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:
https://www.audacy.com/987thespot/latest/biologist-explains-why-some-people-have-foot-fetishes
Feet are hot cause i can feel a lot of emotion through them
I mean like the emotion of the person the feet are on
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.
Also all the shit the sonic freaks are into.
Surprisingly Sonic isn’t pregnant here.

It’s not a good day to have eyes
Omg, feet.
The duality of man.
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 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.
It’s the simple pleasures.
Ah, a Cleveland Steamer afficionado
honestly I’m just glad I don’t have a shit fetish
So many possibilities just flushed down the toilet…
Oh well. There they go. A shame I guess.
Anyway.
I don’t really get it tbh….
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.
I’m trying real hard to figure what a rusty sheriff badge is an allegory for
… OH
Chocolate starfish, leather cheerio, balloon knot.
I don’t know what a cheerio is but the others I can see. Thanks for clarifying
They’re great for breakfast!
This looks like what I would call a beignet, and indeed I can see the resemblance with the sheriff’s badge
Tongue-punching the fart box
(i am asexual)
It feels like a blessing almost always.
When it doesnt is when someone wants nothing more than to fuck you and you’re like neat. Want to cuddle after I get you off? Because this dick ain’t budging lmfao
I don’t mean to offend you, but do you still feel non-sexual attraction towards a particular or both genders?
There’s a spectrum of Ace. I got one am a heteroromantic ace, and I’m a dude. So I am attracted to women romantically, but don’t want to sleep with them.
It’s a very frustrating combination that makes dating difficult.
So very true. People always think there’s something wrong with you.
If you dont mind me asking, is it all sex or specific kinds?
Ive found this is also me to a degree. Enjoy performing things for the partner, but anything done to me does nothing including PiV.
Difficult to find discourse involving this so Apologies if this is prying lmao
I find the wide variety of ace experiences super interesting. For my part, I’m bi and also demisexual (and I have been working hard at practicing not ace-erasing myself).
An example of the interesting variety I mean is how libido and attraction aren’t necessarily coupled, and also that even besides those factors, there’s a spectrum of ace attitudes towards sex. I had a friend who had a high libido, but was also quite sex-repulsed. That is to say that she masturbated plenty, but had no inclination towards sex. This caused some tension when she entered into a romantic relationship with an allosexual woman who had some difficulty understanding an ace person being both sex repulsed and high libido (though tbf, my friend was learning how to navigate the line between enjoyable cuddles and unpleasantly sexual stuff. She also tried to fit into the model of aceness similar to what you describe, but she found that her discomfort with sex was such that it made her feel less close to her partner (in contrast to how our sex-ambivalent ace friends had described their experiences).
Cuddling and massages are pretty much where it ends with me. I was in a relationship for a while, but it didn’t work out timing-wiss with careers and locations. We still keep in touch and hang out a few times a year though.
Nice thing about an Ace breakup is there’s less sexual baggage attached to becoming friends again.
personally, it’s kinda hard to say? i have felt romantic attraction exactly once in my life, so i know i’m not fully aromantic, but also it’s only happened once so i’m probably on the aro spectrum somewhere
but yes, there are many people who are asexual but who still feel romantic attraction to others
(and of course, not all attraction is sexual or romantic, there is also aesthetic attraction for example (literally just when you find people pretty), which i do feel, my meme was pretty reductive all things considered, but then again it’s just a meme)
So I know with a rather high degree of certainty I’m ace, but I continue to have trouble untangling aromanticism from my aversion to people and mild paranoia.
Not OP, but typically asexual is perceived as not having any sexual attraction/having minimal sexual attraction to anyone, regardless of gender. It’s like the opposite of pansexual (attraction to anyone regardless of gender).
Everything is a spectrum of course, which is why people talk about the graysexual area, where you have some attraction but there’s extra things that make it not the “typical” experience of allosexuals (those who experience sexual attraction). Things like Demisexual (attraction only after having a close bond), Aegosexual (having sexual arousal and fantasies, but you don’t think of yourself in those fantasies), etc. These are all microlables to help people narrow down how they feel.
