ORIGINAL: Spar I'm curious why it is pleasing to the person being worshipped. I've had dominant fantasies, but I could never see myself getting off on my feet being kissed or licked. But from the other side of the D/s dynamic .......Could a dominant feet fetishist step in? Guess that would be me. Although I pointedly do not refer to it as foot worship, as I'm a fairly religious person and consider the worship of anything physical to be idolatry. First off, there's the mental/symbolic aspect and all the history behind it. It's been used as a means of prostrating oneself for ages, and kind of involves showing deep appreciation even for the "lowest" (depending on cultural context) part of the Dom. As Samwhiplash says, it's a power rush, although that's not the whole story about the mental side of things. Secondly, it feels good, physically. The feet have a fairly high density of nerve endings, even in men, so even if women are more sensitive to touch in general, the feet are one of the few areas of the body where a man can enjoy physical touch as much as the woman. Done right, it can be almost as physically pleasurable as penile stimulation of the same kind; I would guess this can be the same for women, as the glans and clitoris are derived from the same tissue and nerve endings. As someone pointed out, it's hard to get wrong, although nephandi has demonstrated that practice still makes perfect. As for foot rubs, I don't know. That doesn't seem to do anything for me. A pedicure might look good, but it takes a fair bit of time and it's not something I'm into by itself, so we don't do that. If I want one, I'll go to a salon that takes men instead. If I were to bottom for someone, I'd be bored by these parts, except for the kissing/licking/massaging, although I'd do them. And personally, I get nauseated by the smell of nail polish, so that part would be best left out unless one wants their feet subjected to a Roman Shower.
