      Rule of thumb is, if something exists - there are some people who are made horny by it. Human sexuality is just wild.

        Maybe… But there are a lot more people into feet than most other parts of the body.

          There really aren’t, but it is a funny meme. However, it’s funny because it isn’t very common and most people think it’s weird, but it also doesn’t hurt anyone.

              I guess it depends on your definition of a lot. There are a shit ton of people, so there’s a lot of people with every opinion. As a percentage, it’s a lot lower than the internet would have you believe. I’ve met a necrophiliac (which is probably not ok to be into), but I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who admitted they had a foot fetish, although I’m sure the rate of the latter is much higher than the former, just still a relatively small percentage of people.

                If you just look up “most common fetishes” foot fetishes are commonly near the top of the list, and are almost always the most popular part of the body for body parts that aren’t sexually dimorphic. https://bedbible.com/what-is-the-most-common-fetish-statistics/ here’s a random website study I pulled, but if you search it up it’s common across more than one study.

                You’re “technically” correct in that most people don’t identify as having a fetish at all, so the percentage of literally any fetish is a small percent of people. But when you talk about the most common fetishes, you’re only talking about the population of people who have fetishes in the first place.

      I thought I saw somewhere that the nerve center for feet and genitals were right next to each other in the brain and sometimes it gets “flipped” or the pleasure center is “expanded” and includes the feet.

        I wouldn’t care, except so many women in porn make sure to show their feet so much. It’s just as bad as the whole step sibling thing. I don’t care if it’s your kink but can we please stop putting it in all porn?? It’s just distracting.

          I love how upset this seems to make people when usually they are watching stolen porn or porn where the labor of the performers is basically completely unvalued.

          We don’t care about that, we just want them not to do kinks we don’t like even if it means they can get a bit more money out of some amount of labor that we aren’t contributing to valuing whatsoever.

              I think morally speaking just treating porn like it is a perfectly respectable, difficult job and valuing the performers as workers is the way to go.

              I mean, ok, anime porn might dodge some of that but also what happens when AI just starts spitting out perfectly good anime porn and then the whole industry of people who were doing the labor of making those animations and pictures are unceremoniously shoved into the bin and now we have a bunch of people jacking off to a medium that no longer has any human artists left making anything, it’s just AI endlessly spinning the same bullshit into slightly different forms creating a virtually worthless commodity and destroying an industry even more than it was already destroyed.

              Anime porn only appears to dodge the problem.

      Tbh I’m passingly into feet, and I don’t even know why

      I need them to be manicured, clean, and a particularly pretty set of feet for it to register to me at all. For example, the feet I. The post? Dirty, not attractive. You’d think a guy into get would like the natural state of feet but nah, not for me.

      I wouldn’t say I have a foot fetish, but I do enjoy giving and receiving foot massages. They feel good, and I want my partner to feel good. If a partner hates feet, I lose interest in the relationship, because I liked them from head to toe. While I don’t really get this fetish for how feet look, I also don’t get why it’s considered kinky, or even gross. Everybody has their thing, you know? Feet seems pretty mild when none of us can escape the incest porn.

          Fair enough. I’d say Tarantino explains his perspective fairly well in Pulp Fiction. It’s a sensuous thing. But the way I see it, feet are sensitive. Sometimes overwhelmingly so. Feet get hidden away inside shoes, decorated and accentuated by heels and jewelry, and revealed by sandals when we go swimming. Our reactions to foot stimulation often develop early in life. Tickling. Running around barefoot. Secret footsies under the table with a crush despite family or friends all around. I can see how that becomes a kink. As a fetish needed to get off though, can’t say I relate.

      So I studied medicine for years, specifically in a podiatric medical school. I heard ALL the jokes. Speaking as someone who does not have a foot fetish, I will defend foot people for the same reason I defended my choice of study.

      There are a LOT grosser aspects of the body people fetishize. When taken with that knowledge, people into feet seem quaint. Just stop trying to take pictures of random peoples feet out in public, just because they’re wearing sandals doesn’t give you permission to be a creep.

        I study psych and there’s actually a hypothesis on feet! If we map out our senses to parts of our brain, the feet are actually right next to the genitals… So it wouldn’t be too far off for the brain to associate feet with the sex organs.

        In terms of human evolutionary history, our feet were generally filthy and very heavily calloused. Actually, a heavily calloused foot provides a significant survival advantage in the wild. Keep in mind that shoes are a new invention in evolutionary terms. I don’t think you’ll find answers in evolutionary psychology on this one.

            But back in the day “good” was mostly absence of parasites.

