There are many explainations in terms of psychology. I wonder sometimes how people talk about homosexuality. Is one born homosexual or do they turn it? Are we born with foot fetishes or does out of no where we say hey feet are actually sexy. Would you ever try to get rid of your fetish?

no way, i like mine. I also think mine started after I saw "Boomerang". I then started looking at the female foot and it has only progressed.

I've had my foot fetish and my (foot-)tickling fetish since birth and/or a very young age. I have no idea where it came from... but I want to keep both fetishes. I think it makes my life more interesting, and I think sex is more intense.
I am not homophobic, in part because I understand them when (most) gays and lesbians say "I was just born like this."

I definitely think a foot fetish comes from imprinting at an early age. However, some folks on here will testify that theirs didn't develop until much later into the teenage or even young adult lives.
I'd say the basic approach of what you see the most of at the first years of life kind of wire our brains the way we are later on. As a baby your momma probably had a nice blanky put on the floor for you to lay on or crawl around on. Well, you are pretty much at eye level with feet if that was where momma planted you for hours a day. So when the ladies she invited over from Sunday school came over for tea all sitting around on the sofas you were probably on the floor pushing around the floor bumping into your future objects of lustful obsession! Then of course one cries out "Awww, ain't he just the cutest little thing!" and promptly picked you up and sat you down on the end of her foot to give you a "horsey ride" not knowing she was juggling your marbles in her stockings and heels!
I'm pretty sure that's how mine developed. I can recall as a toddler an aunt that was a teenager at the time giving me one of those "horsey rides" while she was wearing flip flops. After that it was permanently ingrained in my computer banks and has been the driving force all my life to have women's feet slide into home plate ever since!
As far as gays and lesbians go I truly don't think anyone is "born like this." Every lesbian I've known (I actually know quite a few) was at one point early in their life sexually abused(usually by a male relative)and thus changed their mental wiring to having no physical attraction for the opposite sex and preferring same sex partners.
Although I agree with you that nobody was "born like this" I still think that you don`t necessarily have to experience your fetish during your childhood to develop it. What I mean is: You don`t need to have had any experiences with your mother`s feet (or anybody elses) to develop a foot fetish. Take other strange fetishes for example, like the vore fetish, robot fetish, nazi-uniform fetish or giantess fetish, etc. ...I don`t think the people with these fetishes experienced any of this during their childhood. There must be a different reason why our brain makes us act sexually the way we do. A friend of mine has a model train crush fetish...but he told me that he never saw any women in his childhood crushing model trains in high heels.

What if those who have a foot fetish from the beginning are the ones who can't have sex without feet and the ones who develop a foot fetish later in life are the ones who can have sex without feet having to be there every single time? I don't necessarily mean that those who congenially have a foot fetish have a more authenthic liking for feet than for those who get it later in life; perhaps the quick-boomers have a more intense fetish. I know this diverts a bit off topic, but this just popped into my head.

I'm just explaining how foot fetishes come about! I think a lot of it can relate to other subfetishes too though. Spanking comes to mind. An old girlfriend told me how getting spanked made her "wet" once upon a time. Lots of Freudian psycho babble should be coming to people's minds there I guess.
So Hal, did yours develop in the early stages of life by any certain incident or just come to the realization later on just by accident?

Heh get this; I actually remember the exact time it happened! I was a lot younger, some woman walked past with flip flops and red painted nails. Went home that night, looked it up on the internet, and that was that.

I've had this fetish for as long as I can remember. I remember thinking that you weren't supposed to talk about feet. I wonder sometimes if this wasn't after I was told not to go around talking about genitals. As far as "are we born with it?" my opinion is yes...it just takes longer for some to realize it, or it may be repressed because of the stigma attached to it. Of course, environment shapes us all, but I think a foot fetish something from day one. That's just my opinion though.

I've often thought about this subject. My foot fetish started when I was 9 or 10. There wasn't any single incident that started it, just many little ones. I'd see girls/women barefooted, and think, "Their feet are very pretty." (No, I wasn't attracted to my mom's feet!) Yes, I think that we are born with an attraction to feet.

By the way to add to this I think I saw somewhere like on Wikipedia Freud has an input about foot fetishes but I don't have a link. He has different reasons why one may have a foot fetish. Also thanks everyone for responding nice to hear everyone's point of view.

A 20-something-year-old friend of my mom babysat me a few nights when I was like 3 or so. Sometimes her feet would hang off the end of the bed. The bottoms of her feet fascinated me.
Well, not knowing any better I rubbed my, ahem, little friend on her soles. She stirred and asked me what I was doing. I just scurried off.
I didn't pay much attention to feet afterwards, but at puberty, one of Cupid's foot fetish arrows hit me dead-on!
To this day, I believe this early incident made me crazy about women's feet, especially soles. And the internet has only intensified the feeling.
