SPEAKING OF FEET

Think the foot is hot? You're not alone.
Renowned sex expert Havelock Ellis wrote, "Of all the forms of erotic symbolism, the most frequent is that which idealizes the foot. ... It would seem that even for the normal lover, the foot is one of the most attractive parts of the body." Got that right, Havelock. There are 60 more feet pictures in our Premium Member galleries.
The foot is a major erogenous zone, as many of us know, er, first-hand. Rich in pleasure-producing nerves, the soles and toes are, as Dr. Alfred Kinsey pointed out, "areas which may be erotically sensitive under tactile stimulation." Think Body Shop Peppermint Foot Lotion. But, more than that, the foot is also a well-known phallic symbol, a stand-in for the dick. No wonder that foot play, as foreplay or as the Main Event, is sexy for so many guys.
There's stroking, there's tickling, there's even foot bondage. But the most popular form of foot play involves, just like oral sex, the meeting of the erotic object and the hungry mouth. Lots of guys, if truth be told, really get off on kissing, licking, and sucking on another man's foot. And those of us who've been on the receiving end know just how pleasurable having one's toes sucked can be.

Because of the lowly position of the foot in the day-to-day world, servicing it can be seen as a form of submission, and many a bondage-and-discipline scene incorporates foot worship.

But hey, as in most matters sexual, the opposite can also be the case. Stripping off the shoe and sock, getting one's hands on the five-toed fella, playing with the pretty thing... it can easily be a power trip.

There's also the powerful meeting of foot and dick. While rubbing your feet all over a partner's body can be fun for all concerned, jacking him off with your sole can be truly special. Not to mention dipping a carefully manicured toe into where the sun don't shine.....

As in most matters sexual, foot play has its own specialists, organizations, and porn. Yes, there are foot size-queens, while others go for the aesthetic, preferring the beautiful foot to the merely big. And, because the combination of foot sweat and bacteria can produce some mighty potent odours, some guys really get off on the smells, from mild to truly ripe. (The foot, after all, harbours the same sort of bacteria responsible for blue cheese.) The more fastidious among us, meanwhile, prefer their feet newly washed and gleaming.

Many of the larger cities have ongoing foot-play parties, where like-minded men can get together for a game of "this little piggy." While genital sex may be on the menu at these shindigs, often the play is confined to feet; the sight of pile of guys licking, sniffing, and sucking can, depending on one's bent, seem either totally ridiculous or an instant erection-producer.

Unfortunately, my favourite foot-play magazine, with its well-endowed cover boys thrusting their size 12s at the camera, is no longer published. But there's plenty of foot porn out there. Thanks, too, to the Web, it's easy to find foot fetish pics, and only a bit harder to locate someone who shares a yearning for feet.

As with any fetish, foot worship can seem just plain silly to those of us not into it. But no less an authority than Leonardo DaVinci called the human foot "a work of art." So maybe someone was sucking on the Mona Lisa's toes?
