In BDSM, foot worship is the practice in which a woman or a man gives extreme adulation to the feet of another person. It is practiced by both straight and gay couples, especially those who participate in BDSM activities. Like many other "kinky" sexual activities, there is often also some enjoyment derived from the fact that one is indulging in a taboo activity by "worshipping" the foot of another person.

Non-BDSM foot worship

Foot worship is not always practiced in a BDSM environment with a designated "dom" or "sub". Especially with people who do not practice a BDSM lifestyle, "foot worshipping" is practiced as an appreciation for feet by those who have a foot fetish. As such to give one example, a foot fetishist who is almost always male since it's generally a male trait, can "worship" a female's or male feet by sucking his or her toes (a behavior known as "shrimping" in this context). Another favorite activity of a foot fetishist is to lick and kiss the soles. Burying one's face into the soles is also a favorite pastime. Worshipping in this sense without the BDSM aspect is sexually arousing for those with a foot fetish, and often leads to intercourse. However, this is not always the case, and the act of worshipping female feet can often be all that is needed to be sexually satisfied. For some of those who have an extreme foot fetish, "regular" sexual intercourse cannot be satisfactory without some kind of attention given to a lover's feet. Although predominantly a male indulgence, some women do have fetishes for male or female feet. In some cases, heterosexual men find the feet of other males sexually arousing, although these fantasies generally do not involve them engaging in sexual acts with those men.

Foot worship in BDSM

In BDSM, foot worship can include licking the foot of one's "dom" or "domme", massaging it, kissing it, praising it, allowing oneself to be stomped or trampled by it, sucking toes, etc. Others gain sexual pleasure from the odors present from sweaty feet, and often unclean socks and footwear form part of the foot worship activity. Thus, the term "worship" itself really has nothing to do with the normal interpretation of the word "worship" in the English language. It's actually more akin to "making love to" or "foreplaying with" the dom's foot. A collar is a common symbol in BDSM. BDSM is a term which describes a number of related patterns of human sexual behavior. ...


Typically the enjoyment of foot worship stems from the fact that the foot is usually considered one of the "lowest" and least appreciated parts of the body; thus if a "sub" worships the foot of a "dom" then the sub acknowledges that her or his status is so far below that of the "dom" that she or he worships even the least appreciated part of her or his dom's body. Foot worship can be historically linked to the practices in various ancient or traditional cultures where a person (from a "lower" social stratus such as a slave or peasant) shows adulation by kissing the feet of another (from a "higher" social stratus such as a king or queen). The same may be said, by extension, of boot worship etc. "Worshipping the ground the dom walks on" is another variant of foot worship. In this case, the slave is made to kiss or lick parts of the floor that the dom has stepped on. Some women and men who enjoy giving foot worship have admitted that the act of kneeling and lowering her or his head (in order to perform the worship), thereby acknowledging her or his unworthiness before her or his "dom", is actually equally arousing to the act of kissing or licking itself. Boot worship is a term for the practice of extreme adulation of boots in BDSM, especially in female domination. ...
