I know you probably already hate me for mentioning it, but foot fetishes. It's a very common fetish people have and I don't think people should be ashamed of it. It's not even the weirdest fetish out there when it comes down to it. I understand the stigma comes from weird dudes asking girls for feet pics in creepy ways and I feel like that's reasonable. But most of us are just regular people just trying to live our best life. I used to feel comfortable telling women I'm with that I have a foot fetish and most of them were even down to give it a try. Nowadays I'm too embarrassed or ashamed to even mention it and when I do I get shot down more often than before because of this stigma. I'm more comfortable these days telling someone that I'm bisexual than telling someone I like feet. Which I guess is a win for the gay part of me, but it still sucks.
ngl, having my toes sucked sounds good rn
See, you get it. :)
I'm not into that at all (tbh I find feet kinda disgusting) but I've never seen it as something really weird because it really isn't that weird.
I bet you eat ass with no complaint, and yet you call liking feet disgusting.
You should avoid judgemental sexual partners anyways. Foot fetishes are considered "weird" if that's how you phrase it. Generally speaking, it's not that uncommon. Don't open up with a partner about kinks unless you trust them not to run their mouth.
In that regard I definitely agree with you. It could even just be the people I associate with. If anything the people that have given me the most shit for it are other guys that I have as friends.
I spent some time explaining amputee fetish to my CW the other day (which is actually called body identity integrity disorder). I'm just glad there are people who like their limbs and appendages attached.
Lost a friend of 20 years over this. It wasn't exactly the last straw, but it was a HUGE fucking straw.
Made a comment to him about a passing woman wearing those thin strap gladiator sandals and he spent the next hour and a half telling me how disgusting I was.
For the record: he has also gone on to similar lengths of time describing to me how much he loves eating ass.
Fuck you Tom, and that's his real name because Fuck Tom.
