I am NOT a foot fetishist and have found that within the barefoot community there seem to be many. I don't have a problem with foot fetishism and have dated guys who are foot fetishists, I know it's common, but has anyone else been hassled as a result? I have had many foot fetishists send me obscene messages, etc. without even an introduction and have generally been very rude, which is why I can't post pics of my feet anywhere anymore. Anyone else had this issue or if you're on the other side... why the rudeness?? Please note like I said... I don't have any problem with foot fetishists... I have just met many rude ones as a result of discussing barefooting online!
I really don't know the answer to this question, but I do have a foot fetish and a rather massive one at that. I"m the kind of guy that wouldn't do something like that, in fact I'm a real gentleman. Sorry to hear about your dilema.
Unfortunately I have to agree with the OP. I am a near full-time barefoot female. I have been hassled online and even in the street by feet obsessed men. It's not that I'm against sexual freedom, infact I'm very pro. It's just that some people can be a little tactless. It's just one of those things we've got to put up with for being liberated, TBH I just ignore the stuff I don't like. You've got to accept it as part of one of the downsides to opening yourself up on forums like this
Unfortunatly I Can't Help With The Men In The Street Issue, But Hip Forums Has An "Ignore" Option, Whereby You Can Block A Member From Contacting You. Hope This Helps... Cheers Glen.
People, because they ARE people, sexualize everything about the body. People, because they ARE people, can be stunningly rude. Once in a while you get a Michelangelo, a Faulkner (who LOVED going barefoot---just to keep this post relevant), a Margaret Drabble... But THEY are people, too. Good luck with that....
Well, I like living barefoot, and I like seeing other people going barefoot. But I sure as hell don't do that foot worship/toe sucking thing that some people like to do. IMHO that's what foot fetish means. If you're not doing stuff like that then IMHO it's not a fetish. And if I saw someone else barefoot I might say "cool, barefoot is best!" but not much else.
I'm just curious about how overt people can be. I mean, when I wear thigh-high stockings or something, men don't walk up and say, "Oh, I wish I could just rub your legs in those stockings." But for some reason people think it's okay to say they want to touch my feet or whatever. Like I said.... anyone can dig what they want. I just don't get why people are rude about it. At least buy me a drink first.
we are a rather troubled group : comments, looks, ghost health codes, NSNSNS signs, blame from mates and relatives, school rules, work dress codes, madmen yelling at us down the streets, police noticing suspect behavior, now even the foot fetish weirdos etero, bi and gay harassing us... WTF !! the world just won't leave us alone ! this is INSANE !
But it's mainly the woman who are harassed by fetishists. I've never met anyone who wanted to lick my feet haha.
Hmmm, asking about barefeet or if one can touch them is rude? And that makes it a foot fetish. Didn't know that.
I'm a guy and I've had guys message me about it. I'm a barefooter and like to chat about it and meet other barefooters. I have a foot fetish but I'm respectful when it comes to being around others and talking a out a fetish or lifestyle. Keep up the good work and stay barefoot don't let some rude people get to you.
Well, since it's also mainly women being turned into objects of sexual desire by the "sex sells" mainstream world of advertizing, fashion and erotica, that's to be expected. Furthermore, men are more straightforward in voicing their desires (and sometimes rude, too, as has been told in this thread several times already). It'd be all so much easier for human beings to deal with each other, if sexualizing the body, be it clothed or nude, or body parts, like breasts, feet, beautifully shaped butts would stop. I don't mean to stop praising the beauty of people's bodies - quite on the contrary. And I'm not against sex and enjoying bodies talking to each other. Very much on the contrary. But the in-your-face approach of mainstream "sexy" images should be replaced by depicting and perceiving human beings and their bodies (including bare feet) in a more artful, natural as well as respectful way. Oh, I've been contacted via internet by several gay male foot fetishists... and I fondly remember the e-mail exchnage I had with one man in my college days. He wrote me, praising my bravery for walking barefoot everywhere, for my choice of "strange" outfits, for being a naturist despite having a body shape beyond any beauty ideal, and then he casually admitted that he's gay as well as having a foot fetish and that I am one of his dream men, currently. He did so in a witty and sweet way, and not rudely at all. I replied him by telling him that he's very brave to come out to me like that, that I like his sense of humor as well as his straightforward, yet polite openness about body and sex issues, and even though I'm turned on by a person as a whole, welcomed him to enjoy the images of my bare feet and weirdly-clothed hippie body, which I already had on my web page back then (mid 1990s). His second mail to me then contained very steamy fantasies of what he'd like to do with me and my feet... but again, not rude, but written in a creative and sweet way. It sounded more like a collection of erotic short stories than mere e-mail exchange. Had we ever met in person, we would have had a great time... and I don't mean (just) in bed. You see, not all foot lovers are slobbering perverts... some may be, but the ones I've come across (by internet only, not in person as yet) have been polite and most often witty, too. Wiggling bare toes (like what ya see?) ~*Ganesha*~
