Ok yall I was reading a thred on here about a wanting to get rid of your fetish and it made me think. What age where you and how did you come to accept you foot fetish. For me I was 17 at a friends house and everyone was asleep including his older sis and I decide to suck and smell her feet that was when i realized my fetish was not going away.

I think I was around 11 when I discovered I liked female feet. I don't know how I accepted it, I just remember I liked it.

I wish I could say that it was an early age for myself, but I think it was sometime in my early 20's when I finally just kinda' said "fuck it, that's how I am" and haven't looked back since.

To think of all those years when I felt like there was something inherently wrong with me because I like feet...jeez! Oh well, live and learn.

i'm like Lou.. in my twenties.. i got tired of the guilt.. stepped out to learn as much as I can without fear. the turning point was my late teens. i was too afraid of getting a public hard on over feet.. so.. i dove into all the books I could at the library (as stealthy as I could... never checked a book out). my cover story was photography of shoes.. so i was learning the subject from all angles (never had to use it)

in my 20's ran into the internet.. that greatly helped me realize i wasn't alone. then a gal told me it was cool and i wasn't alone and she wouldn't let that stop her from dating me if i asked. that put the issue in the back seat and i've been pretty cool ever since.

sure.. at times a little guilt may arise.. but for the most part.. i'm cool. and the best part.. now that i'm cool.. it doesn't consume me as much (no.. it hasn't lessened.. i don't look for it as hard.. but just as actively)

Intersting point: I consider the "evolution" of my foot fetish experience to encompass several stages:

1) The age that you realize that you really love and are attracted to feet

2) Many of us experience the stage where you feel different, abnormal about yourself because of this love and attraction.

3) Some obviously go through another stage when you hate your fetish because of the control it has over you- sometimes wishing you could rid yourself of it.

4) The time where you realize that there are many others like you and go through the stage of accepting and validating yourself. You become comfortable with loving feet.

5) I'd say that there's even another final stage of growing self-acceptance, realizing that the fetish is a part of us and further growing in our love, appreciation, and hopefully participation in the fetish.

I was stage 1 in my early teens. From my teens to early 40s was in the 2nd stage (30 years), occassionally going in and out of stage 3. After finding Wu's entered stage 4 and stayed there for a year or so until being convinced by fellow foot brothers to tell my wife, at which time I enetered the fifth stage.

My realisation was really during secondary school I was about 12 and I would just stare at girls dangling there shoes and slipping them off, I never realised how many girls would do this but in the year there was about 100-150 girls about 50-60 of those I believed I had seen there feet. Anyway back to the topic, looking back I remembered a moment at playschool beleive it or not. I had a fascination at watching the girls painting with thier feet, dipping them into paint and making sole prints. I must have been about 3 or 4 which makes me believe for sure that a foot fetish or admiration towards feet is something that we are born with or we cannot decide. Also I remeber looking at a girls feet at first school that were dirty from a gym type class, I would have been 6 or 7. At the time though I wouldn't have known what these feeling were, and they obviously wouldn't have been sexual but just a fascination and 'liking what I saw'. I suppose it wasn't until once I hit puberty and the whole sexual maturity thing that my fetish came to fruition. Regarding acceptance, I have always liked it, most of you guys probably feel it to, a sense of individuality, it's kinda of special to be different, and hey its a hell of a lot easier to see bare feet than it is bare breasts!!

I guess I've always accepted it and in my youngers I thought everyone liked feet and that they just didn't talk about it lol!

Also my best mate all through first and middle school had a foot fetish too, I've never wished I didn't have it - infact I love having a foot fetish

I think feetluvr summed it up best with the evolutionary stages regarding the recognition, the denail/rejection of oneself and/or fetish and dealing with it, and then the eventual validation and acceptance of oneself and who they are.

