With all respect to those who have a fetish for this kind of stuff, as someone on the outside, it just strikes me as kind of corny. Like at least with most femdom, it's just your run-of-the-mill humiliation talk (e.g. "ew you like feet?") (which I have my own problems with but I digress). But with this financial domination stuff, the wording is just so goofy, like I just recently saw a post saying "gimme your lunch money", which I understand is leaning into the absurdity, but it's not too far off from a lot of what you see.

Another thing I find very corny, which is also present in general femdom content, is the whole making an L with your hand and saying "loser". It's just very 1980s bully behavior. I personally don't understand how that could get you going.

I'm wondering if there's anyone on here into that sort of thing, and I'd like to hear your perspective. (And again, no judgment, just my outsider's perspective)

Sex Play   
By Michael Toohey

Many sexual pleasures have remained hidden behind the doors of fear, ignorance, inexperience and hypocrisy for too long a time. In keeping with HUSTLER's belief that repression of natural, healthy urges is physically and emotionally damaging, we present this series of informative articles that will increase your sexual knowledge, lessen your inhibitions and—ultimately—make you a better lover.

There are people who might consider my wife, Cindy, a pervert. A foot freak, to be exact. Our medicine cabinet is crammed full of foot aids that bear witness to her perversion: metatarsal cushions, foot powder and corn plasters. Cindy walks around all day long on Dr. Scholl's Ajir-Pillo Insoles (which are like ben-wa balls to a foot freak) and soaks for hours on end in a solution of warm water and foot soap. She scrapes her calluses with a pumice stone, and she moans obscenely when her bare feet sink into a plush carpet. She paints her toenails. She corners me on the couch, plops her crimson-tipped tootsies in my lap and begs me for a massage. And she gets off on all of it.

If this behavior does not impress you as being particularly deviant, then you are as perverted as she—or as normal, depending on your perspective. The truth is that the foot is an erogenous zone that rivals the genitals in sensitivity. This applies to every one of us, whether we know it or not. Most of us don't know it—or won't admit it, even though the evidence may be overwhelming. If mommy ever sent chills up your spine during a rousing game of "This Little Piggy,” you know just how sensitive your feet can be. Basically, there is no logical reason why the feet should not be included in your Sex play.

Most of us have already experienced podoeroticism in various forms: in a game of footsie under the bridge table with your best friend's wife, or a foot-tickling bout that ended in a wild fuck. Often, contact with podoeroticism is too subtle to recognize. For example, you have probably been too preoccupied to notice whether your toes curl or spread during orgasm, but both reactions have been proven to be natural reflexes.

Americans are pitifully far behind the rest of the world in recognizing the sexual power of the foot and its erotic outer garment, the shoe. But in a number of European cities there are brothels that cater exclusively to foot lovers, William A. Rossi, a former podiatrist and the editor of two footwear publications, who wrote the book The Sex Life of the Foot and Shoe (Saturday Review Press, $12.95), visited one such establishment: The Palace of Pedic Pleasure in London. Rossi reported that the women who staff this house are experts in all forms of pedic lovemaking, both the active and the passive. They are selected for this specialized work by virtue of their smooth, well-formed feet and long, dexterous toes, which they wield like tongues to satisfy their customers. Those men who frequent ThePalace of Pedic Pleasure are not, as you might suspect, foot fetishists. Rather, they are men who enjoy a lot of variety in their sex lives, much like everybody else.

But to average Americans, pedic sex is depravity on a par with bestiality and necrophilia. Actually, toe sucking and sole licking are unique and tasty practices—like eating pussy. Usually, the feet are no more crusted with toe jam than the average pussy is caked with menstrual residue. And licking your lover's feet is neither physically harmful nor inherently disgusting—except perhaps in your own mind.

A narrow attitude regarding pedic sex has endured among Americans since the days of our Puritan forefathers. It has exhibited itself most blatantly in our imperialistic put-down of the ancient Chinese custom of foot-binding—a procedure in which a young girl's toes were bent back toward the heel, resulting in a sharply curved arch and tiny foot Known as the “lotus foot.” Tightly wrapping their feet with bandages and imprisoning them in confining shoes brought about the desired deformity, and even though the procedure took from four to six years and was very painful and crippling, it's estimated that for centuries 40 to 50 percent of all Chinese girls’ feet were bound, Among the upper classes in the cities, the incidence of foot-binding approached 100 percent.

You were probably taught in school that the lotus foot was a senseless cosmetic alteration, such as piercing or tattooing; but it was done with a specific purpose in mind: to make the foot fuckable. The ideal lotus foot was spongy and soft, and the cavelike arch made actual penetration possible. Foot fucking was so popular among Chinese men that women who lacked the lotus foot were frequently considered unfit for marriage. The lotus foot was also a mandatory prerequisite for all aspiring prostitutes.

The custom of foot-binding was so firmly entrenched in China that 19th century missionaries were loath to preach against it
out of fear that they would alienate the people. Eventually, however, the English and Americans who then regarded footbinding as a cruel and barbaric practice wielded enough influence to outlaw it, and in 1902 the first government of modern China banned foot-binding. But the millions of Chinese who enjoyed pedic sex were not about to give up their pleasure easily. Footbinding endured until as late as the mid 1930s, thus ending a practical form of birth control for the prolific Chinese.

