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?
