What is foot fetish? Symptoms and ways of treatment
Foot FetishWhat is foot fetish?
It can be said that fetish literally means obsessive attraction, which indicates an excessive sexual desire of a person for a specific sexual activity. There are different types of this issue, one of them is foot fetish, in which people are very interested in the feet of the opposite sex and are sexually stimulated by the feet or anything related to the feet, such as socks or shoes.
Foot fetish is interested in the feet of the opposite sex and is stimulated by a person's feet, fingers, and ankles. The death rate of fetish is different in different people. Some people get turned on just by looking at a person's feet, so if they see nail polish or jewelry on a person's feet, they get completely turned on.
If the death fetish is reasonable and controllable, it does not cause psychological problems, but if it gets out of control, it needs to be referred to a psychologist.
Among different fetishes, foot fetish is the most known, which is a sign of its popularity.
The studies that have been conducted in this regard show that half of the surveyed people have been involved in various fetishes in some way, and among them, foot fetish and pedophilia are the most common.
Everything about foot fetishWhat are the signs of death?
A diagnosis of foot fetish is often made when a person reports the symptoms of foot fetish to a psychiatrist or psychologist or psychotherapist. If the person goes to a mental health specialist together with his partner, he can treat this issue to some extent.
One of the main signs of fetishism is the constant use of inanimate objects or dependence on inanimate sexual parts of the body to achieve sexual pleasure. This sexual pleasure can be created for a person through touch, smell or observation. Over time, these people will depend on other things to express sexual interest.
Another sign of this fetish is related to needs that cause serious disability in social, occupational, etc. fields. A person suffering from a fetishistic disorder will feel shame and distress because of unusual sexual desires.
Adults who are sexually active may occasionally develop some fetishes during their lifetime, but since these types of tendencies are not accompanied by mental distress, they are not considered a disorder.
In the following, we refer to a series of statistics related to fetish disorders:
This disorder is seen approximately for men.
Approximately one out of every four men with foot fetish have homosexual tendencies.
Fetish disorders are usually associated with maraphilia disorders or intense sexual activities.
Although such disorders appear at the beginning of life, its symptoms may appear and appear during the person's life and increase less and less.
Signs of fetish deathReasons for Fatish's death:
Like the way of dressing, the style of music and other things related to taste, sexual desires are also different in different people. It may be arousing to one person but normal to another, or something that is sexually arousing to another may be disturbing to you.
There is still no definite reason for the cause of this disorder, but there are theories in this regard that somehow explain why feet are attractive to a group of people, they are mentioned below:
Biology:
The human foot is the end of the nervous system, it is more sensitive than this, and its stimulation occurs more easily and more intensely. Tickling, rubbing or massaging is more felt in the leg area.
Excessive touching of the child with the foot:
Many parents or others caress or play with their baby's feet. This issue can be a reason for the child's great interest in feet, and this interest will show itself in the form of foot fetish in the future.
child abuse:
In many fetishes, the experience of sexual abuse in childhood or rape and sexual intercourse for the purpose of pleasure can be seen. One of the main causes of psychological damage is related to child abuse. To prevent the damage caused by it, it is suggested to take the child to a counselor.
Losing a loved one in a period of life:
In some death cases, it can be seen that when a loved one is lost, either because of death or because of being away from one or more devices, he begins to seek pleasure in order to forget the sadness of the loss. In the case of foot fetishes, these items are related to another person's foot or its image.
Humiliation aspect:
One of the theories for the causes of foot fetishes is related to the sense of humiliation that the foot creates due to being the lowest part of the body. For this reason, people with foot fetish want to get pleasure by being humiliated by someone who is their sexual partner. They like to have a person's foot on them to fully feel the power difference.
Dominance aspect:
Often, one of the main reasons for the death of fetishes is to dominate the opposite sex in the relationship. These people only choose humiliating positions for sex.
The causes of fetish deathConsequences of death fetish:
Foot fetish is one of the disorders with wide consequences, including physical health problems. The foot is one of the parts of the body that is always in the warm and humid environment of shoes and socks. Skin is transmitted by skin. If they are infected, the transmission of the disease will intensify, among these diseases, genital herpes, oral herpes, oral HPV virus, etc. can be mentioned.
If the foot touches the penis or the mouth infected with the virus and there is also a sore, the transmission of the disease is not out of mind. The delicate skin around the penis, vagina, anus and testicles can be damaged by sharp finger nails. Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection and is one of these.
Fungal infections such as athlete's foot can also be transmitted to his partner through contact with infected skin or even shoes that the person is infected with.
Failure to have healthy sex:
If the foot fetish continues without treatment, the person cannot have healthy sex because he only has the ability to reach orgasm through his feet. Unhealthy sex in itself leads to complications that include depression, anxiety, etc.
Mistress and Slave phenomenon:
If a person's foot fetish is left untreated or its intensity increases, it may cause mistress and slave phenomenon. This phenomenon is the same as the master and slave in the death fetish relationship of the person whose feet are worshiped is the Mistress and the other side is the Slave. This desire will increase so much that the slave wants to be beaten by his master and enjoys this torture. The master will also enjoy torturing. If this form of relationship is intensified, the slave will suffer from masochism disorder and the master will suffer from sadism disorder.
Consequences of death fetishTreatment solutions for foot fetish:
As mentioned, all foot fetishes need treatment only when they have a negative impact on a person's daily life or their life together. Also, due to the depth of the problem of a fetish, the treatment process will be long. The most common treatments considered for death fetish include psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, drug therapy, and family psychology. Among other methods are as follows:
Disgust method:
In this method, the person is stimulated using a real or imaginary stimulus, and during sexual pleasure, an electric shock is given to him to wake him up from seeking pleasure with this method. (In general, methods of conditioning that introduce a negative stimulus at the time of creating pleasure and give a person a negative feeling are the most used)
Habitual learning method:
In this method, the person is taught the correct method of sexual intercourse, and the person must repeat this task repeatedly or listen to the recorded sound in order to have a correct and habitual method.
Use of medicine:
A significant effect can be seen with the combination of drugs and behavioral therapy, so apart from cognitive behavioral methods, drugs can also be used. Antidepressants and anxiety medications will be used as a prerequisite for treatment. As you know, testosterone is one of the hormones that create sexual characteristics, and the therapist can reduce it by prescribing anti-androgen drugs, thus reducing the sexual desire and sexual image in men.
Treatment of foot fetish with medicineHypnotherapy:
In this method, the therapist treats the person with hypnosis and then changes the basic and unconscious beliefs of the person that caused this disorder.
Conversation method:
If the sexual deviation is not yet so intense, the therapist can hold a number of sessions for sexual desire at the same time as talking to the clients.
