Hello everybody, my name is David and I'm new to this forum and really anything involving communication with people who share the same fetish as I do. I had been intending to join for a long time, but the timing never seemed right with school, work and other responsibilities. I am 20 years old, a full time college student and a part time worker who is ready to finally meet and open up to people who have this in common. As my name implies, I play the guitar and it is one of my biggest passions (that along with the drums and the bass.) I study computer networking and I am a Christian, which is something that is very important to me. I do sometimes have conflicts with my faith and my fetish that I have been trying to come to terms with which seem to be at odds with each other. I do believe that when it comes to friends that it is quality over quantity, and that five good friends are better than 500 acquaintances (Thank God for spell check).
I knew I had this fetish (although I did not know that it was a fetish at the time) when I was about 11 years old. I remember watching foot tickling videos when my parents were away and getting very excited, while at the same time very confused because I did not know why. I did know that there had to be other people out there like me because there were so many videos and other forms of media revolving around this subject. I also remember, at around that same age, realizing that I had a foot fetish because, like tickling, feet were very exciting to me. A little bit later in life I began to do some research on this subject and I found out that nobody, not any scientist, psychologist or doctor, could determine exactly what causes a fetish. I think I remember reading that it develops during puberty, and that one could give into the fetish and make it permanent. While I was beginning to do this research (around Jr. High and High School) I started to notice that I was a little bit different than everybody else. This wasn't just because of the fetishes that I had, but many different things. I liked listening to heavier rock music, while other people liked listening to pop music. (I have nothing against pop music, or any genre, it's just that my preference is rock music.) A lot of people liked to listen to Justin Bieber, Drake or Usher, while I enjoyed Falling in Reverse, Escape the Fate, Sleeping with Sirens etc. I began to read YouTube comments while listening to these bands and even people who trash talked them wouldn't get trash talked back, they would just ask them why they didn't like the music, state that it was their opinion, or ask why they came here to post that at all. I've read quite a number of posts and other means of public communication here on TMF and it is the same kind of support. People who don't follow the norm are incredibly supportive of each other because they have a common ground that is very unique and they focus on that, instead of finding differences to capitalize and segregate on.
This post is essentially me "coming out" because I have never told anybody about this, ever. In fact I still plan on keeping this to myself except for communication on this forum. While that might not be the healthiest thing to do in the world, it's definitely something that I feel is best for now. I am definitely different, but I am definitely who God made me and I am trying to find out my place in this world. Thanks for reading!
