Couples Therapy - Part 5

TONY: -Well… I’ve always had a foot fetish. I don’t know why, but I find feet very sexy. I like massaging them, kissing them, licking them… And Emma loves having her feet rubbed and kissed. So, at least in this particular aspect, we are very compatible.

EMMA: -Yes… I don’t know if it’s weird, but my feet are one of my most erogenous zones. Sometimes, we are watching TV and Tony starts massaging my feet, and… gosh… it turns me on so quickly. It’s like my On/Off button… Seriously, after a few minutes of having my feet rubbed I get all… well, you know…

CASALI: -Our feet are indeed a very important erogenous zone. They have many nerve endings that send messages to our brains. The sensation of pleasure goes from your feet to your brain and from there to your sex organs. It’s absolutely natural.

<<As for the attraction towards feet, it’s very common. There are two main reasons for people to find feet sexually exciting. The first one is just cultural: we normally wear shoes, so our feet are rarely exposed in public. Because of this, and despite not being a part of the body directly related to sex, bare feet are subconsciously perceived as a kind of softcore nudity. The second one is more of a biological reaction: feet transpire lots of pheromones. The smell of those pheromones is known to induce sexual desire in the human brain.

<<Xavier and Monique, you too have experience with foot rubbing as foreplay before sex, haven’t you?

MONIQUE: -Yes. In our case, it started more or less by accident. I am a waitress, so I spend most of the day standing, and my feet are normally very tired when we arrive home. Sometimes, Xavier gave me a foot massage when my feet were sore. And we discovered that we both found it arousing. To me, there’s a blurry line between the sensation of pleasure that I have by relieving the soreness after a long day working, and more erotic types of pleasure…

XAVIER: -And I love it because she has such beautiful feet. Plus, she takes good care of them. She has a pedicure regularly, and always has a nice nail polish, so they look super cute. Actually, they are one of my favorite parts of her body…

CASALI: -Factors like nail polishing, or sometimes certain types of shoes, add to the erotic value of female feet. It's the most purely fetishistic aspect to it. Tobias and Johanna, you told me that you have never tried any kind of foot play. How come?

TOBIAS: -Honestly? I do think her feet are sexy, but was a bit hesitant to do anything with them…

JOHANNA: -Oh, my god, why didn’t you tell me?

TOBIAS: -Well, this might sound silly, but I had an embarrassing experience related to feet, years ago.

CASALI: -What happened?
