Intense childhood experiences with the feet of other relatives, like older sisters or cousins, as well as friends and, most notoriously, babysitters, may also lead one to become a foot lover. You could do worse. Whenever we feel that something we crave sexually is shameful or wrong, it becomes ultra-exciting in a naughty way. But it also becomes frustrating and disturbing, as we can't integrate it into our everyday lives. Ultimately, it makes us feel bad about ourselves, sometimes even incapable of love.
Most sex criminals have desires they feel ashamed of.
So many male foot fetishists are married to women with whom they never share their desire, ashamed to reveal their true feelings. And the real shame is that some of those wives would enjoy a foot rub or foot licking, if it's presented nicely. But their husbands view their own interest in feet as something perverted that they couldn't possibly share with someone they love. If you have a foot fetish, I hope you can share it with someone you love. Just find creative and sensuous ways to integrate your favorite forms of foot play into your lovemaking.
