I was wondering if any of us ever discovered that our father or other male relative liked feet as well and may have passed it down to us? I've had my suspicions about my dad but I've never had real proof.

My older cousin and I both have foot fetishes, and I'm pretty sure our uncle has one too, so I think there's some plausibility in a foot fetish being genetic. Where ours come from, I'm not sure. Our grandfather passed away before my cousin and I were born, so we can't ask him, though he'd probably a likely candidate as the fetish hasn't seemed to skip a generation. The funny thing too is that my uncle with the suspected fetish has no children.

How do you know your older cousin has one? did you ask him, he revealed it to you? or you caught him red handed? lol
? ?

No.
I think in life we are exposed to things early on that may or may not shape us to think certain ways as we grow up.
People want a "genetic" reason for everything these days. We are a society that wants an answer for everything, but we want answers that do not require us or people from our past to be the reason or infuence.
Just like bad ass kids. Many (not all) are not ADHD... just crappy parenting, influence and guidance.
Just like my daughter and son being smart asses. Not genetic, its their parental influence! lol I saw it in them by 18 months...
So, foot loving may not be something that is as open etc... as other things, but some way, some how- it was introduced in some fashion, good or bad... as a child, teen or adult. It doesnt kill anyone so I say- embrace it.
My opinion ... I am sure it wont be too popular!

Back when I was a kid pred-- it was called hyperactive- and they told me to sit my ass down! lol I am still very "hyperactive" and all that means is PRODUCTIVE! lol
Labels labels... I say - its just me...

You bring up some good points, Footgirl. I don't think there is a certain GENE, but definitely there has to be something from the past that triggers the attraction.
Posted by DownUnderFeet (Member # 31117) on :
At most I think genes might make a person more susceptible to developing the fetish. I don't mean to be insulting but foot fetish seems to me very counter-productive to the human species. Think of all the people too embarrassed to be intimate with their partners because of it, or those who aren't the slightest bit interested in anything but feet. Natural selection would weed these sort of things out, yet foot fetish is so incredibly common.
Anyway I am certain my father doesn't have a foot fetish because I have stumbled upon his porn collection and it is pretty standard stuff.

Not only does no member of my family care 1 bit about feet, but neither do any of my friends. They think i am nuts.
But their wives/girlfriends think it's cute.

ive caught my dad checking out toes on multiple occasions could be true. but...my theory is that all guys love a hot girl with nice toes.

at 18 months wouldn't it be genetic? awfully young to just learn how to be a smart ass
personalities are molded through genetics, environment, and life experiences
i think our genetics made us somehow prone to developing the fetish and then we had a very early experience involving feet
babies touch themselves a lot, maybe we were touching ourselves and then we spotted mom's feet causing a permanent attraction to feet or maybe some female gently rubbed her feet on our chest
my psychology book describes how a fetish or preference could possibly develop the way i described, only the example was a young kid touching himself and then spotting mom's pantyhose, causing a pantyhose fetish
ps if you have a very young son you might want to be careful about changing in front of him fellas, avoid taking a bath with him too Posted by footgirl0226 (Member # 29201) on :
lol no... Not genetic by 18months.they learn to speak walk immitate--all by 18 months so they can totally learn smart ass ways lol
Posted by whyme (Member # 29265) on :
Your family members could actually be into feet, they could just be REALLY REALLY good at keeping their secret concealed....
Im sure nobodies going to ask their dad/uncle/brother are they into feet? wouldn’t that be a bit of an embarrassing question lol?
Posted by Cain (Member # 8492) on :
Its definitely not passed down in my family. My dad once said i was in this chatroom and this freak kept asking this chick to show him his feet. My dad said why wouldn't you want to see her tits or ass what a weirdo he said. So my dad is not on the same page.

Kids learn from their environment. They pick up some behavior traits. My house can get pretty loud and I'm usually pretty mellow. My kids talk loud like my in-laws.

all kids are loud in their house

give an example of an 18 month old being a smartass

Michael P- I meant that sometimes my kids yell when the person they're speaking to are right in front of them.
Posted by Toetapper (Member # 6473) on :
I'd stay away from the nature vs. nurture debate; it is endless and unproductive. I don't think that foot fetishes are any more genetically determined than a person's vocabulary. Sure, there may be some genetic predispositions but the environment and the way a person interprets it is just as influential.
I tend to think of foot-fetishism as part of a sexual vocabulary.
Posted by secksrocks (Member # 30999) on :
If I ever found out my dad had a foot fetish.. I think I'd actually be disgusted by feet. I better never find that out!
Posted by justdaone (Member # 16096) on :
seckrocks, I feel the same way in that I'd don't want to find out. I'd feel weird discussing feet to another man. On the net is cool, but face to face, I don't know. A little different than discussing Football or Baseball!
Posted by secksrocks (Member # 30999) on :
Hey justdaone, I actually wouldn't mind having someone I can talk about my foot fetish with. Just.. not my relatives. I guess I do think it's weird and I want to believe it's only me in this family, that I'm not in a family of foot fetishists..
Posted by justdaone (Member # 16096) on :
Yeah, it might be cool. But being here certainly helps.
Posted by nodes (Member # 29542) on :
I know of no proof that i can put forward that would warrant anyone else in the family as having a thing for feet. Just me.
Also my brother is a "boob-man" yeah, he literally has boobs and is a man. Just kidding, he likes boobs ive seen his porn-stash.
On a different note, I like heavy metal, jazz and classical. Again, the only one in my family with such taste. Based on that i would say that the foot thing is a self acquired taste, but not necessarly as obscure as it is more commonly maid out to be. May i reffer to those who seek examples the following; Chinese foot binding, pedicures, foot jewelery, and all of us on this forum.
But don't get me wrong, i like a nice set of cans just like the rest of you guys do, and i would choose the girl with the nice shaped big ass, over the one without; and only mediocre feet.
Actually that has inspired me for a new thread. Good post justdaone
