Mermaid Feet
Mermaid Feet
I know, it's an oxymoron. But arguably the most popular mermaid in pop culture (Ariel from The Little Mermaid) had canonical legs at one point, so there's that. I don't know if I would call myself a foot fetishist - some of that fetish porn is quite honestly beyond the pale, but then it may just be a matter of degree (of obsession) - but I do appreciate the aesthetic and sometimes even erotic appeal of an attractive foot (certainly not just any foot), provided it's not done to excess. I particularly like the curves involved, but also the psychological idea of exposure (the foot being one of the regularly covered body parts that is most frequently uncovered), especially given that your feet come into contact with your surroundings probably more than any other part of your body, except maybe your hands, which aren't typically covered. There may also be a psychological association with a person being on their back with their feet in the air (a common sexual position), one of the few times when the soles of a person's foot are readily visible. I think it's fun to psychoanalyze sexual triggers, but the bottom line is, you like what you like.
