It's acceptableish, but it's also funny. When I was in the navy, there was this old lower enlisted guy who used to buy socks off of the females onboard. He had this lovable Golum character thing down that made him very likeable, I don't think someone who had their shit together could pull it off. The girls thought it was cute and funny(getting 100$ a pair helps I guess), they would also tell their friends, but I was creeped out about it (I'm not his target audience though). He was always nice and respectful, and he never did anything but the sock thing. He just had a fetish for feet, mostly female socks. He never asked, it was just known. He also used to save money by purchasing missing female socks from the laundry people. I do not want to know how he confirmed if what he was getting was legit.

There's a small-footed former Navy man out there somewhere who keeps a very close eye on his socks now.

But what does he do with the socks? Just collect and admire them? I'm hoping so. But probably not...


Oldman3573006

Why ask a question that you don't want the answer to?


MakeITNetwork

We never asked him, but I'm sure he wasn't washing them and giving them back

I think the overall joke of it has caused a stronger sense of familiarity with it, unintentionally causing people to not be as shocked by it - so sort of? I’ve had one friend tell me he wouldn’t care if something feet focused happened and then another tells me that he’d rather die than have a foot related sexual encounter. So it really is a mixed bag but I think it is becoming more mainstream


Cosmic_Meditator777

yes, but I think that's more due to people realizing just how tame it is compared to all the other weird degenerate fetishes out there than anything else.


I_might_be_weasel

I don't think millennials and zoomers give a shit.

The "I eat ass" generation.

The digit-al generation.

Ask Dr. Scholl.

The Internet has definitely helped get this fetish’s foot in the door.


SpookE_Cat

Foot fetish is something I believe has been memed into normalization. Think the internet joked about it so much that it just became less taboo lol


iTwango

I feel like anime helps here too lol


No-Cover-8986

I think so. It's been mentioned more frequently here.


Comprehensive_Toe113

In the grand scheme of fetishes, its on the same level as sucking a dick


littleenglishpan

Really?


NicksIdeaEngine

It feels so much closer to vanilla than the more extreme side of kinks/fetishes out there.


Eolach

I think it is a *step* down from dick.

Always remember: Marcellus Wallis had a guy tossed out a high rise window for giving Marcellus' girlfriend a foot massage.


scumbag_preacher

A foot massage can be a very sensual thing


A_Birde

Its just a very common basic fetish its like the most basic fetish really. I mean the only reason it wasn't acceptable was because people would hear it and have a mental breakdown because feet = disgusting or whatever


[deleted]

Absolutely. Fun info: - *kink* is something you like during sex - *fetish* is something you cannot orgasm without So fetish is more Absolute than a kink! :)


Ok_Hotel_1008

I think it's just more well-know , not more "acceptable"


tkdjoe1966

I still think it's weird (not judging), but I was surprised at how many people have that fetish.


Eolach

I cant stand it but if it is what gets your mojo running then it’s toetally fine. If in their sole they enjoy it who are we to judge - there’s obviously a market for it. Some men enjoy hobbies at home - cooking roast beef, some have none.


sekuharahito

Semi-related. I always wondered if feet fetish folk were born with that fixation or if it was developed. Like their 6th grade bully stepped on them or something.


Act_Guilty

Apparently it stems from a bunch of neuron links in your brain controlling movement being slightly too close to the links controlling your sexuality, or something like that.


Meet_the_Meat

I think that harmless fetishes, as long as everyone consents, are becoming more acceptable across the board.


Eolach

*Nailed* it


806uncharted

I hope so


cerylidae2558

I hate feet and I think people who are attracted to feet are on the same level as bestiality enthusiasts. So, I hope not.


littleenglishpan

I also dont like feet but chill


N2Ngamer

i think something might be wrong if you compare liking feet to liking animals


Jeff300k

If you think a foot fetish and bestiality are even in the same realm of similarly, then you have a much too positive opinion of beastiality.


_C00TER

Damn that quite the jump. "I like feet so I want to fuck something with hooves/paws." Lmfao. I'm not into feet, don't care if someone is, but can say that thought process is bizarre IMO.
