Should I tell my girlfriend that I get aroused by my own feet?

Asked by jack1970 (13points) May 10th, 2010

I have a foot fetish, which I know is perfectly normal, but I also have a fetish for my own feet. I love looking at them and touching them and try to stay barefoot as much as possible. I enjoy the same things that other people who go barefoot in public do—comfort, closer to nature, a little rebellious, the senses one experiences—but I also do it because it arouses me. I also like the idea that people are seeing my feet and I try to show them off as much as possible, especially my soles. I also “enjoy” myself while looking at them in a mirror or at photos of them.

That depends rather largely on how old both of you are, how long you two have been together, and if you are asking her to incorporate them into your sex life.

One would hope that one could be as intimately expressive with a girlfriend as one can be with a group of strangers on a virtual question machine.

Go ahead but don’t be surprised if she starts to rethink all the times the two of you have been naked/barefoot together and you’ve gotten “aroused” that it’s been more about you than getting turned on by her.

You should be able to share that kind of stuff with a partner.

It just depends on your relationship with your girlfriend. My husband and I are very open with our fetishes and fantasies and have been for quite a while now. In the beginning though, it’s about getting to know each other and learning what you both enjoy. I’d recommend starting slowly when introducing any fetish into any relationship when you don’t know how your SO will feel about it. Have the two of you ever talked about fantasies and fetishes before? How do you think she will react to it?

Since Jellies don’t have feet, nothing that has anything to do with feet is considered normal here. Relationships can only flourish and survive when both partners are open and honest about themselves. Let her know and let the chips fall where they may.

I hope you don’t expect her to… I can’t even think about it. I believe the term is “shrimping”.(shudders)

Ha! It actually must be nice to always have the object of your affection so close at hand… er, under foot, as it were. Neat. I would say if your relationship is casual and you are just dating for fun, keep it to yourself. No need to risk that she might betray your trust and broadcast something potentially embarrassing broad and wide. If, however, you guys get serious, by all means let her know. It would be most unfair to move from serious dating to marriage, only to have her find out then. And if the two of you are as close as marriage requires, she will find out.

It depends on the type of gal she is and how close you are to her.
If you aren’t that close. . . Well, I suggest you keep it to yourself, sir.

I can think of a position or two where you might be able to enjoy your girlfriend WHILE you admired your own feet and she would never have to know . . . . actually, she might think something else altogether, forget I mentioned it . . .

No, she’ll think you might be gay and leave you!

If you are trying to get rid of her.

Do you even need a girlfriend if you get aroused by your own feet? :)

It sounds like you’re into voyeurism and you have a foot fetish. So it’s not exactly like it’s your own feet turning you on, it’s the idea of your bare feet being out there for the world to see, and all the sensations of being barefoot. This is just like the way a voyeur might get turned on by their own naked body, but it’s kind of localized around your feet. These are two pretty common fetishes, so it’s not too surprising that they’d be combined in this way. Not everyone will be open minded enough to deal with it, but hopefully if your girlfriend has any kinks you can deal with it gracefully, too. You should read Savage Love- he has a lot to say about being accepting and giving towards your partner, even if they’e into something a little weird. If you discuss this with her, you should ask about her wants and needs, too.

I suspect thats one little gem you should keep to urself.

I have the EXACT situation as yourself.
I too have a fetish about my own feet, am 32 & have a girlfriend of 5 years whom I have not told. In fact I have not told anyone ever about it as Im too embarrassed as to how they would react to behavior so against the norm. This is the first time Ive ever communicated my fetish to anyone in any form..
The fact that I time & again get complimented by women, including my girlfriend, on how ‘beautiful’ my feet is does not help much either. As you put it I also often ‘enjoy’ myself while either looking at them in various positions directly, through photo’s or a mirror.
Still not sure if my feet & this fetish is a blessing or curse..