Following his steps, Stage 1 happened early on for me when I realized I was attracted to women's feet. There was something very early on and I have memories of being attracted to the feet of a woman who used to babysit me. I realized pretty early on that although the attraction gave me intense feelings, I knew they were "different" somehow, so Stage 2 was closely followed by Stage 1. I wouldn't say I felt abnormal about it at Stage 2, since I was pretty young. A part of me knew I liked women's feet but another part of me, to some degree, tried to act like I didn't have an attraction for them. Stage 3 hit right at puberty. The hormones began and I had quite a hell of a time keeping my feelings in check. Part of me loved the overwhelming feelings I got massaging, tickling, fondling the feet of females while another part of me loathed it because of how it made me act in the presence of female feet. There was no way I could deny it, yet I felt frustrated about not being able to express it because I knew it wasn't accepted by "normal society". Stage 4 didn't really start in full force until I was in my 20s and began seeing copies of magazines like Leg Show, Leg Action, etc.. Before that, I knew that there were others who had a foot fetish. However, I didn't know just how many and looked at myself as sort of a freak of nature to some degree. Upon seeing those magazines, I began to realize that there must be something more to this whole foot feitsh thing if monthly publications were out there that catered to this and were selling enough of them to keep them in business. It still took me a few more years to begin Stage 4, which began happening in my late 20s/early 30s when I got online and saw all of the foot fetish websites. It was then that it really hit me how many people out there liked women's feet, not to mention finding forums like Wu's. Once I got into my early 30s, I finally began Stage 5 and realized that this fetish is a part of me and decided to just accept it and not really fret over it. I don't come out and flaunt my love for women's feet. However, if there's an opportunity that presents itself that I can share it with someone I know, one on one, whom I'm comfortable with and who's comfortable with me, then I always go for it. I have to say the results of just acting on it and being confident about it have been quite positive since I've reached that point in my life.

I don't remember a time when I wasn't fascinated by womens' feet. As bar back as my memory can see, I have always enjoyed the sight of a woman's feet. I'm not sure how it started, but there are some pictures of me when I was a several months old chewing on a rubber baby chew toy shaped like a foot. Who knew a toy meant for teething might possibly start a foot fetish.

As I grew and became sentient I thought for the longest time that I was the only person in the world who liked looking at womens' feet. All through elementary school. But I never felt ashamed about it for some reason. I guess I started seeing feet as sexual once puberty, and all its glorious effects started.

Then one day when I was about 12 I noticed one of those dating shows on TV with a guy who had a foot fetish -- I never heard of the word or imagined somebody else besides me liked feet. So one day when I was by myself, I went online and searched the new word (foot fetish) on Google, discovered all the sites, including this one. The rest is history.

Point being, I always accepted it.

I noticed feet when I was about 10. My mom's friends 3 daughters had soft feet. they were ages 7, 19, and 13 at the time. I would always rub their feet on my face, and play with their soles. At 16 I started to feet pics. I found websites, magazine pictures. I didn't suck on toes unitl I was 17 or 18, first footjob at 18. Now, at 22. i'm married and my wife and I engage in footplay almost everynight.

i descovered it at 3 and i accepted it at 3, i dont think there is point in history of my life where i questioned, was ashamed of or wanted to deny or get rid of it.

I've had it as long as I can consciously remember, and am still in stages 2 and 3 at 18 years old...
I'm sure I'll get around to accepting it or being rid of it, whichever happens first, I guess, but its no fun until then

Ive always been pretty open about mine i dont hide it.Every girl I have ever dated has known about it and all have accepted it. It has never really been an issue for me. Everybody likes something,be it boobs,ass,legs or feet. Theres nothing abnormal about it. Its just what tickles your pickle. Theres people out there that are into WAY more fucked up weird shit than feet. Atleast were not like "Hey,I wanna fuck a nun in the ass while Im dressed like Hitler slicing her back up with a razor blade!" that would be weird.

i've always known i like womens feet from a very early age, started masturbating about the idea at about 11 or 12. thought i was alone. then only really accepted it in myself about a few years ago discovering foot fetish stuff on the internet

Posted by climax (Member # 6641) on :
 
I never had to accept it, because i never denied it to begin with, i never questioned what i liked nor did i wished for it to go away, ive always loved this desire of mine and have never ever thought otherwise.

i think you may have accepted it. we all accept it, its just in times of frustration and facing the challenges of foot fetishm (such as embarresment and difficulty making it happen) is when we will deny it. thats something i've learned recently but you cant hate yourself for having a foot fetish, i've been down that road and its horrible. its best to embrace it

If my fetishism is a part of me, then I must accept it as I love ALL of me.

