We recently talked about foot fetishes in this blog. Compared to some of the activities people engage in for sexual gratification, toes are pretty tame!

What are some of the more unusual fetishes?

• Balloon fetishists, called Looners, are sexually stimulated by balloons. Some enjoy inflating or popping them, while others enjoy the look, colors, smell, sound movement or the tactile sensations, comparing it to skin.
• Introduced to the mainstream recently by the viral video, Two Girls, One Cup, Coprophilia is a fetish involving sexual pleasure from feces—rubbing it on oneself while masturbating, pooping on a partner, etc. I don’t want to pass judgment, but it’s hard for me to get through this segment without gagging, although it does remind me of a scene in a certain movie—and our next fetish.
• First introduced in Team America and now featured on Broadway in Avenue Q, it’s hard to tell whether “puppet porn” is a fetish or just a pop-culture phenomenon. One of the attractions, I’m sure, is seeing puppets engage in acts on stage and film that would qualify as hard-core porn if they were performed by actual human beings. For instance, Team America was the first R-rated film to include a Cleveland Steamer. But hey, they’re puppets. It’s okay.
• If puppets don’t turn you on, you may try Hentai, or X-rated Japanese animation. What’s not to love about large-breasted, doe-eyed, barely legal babes in short skirts—even if they are cartoons?
• I never knew “casting” was a sexual fetish, so I’m adding it to this list, although, compared to some of the other activities listed, it is downright tame. Called “casters,” these fetishists enjoy looking at casts on people or being constrained by casts themselves.
  “For my husband, it’s a variation of the foot fetish. Others like arms and such,” says “CastBitch,” who runs www.castbitch.com. “For some, it’s the feeling of not being able to move, like bondage. For others, it is the attention; they are getting away with something secret.” CB first discovered the fetish when she found links to Web sites and photos on her husband’s computer. “He about fell out of his chair when I told him, ‘Let’s try it!’”

That, of course, is every fetishist’s dream—to have a partner willing to engage in their fetish with them.

What should you do if a partner approaches you, wanting to try something unusual in the bedroom? If it’s not something that completely turns you off, give it a shot.

One of the great things about sharing a fetish with your partner is the intimacy it evokes. Since most fetishists are not very open and public about their turn-ons, you are sharing something very special, just between you and your partner.

Decades ago, fetishists would be incarcerated in asylums for their disorders. Considering the true meaning of the word, that’s not surprising.

A “fetish,” according to its clinical definition, is a sexual disorder where a person cannot get aroused without a particular object, body part, fantasy or behavior. The person may fantasize obsessively about his fetish, sometimes to the exclusion of normal social behavior. That doesn’t sound like fun, does it?

In recent years, though, the word has evolved to encompass many types of unusual, and even some not-so-unusual, sexual behaviors. If you enjoy an activity or appreciate the beauty in a particular body part, but don’t need it during every sexual encounter to get aroused, a so-called “fetish” can be quite fun to explore.
A foot fetish is a common, “mainstream” fetish, if you will. It’s quite easy to see the sensual attraction to feet. After all, what’s not to love about smooth, pampered soles, finely polished toenails, the sensual arc of a woman’s foot and, of course, sexy and powerful stiletto heels? (Just writing this makes me yearn for a pedicure!)

Beach season brings plenty for a foot fetishist to feast upon and enjoy. (And is it just a coincidence that a thong describes a sexy piece of clothing worn in two separate places? Or that low-cut shoes create sensual and revealing “toe cleavage?”)
According to the principles of Reflexology, the foot contains powerful nerve endings that can elicit amazing physical and even sexual responses. Performed by certified reflexologists, it can also treat ailments and diseases.

But you don’t have to be a pro to give a relaxing, sensual foot massage. You may want to study reflexology charts to learn what parts of the foot correspond with different parts of the body. Other than that, a little massage oil and a firm but gentle touch will have your lady swooning.

Approach from the top of the foot, or even her calf, and work your way down, if your lady proves to be too ticklish down there at first. Warm up her feet, too, with some rapid rubbing.

From a simple massage, foot play can progress to even more sensual, playful and arousing experiences. Try toe-sucking, or even a foot job. (Yes, that is exactly what it sounds like.) If you ask your partner to pull on silky stockings, you’ll like the feel of her toes and feet all over your body; you may even be ready to come by the time she gets to the main attraction.
Now, looking at it that way, is a fetish really all that bad?
