#fetishfriday A fetish is a story masquerading as an object. This was an important lesson for me to learn. The lesson of projection. I think it applies to more than fetishes, to more than sex. However, for my purposes today let me share with you a foot fetish photo from my vintage amateur porn vault and the comment I received when I first shared the gallery in which it was featured. The photo gallery was entirely filled with photos of my feet in all of my shoes, boots, slippers and sandals. They were all shot from this angle. They did not go higher, nor show my facial expression. The collection was simply of my ankles, arches, feet, toes and shoes. This was the text for this gallery: Here is a selection of my favourite boots & shoes. In the future, whenever I buy a new pair I really like, I'll display them on this page. :) The comment I received regarding this gallery was: you look so turned on in these photos. Well, I can assure you I wasn’t. The experience was very functional and completely mundane. Put on shoes, pose, remove shoes, repeat. To make for a good photo the poses were not natural and even holding them for a few moments was awkward. The position of my feet were not at all similar to the way my entire body including my feet holds tension during pleasurable sexual experiences (only to then release upon orgasm). Yet, the viewer saw something else. He projected onto these photos and onto me the way *he* felt when looking at the photos. The viewer’s comment told me his story of his attraction and perception of feet— my beautiful feet. I have never forgotten this.
