I have to agree with this one. I acknowledge that feet are indeed connected to genitalia via nerves, but I highly, highly doubt that’s the reason that viewing a woman’s bare feet makes some men horny. I don’t think the foot fetish is about her and/or her nerves or pleasure at all. It’s a simple matter of getting to see an often delicate looking body part that is usually concealed, and being allowed to interact with them in a sexual way. I’m more of a butt/thighs/hips guy, myself.
There are so many unique things that arouse people. You know that rule that there’s a fetish for everything. I strongly suspect it’s a human wiring issue, some related evolutionary advantage that manifests as having things for feet, or hair colors, or freckles or untold less socially acceptable things.
how heteronormative and male centric. what about women who like male feet? what about queer people who like feet?

That’s really not how it works. Sure, there may be some of that, but it’s not a “simple matter” as you described at all. There’s much, much more to it than that.
That was your takeaway? That I wasn’t inclusive in who potentially finds the feet arousing? Plug in whatever you would like. I’m not making fucking rules here.
Not so much that you weren’t inclusive. More that society at large isn’t. You didn’t deserve the ire I directed at you but the ire is still there.
So much default assumption that anything foot fetish related has to be only men being into only women’s feet. It drives me crazy. Not your fault and I apologize for the snark.

I agree with you both; it’s the most logical explanation. See also: cultures that don’t revere womens’ breasts (likely) since they’re never covered.

No harm done. I really appreciate the pleasant response.
