As a Bay Area sex therapist and psychologist with a sex-positive approach, I have seen firsthand the diversity and complexity of human sexuality. One area that often piques curiosity and sometimes even raises concern among my clients is having a foot fetish.

This image invites reflection on diverse sexual preferences, including foot fetishes, in a non-judgmental and accepting manner. To back up, a foot fetish is a sexual attraction to feet. It can manifest in various ways from an interest in the appearance and feel of feet to an arousal from specific activities involving feet, such as foot worship or foot jobs.
Foot fetishism is one of the most common fetishes, yet it remains misunderstood and stigmatized. In a sex-positive framework, which I practice as a Bay Area sex therapist and psychologist, consensual adult sexual expressions are valid and worthy of respect.
This means I view foot fetishes not as a disorder or abnormality but as a natural variation of human sexuality. The sex-positive approach is grounded in the belief that sexual diversity is a normal and healthy part of life. It challenges the notion that only certain types of sexual expressions are acceptable and encourages people to explore and express their sexuality in ways that feel authentic and fulfilling to them.

When working with clients who have a foot fetish, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where they can discuss their desires without fear of judgment. This involves normalizing their experiences and helping them understand that their fetish is a legitimate part of their sexual identity.
