Foot people - do you consider yourself perverted?

[pfromptown]

They might look on it as being a little weird, but most people just go, "well, whatever turns you on, it's cool".

Bloody hell, apparently I've got to move to Nottingham! I've got to say that I've never heard of many people let alone "most people" taking it as casually as that before, but OK, fair point, maybe a shit fetish would be frowned upon even more than ours. Everyone with any sexual deviance is innocent as far as I'm concerned, and I would include the Michael Jacksons of this world in that as well, 100% (Although its funny that I just typed the actual term out and almost automatically deleted it straight away, it's still a very harsh word to use, and I find it ugly). They need our help people, not our hatred! But anyway, I'm digressing...

There's some really interesting stuff cropping up here. The William Rossi book will be among my posessions soon methinks. As to my opinion, I think that the term 'pervert', like many others I can think of (Such as the aforementioned other 'P') are thrown around far too readily as a result of the globalization of trashy mass media. Most people will regularly behave in a voyeuristic manner, but many trivialize it by cracking a joke or bringing someone else in on it etc. I think the unfortunate cases are with lookers who are unable to do this, because of embarassment or whatever, and who are sometimes wrongfully branded 'perverts' by the common person (Often the person being observed) who finds them just as creepy as someone who leaves video cameras in tanning salons, who I think are the real sorts who the term was coined to describe and are the only people I know of who have it levelled at them justifiably. I think we fall into the second bracket because (for the most part anyway) we have a problem publicising our desires, and so remain silent and thus creepy in the eyes of the commoner, although fortunately I don't think many of us get caught. I think I've been spotted looking a couple of times, but I have never been confronted about it, either because the person was too embarassed or because they wouldn't have considered that I was gaining pleasure from looking at what is to them an obscure body part. I think unless you're hiding under tables and licking ladies feet (like that total arsehole who got caught doing it a while back - I'd tie his dick in a knot if I ever got the chance!) then despite what people say, you're simply a healthy observer like most people, and shouldn't be losing any sleep.

I know I'm not a pervert just cuz I like women's feet. There are much worse things to be turned on by than a woman's feet.

No way! If it makes you feel good, do it! Whatever floats your boat or finds your lost remote! You just do you and I'ma do me!

Perverted? No, not IMO. Finding a part of someone's body to be erotic is not a perversion. There are cultures where the "ordinary" man in our society would be called a breast fetishist, because in that culture they treat women's breasts as function for feeding infants but not erotic. So what?

Unethical? No, not IMO. Everybody decides what to show when they dress. If they don't want you to see their hands, they can wear gloves. If they don't want you to see their feet, they can wear closed shoes or boots. If they don't want you to see their eyes, they can wear big dark glasses. It's their choice, and it's not unethical to look at what they have chosen to show in public.

It is impolite to stare and drool. 😛

Being turned on by something that for most people would have to be an "aquired taste" shall we say....sadly that is called being a pervert by a lot (maybe most?) people. When a movie called Exit to Eden came out in 1994, I remember hearing Roger Ebert review it. He said there's no way to make kinky sex funny. IMO its more likely that there's no way for Rosie O'Donnell (in bondage gear ) and Dan He-USED-to-be-funny-didn't-he??? Akroyd to make kinky sex funny. But if Roger Ebert was right, and most people don't find "kinky sex" funny, it may be because of something I saw in a video on YouTube once which I not-so-conveniently can't find now. It said that studies show that people with fetishes have a part of their brain that actually functions differently than that part of the brain functions in a person without a fetish. So, you either "get it" or you don't. So in conclusion, non-foot fetish people consider foot fetish people perverted because Rosie O'Donnell appeared in a movie in bondage gear. The end. :bows:

As a female and a lover of feet, i wouldn't consider it perverted to look at exposed feet. You wouldn't consider yourself perverted if you acknowledged a beautiful pairs of eyes or nice lips, it's all the same, just because society says that liking feet is perverted doesn't mean that it is. Furthermore, if people don't want you to look at them all they have to do is cover them up.

Although i do think it's possible to take into a perverted realm as with just about anything. Society can make anything perverted these days. I think part of the problem is that they aren't talked about nearly as much as other body parts, so it's less socially acceptable. You don't hear many people compliment feet.

Well, "perverted" essentially means "abnormal," and "normal" is just based on what's common. Picasso was once a perversion of art.

So, yes, unless this kind of fetish is secretly found in the majority of people.

I've read/heard for some reason it's the most common. I wonder if it's more accepted in other parts of the world. Like Europe.

Even if it's the most common fetish, I'd be really surprised to learn that the <I>majority</I> of people have it. It certainly doesn't have a monopoly on, say, <I>breasts</I>, the attraction to which is no less deserving of the name "fetish," and is considered so normal that people wouldn't even think to ask others if they consider themselves perverted for liking them.

According to the Rossi book, YES!
