It has so much bad conotations. It paints us as different from other guys--and at its worst, weirdos! And besides, I've read that as many as 20% of us are attracted to female feet, and that's pretty sizable. It puts us just behind the three other female body parts men admire.

Ive always thought that, its sad i have to hide it because some people are too narrow minded to accept it and instantly lable me as a weirdo

I'm pretty ambivalent about that word. Do I love female feet? Is the ocean wet?
The thing is that feet are not my only turn-on, I love a nice pair of boobs as much as the next guy, and those of you who know me well, know that I go crazy for nice plump asses, see Alicia and Tracy J., among others...
I'm happy to "schtup" any great looking girl, even if that doesn't involve foot worship at all, it's all good to me, so I not sure if I have a foot fetish 'cause to me, the word fetish implies a certain level of obsession, which I don't have. Am I the exception or the rule?

Sadly when enough bad peanuts out there give the rest of us a bad name it paints us all with the same brush in the eyes of some.
Need to nip the bud at the source and teach some of these perverts and freaks to quit creeping women out and then they can learn real female skills so they succeed instead of having to just look at feet and crave them all the time.
It is a very relieving feeling to actually get those feet in your face and it helps kill the obsession that causes some of the foot guys out there to bring a bad connotation to the word fetish.

Get used to the word "FETISH" because it is not going any where else soon. The word is really not bad. Relax, there are so many kinds of fetishes. Embrace the word. I prefer people say I have a foot fetish than describe me as some guy with that kinky obession with feet. Fetish sounds so much more sophisticated. So get over it man!!!

I don't like having to call it a fetish on occasion, but it is. Possibly even an obsession. I can't be with someone who doesn't have nice feet. I think about feet between 60 and 90 percent of the time. If I have a sexual thought, it ALWAYS involves feet.
I may not want to call it a fetish, but as the old saying goes, "If it walks, talks, and acts like a duck..."
Posted by RJFoot (Member # 37988) on :
I'm ok about the word "fetish", but I only get a bit uneasy about it when people find out about it for the first time; I guess I am waiting to gauge their reaction. But I will never apologise about it, it's part of who I am. I have other fetishes too but I would be more uncomfortable if "fetish" is used in that context rather than "foot fetish".

Heh, I love the word fetish.
Posted by curly09 (Member # 33380) on :
What I hate about the word "fetish" is escorts, prostitutes at brothels or even strippers the moment they hear that word they want to charge extra.Dirty bastards. But once I talk them into waiting till the end to pay the extra I work my magic and then they like what I do, so I dont pay extra. Thats the only thing I really hate about the word.
Posted by LovelyLadies (Member # 5079) on :
The worst part about it is if you are able to enjoy the rest of the female and not only her feet, the general consensus believes, you can't.
Fetish is an object of pure desire. Something you just go crazy for, thus the women believe that you ignore the rest of her and it's more of a selfish indulgence of her 1 particular part of the body.
To let a woman understand you enjoy her feet but can love the rest of her just as much is hard when the word fetish is thrown around.
Unfortunately there are those that ONLY go for the feet and make the women's worst fear true.
Posted by FIASCo (Member # 1899) on :
I don't mind the word even though most people don't have a clear understanding of what it actually means. People who truly have a fetish are unable to achieve sexual gratification without that thing. So if a guy likes feet, but doesn't need heels, soles and/or toes to make it happen, he's technically not a foot fetishist.
Posted by DeTrOiT (Member # 37598) on :
Just to add to this...My understanding is that it has to be an object as in panties, shoes, leather, lace, silk, etc. Meaning that if it's a body part, it's not truly a fetish and you have to have it present to get sexual gratification...This means that there is truly no such thing as a "foot fetish" unless it.s for those "fake" feet that you can buy that some guys tend to like...But we use the word fetish because it's easier than saying, "I adore pretty female feet"...

The reason I don't care for it is that there's the whole breast fetishism, but you never hear tit fetish. Detroit it's also defined as a non genital part of the body that causes erotic response.

