Why is the sensuality of the female foot displayed so prominently in film if foot fetishism is merely an uncommon fetish? Other than "haha Quentin Tarantino!" and other pop culture memes, what does the typical viewer think when seeing this? Pictured: Tara Reid, The Big Lebowski
>>215539050>uncommon fetish
>>215539505>all men like feet
>>215539714oh, you're retarded
>>215539831>his foot fetishism was validated by some TikTok memeget out of here, poser
>>215539050It's the most common fetish there is
>>215539714no, but it's simply not uncommon at all. It's just an easy and "safe" way of being sexual on film because pretty feet is feminine (while strong hands being masculine). For me it's the toes I want to suck when I see feet kino
>>215540108I don't mean relative to other "fetishes," porn brain, I mean as a phenomenon

Feet eroticism is white and traditional>The immortal goddess Thetis with her glistening feet(Homer, Iliad 9.410)>Marpessa of the fair ankles(Homer, Iliad 9.555)>Danaë of the fair ankles(Homer, Iliad 14.418)>Menelaus, were thy thighs stained with blood, thy shapely thighs and thy legs and thy fair ankles beneath.(Homer, Iliad 4.146)>Ino of the fair ankles(Homer, Odyssey 5.335)>Hebe of the fair ankles(Homer, Odyssey 11.604)>And on their delicate feet they dance around the darkly bubbling spring(Hesiod, Theogony 3)>And there the goddess came forth, lovely, much revered, and grass grew beneath her delicate feet(Hesiod, Theogony 195)>Three thousand nymphs with shapely ankles(Hesiod, Theogony 365)>Klymene, the lovely-ankled nymph(Hesiod, Theogony 510)>Medea with the graceful feet(Hesiod, Theogony 960)>This has made me think of Anactoria, who isn't here. Her step, which stirs desire...(Sappho, fragment 16)>[…sing of] the bride whose feet are graceful(Sappho, fragment 57?)>Come, my dear, off with your robe and seat yourself on the Scythian's knee; stretch forth your feet to me, that I may take off your slippers.(Aristophanes, Thesmophoriazousai 1183)>Homer says that Ate is a goddess and tender—her feet at any rate are tender . . . And we too shall use the same piece of evidence about Eros to prove that he is soft . . . he is always touching with his feet and every other part the softest of the softest, it is necessary that he be most tender.(Plato, Symposium 195)>See the young boys beat the ground with their snow-white feet(Horace, Odes 4.1)>I ran up and attempted to kiss her; then, when I came to my senses, I was ready to follow her and kiss the marks of her footsteps.(Alciphron, Letter 3.67)>Women ought for the most part to wear shoes; for it is not suitable for the foot to be shown naked.(Clement of Alexandria, Paedogogus 2.12)
>To a Woman: Do not ever wear shoes, or conceal your ankles with false and deceptive skins, whose beauty, which consists in their dye, is illusory. For if you wear white, you obscure the whiteness of your feet (since like in the midst of like does not show); and if you wear the colour of larkspur, you offend the eye by the darkness of the shade; and if crimson, you cause fright, as if blood were flowing somewhere in the shoe. I wish that all the rest of you were visible; and you would actually possess far more power, exposing your whole body to the spectators’ eager pursuit. Well, be a bit economical of other features, if you will, and do not begrudge them protection or such coverings as are indispensable; but leave your feet at least bare like your neck, your cheeks, your locks, like your nose and eyes. To be sure, wherever nature has erred, the damage requires clever treatment, in order that art may conceal the defect; but where beauty suffices for its own display, remedial measures are superfluous. Be self-reliant and trust to your feet! These even fire will spare, these even the sea; and if you wish to cross a river, the river will stay its course, and if you wish to scale crags, you will seem to yourself to be treading on meadows. Thus Thetis was called “silver-footed” by the poet who had exact knowledge of all of beauty’s highest forms; thus Aphroditê too, as she rises from the sea, is depicted by the painters; thus too the daughters of Leucippus. Keep your feet in readiness for those who fain would kiss them; and wear no bonds, even of gold.Philostratus, Letter 36
are these good feet? idk I'm not a feet guy.
