Why Feet Fetishes Occur
- True fetishes involve requiring specific stimuli like feet for arousal, reflecting unusual brain wiring.
- Fetishes often link to objects or sites historically associated with infection, making them edgy due to approach-avoidance conflict.

- Human mating starts with objectification focused on desire without need, evolving into emotional attachment.
- Cycling between objectification and attachment maintains relationship excitement over time.
Foot Sensitivity & Orgasm Link
