    I think it’s moreso that it’s a common fetish while still being in the odd category due to the fact that feet by themselves are just not sexual to most people. Like there are weirder sexual things that are about as common if not more common but have an explicit sexual element to it. To use clothing as a comparison it’d be like someone getting excited by someone in best up work clothes vs someone getting excited by lingerie.

      That makes sense.

      Yeah to me if people didn’t actually get off on feet I’d think it was a really clever absurd thing like someone having a back of ears fetish. But not only do people get off on feet, it’s downright common.

      And like therein lies the thing. It’s not only kinda weird that its as much of a thing as it is, it’s also a fetish with way less baggage or room to be understood by those without it than other common fetishes. Like, pain is visceral whether you like it ir hate it. Different body types are possessed by folks all around us. But feet, feels like someone who’s favorite part of the pizza is the crust.
