Weird feet

[siamese dream]

Okay, this is going to be a very strange topic, but it was something I was thinking about, and maybe wanted some input on my unusual situation. If you have a love for attractive feet, and can't stand to think of feet that aren't beautiful...please don't read this. I don't want to shatter anyone's dreams 😉.

I've always wondered why it seems like nearly everyone with a tickling fetish also has a very strong foot fetish, but I don't. Of course, I think feet can be beautiful...but to me, they're really just another part of the body that's usually ticklish, and that's why I think an attractive pair of feet can be sexy. They aren't ranked 'above' other body parts for me. There are things I find a lot sexier than feet, even gorgeous ones. But it seems like they really ARE more fascinating to a lot of you. I wonder if the reasons behind my oddness in this respect have to do with my job, and the unusual amount of weird feet I see. Some of you know I work in a home for mentally retarded. I'm not sure why this is, but almost every m.r. person I've ever worked with has some kind of foot deformity...some of them extreme. I've worked with a lot of them who are non-ambulatory (they can't walk), and there are usually several physical reasons for this...but I think a huge one is that so often, their feet are so messed up that it would be physically impossible to stand on them. I've seen feet so strange looking that it's hard to describe them. A lot of them look like the toes were put on in the wrong order, or point in very odd directions, or even like the whole foot was put on backwards. I wonder if seeing this so often has kind of forever tarnished my image of feet 😉...It is hard sometimes to think about feet without thinking of all the strange things I've seen, especially since I encounter it on almost a daily basis.

I love my job, but it might have completely messed up my perception of feet for good. I wonder if I might have more than a passing interest for them if I hadn't ever seen some of the things I have. I do seem to be in the minority among tickling people when it comes to feet.

% with a foot fetish?

Never really thought about it...guess I'm with you Dream...there's a few other spots I definitely like better, but a nice foot is always appreciated...of course one that's tied securely somehow always looks best to me..lol...but put me down in the "not a foot fetishist" category as well. I'm sure you'll hear from a few more also.. Q

Not Odd

Siamese,

You're not the least bit odd.

I don't have that either.

Hmmm, I've been wanting to experiment with the polling feature.

Hey mods, has that poll already been run out ?

 

[Sunriseticklee]

LOL... Not odd at all. I am certainly NOT a foot person. Though cute feet aren't a bad thing. And the thought of anyone gravitating to and tickling ONLY my feet is actually a HUGE turn OFF for me an it is also extremely ANNOYING! To the point where I have actually stopped laughing, rolled my eyes, looked down at the guy and said... LOOK Enough!

There are other, more sexier... more ticklish spots on my body than my FEET! And if I, like Siamese have further wrecked anyone else's dreams... LOL Oh well. Heeheehee.... Most of my friends know I love having my upper body tickled anyway. 😛

Live, Laugh and TICKLE

PS... Course if you are a foot lover, but you are also an equal opportunity tickler.... then that's different and I LOVE YA! 😀

SD, there are a lot of people here, both female and male who don't have a thing for feet, but DO have a thing for tickling. I'm not one of them, because my tickling fetish grew out of my foot fetish, but I've spoken to an awful lot of people who are just like you.

 

[milagros317]

results of poll

Here are the results of a poll that I did (more than 30 days ago, so you'll have to fiddle with the Poll forum to find it):

The question was, "Do you have another fetish, besides tickling?".

There were 65 votes cast.

Feet 46
Domination/Submission 2
Spanking 2
Erotic teasing 5
None 3
Yes, but other than those listed 7

Note that feet got over 70% of the votes cast, but certainly not all of the votes.



PS This being summer, I see lots of feet, in sandals or flip-flops, every day in the subway or on the street. Many are ugly, or even deformed. That does not shatter my dreams; it just makes me appreciate lovely feet even more.

Not a true fetishist

I have always believed, and still do, that a true foot fetishest has no interest in anything above the ankle. Well, perhaps that the owner of the objects of their desire is of the proper gender, but little else. Those of us who love feet, as I do, are better described as "Enthusiasts". Yes we like the feet. but are attracted to the whole person. A sexy pair of feet on a cold, or mean, or generally unpleasant person, is not at all a turn on, where as plain, or even "weird" feet on a warm, caring, pleasant person usually is, at least for me, especially if they are ticklish! (but you already knew that). So, in short, it's the person, not just the feet, that determine "weird" or not for me!

By your definition, I am a foot enthusiast, not a true fetishist, also.

The jargon used by psychologists seems to have changed; they now write about "partialism" for people who are sexually aroused by only one part of the body, rather than "fetishism".

