This issue is a product of youth. When I was younger I was deathly afraid of being outed, because those were the days before the Internet and I actually thought that I was the only person in the world who had this kink. Now I am so out of the closet that I don't care in the least if people, especially girls, know that I have a foot tickling fetish. In fact, I want them to know. For instance about a year ago my wife and I were at a party at her niece's house. There were about 8-10 girls, including my wife, chatting in the living room. She suddenly blurts out that I love to tickle her feet. One of the girls said, 'Oh, you must have a foot fetish'. I said that I have had a foot fetish all my life and no one thought a thing about it. My wife certainly doesn't care and we do some very erotic foot tickling stuff. It is so wonderful not to have to hide. I cheated myself out of a LOT of foot tickling opportunities because I was in the closet for so long. Now that I know that 99% of the people don't give a damn about what turns someone on, I am kicking myself for not coming out sooner. I have to admit that TMF was a huge factor in making me feel OK about my sexual predilections, though. I can't tell you how relieved I was to know that I have lots of company when it comes to getting off on tickling girls' bare soles