Acceptance, huh? Funny, I suppose my story kind of unfolds in two parts. I've known I liked feet for some reason or another ever since I was 4 or 5. I never knew why, I just knew I liked feet. When I got older, about 12 years old, that's when I started realizing that feet were very sexual for me, because anytime I'd think about feet in bed at night, I'd become quite aroused and I'd begin masturbating. Being in the middle of taking sex ed classes at school, I knew exactly what it all meant, and I accepted it as being myself. Matter of fact, it took me longer to accept the fact that I'm a nerd (and proud of it) than it did to accept my foot fetish. Ironically, once I embraced my nerdhood, it became a lot easier for me to talk to people and make friends. Even in high school, when being a nerd is social suicide (then again, at my school, all the popular kids were all the AP students who were taking at least 3 AP classes per semester.)

it's hard to say when I knew it wasn't going away, but i guess it might've been in my teens when i realized it was futile to try to change myself.

besides it can be a good thing at times when i use the kinky factor to my advantage. a woman can view this as exploratory and also view you as a real man if you are able to convey this to her properly with no regrets as if you are not at all ashamed. some women will highly respect you for that shamelessness admidst such adversity.

i discovered mine when i was 14 (freshman year, those magical times, lol). i was pretty much in denial about it until i was about 17, and never really got any action until i told my girlfriend (19). her reaction was priceless.

and as for the steps, mine were sort of different. it went like this:

1.found out
2.thought it was wierd
3.denial
4.acceptance
5.enjoyed!

I've known I had a foot fetish since I was about five, when I started asking babysitters to smell their feet. Actually, I used to get a lot of foot smelling action when I was a kid, because, most of the sitters whom I asked to smell their feet, just let me do so, due to the fact that they thought I was a silly kid. From age five on, I was just like: "I like feet, I accept it, and I dont deny it" A second stage, came when I hit puberty, around 12 or 13, which was when I realized that feet were a very sexual thing for me.

I noticed mine when i was just a weee little kid sittin in my bed watchin tv. Any woman with bare feet at the time ( i was probably 4 to 6ish) caused me to catch a wee bitty boner. Then as my cousins and i got older we used to chase eachother around and tickle eachother, sometimes tying eachother up makeshift like. I used to wander why the girls feet tied together got me goin so bad... Then i kept noticing girls feet in elementary school, through middleschool when my parents divorced, my mom met a new man and he and his kids moved in, he had a daughter who was a little less than a year older than me, around 12 or 13 at the time and since there was no blood relation when she and i talked and she found i had a foot fetish and began askin for foot massages. I did almost every nite we didnt have school in the morning, then i moved in to my dad's house and when i would return every other weekend or so, she'd still ask me to do it, sometimes beg, or tell me to. She'd usually fall asleep. By the time i was done, we'd watch movies or what not together and she'd end up sleepin.

And then i found wu's and the internet!
Of course in reverse order. And i've never held back either way.

I didnt really notice it until about 12-13 years old. Some neighbors had a trampoline and everybody would be hanging out there all summer long. I loved watching this one girl in particular. She always had a dark tan and I was mesmerized by her feet and legs. I dont know if that started it, but that is about my first memory of finding feet attractive.
As far as accepting it, in my early years, I always tried to hide it. I, like many of you, thought that I was the only one. Guys at school would go on and on about the sexy cheerleader with the tight sweater on. It didnt really do anything for me. From the skirt down is what I was all giddy about! I really opened up with my second girlfriend. She was very understanding about my love of feet.
Nowadays, I am pretty open about it, Usually by the second date, the girl knows what turns me on. Most women have been facinated by it. It doesnt bother me at all to be so attracted to womens feet. Its better, to me anyways, than to go drooling all over a girls $5,000.00 boob job; That to me is strange!

I love female feet since I can remember being aware.
Yeah, when I was a teen I was ashamed of it and fearing anyone would notice it or discover the "dirty" drawings and tales I'd produce for masturbation. But then I started reading psychology books and came across the term "foot fetishism" and knew I wasn't alone. Better yet was when I got internet in my early 20's... I guess all of you can imagine what was my first query on a search engine
well, I started exploring the net in any ways related with my podal interests as I could... web, irc channels, newsgroups etc.
I started saying to everyone on vanilla virtual environments I liked feet and then, when meeting them on RL I started telling my older friends also about it. So I started also enjoying my FF in the most physical way of all

I really love feet and wouldn't trade my fetish for a million dollars

The earliest recollection of my fetish was around the age of 3 or 4 when I was goofing around with my barefoot sister (who is nearly 11 years older than me) and I liked the way her feet looked and smelled. I would say I jerked off to images of women's feet (wherever I could find them -- newspapers, catalogs) as soon as I was able to, and though I never felt guilty about it, it was something (as with certain other, non-sexual, interests) I kept private for reasons too complex to detail here.