(Off topic) What percentage of heterosexual men in are breast enthusiasts? What percentage are true breast fetishists?

 

[TickleCrazy]

I'm with the non-foot-fetish minority. To me, the whole body is for tickling including feet.

Sad to hear about the foot afflictions of retarded people. Probably something something to do with neurological development and will be fixed with gene therapy someday.

I'd describe myself as a true fetishist, even though I hate the word. However I'd never let my attention go nowhere higher than the ankles.

 

[babinsky]

Well...I'm a foot guy and I don't mind saying so. Womens feet, tickling them, and the womans reaction is the ultimate turn-on.
I didn't decide one day to latch on to this fetish, it doesn't work that way. I believe I was born with it. And I'm not sorry for it. The main thing to remember, is have an open mind and accept people and their fetishes just the way they are.

 

[CitY of MicA]

and you think you're odd

I've never posted about this before on the Forum, but I would imagine I've managed to create a separate category for myself with regard to taste. I have had a foot-fetish for a long time, and I used to have a much stronger urge to tickle this area above all else. However, my tastes have changed. While I still do have a foot-fetish, I am not satisfied if I'm watching a tickling video and the ticklee's belly goes untouched. For me, this is the (as one of our felow Forum members once put it) 'holy grail.' Go figure.

 

[siamese dream]

Thanks for the responses. Yeah, I guess I'm not so odd, or maybe just as odd as everyone else is 😉. I think it's interesting and actually pretty sexy when someone has a foot fetish, since it's so closely connected to tickling... I just don't have one myself. But I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a guy who just LOVED to pay loads and loads of attention to my feet, or wanted me to do so to his. hehe. As long as the rest of the body wasn't ignored 🙂

TickleCrazy, perhaps it will be fixed with gene therapy someday, I would hope so, for I think it would really suck not to be able to walk. I've seen many m.r. clients with physical crippling and deformity of other places on the body too, but for some reason it seems to happen very often in the feet.

Feet...

I guess I like any part of the anatomy so long as it's ticklish. On the other hand, with the female art form, the feet are the last to draw my attention. With regard to my wife's feet, I likely have as much fun applying her toe nail polish as I do tickling them, well, maybe not quite as much. Her feet are a target, although, I like the backs of the knees. Thighs are a treat (In a dark theater, if my wife is wearing shorts, I don't use the arm rest between us, I use her thighs)...also if she's wearing blue jeans...or a skirt...or...thighs are a treat.

My tickling preference is upper body, almost anyway you can imagine. Something that always gets my attention is the function and the way bras are constructed. It's fun to imagine that designers of bras have to have a tickler's fingers in mind so that bras should be fun as much as they are functional. A nicely fitting bra accomplishes a number of things. When you get her arms held over head, and you tickle a woman's ribs just beneath the place where the cup blends into the strap that circles around back, you can watch the strap move up and down as you tickle your finger tips up and down over the rib cage. The bra moves just slightly, but just enough to be really sexy.

Then I always like to wriggle my finger up under the strap (between strap and rib), and the bra stretches out just far enough to accommodate it. I think we are getting into why I like upper body tickling. Women have such fantastic areas that demand tickle play. You can tickle ribs under the strap, and you can work your fingers toward the front right where the soft part of the breast comes together with the ribs. Exploring my wife's ribs in this way drives her absolutely mad. What is so fantastic about this is if the bra fits properly, it causes the entire chest to move as a unit. If you are tickling a topless woman, you can make the breasts work independent of one another. You sort of can also force them to work independently, but only slightly if she is wearing a bra. Yet there is so much about this you can use to add to the tease. Heck, commenting on the magnificence while you tickle away can add to the fun.

My first love, though, will always be armpits. I s'pose these being the most ticklish areas in this house may add to that love. And, I nearly always save the armpits for last. Saving the best 'til last can also go a long way toward teasing a woman to the edge of sanity…or is that ecstasy?

Add me to the upper body group.

People show up in mass numbers to quickly respond to siamese dream's post!

I've always wondered why it seems like nearly everyone with a tickling fetish also has a very strong foot fetish...

