I like the theory that the reason people like feet is because the area of the brain that controls your feet is close to the area that makes you feel things and in some people the "wires" can cross:

I feel like this is absurd with even a little bit of thought. Why does this sort of explanation apparently only work for feet and not other fetishes? Why does it matter if wires can get crossed for nerves in the feet if most people with foot fetishes are into other people's feet and not having things done to their own feet? This gets mentioned a lot online but it makes no sense.

Feet are hot cause i can feel a lot of emotion through them

[-] shadow_figurine@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I mean like the emotion of the person the feet are on

I always feel silly to be such a vanilla romantic. I don't need much more than a snuggle and a little poop on my chest.

Sure, sure. Catch it, if that's what you're in to.

Did you just have this on hand, waiting for the perfect moment to deploy it?

[-] lena@gregtech.eu 36 points 1 week ago

I typed "deer god" into google

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Well I just saved it to deploy anytime I see "deer god" from now on.

I think I just have a woman fetish. I've had "oh damn" moments with various body parts on different women over the years. Feet, hands, decolletage, ears, eyebrows... all sorts.

I became interested in why foot fetishes occur recently.

Basically, it's the same reason why breasts are considered sexual (they aren't); it's all about novelty. If we lived in a nudist colony, neither feet, nor breasts would be considered sexy.

Feet get covered by shoes, making them more novel.

Tribal cultures dont regarded breasts, or feet, as sexy.

Though it begs the question: if nudity became normalized, then what would be novel?

People would find personalities, voices, power dynamics, and fantasies more or less erotic than they are now (for most people).

why breasts are considered sexual (they aren’t)

Breasts and feet are both sensitive and responsive to touch. If you've ever Netflix-and-Chilled, a foot rub is a classic opening move. Meanwhile, teasing someone's nipple is very normal foreplay.

Kids. Thank god I'm not attracted to kids. Or animals. Anything else is fair game. Feet attached to a consenting adult are fine. Don't see the big deal. I like to spit-shine the rusty sheriff's badge, so why the fuck would I care if someone likes a boring regular appendage like a foot? 🤷‍

Unless there's some angle to this non-foot people don't understand? Like, maybe being turned on by feet is comorbid with an uncontrollable need to blast rope over any uncovered foot you see? Now that would suck.
