Feet are as expressive as the face. Moreso because they are uncorrupted by intelligence.

  Well no, expression is precisely a function of intelligence and the face has evolved specifically to pass non-verbal signals of that sort whereas the feet have not. However, I know whereof you speak and me and your mum are worried about you.

    I appreciate your concern. But to your first point.

    Intelligence is biased towards intelligent expression and interpretation. That limits it, in expression and perspective. Seeing through intelligence-colored classes. Expressing though an intelligence-preferring filter.

    But we are larger than our intelligence. And this larger form has its own expressions.

    Though we, as individuals and a culture, are in the habit of ignoring this larger self. It exists. Like the invisible part of an iceberg underwater.

      I’m either too high or not high enough to have any idea what this means.

      They lack intelligence. You must first determine if the feet can consent.

    It’s generally not okay to lick faces, either

  When I was in theater camp as a pre-teen, one of our actors was a very enthusiastic foot guy. I had heard of foot fetishes, but never understood them. But this guy was like an overexcited fan boy of feet. My curiosity triggered this guy into a huge brain dump, and one of the things he went on about about how feet were the “true expression of a person’s feelings.” Feet turned towards you? They like you. One foot pointed away? They don’t. He then showed me how girls’ feet would match their mood, so no matter what parts they were rehearsing, he could tell their underlying mood: anxiety, sadness, anger, happiness, etc… I have no idea if he was right, but that was my first exposure to another person’s fetish. I could only understand it abstractly, but I found it fascinating.

  “Oh, really?” said Devon, tilting his little toe dubiously.

  Never really thought about it this way, but my wife’s little piggies do have a lot of personality!

  A lot of people I meet everyday have uncorrupted faces as well.

  Everybody I know wears shoes, so, I couldn’t say.