First of all, obviously upperbody fans are probably going to take offense to the mention of the phrase "nearly everyone." There are a lot of people in the tickling community that have no interest in looking at another female/male foot (although any good tickler knows to tickle any ticklish spot...no matter how much they positively abhore "looking" at it! 🙂 ), just like there are a lot of people in the foot community that have no interest in tickling (that sort of begs the question, how many other things can you do with feet other than tickle them? But I'm sure they would be happy to explain that answer in full detailed exposition 🙂 ). I think the bottom line here is that there is a rather broad crossover between foot fetish people and tickling fetish people, and it's a wonderful thing. I can't tell you how many people I have chatted with online who were into BDSM only to find that more often than not, that interest didn't encompass tickling! Actually, one of the funniest recollections I have on that particular subject was chatting with a self-proclaimed sub who would do "anything her master proclaimed"..that is, until I mentioned tickling, and she totally balked saying that it was "pure torture!" And trust me, this is coming from a woman who would endure just about any kind of pain.

There are things I find a lot sexier than feet, even gorgeous ones. But it seems like they really ARE more fascinating to a lot of you.

Speaking for myself (seeing how it would probably both inappropriate and inaccurate to speak for Marquis De Sade), the main reason I am into feet is because I love the reactions they have given me through tickling in the past. That has been the most ticklish spot on the few women I have had the pleasure of tickling, so psychologically I think I equate the sight of feet (especially bared) with a particular woman's own ticklish reactions -- her laughter, her squealing, her begging, her humiliating singing of the Barney theme song 😀, etc. I'm sure some people have just the opposite story, i.e. they first liked the way feet looked, and then that specific interest grew into a passion for tickling. The same goes for a armpits, navels, and pretty much any other body part you can imagine. Although I'm not sure about this, based on this theory, I'm pretty sure there would be a related crossover interest between people's butts and spanking.

I love my job, but it might have completely messed up my perception of feet for good. I wonder if I might have more than a passing interest for them if I hadn't ever seen some of the things I have. I do seem to be in the minority among tickling people when it comes to feet.

This makes sense. How many times have you heard of someone who immerses oneself deeply into politics/medicine/writing/film, only to emerge entirely frustrated and alienated from what they once originally thought they loved? J.C. Watts, J.D. Salinger, Terrence Malick spring to mind, but I'm sure there are an endless array of examples. The most important thing to remember is your reactions and perceptions to this world are malleable and ever-changing. It's really hard to swear off something completely, or agree to stand behind something completely for all of eternity, because you just never know exactly how you will change as a person...or exactly when you will meet a dude with some really fiiiiine feet.

Well Folks,

I have always had a foot fetish. Part of that fetish was based on the shape of softness of the foot, but part of it was also based on the fact that most feet are sensative. As a teenager, I used to love watching girls walk around on hot asphalt. The jumping and squirming really turned me on, just like tickling feet does today. I do not understand how seeing ugly feet can turn someone off from tickling feet. We have all seen lots of ugly feet, even on otherwise beautiful girls. But this does not undermine our desire to get our hands and mouth on those beautiful female feet walking around out there, even when the girl is a little less attractive.

Perhaps I am a true foot fetishist. Because to me, the feet make the girl. While I would date an average looking girl with amazingly beautiful and ticklish feet, I would never date a super model girl with ugly feet. Basically, when I see ugly feet, I stop looking, period. If I do have to look, I immediately stop associating it in a sexual context. I just cut off those feelings.

Feet are so beautiful to me that it's hard to imagine being turned off by bad feet. Many girls have bad bodies, bad faces, bad breasts, bad legs, but that does not stop the male population from pursuing those rare gems that possess those qualities most guys seek.

I think it just depends on what you like. A foot guy is not going to change his perspective just because he works in a podiatrists office with bad elderly feet all day.

I think this whole "parts" discussion is miguided anyway. Every man I know likes certain parts over others. Some guys are into feet, others are into legs, butts, faces, lips, tits, you name it.

I think a man likes what he likes, no matter how many "bad" examples he encounters. Trust me, I have run into a lot of bad feet. But this does not encourage me to move my focus to another area of the female anatomy. It just encourages me to seek out those rare beauties with heavenly feet, so captivating and ticklish that I melt right on the spot.

i would put myself...

into the "partialist" catagory i guess. but i still wouldn't ignore the rest of the package. truth be told, as i'm getting older, i'm finding myself looking at the breasts, and underarms more and more.

My favorite place to tickle...

THE SKIN!!!
I used to love to tickle feet, but honestly they are "hard" tickle targets for long term tickling. Sure the quick up the sole is great, but for the long term you have to hold the ankle some way, get your fingers in and around the feet, of course you first have to get past the foot wear/socks.
So really I have become an upper-body fan out of ease of access.
I mean you can get a set of ribs and just go to work, they will squirm and jump and what not but you can pretty well keep contact and the best is when they pull thier arms down and you can tickle longer.
Really I love to tickle skin, anywhere is good. 😀
