OKAY, I have never understood why people freak out about a feet kink. It's unusual sure, but far from the weirdest thing people are into. Mfs treat liking feet as if it's a snuff fetish.
I think that for some people they are uncomfortable with the idea that someone may be sexualizing a part of their body that is generally considered non-sexual.
During my university years there was a guy who was taking pictures of female students' feet without their knowledge in the library. Since feet aren't considered sexual, all the university could do was trespass him from the library. Had he been found with an SD card full of students' breasts, asses, or crotches, he probably would have been expelled or worse.
Like imagine if you found out that there was a group of people online who are aroused by the color blue so they share photos of women in blue dresses or driving blue cars or holding blue objects. You might be inclined to think twice about putting on your favorite blue sweater or whatever.
I feel silly now, I'm never thinking about guys being such utter freaks all the time. Makes perfect sense to be weirded out given this behaviour. It simply did not occur to me because this type of behaviour does not factor into my assessment of kink. Why would it? Who would do this? Do not do this.
Also I'm pretty sure there are groups of people online who do just that kind of stuff. Thinking back to a leddit thread about "unusual fetishes" and some guy said "women with clothes on", to which another replied " going outside must be a blast for you".
Generally, don't clothes fetishes refer to a specific type of clothes?
Yes, but the commenter was not specific. It was possibly a bit.
