Foot porn?

I caught a person in our home, examining pictures of... feet. WTF? I hung back to look, and it was various closeups of feet. I strolled by and he shut it down like he had done something wrong.

Mind you, my relative loves to have her feet exposed every chance she gets and not in anything but open toed shoes like flip flops, though she buys those that are more expensive and made of leather.

I have no doubt it was sexual. I just need for someone to explain this fetish for me.

EDIT: And what I was looking at seemed ... sketchy, due to how it was zoomed in on. And that has less to do with the foot porn than the age of the foot.

1. Can you explain any fetish beyond: this is what this one person happens to like

Although some researcher found that the part of the brain that receives sensory information from the feet is located next to the part that deals with sensory information for the genitals in the human brain.

Which could be a biological explanation although I don't know how much that has been looked in to.

3. The issue was the age of the foot

As I edited to explain.

I have no problems with adults having fetishes, but I may be way off base here, and will shut up.

5. I don't think I could tell a 12 year old foot from a 21 year old foot

if that's all I had to go on.

What basis do you have to think that it's an underage foot if as you say it's zoomed in on just the feet?

I just know a small foot from an adult foot. And that really isn't the problem anyway.

8. So what's the problem then?

Is this a case of all porn being evil and exploitative. Or are you opposed to people having fetishes in general?

/adults can have small feet and with nothing else to provide perspective how could you tell the size?

Porn isn't evil, and I have fetishes too.

I think I posted in the wrong forum, and I apologize if I made it seem that either were "dirty".

Adult porn and adult fetishes are adults business.

That's why I have a problem here. Not your issue, I just didn't know where to go to bounce it off of people. And I *NEEDED* to bounce ideas off of the shots I saw

11. I guess I'm just not getting the concern

you implied the age was an issue but then backtracked on that.

If he's an adult and the models are adults I don't see what problems you need to bounce of people.

I'm not trying to be combative if I'm coming off that way I'm sorry. I just genuinely am trying to understand what is at issue here.

Obviously if he's look at underage anything that's a problem. But otherwise I don't see any concerns.

2. Yes, feet for some, shoes for others, and still others are into both.

4. I love shoes

I don't like minor children shoes and children not over the age of consent shoes. That's my concern. I edited my post because I got to thinking about it *again*. This isn't the first time it has crossed my mind.

7. I've heard of a lot of men with this fetish

You are saying this was a woman? First time I heard that.

There's no way I could explain, I mean I appreciate a nice foot, clean, nice ankle leading up to ... well now I'm getting distracted

Man. Looked like the feet of children, but that was the only part of the zoom I could see when I walked by. This isn't the first time I've had this idea.

14. For a long while, the only Internet access I had was either the library or the communal computer...

I HATE when someone checks out what I'm looking at on my monitor. It's worse an invasion of
privacy than eavesdropping (unless the person is obnoxiously loud in public). Worse because,
although you can't really CHOOSE what you hear... you CAN choose what you look at.
.
Plus, with all the surfing and pic-searching that I do... you can imagine how much weird shit
I run into without intending to. And there's the completely innocent stuff -- as when I'm
checking out a funny pic site and there are occasional (innocent) pictures of children. If a
housemate or a library patron is behind me looking, I get the feeling that they are making
presumptions (just as the OP may be doing -- there could be all sorts of non-fetish reasons
for looking at pictures of feet). ADD to that the fact that the OP isn't 100% sure they were
pictures of children's feet.
.
It could be projection or, more likely, the OP may not LIKE the person he saw looking at
these pictures -- thereby helping to shape his presumptions.
.
.
.
This is how nasty "scarlet letter" rumors get started -- "I saw X looking at pictures of
children's feet on the Internet -- I'll let YOU figure out what THAT means".