So if you have a distinct and noticeable sexual attraction to one gender, you probably are allosexual (straight, lesbian, gay, etc.). Note, however, that romantic ≠ sexual, and you can be asexual but only date men, or be asexual and date both men and women.
Not a foot fetishist, eh?
But you did post a Sonic meme… sideyes
When I think fetishistic Sonic content, I think inflation and not feet.
Deer god, why the fuck did you make foot people so vocal?
deer god
Did you just have this on hand, waiting for the perfect moment to deploy it?
I typed “deer god” into google
Well I just saved it to deploy anytime I see “deer god” from now on.
And when he came by, just snapped a photo?
What eldritch horror have u shown me
deer god.
I suppose that’s what I get for commenting first thing in the morning! No point fixing it now, it’s too funny.
I may just start writing “Deer god” anyways because that is so majestic.
Deer God: what
Masterpiece
aww this looked so much funnier when I thought the flap over the face was a beak, the face was a malformed turkey wattle, and the ear a mostly lidded eye. Looks like such a derpy bird that way, but nooo it has to be a human face!
That is the Forest Spirit from the movie Princess Mononoke. Wonderful movie if you haven’t seen it! Watches more like a Disney movie than an anime.
Imo comparing it to a Disney movie is even a bit disrespectful to that masterpiece of animated cinema. I do get what you mean. But it just has so much more heart.
Tangent: Who is the protagonist in that film?
Nobody. The film is about balance. Ashitaka spends the entire time trying to get better perspective and ask everyone to calm down.
Sen is stuck between worlds. Ashitaka is dragged into conflict.
Even Lady Eboshi is highly nuanced, caring for people and defending her clan, but she comes to a different belief about nature in the end.
The only baddie in my eyes was the emissary to the daimyo (or Lord, can’t recall), and he was just serving his master.
I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she’s charismatically evil so it comes off different.
She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she’s effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.
She only cares about her people so long as they’re empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.
Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn’t actually change her ways.
I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don’t recall if he literally says that)
Well done!
Yeah, being into feet isn’t inherently bad. But foot fetishists are always so damn creepy about it.
Toupee fallacy
Sure, but you won’t get guys at a bar trying to lure you onto pissing in their mouth or exchange Cleveland steamers. But most women have had a guy go straight to “nice toes”
metric superiority
People so ready to kink shame feet. Just wait some shawty gonna open your mind one day
See, guys who find it weird only do cuz their own feet are nasty, n let’s be real men’s feet are pretty nasty. You ain’t trynna look at no man’s asscheeks, but I don’t hear no1 saying liking women with a fat arse is weird.
let’s be real men’s feet are pretty nasty
Yo, check out ballerina feet.
Nice try. We’re not checking anyone’s feet out bro
It’s jealousy dog. Attractive women don’t go letting everybody see their boobs and butt for no reason. Is a trip to a public pool just like an unyielding, diamond hard erection for you people?
A foot fetish sort of works its way into your brain over time. The synapses for feet and sexual attraction are extremely close to each other, so when you do things like, hold someone’s feet during sex, or give them a foot rub during foreplay, there’s a chance your brain may start making that connection that feet are an erotic thing. For me, it started after being married for a few years, and she just sort of flexed her toes during sex in such a way that it gave me goosebumps, in a good way. Granted I’d been giving her foot rubs for a few years by that point…but oh…my god. When it clicked that it was a turn on for me, it was a game changer.
I can understand that. You might want to look up what the definition of a synapse is, but honest questioner seeking real answers in your area: your crush, presuming no ethical, or moral complications, would you rather she A: let you give her a 5-minute foot massage with oil, or B: show you her bare breasts from six feet away. Defend your answer with citations as necessary. I understand what a kink is, but being a boring vanilla, if choosing one precluded the possibility of the other possibility forever, the choice is obvious for me.
Had a friend who was a freak ass like that actually
People’s dicks really are putting in overtime
When I was born, god gave me a choice.
I said, “I’ll take the Autism, please.”
I couldn’t decide between 'tism and ADHD, god got frustrated of me and gave a bit of both. I wish I had known foot fetish was a choice (didn’t read through the list, obviously).
was too ADHD to read the list 😔
