I have a foot fetish and I have told some girlfriends about it, they loved me so they didn't take it as a deal breaker thing, they just were OK with it and some of them even found it a turn on but this is obviously because I didn't tell them too soon in the relationship. My foot fetish is not so strong, you know, I can perfectly have a sexual relationship without involving feet at all its just that I like them more if I can touch or lick the girls feet cause it turns me on. What I wanted to know is if you girls, who don't know me , who are just girls who are impartial , find my foot fetish as a real turn off or not.so the question is, is my foot fetish a turn off?

It's called Podophilia and it's very common. I'm into Psychrotentiginosity (Sex in the cold), but I don't have to practice it to be satisfied in my relationship, so I know how you feel.

However it's irrelevant whether we like it or not. It's whether someone you're in a relationship is willing to practice it with you. Some people prefer tea to coffee.

Yeah yeah I know that, I don't actually mind cause I'm happy now, you know, I was asking just for curosity

All right I'll bite... ( no pun intended)

Personally, I can tell you that wouldn't bother me. I don't see anything wrong with it.

NOW, if my lover ONLY pays attention to my feet and not the spots that really count... then we have a problem.

I think you're fine... If you're happy and your lover is happy.. then great!

Somewhere in the AMHD archives is a post I made about dating someone who was "into" my shoes - not my feet, my shoes.

My opinion was - and is - that it was not a pleasant experience for me.

I think anything taken to the extreme is problematical, and I think your partner deserves to know ahead of time.

Just my experience and thoughts.

This is something very much that she probibly will either like of strongly dislike (I'm sure there might be a few indifferent ones as well)... so undoubtedly there will be a large number of women that are STRONGLY turned off by it... and a few that might really like it... just like any other specific fetish. But like was mentioned... its something that should be brought up early enough into the relationship that if you find she's really put off by it everyone can part ways easier. I don't expect most people can learn to like something if they are put off by it in the beginning... people that are indifferent without a strong feeling might be... but its best to find someone into it unless you are prepared to keep it to yourself in case she is one of those. And that will apply to any specific fetish or act that deviates from what is considered average and vanilla. Pick any of them. That way everyone can be happy and open about everything.
