I’m posting this thread to call out and correct some of the misconceptions and downright lies about the foot fetish paraphilia and community as a whole. I fully appreciate most of the people reading this will jump on this opportunity to troll and antagonise those they see as different, but even if just one person reads this and is enlightened on the matter, it would be a success.
First off let’s clarify what a fetish is, a fetish is when you get sexual arousal from non-functional-sex stimulus. At the vanilla end you normal guys being into boobs is a fetish, all the way to extremes that sometimes stray into illegal territory. Most people falsely believe that fetishes are purely environmental, that is to say a product of upbringing, but this is simply not the case. Any experts in the field of Paraphilia will tell you that for the case of the “real” or “core” fetishes such as Foot Fetish, there is most certainly a genetic component.
I can speak from experience as someone that comes from an open and enlightened family of Foot Fetishists dating back into the 18th Century, probably earlier. Almost every male member of my family going back five generations has some level of sexual arousal from feet. We have also met with similar families, mostly from Northern Europe, which may indicate that the Fetish’s genetic component is more prevalent in these areas, or that people in these areas are more open and enlightened about the natural and genetic nature of Foot Fetishism. I have taken it upon myself to marry into one of these related families to preserve the hereditary lineage.
“Core” or “real” Foot Fetishists such as members of my family have an abnormal pleasure drive and system. We have abnormal pleasure inhibitors in our nerve cells, and higher than normal numbers of pleasure receptors across our entire bodies, but especially out feet. This, in combination with higher levels of “empathetic feeling” from more highly evolved mirror neurones in the brain legitimately means we gain more pleasure from looking at a pair of clean, best pleasure feet, that a normal person gains from even attaining orgasm. You simply cannot understand out pleasure, and it is genetic, you cannot “train” a child, or “learn” to have what we call a “core” foot-fetish, your body lacks the necessary genetic adaptations.
I have no doubt that many insincere internet “foot fetishists” are not “core” foot fetishists, and have a more basic, banal form of the fetish, which is most likely a result of childhood trauma, but please do not tar all Foot Fetishists with this brush of misunderstanding.
