‘It was recently when my partner and I were fooling around on a Saturday night. He is generally quite perceptive in bed and keeps on asking and checking what I want and if I’m feeling good from time to time. So, I told him to go down on me after we were into it for a while and he just asked if it was okay to go even more down first. I was confused at first but understood that he wanted to mix it up with the feet this time. I agreed at the moment and it felt weirdly satisfying. Does my partner have a Foot Fetish now?’
It’s great that you have the space to discuss your individual needs and wants while in bed. Thanks to that, you got to know about your partner’s new found interest- Feet.

Agreed, feet are not the first thing you think of when you think about things that turn you on, but for people, feet do the trick, good for them! Read on to know more about Foot Fetish so that you are prepared to give your partner a good time.
What is a Foot Fetish?
Basically, Foot Fetish is when a person feels so strongly sexualised by looking at or feeling someone’s feet that it becomes a stimulating turn-on for them.

Getting into the whys of it, there can never really be an answer to why someone finds something a turn-on because just anything can be a turn-on for a person. The reasons may vary from the aesthetics of someone’s feet to a Humiliation aspect since Feet are considered dirty and filthy.

As their partners, you can give it a try and see if you gradually get the obsession and give in. Even if not, you can communicate to your partner and back out. Here are three good reasons to give Foot Fetish a chance:
- As discussed, feet aren’t the first things you think of incorporating during sex. So, it adds an element of novelty and surprise in the whole experience. As you get to know more about it and find your way through the Sexual Foot Fetish, it can be a gratifying adventure.

Ways to Enjoy Foot Fetish
A Foot Fetish daily can gradually become a routine thing for you and your partner even when you might not do anything else. There are a few ways you can amplify the experience. Read the following popular Foot play activities to make Foot Fetish fun:
Keep it Clean
A basic prerequisite is generally to keep the feet clean and hygienic for the best experience. Unless of course, your partner is a Dirty Foot Fetishist. A rough nail or anything unhygienic should be regularly taken care of while indulging in your partner’s Foot Fetish to avoid any kinds of risks post foot play.
A Feet Foreplay
To tease your partner, you could just slide your feet up your partner’s calves under the dinner table. Turn them on by using your feet on the legs or on their feet. You could also use them to rub your partner’s crotch until you both can get to business finally.
Play Around with Your Hands
Using your hands to worship your partner’s feet can be a great way to start off. You can begin by massaging their feet which will inevitably relax them a bit before you get into the more tiring parts of it. It also gives a playful ticklish sensation which spices it up even more. Use your fingers to play with the toes and glide through them erotically. See if your partner seems to like it and get more instinctive. You can also use Foot Fetish toys or just the usual vibrators etc to increase stimulation.
Get to the Foot Job
Foot Job is the feet version of hand play or oral sex, where you use your feet while stroking or stimulating your partner’s genitals. There is a wide play area from there in the sense that you can rub, stroke, feel using either one or both your feet, as you please. For vulva-owners, you can get your feet up there and tease penetration or just rub around the area to intensify the climax. One thing to keep in mind is to use a good quality lubricant to avoid discomfort or chaffing from all the friction.
Try Licking or Sucking the Feet
Going up the Foot Fetish ladder, you can start using your mouth in foot play by licking the bottom of the feet or sucking on the toes. Toe play can also be a specific turn on to your partner so you can focus more on using the toes if that is the case. Make sure to take care of hygiene and don’t go down there licking dirty feet to avoid any infections and allergies. For the feet pros, penetration can be the final step leading to climax but that is totally up to you to decide and discover.
