#49 The Sole of Desire (Re-release): Foot Fetish Origins with Feetfixations

We’re closing out the year with a special End-of-Year Erotic Realm Series — two episodes every week, some brand new, some returning favourites.

Together they trace the biggest themes that emerged across 2025: gender, BDSM roles, fantasy, and the psychology of desire.

You’ll hear our first-ever live recordings from the Erotic Realm Confessional at OzKinkFest, reflections from past guests, and a 40th birthday special exploring my own erotic realm — all building toward a New Year’s episode on kinky desires and erotic resolutions for 2026.

This week we explore the most common fetish out there- feet. Welcome to The Sole of Desire: Foot Fetish Origins with Feetfixations.

Support The Erotic Realm for the price of a coffee a month by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack — and help this independent project keep exploring the science, symbolism, and stories of desire into 2026 and beyond.

What is it about feet?

In this episode we explore the psychology, sensuality, and stigma of foot fetishes with 53-year-old fetishist and photographer Larry.

We discuss:

Early foot memories.
Where he thinks his fetish comes from.
The different types of foot fetishists.
The visual appeal of soles.
The neuroscience behind foot-based arousal.
and more!
