It’s pretty strange, I can remember liking feet in preschool and kindergarten. I have no idea why, though.
Lately it’s gotten to be more of an “in theory” than “in practice” thing for me as I’ve come to learn about fungus and micro biome, etc.

- coldtea 6y agoSure, but how is this relevant though? It's other people's feet people like, not their own (and so don't themselves feel those sensations when they touch them or whatever).
- iSnow 6y agoI'm not a doc but I would argue that the guy must have had severe fungal infection of his feet to get to a point where sniffing his socks poses a health hazard. Maybe even immuno-compromised. I doubt you can contract this from healthy feet even if you sniff them daily :)

- labster 6y agoThis answer is great, because it’s just something people like. Some people like espresso, some people listen to hip hop to relax, some people find meaning in Jackson Pollack paintings. There may be some underlying cause for foot fetishism like there is for the taste of cilantro. But ultimately, what’s awesome to you?
