What is foot fetish?

Foot fetish is a type of paraphilia. A paraphilia is a "pattern of sexual behavior" that "requires unusual objects, rituals, or situations for full sexual satisfaction." Some individuals with more serious paraphilias may need 4 to 10 orgasms a day. Despite being different from the average person, not all individuals with sexual deviations desire to change their sexual preferences. Fetish is a sexual perversion of foot fetish-foot rhyme culture.

In one case, people with this fetish have sexual interests in "certain inanimate objects." People with foot fetishes are usually men, so female foot fetishists are quite rare. People with stronger fetishes may resort to stealing or even violence to obtain what they want.

As mentioned earlier, some foot fetishists gain pleasure from being trampled on by others, so some foot fetishists also have masochistic personalities. Masochists obtain sexual pleasure through humiliation and inflicting pain (whipping, trampling, slapping, etc.). These humiliations or harms are usually set within a certain range, and if these activities cross the line, serious injury or even death may result. For example, there is a form of masochism called autoerotic asphyxiation, which involves strangling oneself to achieve the effect of suffocation. It has led to the deaths of many masochists in the United States.

Professor Wang from the School of History and Culture of Shandong University said that foot fetishism, in a broad sense, refers to human beings' special fascination with the feet, shoes and socks of the opposite or same sex, and specifically refers to men's fascination with women's feet.
