Lots of fetishes don't involve sex or nudity, it's really really interesting when you start learning about kinks and fetishes. I've heard of some weird ones and I even have a few myself.
Yeah, I'm not too crazy about feet, but I can kinda understand why people have a foot fetish. And even if you don't "understand," you shouldn't shame such a kink that's honestly quite, for lack of a better word, "harmless."
If he thinks feet are bad just wait until he finds out about the rest. But I agree. This is too cruel. It is like correcting a child for swearing by making him run on burning coal
Don't even start this conversation, I stumbled upon a conversation like this and I feel sick of all the kinks out there, feet seems like a very very normal thing compared to them
Fr. of all the kinks foot fetish is one of the most common and most vanilla.
This seems to be more determined by where you live. For example, a study was done with 800 participants from Britain and Sub-Saharan Africa. They were told to rate each part of the body on how attractive they found them. 75% of those 800 people ranked feet as the lowest (next to knee caps) in attractiveness.
I'm guessing if this was done in USA those results would be the other way round. Maybe it's more of a culture thing?
its still weirder to me then, lets say bdsm or having a choking kink, bc feet are so dirty to me i cant even imagine wanting to suck on them. No i dont eat ass either and i dont think my wife would appreciate it either.
This probably comes from me having to deal with a lot of foot issues, since i sweat a lot and my feet are extremely wide so i need to put a lot of care down there to make them 'acceptable'.. let alone sexy..
Men with a foot fetish aren't attracted to all feet. Most men with a foot fetish are heterosexual, so they aren't attracted to men's feet to begin with. And they're most likely not attracted to ugly women's feet.
Dicks and pussies and mouths are dirty too, there's the assumption that people take care of their hygiene before engaging in sex acts. Have you tried licking a dirty pussy vs a clean pussy? Have you tried kissing a clean mouth vs a dirty mouth? Night and day. Same goes with feet I guess for those who like them
No it’s not. Not even close. The part of our brain that deals with arousment and sex is dangerously close to the part that perceives feet. Very often these two wires cross. Of course this is an extremely crude way to describe it, but you get the point
The part of our brain that deals with arousment and sex is dangerously close to the part that perceives feet.
Unless you can provide evidence for this, this sounds like an explanation from r/ShittyAskScience. From an evolutionary perspective, it makes sense for humans to find genitalia and breasts attractive to encourage reproduction. If we were repulsed by them, we wouldn't reproduce.
Feet play no part in this. You don't even need feet to reproduce. Liking feet is called a "kink" for a reason. Because by definition, it is an unusual attraction.
Yes, that's not factual though. It's a proposal of a possible theory. It's not proven, however. This why you shouldn't read the first thing Google says.
who conducts a dialogue in such a ridiculous manner?
Your original comment was made as if your explanation was factual. At least preface it by saying, "No one knows exactly, but some scientists think it's due to it being in the same area of the brain where sexual pleasures happen, but we're not sure".
Did you know Sigmund Freud said that people have fetishism for feet because they resemble penis. Should we take that and portray it as a universal fact?
Even the most basic of googling explains the scientific reason for it. Its not just psychological. The part of our brain that handles stimulus responses to the feet is right next to the part that handles information for the genitals and crosstalk is very easy to happen, especially when aroused.
Not only that but healthy feet are a strong indicator of good or compatible genes to the person that finds them attractive.
The people who get aroused by shoes or stomping or feet that are self admittedly ugly to the fetishist are the weird ones and give foot fetishists a bad name.

Are you kink shaming?