            Well, relatively speaking anyhow. Just about everybody had them, it was more of a question of which parasites and how many – and this was largely how things were up until indoor toilets & plumbing became more common and of course still is in many areas.

            Funnily enough our immune systems sort of co-evolved with some intestinal parasites, and not having parasites is one factor in people developing autoimmunity. Some autoimmune diseases can even be treated to some extent by purposefully giving you some specific parasite (can’t remember which one, too lazy to search)

                An autoimmune disease is when your body attacks itself, and it’s possible giving yourself a parasite gives it something else to focus on…

                It’s more complex than that. If someone is exposed to parasites when they’re still developing, their chances of having autoimmune issues later in life goes down – the fancy way to say that is that exposure to some parasites lessens the chances of immune system dysregulation. Some parasite proteins can also be used to modulate the immune system to eg. treat asthma. See eg. Helminth Immunomodulation in Autoimmune Disease from 2017, abstract here:

                Helminths have evolved to become experts at subverting immune surveillance. Through potent and persistent immune tempering, helminths can remain undetected in human tissues for decades. Redirecting the immunomodulating “talents” of helminths to treat inflammatory human diseases is receiving intensive interest. Here, we review therapies using live parasitic worms, worm secretions, and worm-derived synthetic molecules to treat autoimmune disease. We review helminth therapy in both mouse models and clinical trials and discuss what is known on mechanisms of action. We also highlight current progress in characterizing promising new immunomodulatory molecules found in excretory/secretory products of helminths and their potential use as immunotherapies for acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

                But man, that sounds like when people gave themselves tapeworms to lose weight. There was some vague logic to make it sound ok. But any medical professional that condoned it probably wasn’t a very good doctor.

                Especially if they are infecting people to treat autoimmune disorders

                Just because giving someone a tapeworm for weight loss is not a great idea doesn’t really mean anything here. Immunomodulatory therapy with parasites isn’t woo-woo despite how weird it may sound, and the idea isn’t to necessarily give people worms (although that’s not entirely ruled out either!) but to learn how they do what they do

      Same what makes people get horney by being beaten, spit on, shat on and other stuff. At some point in our childhoods someone did it to us and we interpreted it as love. At least that is how it works for most.

        I don’t think “someone did it to us and we interpreted it as love” applies as often as people think.

        I’ve got some kinks that I have no idea where they “came from” because they never happened to me IRL, especially not in childhood. I honestly think there’s just certain neuron pathways that accidentally branch over onto sexual arousal pathways and one day you see some stuff and go “huh, guess I’m into that.”

          A lot of stuff in nature *just is*, and there doesn’t have to be any reason for its existence. Nature is messy and chaotic, and that’s one of the beautiful things about it.

          Why do we like some of things and dislike others? Why do some people find some things sexually arousing and some don’t? Why does sexuality and gender identity vary between people? Why do some people like video games, or snowboarding, or dancing, or doing theater, or collecting rocks, or all sorts of different things, and some don’t? Why are some people introspective and like philosophizing and others don’t? And then there’s all sorts of different physical variances like height, size, shape, colour, etc

          Sure, some of these may have evolutionary reasons, but do all of them? Or maybe a lot of variance in humans (and nature in general) *just is* because nature is not clean, robotic, and perfectly logical, and never has been?

          Nature is messy, chaotic, and it’s not clean or perfect or able to fit in perfect categories. And that’s what makes nature interesting and beautiful. It wouldn’t be the same if everything operated like a perfect robotic machine, if that would even be possible in the first place.

            this post is like a more intellectual version of the opening speech in Rubber

            it’s true though, our pattern-seeking brains get us hung up on the idea there has to be a purpose for everything but we forget we’re the ones defining and assigning “purpose”

            To be clear tho, things don’t just happen in nature for funsies, or magically without any purpose at all. All evolution has “logic”, even if it doesn’t necessarily follow our own. Species don’t evolve randomly for the fun of it.

              Except evolution literally does result in random mutations that don’t necessarily have any function, or solutions that are sub-par or inefficient, or whatever else. Or things that have unintentional consequences elsewhere. Nature is not perfect.

                Nobody’s saying it’s perfect, but it’s never completely random. The adaptations may be subpar or inefficient, but they still happened to serve a purpose, even if they did so less than perfectly.

                No animal evolves in a particular way for literally no reason.

        Actually the beating is more because of endorphins and people having atypical reactions to pain in general. Every once in a while a class on that topic shows up at bdsm events and it’s always a fun one.

        Degradation seems to be less about people interpreting it as love, but more as processing trauma or self esteem issues through role play. People don’t want to get spit on by someone who actually detests them, they want to get spit on by someone who pretends to detest them.
