore fetish. There are so many power dynamics to explore, so many different ways to look at it. But, no matter what, there is an audience. Regardless of what it is that turns them on about feet, they are crazy about them, and I am happy to explore that side of myself when the mood strikes on iUseMyFeet.
