I don’t see how because a foot fetish is an attraction to someone else’s feet, as in “feet that don’t have a neighboring nerve connected to the same part of the brain that controls said foot pervert’s dong.”

This is actually science related to the electrical impedances of nerve and brain tissue.

The connection between foot nerve stimulation and genital stimulation is a physical one that can (and has) been measured and reproduced. This response is nearly universal and affects men and women, unlike a foot fetish.

I think a better explanation for the fetish is that feet are a part of the body that is often covered and seen as generally dirty, giving it a taboo allure other non-sexual parts of the body don’t usually have, but that’s less neurology and more just my opinion. Lol

Edit: added the usually

No, but the closeness in orientation explains why foot rubs are erotic. Stimulation of the foot and toe region of the brain will affect the neighboring genital region causing arousal.

Aw man. No dice. For some reason I thought I remembered seeing brain dicks, but I was wrong.

This painting doesn’t even mention genitals!

The book is from 1953, so maybe that’s why.

Edit: wasn’t able to share photo before but I just took a new one and it worked.

I’m an EEG/Sleep technologist and an older coworker just gifted me an ancient book with a similar image inside that may have the genitals. I’ll check when I’m back in my office and upload if applicable. 👍🧠🍆

Couldn’t have said it better myself! 👍

I don’t mean to nitpick, but you’re likely just sleep deprived. You probably don’t get enough sleep or the quality of your sleep just isn’t very good because of an issue like sleep apnea. When your sleep sucks, a simple bump in blood sugar from lunch is enough to throw you into a neck-breaking tailspin. The more you know… 🌠
