Is foot fetishism real? I might have been conned!

[kylie_T]

I've been told that a bloke at work who took my shoes off and really closely studied my bare feet probably has afetish for feet. Is this real? He said he wanted to see my nail varnish and just examined them at point blank. I said in another thread how emabarrasing it was as my feet tend to really smell but he didn't say anything so I thought he was being polite or had no sense of smell! But a couple of people told me he was probably getting off on it I just laughed at them but they insisted it's real. I still kind of think they're winding me up but are they?

It's not Paul McCartney is it ?

[Pippa68]

yes it real..have a google and see ;o)

As strange as you or I may think it, podopholia does exist.

Not only is it real but incredibly popular. Men may be the main starters, but due to the erogenous zones in the feet (try it for yourselves) women rarely object to being the object of desire.

Technically a fetish is where a particular thing is preferred over sex, so that is less common, but being turned on by them is far from unusual.

He should have a look at my poor old feet. That'd cure him!!!

[kylie_T]

So do you think that's what this man was doing? I mean, I'm not kidding my feet really really smell! And he was SO close up to them, how could he enjoy that??? Also there's bene at least once before ages ago when the same kind of thing happened a bloke said he had to pull my shoes off and he examned my bare feet too - I feel like really stuopid if this is all true!

[Pippa68]

I takes allsorts I suppose ~ I would love it if someone found my feet attractive..even I hate them and my husband refuses to have them anywhere near him ;o)

Just humour the man!!

It's funny u say that pippa in the past I have alloowed guys to just examine my bare legs because they said they really liked them and becuase i reckon their my best feature i was really plaesed! I suppose because of my foot odour i'm just really embarrassed by my feet plus they always look so grimy from the insides of my shoes so unlike my legs I'm not proud of them at all! maybe your right whenever a guy asks to take my shoes off I should just sit back and let him have his way!

[kylie_T]

so ward minter are you saying someone could be arrested for smelling a woman's feet???? I wasnt to plaesed about it but i wouldn't want him arrested!!!

[beryllium]

charge him next time kylie_T.... ;-)

I doubt someone with podophilia has any particular attraction to you or your legs, just feet in general so I wouldn�t flatter yourself.

[purpose]

There are some funny people out there.

Yes, kylie_T, everything about your feet will probably have been giving this fella huge excitement, even the smell, as you say.

Some like feet to be bare, others like feet to be in open-toed sandals and others... well... let's not go there.

It's actually more common than you would think!

[kylie_T]

wow i just don't know what to ythink now. I wasnt trying to flatter myself I just remnember liking it when a guy wanted to look at my legs and comparing it with the idea this other guy did the same thing but with my bare feet. I think part of it is I feel a bit dumb as everyone else seemd to know abiout this now I look it up as you said and theres loads of stuff about it!!!!! and yes people who WANT to smell girls feet!!!!! i nebver ever ever thought someone could think about my cheesey stinking feet like that it seems insane!!!!!

[kylie_T]

does anyone think i should confront this guy? i mean ask him if he enjoyed smelling my feet

[Pippa68]

I would only complain if he asked me to put on some spiky heels and squish a frog...

[natalie_1982]

Where the hell do you work?!!

Foot fetish aside, why would you just remove your shoes or let anyone 'examine' your feet, legs or anywhere else at work??

[natalie_1982]

PMSL @ Pippa.

Btw, my hubby sounds like yours. He's got some names for my feet too which aren't exactly flattering.

[beryllium]

kylie, have a little bit of respect for yourself and most certainly don't ask the perv if he enjoyed it, as he'll probably disappear off to the loo with that!!!

also, if you think your legs are a good point, then good for you..... ;-)

[kylie_T]

natalie i work in an office in london, the legs thing is a seperate thing it was ages ago in private!!! i was just comparing. This guy with me feet he said he wanted to look at my painbted toenails he was buying someone nail varnish as a present or something but I know it'ds really stuopid I just COULD NOT say outright that my feet smell so I'd rather he didn't and if I said no and he said why I wouldn't know what to say. as I'm sayingf this I can see how lame it is! I really do feel an idiot. Pippa I don't get that last post but its making feel sick!!!!
