Foot fetish (Podophilia)-What is 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. Feet are considered the most fetishized body part, besides genital body parts.
Toe kissing and sucking, watching videos of feet, taking photos of a partner’s feet, rubbing someone’s sweaty feet after a workout, genital stimulation with feet, or describing foot odor to one’s partner are some ways a foot fetish can play out
There are subtypes of foot fetish, some people love to worship adorned feet, whether with jewels, tattoos, nail polish, feet in heels, socks, stockings, or bare feet.
How common is foot fetish?
More common than you'd think. One study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine arrived at one. In the study, researchers asked the roughly one thousand participants to rate their fetish interests from a score of 1 to 5 (5 being the highest). About 10% said they had a foot fetish, and the same percentage admitted to having a shoe fetish. Overall, more men than women said they sexualized feet or shoes.
Is foot fetish normal?
YES, it is totally normal. A foot fetish another variation of healthy human sexuality.
Why do people like it?
Sexual kinkys vary jus tlike hairstyle and music styles. There are some theories that try to explain why do people like it.
Biologically speaking
Feet are covered with nerve endings, and nerve endings equal greater, often more intense, sensations. Tickling, rubbing, massaging, licking, touching may all feel immensely better on feet. Toes and feet are particularly sensitive, thanks to a ton of nerve endings down there (think: ticklish feet). That makes it an epic addition to foreplay. And let's not forget about the brain, which can connect feelings of sexuality to any body part if it's been tied to a sexual memory, So if your first sexual encounter involved feet or toe sucking during foreplay or sex, then you very well might be turned on by this little deed going forward.
Submission and 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 your partner has a foot fetish, they may want you to treat them like a human footrest. They find satisfaction in letting you have domination over them so they can worship at your feet. If you have a foot fetish, you may find it thrilling to kneel at your partners 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.
How to talk about foot fetish with your partner?
If your partner recently brought up their interest in feet, you may have questions about what’s involved and how you should respond.
- If you want to bring it up to them: They may not share the same interest in feet as you do, but they may have other curiosities they’d like to explore. Being honest about your fetish can put into motion a virtuous cycle that lets you both find fun new activities you enjoy
- Listen and ask questions: If your partner was honest with you, this is a positive sign.

They may ask to kiss your feet during sex. - Decide how you feel: Ask them to give you time to think about what they’ve said. If feet are just a no-go zone for you, that’s important to know, for both you and your partner

Foot fetish and risks to consider?
People who have foot fetish don't have to worry about getting pregnant but those who like this form of erotic play should consider;
1. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Some STIs are passed through genital contact, but others can be shared by rubbing skin on skin. Genital and oral herpes, syphilis and the human papillomavirus (HPV) can be spread through contact with skin. Make sure you and your partner get tested!
2. Skin infections.
Molluscum contagiosum is a skin infection that causes lesions or raised bumps. It can be shared through skin-to-skin contact. Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection. Fungal infections like athlete’s foot can also be shared through contact with infected skin or even shoes a person with the infection wore.
3. Cuts
Sharp toe nails can cut delicate skin around the penis, vagina, or anus. Keep toe nails trimmed and clean — and ask your partner to do the same — if you anticipate getting your feet involved in the action..
