Feet from a Fetish p.o.v.?

One of the joys of this place, for me, is that these stories give me insight into how people find pleasure in doing things that might bore or turn me off. I like that. I like getting into other people's heads, under their skin. I like to understand what I might not otherwise be able to understand. And I though I may never agree with some people's tastes, I like to be able to say, "Ah, I see how that could turn someone on." A good erotic story can do that. It can get a person into another person's body, feeling what they're feeling, like no other fiction on earth.

I was a bit disappointed, however, when I started taking a gander at stories of foot fetish folk. Granted, erotic stories are wish fulfilment...but most of the foot fetish ones seem to go like this: Beautiful woman sees man; finds out he has foot fetish and grants him his wish to indulge it (and, of course, they are both turned on and satisfied).

The p.o.v. is all from the woman's perspective. That really doesn't help me to understand the eroticism of feet--which, frankly, mystifies me. So here's my question: Is there a story from the perspective of the guy with the fetish? And I don't mean just any story--I mean one which can hint to me what this person is feeling, sensing--the whys and wherefores of the fetish? I'm new to Literotica and I haven't, certainly read that many stories, so perhaps I missed that story or haven't gotten to it yet.

If, however, there isn't such a story...might I propose it as a story idea?
 
I love feet. Just love em. But find them really hard to write about, and as a reader, find few capture the experience clearly.

What do YOU think would be a better improvement on the erotica? Do you personally enjoy foot jobs. (First time a man wanted me to do it I was kind of surprised and thought "whatever"... lol It amazed me, after that, at how many men I could get off that way. And, KNOWING there is a fetish for "anything" out there, I knew my cum stained toes would make for a popular picture! :eek:)

isn't "better improvement repetitively redundant?

If I knew how to write it, I would, at least working it into another story. But off hand don't think it appears anywhere. Hmmmm.

I like foot jobs, but like giving foot rubs more....a great part of foreplay. Then sucking of course :devil: :kiss:

I do like having my toes sucked on. :eek: And/or my feet bitten even! :eek:

I dunno. I have that problem too. :( I can come up with a million good ideas for a story, or something that sounds like a catchy title...I can even think up a very detailed outline...but then I have trouble "filling the story in". :( And, often times, to me, it sounds boring.

*sigh*

*sigh*

It esp annoys me when its a sexual behaviour that I know and love.

so howcum when I try to write it, it goes flat and boring????

Hey, sirhugs! I'm so glad you wrote in. I wanted someone who knew of what the spoke to tell me I wasn't totally crazy. That these stories were lacking something. I think there are several problems--reasons why the stories fall flat. First, folk writing about genitila have it easy. They have code words and even someone with different equiptment has felt similar sensations. When a penis throbs, a woman can imagine that throb in her genitila, and when a woman gets wet, a man can imagine the dribble of pre-cum, etc. The excitement and sensations are familiar. As are smells, tastes.

But the problem with describing the foot is that it's a little distant from those organs. And it doesn't give the same immediate reactions to stimilation. The toes don't stiffen and get pebbly like nipples, they don't get wet, they don't throb, engorge, etc. So, you, poor writer, you have a rough job. The lady recieving the attentions may moan and hum during a foot massage, but the foot itself...does it give any hints or clues that the person is sexually arroused? Clues that arrouse the foot sucker as sex organs will arouse most folk who suck on such organs?

The other problem, from the stories I've read, is that they don't seem to take the time to get the reader into the character. If you're doing a quick erotic wam-bang-thank-you-man (or ma'am) story, you've got that short-hand and get get away with just describing the mechanics of who does what, how the organs throb, etc., and how both parties moan, gasp and orgasm. But with something like the foot, I think the writer needs to go a little farther.

If you want to make the reader feel what a foot man feels, you have to get them into that man's head, and that doesn't just mean the part that gets aroused by feet. It means taking the reader by the hand and pointing out that childhood or teenaged moment when feet became associated with sex; it means letting them see through the character's eyes why feet are such an alluring part of the body; it means tossing into such a story the frustrations and problems with partners who aren't understanding. And then...then once you have the reader inside the character, identifying with them, then let us in on the real secrets.

