The idea that the foot fetish is cross wiring is completely ridiculous. This comes from the cortical homunculus model of the brain, where the sections that control the feet and toes are next to the section that controls the genitals. The foot fetish is choosy; it isn’t egalitarian about which kinds of feet are attractive. I look at a girl’s feet the way that I look at her boobs: some are better than others. The ideal foot is small, smooth, and narrow. I prefer some parts of it more than others, my least favorite being the side profile and my favorite being the back view of the heel. Overall, they’re extremely beautiful, delicate and very much “girlish.” Whereas, I see male feet and the shapes are vile. Clearly it is an atavistic psychology; pre-domestication. I mean, why would we judge some parts of the body and not the others? How do we maintain bodily integrity? The preferred body parts must have changed. It’s why I have a thing for isosceles triangle noses and long, rectangular faces.
I’m convinced that an attraction to feet is a subconscious attraction to ‘noble’ women. I cannot speak for others and I would not describe myself as a ‘foot fetishist’, but I cannot deny the beauty of graceful and feminine feet. In ages past, peasants and other such menial workers, would have, I assume, very unattractive feet as a consequence of their work. Being outside all day, with poor footwear, less than adequate hygiene, and the like. Thus, well kept and graceful feet would be a signifier of nobility, or of considerate wealth at least.
I don’t think this is ingrained biologically per se, but certainly culturally, if subconsciously.
Foot fetishists aren’t interested in the CONCEPT of feet but specific shapes – it’s heterosexual. It’s the same as liking a certain shape of nose or rear end. An undomesticated human finds sexual meaning in every part of the human body, whereas domesticated humans have a more generalized sexuality.
Homosexuals tend to be humans with a degenerated shape language. They are the kinds of people who could be fooled by breast implants, or could easily pretend that a man is a woman
There are some men with bad taste in women. The far end of this spectrum, the mental degenerates, they will often turn gay if they have some sort of emotional issue with their parents. A man with emotional problems may appreciate homosexuality in the abstract, but if his senses are properly developed he will find the male body disgusting and untouchable
I have always been suspicious of the cross-wiring idea. I feel like it would be easy to prove, if true. Nerves can be pulled out and looked at. Have scientists done this with the corpses of dead people who were known to be foot-fetishists? I’ve not heard of that…it would be easy to do in any medical school…
