>>28313227As another footfag who also finds tickling interesting, I think what makes it appealing for some is the ability to mix feet with BDSM elements, as another Anon said. You get all the fun of touching feet and watching them move about while also inflicting on someone something they don't like. Taking gratification in something that is usually deemed childish producing such a results and possibly even causing embarrassment on the part of the ticklee.
>>28319264While I'm no more of a fan of how submissives sometimes hijack foot discussions than you, the reasons they state for themselves are perfectly valid, granted it's arguable whether they have an actual attraction to feet or instead are more attracted to the foot doing something to them.
I should also point out that I don't think why people like feet is truly known. People bandy about the cross wire theory without realizing that they theory itself doesn't apply to foot fetishists out all since it approaches them as if they're getting pleasure from their feet, not that they get pleasure from seeing and interacting with another person's feet.
>>28319840Eh, they went overboard, but as a fellow footfag I can understand their frustrations. Some footfags just want to interact "normally" with feet or even sort of dominate via them in the case of those like myself. Thus it gets kind of annoying when every other discussion is about being degraded is various manners. Also likely up there is the people who are into the feet smelling absolutely disgusting.
