- What
Is Foot Worship?
by Anne Hoston
Many of us think of our feet
as just being appendages of our bodies that take us from one
place to the next. That is true for a great many of us. For people
who worship the feet, these parts of our bodies can become scared.
The practice of foot worship goes far back into our past when
a person would lower their entire body on the ground so as to
pay homage to a person of higher stature.
In this context the phrase “kiss
the ground that you walk on” literally means that. Here
a subordinate person will show their adoration of the higher
ranked person by kissing the ground that they walked on. They
show they place a high importance on foot worship by acknowledging
that even the feet of such a high individual is far superior
to them.
In the olden days slaves were made not only to prostrate themselves
before their conquerors but they were forced to lick and kiss
the parts of the floor that the “superior” race had
walked on. This method of foot worship showed they understood
their status.
Foot worship can also be associated with foot fetish. Here items
of the feet like socks, shoes, toenail rings and others become
objects of scared interest. These items cause the individual
to venerate and worship the objects. The objects in this case
will take the place of an actual person’s presence and the
foot worship can take place at anytime that it is desired. |

There are other ways of foot
worship. These are of an erotic nature as they stimulate sexual
desires. In this type of foot worship the foot of a female or
a male is kissed and the toes are sucked upon. Also burying one’s
head in the soles of another person seems to indicate the subservient
nature of that person and the superiority of the other.
Supposedly lowering the entire body and showing adulation to
the feet of another person who is of a higher rank by foot worship
is a way of saying that one person is unworthy of being in the
presence of the other and their worship of the feet acknowledge
this. Individuals who perform this type of foot worship will
also allow themselves to be walked on, stomped upon and they
will even let other people of “higher” ranks trample
them without any protest.
I am sure that there are people who think this sort of behavior
is either weird or erotic. I personally would rather perform
foot worship by massaging my feet with soothing creams and lotions.
Pamper them by soaking them in a bath of Epsom salts. Finally
I would just relax my feet by keeping up on the sofa. This would
be my version of foot worship. |
