ok keep it clean

I've no idea how, or why, anyone develops
a foot or shoe fetish.

No.

Nope but if you'd like I guess I could try to develop one

I do not.

Why do people get them? Take anything impressionable, be it good or bad, and conceal it, and you have a recipe for depravity.

Probably odiferous compounds serving as pheromones.

What about a nervous system fetish? Is there a such thing ...

You don't have a "fetish". What you do have is a closet full of clutter.

No.

No, but I like my shoes and I do have lots of them

I'm right there with you I like shoes..

I used to buy a lot of shoes a long time ago. Not so much now. No fetish though.

Well I don't think I have a shoe fetish, but I do have a lot of shoes but it's because I have athletic shoes for gym/running, I have certain shoes I wear to work, then I have casual shoes I wear when shopping or out and about, then I have boots I wear only in cold weather, oh yeah I have several pair of rainboots ( what's more cheery that a pair of bright yellow rainboots on a stormy day? Lol), can't forget my house slippers , and there are the shoes I work in my garden/ yard, dressy shoes to go out to dinner or somewhere semi fancy, can't forget about all the summer sandals I own....gosh I hope I didn't forget any,they would be so upset that I forgot them. Lol..Me have a shoe fetish nah.....

I have an extensive floordrobe and a shoe thing, 110 pairs last count
As for fetish when I was with my wife she had a selection of Dressing up "bedroom shoes" that had never been worn outside, crazy high heels

The ew component of fetishes is not ew to me. If any state of mind of obsession gets more extreme, it can be hard to use other parts of the brain, hard to sleep, and hard to make rational decisions. Usually a sign of too much coffee or no meditating. Sending love.

Like a lot of "disorders" via sociological plus physiological variables.
(experience interacting with biology).


"Things" are just shortcut triggers to the release of certain hormones, brain chemicals, neurotransmitters.
All of which affect mood and behavior. Like listening to the Halloween theme just freaks people out, even those that haven't ever watched the movie.
Some people are freaked out by the Halloween theme. Others the Jaws theme and Halloween does nothing for them. Some people aren't freaked out by the Halloween theme at all, instead they laugh as they remember a funny halloween experience.

Take dopamine and its relation to pain, stress, and emotions, let alone pleasure.

Also, the bonding process when you're "falling in love."
Heightened states of arousal and awareness. You know when you're really really into someone and you stop being able to see flaws? Or what flaws are there don't seem so bad? People also are exposed to new things. And part of the bonding process is "rewiring" your associations. So things that are "bad" before, or simply innocuous, introduced during heightened states of arousal become associated with that state of pleasure or bliss. And then it just becomes part of the "formula" for how to recreate that pleasure or bliss.

And you do understand evolution and why it shows the idea of intelligent design and a singular creator are flawed? Because people are flawed.
Brains and the body's systems aren't designed "perfectly." There is a lot of variability from one person to the next. Even though it's microscopic, it can ultimately lead to huge differences in behavior and the reasons "why."
Take brain "overlapping." Parts of the brain that are associated with different processes are triggered. Like people curling their toes during orgasm. Why would feet be triggered by something happening to the genitals.


"Fetishes" aren't really like a value menu where they're created by the same process, for the same reasons. It's not like a super soldier serum program where if you could just copy it then you can create an army of shoe lovers.
One person can develop a fetish for shoes primarily due to something like the "foot" area of the brain being triggered at the same time as their orgasm.
Another can develop the same "fetish" because they watched a bunch of porn where everyone wore shoes, another develops it because as they were going through puberty their mom kept buying new shoes and the new shoe smell stuck as they were constantly masturbating.
Among many other reasons.

If you want a tldr, fetishes are formed (or "come from") because people naturally look for and subconsciously develop shortcuts in their paradigms or formulas for how to navigate reality.

"Fetishes" is simply a term (generally) used for a "sexuality" behavioral subset of reality.

Kind of like a sexual opposite of "phobia." You ever see those people that just cringe in fear when they see a frog? Or a cinco de mayo candy skull? Or gun? Or aluminum foil? They simply stop being able to function normally when faced with certain "objects," whereas "fetishes" are incapable of sexual behavior unless that "item" is utilized as well.

Why do you ask? Offers?

wwhat is that?
like drinking wine from shoe?

During my life I've collected many different things for many reasons.
Mostly because I like them.

Its possible you do not have a shoe fetish, just that you like shoes and collect them.

If you are compelled to buy and collect shoes for a sexual purpose you might have a fetish or you might be lonely and identify shoes as a way to find someone so you are no longer lonely.

If you get turned on (or off) by shoes then you likely have a fetish.
If you must buy shoes you might have a compulsion.
If you dream and fantasize about shoes that yearning could be an indication of a fetish and a compulsion.

If you obsess about shoes and it disrupts your life or the lives of those you care for you might have OCD. In which the "D" stands for disorder.

Most everyone has obsessions and compulsions but they are not OCD if those obessions and compulsions don't disrupt their lives.

If you have a large collection of shoes you might want to have them appraised. Ya never know, someone might pay you buckets of cash for a pair to add to their own collection.

If you lay in a pile of shoes and masturbate, yup, its a fetish.
