All you need to know about foot fetish
What is a foot fetish?
A foot fetish is a sexual interest in feet. In other words, feet, toes, and ankles turn you on.
This particular preference for feet can vary from person to person.
Some people are turned on just by looking at feet. Others may find painted nails, jewelry, or other adornments appealing.
Still others get sexual satisfaction in foot treatments, such as massaging or worshiping feet.
Is it common?
A foot fetish is considered a mainstream sexual kink. That is, it’s more commonly talked about and understood than some other types of fetishes.
Study shows that almost half of people surveyed said they had a foot fetish or chastity fetish.
Why do people like feet?
Just like with clothing preferences or music styles, sexual kinks vary.
Every person is attracted to — or even repelled by — things others may consider mundane.
So, it’s not clear what it is about feet that’s appealing, but a few theories have been offered to explain why some people are just drawn to feet and foot play.
Biology
Your feet are covered with nerve endings, and nerve endings equal greater, often more intense, sensations.
Tickling, rubbing, and massaging may all feel immensely better on feet.
Humiliation aspect
One psychological element of a foot fetish is humiliation. Feet are often considered “below” people. That is, some people think of feet as a lowly body part.
That sets up a dynamic some people find appealing: They like to feel “lower” than their partner. They enjoy having your feet on their body as a form of power play, or being put in their place.
Domination aspect
Submission and domination is a power play for some couples. Feet are just one part of that structure.
If you have foot fetish, you may want your mistress to treat you like a human footrest. You find satisfaction in letting your mistress/owner have domination over you so you can worship at her feet.
If you have foot fetish, you may also find it thrilling to kneel at your dominatrix/goddess' feet, adore them, and diminish yourself for them. You may encourage them to put their feet all over your body, forcing you into a position of submission.
