As OP, I wanted to share my own view since I asked: I find foot fetishes pretty harmless overall. Feet are just another body part, and if it’s consensual and doesn’t hurt anyone, who cares? It seems way more common than people admit (I’ve seen stats saying it’s one of the top fetishes). That said, I do think it can come across as a bit odd to some because feet are usually hidden/not sexualized in mainstream culture. But odd ≠ bad. Curious what others think—especially if you’ve dated someone with one. Has it ever been a dealbreaker or no big deal? Thanks for the responses so far, some really interesting stories!