>To a Boy: Your condition is rather delicate, and it’s because, I am sure, your sandal pinches; new leather, you know, is quite likely to cut into flesh that is tender. That is why Asclepius readily heals wounds received in war and hunting and all such accidents, but neglects these others because of the voluntariness of the action—as due to indiscretion rather than to a god’s capricious malevolence. Why then don’t you walk barefoot? What grudge have you against the earth? Slippers and sandals and top-boots and shoes are for the wearing of invalids or the aged. Philoctetes, at any rate, is pictured in such protective garb—because he was lame and ill. But the philosopher from Sinope and the Theban Crates and Ajax and Achilles are pictured as wearing no shoes, and Jason as wearing but one. For the story goes that, when Jason was crossing the Anaurus River, one boot was caught by the mud and held fast under the stream, and so he had one bare foot—not that he deliberately chose to have, but that chance taught him what was best; and he went his way the victim of a salutary robbery. Let nothing come between the earth and your bare foot. Fear not, the dust will welcome your tread as it would welcome grass, and we shall all kiss your footprints. Ο perfect lines of feet most dearly loved! Ο flowers new and strange! Ο plants sprung from earth! Ο kiss left lying on the ground!Philostratus, Letter 18
>>215539050I want those feet to massage my dick until I cum
It's not a fetish. Unless you're homosexual, you like feet, simple as.
>"A pretty foot is a great gift of nature," he said. "It is a grace which never perishes. I observed it today, as she was walking. I should almost have liked even to kiss her shoe, and repeat that somewhat barbarous but significant practice of the Sarmatians, who know no better way of showing reverence for any one they love or respect, than by using his shoe to drink his health out of."Goethe, Elective Affinities
>The frontispiece of woman runs from top to bottom like that of a book, and her feet, which are most important to every man who shares my taste, offer the same interest as the edition of the work. If it is true that most amateurs bestow little or no attention upon the feet of a woman, it is likewise a fact that most readers care little or nothing whether a book is of the first edition or the tenth.Casanova, The Complete Memoirs of Jacques Casanova de Seingalt
>There’s something here, my dear boy, that you don’t understand yet. A man will fall in love with some beauty, with a woman’s body, or even with a part of a woman’s body (a sensualist can understand that), and he’ll abandon his own children for her, sell his father and mother, and his country, Russia, too. If he’s honest, he’ll steal; if he’s humane, he’ll murder; if he’s faithful, he’ll deceive. Pushkin, the poet of women’s feet, sung of their feet in his verse. Others don’t sing their praises, but they can’t look at their feet without a thrill—and it’s not only their feet. Contempt’s no help here, brother, even if he did despise Grushenka. He does, but he can’t tear himself away.”Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
>>215539714No one normal likes feet
>Diana’s breast is charming, brothers,>And Flora’s cheek, I quite agree>But I prefer above these others>The foot of sweet Terpsichore.>It hints to probing, ardent glances>Of rich rewards and peerless trances;>Its token beauty stokes the fires,>The willful swarm of hot desires.>My dear Elvina, I adore it-->Beneath the table barely seen,>In springtime on the meadow’s green,>In winter with the hearth before it,>Upon the ballroom’s mirrored floor,>Or perched on granite by the shore.>I recollect the ocean rumbling:>O who I envied then the waves-->Those rushing tides in tumult tumbling>To fall about her feet like slaves!>I longed to join the waves in pressing>Upon those feet these lips…caressing.>No, never midst the fiercest blaze>Of wildest youth’s most fervent days>Was I so racked with yearning’s anguish:>No maiden’s lips were equal bliss,>No rosy cheek that I might kiss,>Or sultry breast on which to languish.>No never once did passion’s flood>So rend my soul, so flame my blood.>Another memory finds me ready:>In cherished dreams I sometimes stand>And hold the lucky stirrup steady,>Then feel her foot within my hand!>Once more imagination surges,>Once more that touch ignites and urges>The blood within this withered heart:>Once more the love…once more the dart!>But stop…Enough! My babbling lyre>Has overpraised these haughty things:>They’re hardly worth the songs one sings>Or all the passions they inspire;>Their charming words and glances sweet>Are quite as faithless as their feet.Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin

Why do leftists hate feet so much...? Must be some kind of alienation from the human body...

>>215539714No one is saying it is universal, but is is said to be one of, if not the, most common fetishes. It is also not a new one given there are things from the ancient world that reference it.