Like taste, texture, the reactions from a massage that stimilate, and the promise that the foot will lead you up to that other promised land. (Side note: that, by the way, I can understand, if feet symbolize the first step--pun intended--on up to heaven. But as I understand, there are guys who never go any higher. Am I right about that? Or do you think most such erotica--involving feet--should lead upward?). By the way, why do you think foot fetish folk are overwhelmingly heterosexual men (I assume they are, am I wrong?)? Have you any thoughts on that?

By the by--here's a story idea. Just tossing it out there for anyone to pick up or not: We know that people find sucking or having their fingers sucked erotic. But fingers are far more dexterous than toes. Put a finger in someone's mouth and they can touch you back, as it were. Would someone with a foot fetish find it even more arousing if they met one of those people who are as dexterous with their toes as they are with their hands? Or is it important to someone with such a fetish that the toes be...docile?

I hope I'm not putting you off with all this. My motto is that if you ask enough questions, and talk through your thoughts on the subject, eventually, a light will come on and you'll have the answer.

I find that feet, esp toes, do react, butthe reaction is unique, and difficult to capture in words, because, as you say, the stanndard sexually vocabulary seems ill fitted. I find that a well sucked toe wil throb in my mouth however. The bigger issiue is how to describe the sensation thsaat this creates. In my case, the throb, plus the moans of an appreciative "victim" will run directly like an electric current to my groin. Butt wil the reading audience, even a pre selected fetish audience, buy it?

The flexing and curling if toes, the clench of the arch, the curving of the instep- all of this I am aware of as I play, but describing it more than superficially is elusive. The licked and massaged flesh doesrespond warm, and fill with blood.

I think a fetish story may just stop at the feet. I expect lesbian foot fetishs are out there - I have read a few stories like that- but have no insights on gay male behaviour.

For me docileness is not necessary, not at all.

That's why I don't write my own personal experiences into stories. To me, it sounds boring writing a "play by play".

I do, however, take my life's experience and knowledge into a story I write. (Having that attention for detail I hate writing about things I don't know!)

I tend to "blow up" from reality to how I imagine it could be better. Many of my stories are based on actual incidents where there was no sex except in my brain.

Actually, I think the above description is pretty darn good! You may be being too hard on yourself because words can't ever quite equal any sexual experience--just mirror it. The above certainly brings me a lot closer to feeling it than most of the stories I've read so far. I think if you took the above and expanded on it with the right adjectives, you could come as close as words can come to mimicing the experience. Or, at least, making us non-foot-fetish folk understand the allure and experience.

And now I'm wondering about a story of a foot fetish guy who meets a girl who uses her toes as much as her hands to do things. Did you ever see that Wes Anderson movie, *The Royal Tannenbaums*? There's a marvelous scene with Gwyenth Paltrow where she's sitting on the edge of a bathtub and she does just about everything with her toes--changes the channel on a television, turns a door lock, etc. I rather imagine that scene not only got most men interested (she is in a tight dress), but probably had a few foot men sitting up and taking notice.

Certain adjectives are excellent for erotica because they sound erotic and elicit erotic feelings via association. For example, adjectives involving warm or hot (cold isnt' erotic unless it involves an ice cube), adjectives involving smoothness or silkiness (correct in this case as I assume you want smooth silky feet, not rough ones. If this was female erotica and it was a man's hands we might go for roughness). Weight adjectives might also help in this instance as our foot man is holding said foot--I assume a foot that's feather light is preferable to one that is weighty? The opposite of what a man might want in a breast or a woman in a penis they're handling.

And don't forget taste and smell adjectives like pungent, sweet, tart (not sour!), etc.

Pink is an erotic adjective--in fact, anything coming close to that color will arouse.

Adjectives having to do with playfulness such as teasingly and toyingly will always stir the loins. As will flirtatious. Or are those adverbs?

Does that help in getting the creative juices flowing (sic)?
