Do people know about tickling compared to foot fetish?

[Edge]

Is it just me or are most females in particular naieve? I have met a lot of women in their 20s specifically who I tell about a foot fetish to and a lot of them think I am crazy or that its weird to have a foot fetish when in fact proof shows that a ton of guys have a foot fetish. Also, a foot fetish actually at least some of these girls I talk to kind of understand/knew about but tickle torture...most of them never heard of it/thought of it. So I guess a foot fetish is much more common than tickle torture?

I think a foot fetish is more common than a tickling fetish, as Iam sure there are plenty of couples who may kiss feet, suck on toes and play with feet and such without doing heavy tickling and bondage.
As a general rule, Iam of the belief that many women who dont understand fetishes arent quite receptive to either a foot or tickle fetish. Some women are so ticklish that they hate to be tickled, or have their feet played with or touched at all.
I will say that I do believe that one can probably be more successful with getting a woman to understand a foot fetish as opposed to tickling. Some women may not mind having their feet kissed or played with as part of the acts of sex, but, in contrast, there may be a fair number of women who might not like to be tied up and tickle tortured several times a week, or tickled at all, as many women I've come across outside the fetish community say that they absolutely hate to be tickled.
I guess, in summary, that how receptive a woman is to either a foot or tickling fetish depends on the individual or couple. Some women enjoy it, others dont, while some may be open minded enough to try certain things if it makes their partners happy.
So, these are only my thoughts. Good Thread. Thank you. I think it can inspire a lively discussion on an interesting topic.

Foot fetish is a pretty big market. Tickling isn't even a blip on the map by comparison.

I've already used the following in another thread, but your question deserves a satisfactory answer and I think this Doctor tells it like it is...but first...

Keep in mind that when you tell a woman that you have a 'foot fetish', she has every right to think you're a bit weird. A true foot fetishist can only engage in sexual activity as long as feet are the main focal point... most of us here at TMF aren't foot fetishists if that definition is true. I can equally enjoy every aspect of a woman's anatomy. I just like feet the most.

When you talk to women, if they are interested in you as a person, and you are interested in them as a person, the whole tickle issue will eventually come up in conversation, but if you bring the topic up too soon, you're liable to scare the lady away.

Now that I'm done 'preaching', here is that link:

Wow that's interesting as I did not know the definition of a real foot fetish is that you need to have feet 100% of the time as the main focal point to having sex. I consider myself to have a foot fetish because thats what I always am looking at/what excites me is women's soles. But as much as I am into feet I don't think I would need feet to always be every single time the only way I can have sex. That's interesting...I guess I have an obsession with soles yet I still feel like I definitely can have a "normal" relationship with feet kind of being a fun hobby that is a major turn on to me but not something I need to ALWAYS have sex revolve around. Thanks for that explanation.

You're welcome, Edge.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: When guys have a strong attraction for women's breasts or butts, no one hollers at them and says, "Gross! You're a breast fetishist!" or "Get away from me, ButtBoy!" As soon as feet are mentioned, then all hell breaks loose. At least that's what I've encountered sometimes when I mention that I like feet.
