From the 'Savage Love' blog in 2006:

I'm a 20-year-old straight girl. For six months, I was dating a guy I thought was nice and normal. One way my boyfriend showed he cared, or so I thought, was by massaging my feet after work (I wait tables to pay my tuition). Then he confessed that he has a foot fetish. [sic] He wasn't rubbing my feet to be sweet or tender or considerate, but for his own selfish reasons. I dumped him. He was very upset and is still begging me to take him back.

LMAO. It can't be both?

I have seen this post out and about on the web, and I have to say that this woman is truly ignorant and showing the lack of wisdom most 20 year-old's possess.

This guy was taking care of her needs whether she knew it or not. If he was truly partial to feet, then he massaged hers and went to bed with a raging hard on, or had to step into the rest room after the fact to take care of himself. Not once did she mention that he tried to kiss, caress, or rub anything else on her feet. But like most of those who are ignorant and closed minded, she assumed that he was getting off and dumped him.

That is what is wrong with today's society. We have these taboos or misconceptions about things but when we stop and really do some research, we would find that feet are highly sexual in nature and have been so for thousands of years. Yet it never surprises me to see a post on some forum dealing with a trivial misunderstanding with regards to arches ,soles and toes. We as humans stick our hands and genitals in surprising places, but the minute that the word feet get mentioned in the same sentence, its like the old E.F. Hutton commercial....

I don't like feet at all, and I'm not much for having mine tickled either. I also had a very bad experience with feet relating to my ex-wife, so it'll never be a sexual thing for me.

That said, I don't begreduge anyone for viewing feet in a sexual way. Go ahead, whatever floats your boat. I can tell you though, if my fiancee gave me a backrub every night and then one day told me she did it because she had a huge fetish for it, I'd sign him up for three more per day on the spot!

That was an extreme example and I didn't mean to attribute that attitude to the OP's wife.

Whether true altruism exists or not is a huge philosophical debate, because it's very difficult to find any act where the giver does not get something out of it themselves even if it's just the idea that G-d is smiling upon their charity. Some people accept that pragmatically and some people have a huge problem with it.

With the OP, I think it's more a question of who's making a bigger deposit in their respective 'bank account.'

I agree completely. I just find it interesting that the thread centered around the innocent act of giving one's wife a foot massage...

That girl got a nice slap down from Mr Savage, I recall.

I'm not into feet rubs. Don't hate them, can take them or leave them really. I don't like massages either, I get bored. Get to the main event, I reckon.

As for your wife, who knows? Ask her. Maybe she doesn't like you touching her feet, maybe you're bad at it, maybe she was just being a *****. Hard for us to say.
