One fetish that is widely talked about and rarely understood is a foot fetish. In fact, mention anything about a big toe or a seductive ankle and you would probably get an eyebrow raise from anyone you go on a date with. That being said, there’s nothing wrong or sinful about being attracted to foot fetish sex toys. Just like some men prefer a woman’s back end to her breasts, and others go crazy over long legs or a lush, full head of hair, other men find feet to be alluring.

If you find yourself having these fantasies, do not worry. The more you can learn about your foot fetish, the more empowered you will be to act on it. Here’s everything you need to know about getting into your urges:

Just like with anything else that turns you on more than other parts, a foot fetish can come from a variety of different places and sex experts agree there are many theories on what could cause this specific desire.

Early Experience with a Foot

You develop fetishes in response to erotic associations. If you had an early erotic experience that involved feet, your brain and body may have created a lasting erotic association. This may be considered a Pavlovian response and you can stimulate it by introducing foot fetish sex toys into your sex life to boost stimulations.

The Desire to Be Submissive

For men with a foot fetish it may be the only thing that gets them aroused – either touching the feet, fantasizing about it or talking about it. Some men have said that they want to be submissive to a woman’s foot, lay at her feet, rub, touch and smell her feet and toes, and lick them  so they should maximize on it by using foot fetish sex toys.

The Disgust of Feet

Your foot fetish may have more to do with disgust. As arousal levels heighten, your disgust instincts become less sharp and you no longer respond as strongly to disgust. This altered state of perception allows you to engage sexually with objects that you might normally find off-putting – like feet. It is naughty, dirty and shameful; a foot fetish may be one outlet through which we reconcile the conflict between our experience of sexual pleasure and negative sexual messages. But at the end of the day if you use foot fetish sex toys well you will debunk these sayings and have unforgettable fantasy satisfaction.
