Foot fetishism
- This article is part of the SM-201 Macropedia
- This an overview of foot fetishism and its' associated fetishes
Sight, smell (olfactophilia) and/or touch (hyphephilia) may play a key role in the attraction to the object but there is no agreement as yet to the exact aetiology of fetishism. These behaviors are often cloaked in shame and guilt and it is unlikely many people would encourage conversation about their particular interests. Many experts to believe fetishism and retifism are phenomena of post-industrial society, but anecdotal information of foot binding in the orient would dispel this myth.
Note: While ingestion of small quantities of boot polish is harmless, boot lickers do run a small risk of contracting amoebic bacterial and possibly other infections from street dirt. This is increased when the soles are licked. See also [ Scope of foot fetishism ]
