I have been foot shy my whole life. I think as a result, its led to a foot fetish. Being seen barefoot, even in flip flops etc, would be seen well out of the norm by people i know, and make me very uncomfortable. I have been out in public, secretly (i.e. when i know i wont see anyone i know) in flip flops, and it was exhilerating for a little while, but soon became a cheap thrill. I feel the more i am barefoot amoungst people, the less sexual power it holds over me. I went for a foot massage, first time ever, at the age of 32, in my mind i built it up so much, but during the session, it was like hmm big deal. i then went to a mosque, i am not religious but i thought that would be one place i could be barefoot (in public) and not look out of place... i loved it, although the time i went it was completely empty, only like 3 people around the building - i dont know how i would feel if there were alot of people? anyways....its winter, and theres not many places i can go to be barefoot in public, the mosque is still the best bet, although i feel bad going to a religious place for personal desires, plus i work alot so i cant really go off peak times and minimise risk of being seen. ideas? help? i dont want to be a barefooter, thats not what this is about.
Winter sucks, not a lot of opportunity for going barefoot. Try a pedicure. Nothing like some attractive woman tending to and checking out your bare feet. Trust me on this one, if you want to rid yourself of the shyness, it will diminish over time if you continue to practice baring your feet in front of others. As far as the the foot fetish part, you will just have to learn to live with it as I have. Not too much more anyone can suggest here.
hmm..this is a forum for barefooters, maybe you're in the wrong place. If you feel it's sexual and a fetish try the sex forum. See the posting 'stickies' - this is not a fetish forum. I understand that many barefooters also have a foot fetish, or some naturists have a hair fetish. However, this is not the forum in which to discuss those issues. The Real Kinky sub-forum of Love&Sex is a good place to discuss those topics Shayla x
