Dear I Have A Foot Fetish,
Having a fetish means that a certain object or part of the body turns you on. In a way, most people have fetishes, because most people are turned on by one thing or another. So you are not alone!
A foot fetish happens to be a very common fetish. In fact, feet and things people wear on their feet are a symbol of sex in many cultures. Perhaps this is because the feet are a very sensitive part of the body.
In any case, a fetish is a healthy thing to have, and is only a cause for concern if it gets in the way of a person being sexually healthy. For example, if a person cannot have a sexual experience without the object of their fetish present, that may get in the way of a healthy sex life. Otherwise, the ability to feel sexually aroused and experience sexual pleasure is something to be enjoyed.
