Certainly can be interepreted as such.

I've found that even when women are aware that I'm into their feet, they have trouble wrapping their brains around the idea. I've been snagged numerous times ogling or candidly recording women's footplay and even though they've figured out what I'm up to, none have removed their feet from my gaze(or my cam's lense). I suppose they figure if I'm into feet, that's my problem. I even think some of them(exhibitionists perhaps) enjoy getting to turn on a guy with something as seemngly innocent as their feet!

As far as mainstream acceptance, I have to selfishly say no, I'd rater it stay underground. Since my fetish is primarily voyeuristic in nature, I'd hate it if women felt compelled to hide their feet in public. One of my favorite things about being into feet is being able to just head to the park and take in a foot show or several(weather permitting of course!). I'm afraid that mainstream acceptance would greatly curtail if not completely stop the public foot exposure I so thoroughly enjoy!

I agree that those of us who enjoy women's feet are able to get away with stuff that, to us, is sexually charged. Personally, I've given my share of foot massages to women who had no idea that I find the female foot very erotic but have never felt guilty about it. I do view it, as someone posted earlier, as a win-win situation, as both the woman getting the foot massage and I get something out of it.

As far as foot fetishism going "mainstream", I can't say I'm a big fan of that idea. For every woman who might be accepting of it, I think there would be several that would freak out about it and spoil any public viewing pleasures. I'd rather handle women's exposure to foot fetishism hands on and on a one-to-one basis.

well you have just answered why foot fetish is a fetish.

GQGuy, this is one of the more insightful threads I've seen posted on a foot board.

Very elusive food for thought here, and I feel more proud to know that foot fetishists can be more than just a small slice of the collective "wanker pie".

The ability to seem innocuous, while really being self-serving the entire time is a true gift when opened properly. It's moral relevance, of course, will vary by individual, and that is a good discussion point you bring up as well.

Anyway, my thoughts on the dishonesty factor for misleading/"innocent" foot rubs would probably not be a surprise to many -- "it is just fine". Life is full of shameful or tragic things which we all approve of in order to get by (or survive).

Don't believe me? Just ask your next food server where the meat in your hamburger came from. And if you're a vegan, go talk (in plant language) to the parent who spread his seed for that mushroom melt you devoured last night. From there, the rationalized exceptions/justifications just wither into dribble.

Anyway, my point is that these self serving factors (that some might construe as dishonest) are just fine as long as nobody is hurt. Life is also a trade-off. Many times, what they don't know won't hurt them either... so there is no need to let a woman know that this gentle foot rub which you've offered her is actually way more rewarding for the giver than the receiver, LOL! Some things are better left unsaid, in fact, many are.

Get yours while the gettin is opportune, and believe me the opportunities are there in many forms

The potential (and probable) innocuousness of feet is our greatest gift that should be exploited for our self serving purposes (I, in fact, use this mindset in a variety of ways already in my approaches with women).

Never let out the secret of our foot fetish gift because mainstream will be really pissed at us for knowing that we were actually able to pull the wool over their eyes in return for all those years of their unfair judgment on us, LOL!

I say screw their collective biases and lets perv thru the cracks w/o them ever knowing, Tee Hee! The perception of foot rubs being a service to the recipient (rather than the fetishist) is one of many great ways to do this. An eye for an eye BABEEEE ...and a hand for a foot

We are much luckier than breast men. We get to see the object of our desire displayed in abundance on a regular basis. A breast man has to get a woman home and get her top off to see those naked breast. We can just go to a park or a grocery store or a swimming pool or the beach and see plenty.If our fetish became more widely known and as you say "mainstream", women would probably wear closed shoes all the time. Probably even some kind of foot covering at the beach. Some of our over zelous legislators who want to legislate morality would probably pass laws requiring them to keep thier feet covered. We don't want that. I like it just the way it is.

I agree with just about everything posted in this thread so far. I am especially glad to have a fetish that is not considered normal. It really helps me to give the impression of being "different" with the ladies. And so far it has worked wonders for me. I've literally been able to talk the shoes off every girl I've ever dated.