Sometime around 1969, when Dr. David Reuben's bestselling book Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) was first published, someone in my family bought a copy, and in surreptiously looking through it, I recall reading a mention of foot fetish -- which may have been my first realization as to how it was described (at least by this author) and that there were other males with a similar interest. But I never anguished over it.

Indeed, Jane Vargas, Ph.D., in her "Dear Jane" column in the Oct. 2004 Leg Show, replied (in small part) this way to a self-styled "Christian" reader who felt guilty about his foot fetish -- while then asking Jane about her shoe size: "The lesson here, my sweet Good Boy, is we don't choose our turn-ons; they choose us; we may as well enjoy them. You were given a gift of adoring women's pretty feet."

With this as with other normal desires, either don't do it, or don't feel guilty about it. But with the Roman Catholic Church having tried (and ultimately failed) to indoctrinate me from a very young age, I understand how organized religion can mess with one's head, which is why I lapsed into atheism by the time I was 14. However, that is a whole other topic: religion as one of society's great evils and antithetical to the development of a rational person's moral judgment.

I've always had it as far as I can remember.. I had alotta attention towards womens feet since I would say about 3 or 4 yrs old but didn't realize I was attracted to them until about 6 or 7.... When I hit puberty it was like KABOOM!!!

I've had a foot fetish as long as I can remember.

I can remember when I was in school, watching girls play with their flip flops under thier desks and curling their toes on the ground and not being able to take my eyes off them!

It wasn't until about when I was 19/20 that I first started to find out about foot fetishism and, that there where other people out there that felt the same way (up until then I thought I was just a freak!)

Of course when I got a computer and got online that the whole world of foot fetishism just exploded! (in more ways than one! ) Since then I've never looked back!

Its funny hearing how a lot of you guys say you didn't think anyone but you liked feet for a long time. When I was about 6 or 7 (and I was already conscious of the fact that I liked female feet for some reason of another), I remember my parents and I would watch Love Connection. I remember one of the guests (the person who would actually come into the studio and sit on the couch and chat with Chuck Ellery) came on the show and one of the first things I remember him saying after Chuck asked him "So, what do you like", this guy said "I like feet. Not big feet, but small, petite feet..." I don't remember the rest, but at that moment, I knew I wasn't alone, especially if some guy practically came out about it on Prime Time national television!

I actually remember being a freshman or sophomore in high school and confiding to a friend or two in sex-related conversation that I liked feet, and I never got any weird looks or anything about it. In fact, 2 of my buddies said they liked feet too (not as much as me, I figured, they were primarily leg guys). When I was about 17 or 18, I remember being at my older cousin's house for the weekend and looking at feet sites on his computer (since he had high speed and a chill mom....I didn't.) He walked in on me, and I was trying to hide what I was looking at, but he told that me it was all good, because he had a hardcore foot fetish also. He then proceeded to show me his modest little video library of foot clips that he found on the internet.

So in short, I've always known I've never been the only one that liked feet, so perhaps that made me embrace it an earlier age, as opposed to a lot of you.

I only ever knew of one other of my real close friends admitting to being a leg/footman, and i was still a lot more hardcore about feet than he was. Though he still enjoyed nice pedicured toes and a little toe sucking/kissing of feet, he didn't really dig it AS much as i do, or most of us here.

I've never really worried about being the only one, it was always accepted by my friends and most of my family that's found out about it...I tell my friends my family kind of found out and i can't remember how. I've kind of enjoyed bein almost on my own in that i liked feet, it's something extra in my opinion that keeps things interesting.

You know, I don't believe in evolution. In fact, I don't believe in the evolution of anything. Many of you may be able to express some sort of similarity to feetluvr, but the truth of the matter is that foot fetishism has been around since before any of us were born, and it stems from our own lust.

For me, I was always the picked on guy at school, probably more so than the fat kid. It got around before I got into high school that I masturbate, which actually started because of a friend of mine. I got really shy, and hated most people. After I started masturbating, found that I couldn't get into most of the sites I wanted, my lust grew for something that I could see just about all the time. I started looking around on the Internet for this thing, found feet, realized that all people have feet and I could get into it, and I did. Then, I started looking everywhere for it, while still being the fly on the wall; I'm there but nobody notices.

I have never been embarrassed about it. In fact, as much trouble as I had asking girls out in HS, I was never ashamed to tell girls I was friends with who wore opened toed shoes or sandals 'You have beautiful toes.'
