Foot eroticism can be experienced in many different ways: Many enjoy a sensual foot massage, a footjob or a harder BDSM approach. If sexuality is particularly or almost exclusively focused on feet, this is also referred to as a foot fetish. Foot fetishists indulge in what is known as podophilia: a sexual preference for feet.
Guest author Sina S. entered the world of foot fetish for us and explains where the fascination for feet comes from and what the various forms of foot eroticism, like footjobs, tickling and dangling are all about. are all about.
What's behind the foot fetish?
Strictly speaking, dreaming of a woman's foot is not a fetish in the narrow sense of the definition, which is that a fetish is an inanimate object, whereby the fixation on that object almost or completely replaces sexuality with a human partner.
A foot is by no means an inanimate object. If it were, it would have lost its fascination for the vast majority of foot fetishists - or more correctly, foot lovers - because foot lovers love the liveliness of the foot. Its shape, the coloring of its skin, its movement, the bold curve of the inside of the foot, the finely shaped and, of course, preferably beautifully manicured toenails.
Many foot lovers also particularly appreciate the smell and taste of the foot and indulge in extensive touching, sniffing and licking of the bare foot.
The expert foot fetishist distinguishes between three different types of feet:
- The Egyptian type: The big toe is the longest and the length of the other toes slopes steeply downwards.
- The Roman type: The second and sometimes the third toe are about as long as the big toe and only the remaining two toes slope downwards in length. Overall, the shape of the foot appears rounder than the Egyptian type.
- The Greek type: The second toe is significantly longer than the big toe, which makes the foot look pointed overall.
The Egyptian type is said to be the most popular among foot lovers, but there are of course also fans of the other two shapes.
The varieties of foot fetish: footjobs, trampling and co.
Although the types can be roughly categorized, there are so many different, individual variations that it is almost impossible to list them all. They sometimes differ so much from one another that the same type of play can be the fulfillment of all sexual dreams for one foot fetishist, but cause incomprehension or even disgust in another.
☆ The enjoyable and playful version of foot love
It is the most widespread type of fetishism or sexual fixation of all. It refers not only to the bare foot, but also a foot in stockings or shoes, whereby the transitions to nylon fetish or shoe/boot fetish are fluid. The soiling of feet, for example by walking barefoot in the mud, also has its fans.
☆ Observe and massage: How sensual feet become an object of desire
Foot eroticism can start with the fact that you like to look at beautiful, well-groomed feet. Women's feet in provocative summer shoes or with eye-catching nail polish in particular attract a lot of attention. For many lovers, they exude sensuality, passion and eroticism.
Some people also like to stroke and massage the feet, whereby the mouth or tongue can also be involved in the foot massage as well as the hands. Apart from the erotic aspect, this is certainly also quite beneficial for the sensitive feet that carry us around day in, day out. Foot massages stimulate blood circulation and have a relaxing and harmonizing effect on the whole body.
☆ Footjob and toejob: When foot eroticism gets really spicy
However, feet don't just like to be spoiled, they also like to spoil from time to time. Many men enjoy it when women caress their bodies with their feet. But why only run your feet along the upper or other parts of the body? Some men love it when a woman treats them to a so-called footjob.
During a footjob, the penis is caressed exclusively with the bare feet. They clasp the penis with the soles of their feet and drive along the shaft, sometimes passionate and gentle, sometimes rough and fast and really bring the man to ecstasy. Many women also develop individual subtleties here. For example, they deliberately only use toes - hence toejob - to stimulate the penis and glans. The world of men can rejoice.
☆ Dangling: a charming foot striptease
Another form of foot play is dangling. For some men, it is great fun to watch a woman play with her shoe and let it dangle from the tip of her foot.
She was wearing seamed stockings and from the way they creased slightly above the knee, I immediately recognized that they were real nylons.
My heart beat faster. And then, oh my god, she did it.
She crossed her legs and began to play with her shoe. She was wearing narrow, black leather pumps. She started drawing little circles with the top of her foot and the hair on my arms stood up. Then she gently bobbed her leg up and down and THEN the shoe slipped off her heel and dangled from the tip of her foot. Wonderful. Just wonderful. This sight simply never ceases to make me horny. I can't even put it more elegantly. Oh no, I don't WANT to put it more elegantly. They make me horny, these dangling shoes.
