Opinion is often divided and some people adore feet, while others find anything to do with the area utterly abhorrent. Let's be honest, well kept feet can be quite lovely but thanks to smell, poor hygiene and wayward toenails, feet can also be pretty grim, and this dichotomy adds to the allure. ‘Feet do have a gross or taboo factor to them as well, and that can play into the appeal,’ says Struyk. ❤️ BDSM and foot play If you find feet alluring, you're not alone.

How to make foot fetish friends Another theory is known as Cinderella syndrome, a psychological condition in which a woman fears independence and secretly hankers after a knight in shining armour to rescue her. The fairytale character's perfect, small foot fitting into the glass slipper plays into this submissive fantasy. ‘Several cultures have histories of emphasising foot size as a sign of feminine/masculine attraction,’ says Knight. ❤️ Fancy dress Foot fetishism is 'a heightened specific sexual interest in feet and/or footwear,' says Knight.