Exactly, or Ass Fetish? lol who says that...it's all about attractive body parts and for different reasons. Posted by Keyfeet (Member # 27313) on :
Fetish doesnt mean feet. Everybody has a fetish.
Posted by feetluvr (Member # 1570) on :
I do often wonder whether people, especially girls, would get as weirded out if was termed an "interest" or "obsession" instead of a "fetish".
Posted by bluetoelover (Member # 14736) on :
Anytime I have ever told a chick about my love for feet I just throw it out as a casual thing, "yeah I'm a foot guy" or "yeah ya got me! I got a thing for pretty feet on a pretty girl" BAM! Puts the girl at ease if you don't make it sound like a disease... I mean really how do expect them to feel if you put it like "yes, yes I do have a foot fetish". It's not something to be ashamed about at all fellas, its only as creepy as you make it to be.
That and there is a time and place for telling a girl you have a thing for pretty feet too, not in the middle of a mall or to a complete stranger. Let's be realistic for a minute. It is a sexual body part to us and the activities that we like to do with them so when guys on here say to just go up and confess your love for feet to random chicks I call bullshit. It would be the same as walking up to a random chick and saying "I fucking LOVE anal, can we?" I know I know its a bit of an extreme example, but is it?
Sorry for a long winded response but I got time to kill. Posted by little5 (Member # 26188) on :
The word doesn't bother me. Those perverted idiots that attack women in grocery stores and lick their feet bother me. They give us all a bad name.
Posted by FIASCo (Member # 1899) on :
A person who is sexually aroused by an object or a nonsexual part of the body that may become necessary for sexual gratification has a fetish. (People can disagree about whether or not feet are a sexual body part or not, but...)
Posted by Reinforcedheelstoes (Member # 1099) on :
Believe it or not, foot love and foot worship ARE going mainstream. And nothing is going to stop it. It is SO EASY these days to get a girl's feet in your mouth it isn't funny. Attraction to the female foot is far too common to still be called a fetish. The only weird thing about it is the attitude we invent for it in our minds. Women really don't care. I can't stress this enough. They could give a shit if we kiss, rub or suck on their feet, and the only complaint I've ever heard, is to NOT linger there. Do that to me ALL over, please.
I've asked my girlfriend, the cute little blond in my avatar thing, and she told me this in all seriousness. "Do I mind? Hell no. My whole body belongs in your mouth and if you ever stopped worshipping me in this manner, I guess you are cheating on me and we break up."
Posted by MitchC (Member # 20084) on :
Most times, when talking to a girl either here, or at the tickling site I belong to.. where there are also many foot "fetishists", I usually refer to my foot fetish as an "interest"
Supposedly, the true nature of the word "fetish" means where you can not obtain sexual arousal or orgasm, without contact of the body part, or item you have the "fetish" of. For me, and I'm sure others, this is not neccessarially true.

Some people relate the term "fetish" with whips and weirdos. Yesterday I met this girl in downtown LA, I told her about these foot parties and how she can have her feet worship. She told me that it felt a little weird. She's from Ohio but is a pro dancer(stripper). I told her that in a strip club she's sure to find more than foot fetishist. There are nastier propositions in there. I was heading to a video shoot in Santa Monica after coming from another video shoot in Downtown LA. On my way to Santa Monica she texted me that she and her friend were interested.

Some people thing that we foot guys don't like other things. I'm a ass man too, is not just feet. But if you're an ass man that is more common.
Posted by Doc Ock (Member # 46755) on :
I agree too. I disslike the word.
Posted by Cain (Member # 8492) on :
Yes fetish does often bring negative connotations, and there are a lot of people I know that like feet in all different sorts of ways. Often we are referred to as foot freaks... Not cool
Posted by DeadGoon (Member # 24278) on :
I agree with Doug on this. There's honestly no valid reason that feet need to be singled out from asses and breasts with the word 'fetish'.
I think it's an ugly word that doesn't fit to my experience of the transcendent beauty of the female foot.
And it's not always a sexual thing either. I can be awestruck and inspired by the graceful aesthetics of a pair of stunning female feet but not necessarily feel the need to jerk off.
Posted by dangerboy450 (Member # 21682) on :
I hate the term with a passion, beginning with the fact the word just sounds harsh. Any word ending with a '-sh' is just asking to be unpleasant. Not to mention the 'f' and 't' sounds which add to the discomforting alliteration in 'foot fetish' and 'foot freak'. Ugh...(shivers).
Also, is the word 'fetish' even necessary? 90% of the time, it is only used in conjunction with feet. As it stands, it's just a label which our puritanical society places on us, purposefully, to separate us from what is "normal". As a slang term, it could be used to describe anything as it is possible to derive pleasure from just about anything. I like hot dogs, I feel happy when I eat one, does that mean I have a 'hot dog fetish' (watch out sports-loving middle America)?
I also never use the word to describe myself to anyone for any reason. I read that a lot of members call themselves 'a foot guy' when talking to women. Why are you bothering to label yourself? I am first and foremost, secondly, and lastly, A MAN. I have many qualities and attributes that don't require promotion of any kind. I have never witnessed to anyone that I like feet, because it is so unnecessary. I like a woman's face, breasts, ass, and feet. I like feet more than other parts, but I don't need to bring that up.
I just don't think the word fits into what most of our lives are like. I don't identify with any umbrella term. Not in politics, religion, music, and especially not human interaction. To me 'foot fetish' describes everything I'm not into. I occupy a very small niche in this community which not only puts me at odds with society, but this subculture as well. I am more about tolerance through apathy than acceptance through labeling.
