    Idk, maybe it’s me being more of a tit girl, but I’ve got more respect for the feet people than the shin people. Knee people are between them. But yeah thigh and calf are as normal as we are.

    Are people still hung up on foot fetishes? That’s like the tip of the ice berg. I assumed making fun of foot fetishes would be the first step, but we seem to be running in place here. The cultural Zeitgeist never seemed to move on.

    I guess we will have a collective Fetish cinematic universe style discovery at some point where people realize you can have a fetish about anything. I never expected to super heroes to popular ever. Now I’m convinced everything will be popular eventually.

        Tails are better. 🧜‍♀️🧞‍♀️ But I do find the public hatred for feet to be strange. Maybe too many stubbed toes? 🤷‍♀️

      I think it’s moreso that it’s a common fetish while still being in the odd category due to the fact that feet by themselves are just not sexual to most people. Like there are weirder sexual things that are about as common if not more common but have an explicit sexual element to it. To use clothing as a comparison it’d be like someone getting excited by someone in best up work clothes vs someone getting excited by lingerie.

        That makes sense.

        Yeah to me if people didn’t actually get off on feet I’d think it was a really clever absurd thing like someone having a back of ears fetish. But not only do people get off on feet, it’s downright common.

        And like therein lies the thing. It’s not only kinda weird that its as much of a thing as it is, it’s also a fetish with way less baggage or room to be understood by those without it than other common fetishes. Like, pain is visceral whether you like it ir hate it. Different body types are possessed by folks all around us. But feet, feels like someone who’s favorite part of the pizza is the crust.

      Possibly tmi, sorry in advance. Nice calves (and forearms) are absolutely my thing. I tend to look at both on men and only women’s calves, because I mainly look for a nice musculature/bulk. I have seen some lumberjanes who are exceptions, but that type of work creates a pretty extreme divergence from standard physiques.

      I used to do 15 hours of dance a week and now I walk everywhere and work on my feet, so my own calves are my favorite body part. My husband is a pretty big guy and he works as a butcher, so his forearms are huge- they look like Gaston’s from beauty and the beast and we call them his ham hocks.

      I wouldn’t say it’s a fetish, because I can definitely be attracted to someone without calves/forearms that appeal to me, but I find myself looking at them about as much as I look at faces and butts and more than anything else.

    Just like last time I’m gonna chime in about how my ex with the foot fetish was actually super chill sexually speaking and while he had a loooooot of mental health problems his solid grasp on consent and just general sexual patience really made a big difference for me and how I negotiate my sexual needs with that of all the partners I’ve had since. He really really needed to get a job and move out of his parents house though. Still hasn’t. Jesus that man was a dumpster fire in every other conceivable way.

    As an asexual person: it’s all fucked to me. Just enjoy whatever gets you going without shame (as long as there’s consent and it’s not something that potentially impacts living beings who can’t consent like kids or animals ofc).

    Doubt.

    I agree to the part of thigh, is loved by most… then I know some with foot fetish, that claims it is ok. But show me anyone but a priest with knee fetish. Ha
