This is the theory of why foot fetishes are common right?
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.
Would that not in turn explain the foot thing
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
I mean, if your partner gets turned on when you touch their feet I'd expect that to make you feel something too. But I do think your theory is compelling as well.
I found it on the wiki pages for phantom pain, what's this about food fetishes though?
Toes and feet are next to genitals.
Hmmm yes. Would that mean you're attracted to other peoples feet or attracted to your own sexual feet stuff 🤔
Bros never heard of a foot fetish. Ask a woman her stories about creepy feet guys, most will have at least one I bet.
Nah, the proper way to enlighten someone about the existence of foot fetishes is to tell them "just look up wikifeet bro"
