What the hell is up with Foot Fetish? I'm looking for understanding on the matter.

I dunno. feet are cute, but not that cute.

They're pretty sensitive. Thats about all I know.

Have you heard about the Chinese practice of foot-binding. Young girls would be deliberately forced to deform their feet so they can get that attractive "lotus step".

Who here doesn't like a good foot rub?

We all like foot rubs and pedicures, it's just the whackaloons who get a boner having feet all over them that weird me.

I'd recommend finding a foot fetishist board and asking them about it.

I find good-looking feet attractive, but there are other places on a woman's body that I'd rather rub, like the back or hands.

I don't get foot fetishes either. It's just that some people are messed up.

A fetish is, by definition, an abnornal attachment of erotic feeling to an object or bodypart.
I would think shoes, rubber, or underwear are less obvious than feet, or breasts for that matter.
You have just asked for a logical reason behind an illogical extreme of TASTE.

Most often fetishes start out as an event or object that the perv assosiates with an early sexual experience, and masterbation reinforces the connection of the object/bodypart and sex.
Pavlov style.
Sometimes it is an outgrowth of being jaded, sexualy, with the same reinforcement/assosiation loop.

*gazes at my fiancee's small, lovely, perfectly shaped feet*

There is much to be said for the shape of a woman's feet. That said, men's feet are just gross.

Why anyone would be excited about feet when you have breasts, long legs, pussy, ass, and her face to look at is simply beyond me.

Sympathetic reactions, Mike. Her feet are quite sensitive, and playing with them is fun for a number of reasons (for both of us, I add).

It's part of foreplay (at least for us it is), not an end in and of itself.

With all the other twisted fetishes out there, having an attraction to one of the most sensitive parts of the body is hardly "out there".

The foot fetish thang is quite prevalent in the gay world. I, however, do not get it, either. Sucking someone's toes just baffles me.
Hell of a world we have here, isn't it.

I do not understand why people say that feet are one of the most sensitive areas of the body. Feet quickly become callused, and have a thick skin covering that makes them relatively insensitive to physical intrusions (which is why it doesn't HURT to walk around on them). I'm sure there are far more sensitive body parts than your feet, and those other parts would have the benefit of not being wrapped in socks and shoes all day, for maximum sweat trapping.

Than you. I could never in a billion years have put it better.

The heel and ball of the foot are fairly insensitive, true, but a woman's arch is exquisitely sensitive - for that matter, a man's, too. If you doubt me, step on a rock - make it a good sharp one, but not sharp enough to break skin with your full weight. First with your heel, then with the ball of your foot, and then square in the middle of the arch. Third one hurts a lot worse than the other two, doesn't it?

If that doesn't convince you, have Rebecca tickle your foot using the same pattern (in fact, you may wish to have her do this instead of using the rock methodology - it's certainly more pleasant in any event). I guarantee the arch is going to tickle more than the other two parts.

The arch of the foot doesn't get touched a lot, so when it does, your brain tends to sit up and take notice.

It's still less sensitive than many other parts of the body. Try doing a palm-stand on a rock and you'll hurt worse than if you did it on the arch of your foot. A light touch on MANY parts of your body will give you the shivers.

I'm barefoot 95% of the time and my feet are only callused in a kidney shaped area on the sole and the under-tips of my toes. The arch and the areas between and at the base of the toes are all quite sensitive despite this. I can't see why my feet would be significantly different from anyone else's.

So wash them. It's not like the other sensitive, non-sock-enwrapped areas don't get nasty, too.

The skin is naturally thicker across the entire sole of your foot than in many other parts of your body.

Yeah, but I don't see a lot of armpit fetishes.

Good shoes with good arch support will put a lot more load on the arches and these will become somewhat callused as well.

some feet are cute, especially in socks, but just feet isnt exactly .. arousing o_O atleast use them to fondle your mate while youre eating dinner and have no free limbs other then feet!

You would be surprised, Lord Wong.

Yeah, I know.

But she likes it and it's fun to watch her reactions, so who am I to argue?

That only makes it sensitive in a different way. I speak from experience here: stimulating my arches in the right way can easily equal stimulation of any other part of my body outside my cock.

Yeah, but I don't see a lot of armpit fetishes.