I don't think, however, that if the foot fetish could ever become so mainstream that it would change the way most people view feet. If you think about it, the foot fetish has become more and more prominent in the media over the past few years, both in positive and negative lights. But it will be a long time before we see women hiding their feet because of "creepy foot guy" hysteria. As someone else said it's very hard for most people to wrap their brain around feet being sexual, and that's something that is not going to change any time soon.

Feet are not immediately regarded as sexual by most people so it is much easier to get away with a foot massage than a breast rub.

As for myself, feet are a wonderful dessert. I want to try everything on the menu, breasts, vagina, and more. Though I generally prefer to feel my erection slipping back & forth between a pair of tightly pressed arches, there are still times when there is no substitute for plundering a tight ass.

come to think of it, there are legs men out there as well as people who love hands believe it out not, blimey! Does that mean women are gonna cover their whole body just so guys cant get stimulated by lookin at them (space suits :S)?!

I honestly dont think they will cover their feet even if it did go mainstream, women love shoes and they love to paint their toe nails and all that, i think that desire dwafs any fear of some guy lookin at them and gettin turned on, women in sandals and flats are like cleavage to us, you almost see it all but not quite. Somehow i think its because of the cover up that so many people become into something that they dont get to see often, such as breasts so even if they DID end up covering them completley, that would probably just create even more foot guys.

As for the original question, heck yes we are getting away with something that we shouldnt really, but like most people have said, the masses ignorance is our advantage, its not our fault that they see feet as just feet, it just means more for us.

This thread has made me thing abit more about the whole mainstream think, im starting to think that it might not be the best thing in the world, maybe women wont cover themselves up, but they WILL be more aware, so we will find it very hard to casually glance down without them spotting us looking there and then.

But mind you, i have all the feet i want on the internet so it isnt too much of a downer, i prefer fully being stimulated in the comfort of my own home anyways rather than getting boners in public and having to calm down before im spotted with a "gun" in my trouses

If feet aren't sexual, then why do many of us guys feel sexually attracted to them? Not meaning to open a religious debate/can of worms, but perhaps God intended the female foot to be an object adored by men.
Is offering to massage a lady's feet dishonest? I think it depends on the situation. If she's a female friend who "knows," then no. But if she's a reletive stranger, then yes it might be. Like pedactor said, don't do something stupid and turn yourself into a weirdo, in her eyes.

If foot-fetish were to go mainstream you certainly wouldn't be able to have all of the foot videos on YouTube that we all currently enjoy. I know some have complained in the past about foot videos getting flagged and eventually removed, but there arte still a ton of them! When a few foot vids ARE removed, some foot guys fain bewilderment. They complain disengenuously that the videos contained "just feet" when we all know full well its not "just feet" to us.

I think we're in a pretty good place right now as far as the current level of awareness. When the weather is warm, there's eyecandy and footshows every where you look. If you actually want to get your hands on some feet, MOST girls won't be freaked out about it even if they KNOW you have a fetish. Remember, to THEM it IS "just feet," so its no big deal. I dare say sometimes things are a little TOO good for some of us(myself included)!

great thread.

you know it's funny that i could never understand for so long how someone could be gay until i equated it with my foot fetish.
since i was a little kid i have always found womens feet to be intoxicating and i never understood why, and then i gave up on trying to figure out why cos i realized that it's just the way it is. i love womens feet. period. and i always will. all people just come programmed a different way.

that said....
for me most women i know are looking for any edge they can have over a man. they want us to want them as much as we want them. i've seen many a woman that i told about my fetish wear more open toed shoes and take care of their feet more cos they do want to have one more thing that men will find attractive.
often i come out and a lot of the women i know will come up and show me their feet blatantly. they are simply wanting to titilate me and they love the reaction of something that doesn't require them to get naked and they can do it in full view of the public with no retribution.
i honestly love it and cant think of a better fetish to have!!!

I understand that train of thought,especially when I would "sneak" that fact upon women somewhat "after the fact"....

I'm at the point where I can separate seeing feet in public and not be aroused from a more one on one situation where I can and will be aroused....So I'd say feet are just feet to me......Until I'm with some lady that I know on a more personal/intimate level..


But now that I'm older,I bring up that I'm a leg man with a foot fetish when I feel that some sort of comfort level as been achieved with the woman..

It's not dishonest if they already know....Or have been warned anyway....LOL!!!!
