"People with bizarre little fetishes such as this one frequently go on to develop even nastier ones. "
Foot fetishes seem to be so common? For the life of me I don't understand what the fascination is? Feet are gross, dirty, nasty, icky. I think I must have the opposite of a foot fetish, whatever that is?
foot fobia?
Who knows? My wife has beautiful feet, but damned if I'm going to obsess over them. I think it's the same for any other body part. The fetishist reduces it to the status of an object.