I think that was also the moment when she discovered that I was staring at her. It didn't seem to make her uncomfortable, on the contrary. She returned my gaze almost shamelessly while her foot continued to wobble. I stirred my espresso cup. Almost all the way through to the table. And she continued to play.
She let the shoe slide off her foot completely and presented it to me in all its seductive nakedness. No, not nakedness, in delicious stockings. Her blood-red painted toenails shimmered through the nylon and she slid her toes up the shin of her other leg. And down again. And up. And down.
The thought of the smell of her feet literally made my mouth water. This mixture of leather shoes, sweet female sweat and a hint of her body lotion is and remains my favorite aphrodisiac.
She smiled, then fished under the chair for her shoe, put it back on and grabbed the newspaper from the empty table next to her. She disappeared behind it and of course she knew that I would go over to her ..."The foot fetish or being a foot lover is not necessarily subject to any further categorization. For example, a foot lover is not necessarily a follower of BDSM practices and is not necessarily submissive just because he likes to kiss or lick feet.
The gesture is submissive, but for a submissive person it would usually be a form of punishment to lick the feet of the dominant partner. A foot lover perceives this as a reward and pleasure, not as punishment or humiliation. Moreover, in this case the submissive gesture only relates to the limited playing field of foot-loving.
Foot eroticism in BDSM: What role feet can play in punishment
However, feet can play an important role in BDSM. For example, it is stimulating for lovers to look at or punish bound feet. The focus of SM games is therefore increasingly on the feet. Conversely, feet can also be used for punishment. For example if a dominatrix likes to wear very high heels and uses the heels to inflict pleasure pain on the sub in the chest area or other parts of the body.
☆ Tickling
Tickling is a type of play that can be interpreted in different ways and in some cases even crosses the line into S&M sex. For some, it is a loving, gentle touch that causes a small tingling sensation, for others it is stimulation taken to excess, almost reminiscent of torture. There is said to have been a Russian noblewoman who kept six of her own foot ticklers, who alternately or simultaneously stimulated her and made her test her own personal limits between pleasure and torture.
☆ Crushing and trampling
Practices such as crushing or trampling are also already part of the SM scene. Crushing is understood to mean crushing objects with the foot. The observer enjoys the power and destructive force emanating from the foot. Trampling involves standing or walking on the bodies of lying people with bare or shod feet or even with heels. Often, poles attached to the right and left of the person being trampled are used as support so that the entire body weight does not rest on the person lying down. Trampling on another person is, of course, the ultimate demonstration of power.
☆ Foot bondage
Another foot practice that is mostly at home in the SM scene is foot bondage, the pleasure at the sight of bound feet (here too exists a power/powerlessness dynamic) and the bastinado, a treatment of the bare foot with cane strokes. Not for the faint-hearted.
☆ Ballbusting
Ballbusting, kicking the man's privates with your feet, is also not for sissies. This type of play is known in Japan as tamakeri. There are now even dedicated tamakeri porn movies.
Is foot fetishism perverted?
Like many people who secretly harbor certain sexual preferences, foot fetishists also consider themselves members of a fringe group. In a world that is increasingly concerned with everything looking perfect (where perfect means as neutral as possible: no hair, no protruding labia, nothing to catch the eye or nose) and nothing standing out either haptically or olfactorily (the latest deodorants promise up to 72 hours of total absence of body odor), a man who loves the smell of sweaty women's feet naturally feels like a pervert.
One member writes in the JOYclub sex forum:
It's amazing how quickly you get the pervert stamp on your forehead in today's seemingly increasingly sexually permissive world. Like, you're a guy and you love guys. Ew! What, you love more than one person? Can't be! What, you love it when your wife walks on your bare chest with her 10cm heels? Are you okay?
Sure. I'm OK. Pretty good actually. And why should I not be?
The only stress a lady with a foot lover as a partner is likely to have is the constant care of her feet. Bathing, scrubbing with pumice stones, creams, pedicures. Because I, at least, have never heard of a proven callus fan. However, the foot lover is certainly happy to help with creaming, massaging and polishing. In this respect, we have a classic win-win situation here and everyone is happy.
