The UX is onto something tho. What caused feet to become sooooooooo much more goddam popular in the last 10 years?
Like it’s my understanding that gays grew a condom fetish after AIDS began killing everyone in the 1900s…

I’m bi and I don’t know anybody with a condom fetish lmaoooo. Almost everybody is on PREP now specifically so they don’t have to use condoms lol. Maybe your understanding is poisoned by the fact that you call us “the gays” and don’t actually seem to interact with any lgbt people on the regular.

Clueless straight person question: Aren’t you worried about herpes or syphilis?

Gay people are generally fairly slutty. Image if ever guy’s dream slut was also just another guy. Well, they all have the same attraction to sluts, so they all end up being sluts for each other. Sluts for sluts.
Generalizations cannot be applied to the individual.
Slut.

I mean, nice, but that definitely doesn’t in any way alleviate my fears of syphilis.

1/2 the world population has herpes and like 1/10 in the US. It’s literally just a painful rash and the outbreaks can be treated.

More like 70% of the US adult population if you include the asymptomatic carriers of both HSV 1 and 2.

a big group of people have always liked feet. It’s one of those kinks accidentally caused by our anatomy - the nerves going out to your feet connect to the spinal cord close to the nerves going out to your genitals, and sometimes the signal travels along both lines.
It’s such a close connection many people, myself included, can feel a particularly strong orgasm in their feet. It’s a very distinct feeling as if electricity running down through your leg, into the foot, and “climaxing” in your ring toe, making it curl and twitch a bit (i also suspect this is the exact reason why the ring toe is associated with love [though idk how farspread this factoid is]). I don’t have a foot fetish but I can definitely see how it’d be very easy to create an association between strong arousal and feet
and per the popularity part - people are just much more open about the kinks they have. To the point where even vanilla people start getting curious about soft kinks like spanking, blindfolds, or fluffy handcuffs

I forgot about the foot twitch