A part of the body that appealed to millions of Chinese cannot accurately be called a fetish. But like any other good thing, foot love can be carried to extremes, and these extremes are usually what you think of when you hear the words foot fetish. As opposed to moderate pedic sex, foot fetishism implies a total and exclusive obsession with the foot, rather than involvement of the foot as one of many erogenous zones. Foot fetishism is frequently linked with masochism: a desire to be kicked, trod upon and otherwise humiliated beneath the foot. Nancy Sinatra referred to this pleasure when she sang the lyrics, “One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you”. 

Primarily, it is the masochist who enjoys licking and sucking sweaty, stinky feet. When I worked for Fetish Times, I received a letter from one man who serviced a half dozen females after their tennis tournament, cleansing their toes one at a time until he had ingested all the residue of their game. Afterward, one woman took him aside and masturbated him with her feet.

Letters from foot lovers comprised by far the bulk of all the kinky mail received al Fetish Times. However, despite the enormous audience that apparently exists for pedic porn, few publishers and manufacturers attempted to exploit it until recently. Women are now selling pictures of their feet through ads in underground sex tabloids, and a new bimonthly newsletter called “Foot and Shoe Lovers” has finally given foot aficionados a forum of their own.

Exactly how does one make love to a foot? A gentle massage is a good beginning. There are certain pressure points on the foot that, when massaged or otherwise stimulated, affect other, more remote parts of the body. For example, hemorrhoids, lower rectum and prostate troubles can supposedly be relieved by massaging the back of the ankle. In Eunice D. Ingham’'s book Stories the Feet Can Tell (Arrow Publishing Company, Rochester, New York), these pressure points are charted, and the procedure is explained in detail.

A vibrator is a useful toy for giving a foot massage, providing just enough stimulation without tickling. Hitachi, Inc., manufactures
a vibrator specifically for the feet, But this is a floor model that is of little use for other parts of the body. You might want to invest in a more versatile, hand-held model.

lf you massage the foot by hand, begin by squeezing laterally, working your way from the ball to the heel. Next, pull the toes one at a time, preferably until they pop. Then bend the toes back with one hand and run the knuckles of your other hand along the sole, pressing hard. When the entire foot is massaged, as opposed to a single area, you will experience an overall relaxation.

lf you're reluctant to get right down to toesucking, try a few light kisses. It does not take very much pressure to stimulate the sensitive nerves in the foot. The "69" position is ideal for mutual pedic sex, aligning not only head and foot but cock and cunt as well. Inserting the big toe into a cunt or asshole is another form of pedic sex enjoyed by many. Lesbians sometimes toefuck one another, as do male homosexuals. In Rajasthan, India, there is a painting that depicts a raja satisfying five women at once: one on his cock, one on either hand and two more astride his feet.

At a theater in Los Angeles in 1973, I viewed a short movie by Randal Kleiser entitled Foot Fetish that featured a pair of tennis shoes, one a man’s pair, the other a woman's pair, fucking. The shoes stroked one another with their laces, kissed long and hard with their tongues and finally copulated vigorously. The film ended with the female shoes’ giving birth to a baby ''PF’ Flyer. It was a comedy, to be sure, but it had an underlying ring of truth—that the shoe is essentially a very sexual article of apparel. 

Shoes can play an important part in one's sexual attractiveness. For instance, high heels force the back to arch slightly and the buttocks to protrude, as if the woman is poised to take it from the rear. Platforms and clogs cause her to walk in short, choppy steps, in the same way the lotus foot restricted a woman's gait. Open toes and heels hint at nudity the way backless dresses and see-through blouses do. The fact that shoes are usually made of leather is also significant. Leather apparel! has long been associated with sex.

(Some psychiatrists assert that a foot entering a shoe is symbolic of a cock entering a cunt. Writer Charles Bukowski went the psychiatrists one better by literally fucking the shoe of a departed lover [an incident that appears in The Big Dape Reading, this month's HUSTLER fiction], showing that— in his case at least—the shoe can not only be a symbol of a cunt but of a cunt itself.)

About 600 years ago, a shoe called the Cracow caused a stir in Western Europe, and it eventually came to be known as the most erotic shoe ever developed. It had a pointed toe that extended up to eight inches, and it often had to be stuffed to keep its erect shape. The Cracow endured until the 15th century when Edward IV of England limited toe length of shoes to two inches.

There are many other ornaments and preparations available for the feet besides shoes. The Custom Shoe Company of Van Nuys, California, has published a catalog featuring foot jewelry, in addition to a wide assortment of spike heels and boots. Ankle bracelets and toe rings are popular items among women interested in accentuating the sex appeal of their feet. In recent years, podocosmetics have been appearing on the market to supplement the classic procedure of painting toenails. Pretty Feet, a lotion designed to soften and condition feet, has mounted an enormously successful advertising campaign in the hope of heightening the American woman's consciousness of her feet. And deodorants designed to camouflage the natural odor of the feet are available at any drugstore— assuming, of course, you find the natural odor distasteful.

The erotic lure of the foot and shoe is undeniable, as my wife, Cindy, has proved time and again. Now it remains for you to prove it to yourself and find out firsthand that the way to your lover's heart is through the soles.

Has anyone purchased worn shoes or socks from allthingsworn? If so, what was your experience and would you recommend any particular sellers? Feel free to describe any of the scents in detail.

I am a wlw trans woman with a big foot fetish. It always seems to me as though the majority of foot fetishists on the internet are straight men, and lurking on this subreddit for many years I have continued to think that.

Most of the foot content I see is made for a straight male audience which makes sense as they make up a majority, so seeing foot fetishists who don't fit that group is always fun, like finding a rare pokemon lol.
