#22 The Sole of Desire: Foot Fetish Origins with Feetfixations

What is it about feet?

In this episode we explore the psychology, sensuality, and stigma of foot fetishes with 53-year-old fetishist and photographer Larry.

We discuss:

Early foot memories
Where he thinks his fetish comes from
The different types of foot fetishists
The visual appeal of soles
The neuroscience behind foot-based arousal.
and more!

PLUS — M announces her first Psychology of Desire Case File, "The Sole of Desire: Foot Fetish Origins", out tomorrow on Substack. It’s the perfect companion to this episode — diving deeper into the neuroscience, symbolism, and origins of foot fetishism. The Case Files are a new series unpacking specific kinks and patterns of desire through research and lived experience. Link here.

M is also offering two presale courses:
