why do so many of his books include foot tetishism in them?i get the idea of the manipulating woman that crushes and plays with men's desires that is recurring in most of his works, but why exactly does this dominance that his women have on the male sex rapresented so frequently with foot worship?is it just because of how disgusting it is percieved from others or does it have a deeper meaning? does it maybe have a correlation with some piece of japanese culture i'm unaware of?
Fetishes are disgusting. Feet are disgusting. I'm so sick of porn culture.
>>23545366Practically every culture on Earth fetishized feet, but in japan in particular I think I read once that only courtesans wore their shoes without socks on. So it's probably meant to be a symbol that the woman is really slutty?
>>23545397His stories are very critical of modernity and modern styles which is part of it. In the Makioka sisters, the youngest daughter dresses modern and thinks modern and she is the bad seed who runs off with a bartender and shirks tradition.
>>23545366Makioka Sisters is the only book of his I was able to enjoy thanks to everything else of his is so obsessed with sexual submission, often paraphilic. I got the feeling he was only really famous for mixing "serious" writing with salacious and outright sexual content that wouldnt have passed the censors in the generations before his
>>23545366Ah the feet guys, I remember when that used to be a taboo thing but when online porn blew up it ended up becoming vanilla for the most part. That aside the feet guys are all over the place and they can go on for hours, the true bread and butter of the fetish world. Equal parts domination, humiliation, tactile pleasure, object manifestation, not too risky but just enough to make a female uncomfortable. I do enjoy the stories about how they bring it up. That doesn't even touch on some of the more extreme versions of it. I believe Freud postulated it was a substitute for a penis in the mind of the fetishist that could be traced back to childhood when the fetishist inevitably finds out his mother does not have one. I tend to skew more towards the socialization school of thought although I have encountered distinctly Sartrean foot guys.
>>23545613Makioka sisters is so cute. It is like a foreign, marginal version of Jane Austen. That story could make a cute anime.
