Why Soles?

[Mac]

I am not asking this because I disagree with it. A women's ticklish soles, the sight, the texture, the curves, drive me crazy! But why? Why the sole? Is it because it is not seen? Hidden more? IThey say foot and tickle fetishists are anal and maybe thats just my mind. I have been into feet, tickling and being tickled for as long as I can remember, And its frustrating. I am probably not even explaining the question correctly. I am just trying to understand me!

I was into tickling feet at an early age. Long before tickling in general. I used to think I was weird, and certainly didn't understand what a fetish was.
I believe that they are certainly linked as even today a lot of Lers have a foot focus.

Sometimes I wonder the same thing. But I've also wondered that about attraction to other parts of a woman's body as well. I also have tummy and underarm fixations, but honestly, the whole female form just lights my brain up. I can describe what I like about it, just as you can for the sole of the foot, but I usually can't attribute it to much of a why. I suppose much of why we get attracted to physical female attributes stems from evolutionary processes granting us tools to approximate things like health, discipline, status, fertility, etc. One theory from that side of things is that the foot may be a great approximation for a number of those things that we don't fully understand. At a minimum I can see it being an indicator of hygiene and status. Perhaps that part of us that's most often in contact with the ground is an indicator of risk (scars, disease, mutilation, etc). I don't know if I'll ever really know...maybe that's part of what keeps it interesting.

I am also fascinated by women's soles and have been since childhood. I have no idea why. By age 12 it became an erotic interest. I don't try to understand why; I just enjoy it.

Women tend to show off their feet without even meaning to sometimes. Dangling heels, open sandals, pretty pedicures. Even still, the part most exposed to the world is the tops of the feet, maybe the occasional arch or heel.

The sole remains hidden and elusive. You can probably find hundreds of foot pictures of your favorite celebrity in shoes or barefoot showing off toes or the tops of their feet. But to see their sole is rare. It's a grail for some. So I think scarcity is part of the answer.

The other part is that is where all the fun stuff happens. That's where all the nerve endings are. When you massage that's what you bring relief to, when you worship that's what brings pleasure and when you tickle, that's what brings laughter.

I think the soles are appealing because there is a softness and innocence to them. There is a great contrast between the soles and tops of the feet, too. The tops are often bony and muscular, and the soles are vulnerable, ticklish, and sensitive. Also, because of the taboo nature of feet, especially the soles (a lot of people don't welcome the sight of them unless it's an appropriate place like the beach), there's something naked about them, and it's often humiliating to have them exposed or seen. They're a very private part of the body for many people, and this goes well with the interest in tickling them. It's like double the humiliation for the person.

Finally, the sole represents the image of the foot that most people think of. It's the shape of footprints, the logo for a business (perhaps a footwear company), or a design feature on clothes or accessories. Our fascination with them starts from birth: ever seen those new baby footprints cards? It's such a universal symbol, and the best symbols are the ones you can easily recognize, draw, or recall. Soles are simply special.

I was into tickling first, throughout my childhood. As I started realizing it was a sexual interest and looking a lot at girls, I started paying attention to the good tickle spots, and to the few usually hidden places you could actually see sometimes - and feet were high on that list. I started looking closely at girls' feet, and pictures of girls' feet, and it just clicked "wow, those are really nice, like they have all the curves of a female body and all that smooth skin"... and I was hooked.

So tickling came first, but feet got locked in fast at puberty.

The soles of a woman's feet are my favorite. Many of my female friends and family members have nice looking feet especially the soles of their feet. I admit that seeing a woman who I don't know who's wearing shoes that are easily removeable buy just her moving her foot just a little bit I always hope to the see the bottom of her feet and if she's wearing flip flops that a jackpot view for me

Female soles can be so sensual, alluring, erotic, sexy, beautiful and just so damn fucking cute, that I believe a way higher percentage of people than we think weather they be male, female, into fetishes or vanilla, likes\appreciates them on some level.

There's a deep level of intimacy when a woman allows you access to her soles. It's a vulnerable position, even when she's just putting them in your lap for you to rub and play with them without any tickling. One of my ex-gfs told me how it always felt new to her when I would play with them or just pamper them. Another told me she felt very connected to me when I would play with them while facing her and looking into her eyes. This same gf once spontaneously put her feet in my lap when we were driving back from Philadelphia. That was an experience I'll never forget. 😊

From a tickling perspective, I just love watching how each foot responds to my tickling. Watching the toes curl reflexively. Watching her try to protect one sole with the other foot. Seeing how the sheer nylon reflects the lighting in the room. Things like that. 🥰

Well, consider how extremely common it is for women to wear sexy footwear, get pedicures, etc. A lot of people claim to find it "weird" to like feet, yet at the same time society just takes it as a given that women's feet are alluring.

Like many people in this thread, I'd argue the sole symbolizes intimacy and vulnerability when exposed, either intentionally through foot rubs/massages or accidentally through shoeplay. This is even more true when the soles of the feet have the most nerve-endings of the body, which makes them highly susceptible to ticklish reactions. When the person is wearing some kind of attractive hosiery while getting foot rubs or while shoeplaying, seeing their soles becomes more enticing to tickle. Another thing to mention is the taboo aspect in terms of relationships. For anyone who's seen their teacher's soles accidentally exposed when they were shoeplaying (raising my hand as a witness 😁), chances are you knew you wanted to tickle those feet but you also knew you couldn't because of how much trouble you'd get into.

soles are very very vulnerable parts of us and known to be unbearably sensitive
