>>61092226To me, it's like a display of innocence and trust. Imagine a girl who is freely frolicking in a grass field or relaxing her legs in her bed. It's not as crass as displaying chest or genitals out in the open, but it's still a body part that's usually hidden. Then you gotta understand just how appealing it is to look at. The curvature, the nice way girls maintain them despite the fact they're usually dirty from use, and the way they react to emotions. They curl when a girl feels orgasms, they stretch to ease tension, and they twiddle when the girl is nervous. It's just adorable dammit.
I do think the whole, smelly feet, or in your face feet, or stepping thing can be a bit much but every fetish has that.
