Guys who like feet are more common than many people might think. Feet are
curvy, sensitive, and oh so responsive to touch. What guy wouldn't like them?
But deep down women probably already know this. Why else would we totter around
on ridiculously high heels or wear strappy sandals that show off our latest
mango-hued pedicure? And besides, all that prancing about requires a nice foot
rub at the end of the day.
Intimacy
Men who like feet want to do more than look at them. To a guy who adores
tootsies, sucking toes and licking insoles are as intimate an act as
intercourse, according to self-proclaimed foot fetishist Izzy Cihak. Dr. Reef Karim, psychiatrist and relationship
expert, said the fetish "could get a little more freaky like needing to be
walked on by smelly, dirty feet." He told me that he has heard the "dirty feet
thing" from a few people. But gals who are just looking for a soothing foot
massage will be disappointed. A massage is too functional and removes all the
sexiness involved.
Cinderella
Any girl who watched Cinderella as a child drew a connection between men and
feet, but not just any feet -- small delicate ones. The prince immediately
rejected the big-footed stepsisters for Cinderella, who possessed a perfectly
sized foot. Men, like Prince Charming, are visual
creatures who are apt to focus on a particular body part.
Theories
Although there is really no telling why some men are focused on feet,
theories abound. One Freudian belief suggests it stems from shame. Maybe a little
boy sees a sex organ and quickly looks away out of embarrassment, focusing his
eyes on the feet instead. Voila. Feet and sex become intertwined.
April Masini, relationship advice expert and author of "Date
Out Of Your League," voiced a similar theory. She told me, "Men who are coming
of age and discovering sexual feelings as they relate to women's bodies may have
had an initial sexual urge at the sight of a woman's usually covered up feet.
That memory stays long after the young man is a fully mature man."
Karim pointed out that women's feet can "serve a submissive purpose. Submissive men worship women's feet,
like to be walked on by those feet, and the feet show sexy dominance."
Dr. Ava
Cadell, who
founded the Loveology University, explained to me, "Some foot worshippers can
only experience orgasms while making out with a woman's foot because it is the
most erogenous of all the sexual zones for them. They often long to be a foot
slave to a woman and will suck toes (also known as shrimping) until the point of
no return."
Compatibility
Regardless of the reason, if your honey likes feet and you abhor being
touched there, well, the relationship will have a difficult time succeeding. On
the other hand (or foot), if you like all the foot attention, this just might be
a good fit.
