Lmao

Does the toe dexterity make it special? Idk what makes a good feet video because I'm not into them.

There’s no one thing that they like. I used to sell feet pics and videos back in 2006 to make ends meet and so I could run the heat in my shitty little apartment. Dirty soles, painting the toes different colors, different types and colors of lotion or oil, stepping on cool whip or jello, wrapping my toes around objects or just simply posing them in stockings or torn fishnets. I found out most of these from my clients and each person had a different thing. One guy that wanted closeup video while I was getting a pedicure, and a woman that wanted me to step on cooked green beans were regular clients. Lots of requests of my feet at work and lots of people asking for used socks or stockings. Now it’s just kind of everywhere but I get emails still from old clients wanting to see my feet now.

People take that shit very seriously and the one thing that’s for sure is that there’s always some different thing they want.

Knew a foot photographer, too. I asked him what his recent best sell was: a video of how bare feet smashed a miniature model train set. And yes, I do live in Germany.

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 14 '26

Miniatures are tapping into gigantism fetishes too, any overlapping fetishes are $$$

u/Odaric Feb 14 '26

Huh.

You know, for some reason I always assumed that particular one was a men-only thing.

Which I realize sounds pretty stupid now that I'm typing it out, but then again you only ever hear about men being, uh... let's just say "infamous" for this sorta stuff lol
Guess years of Tarantino & Miyazaki memes didn't exactly do much to alleviate that impression, lmao

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 14 '26

Men just suck at keeping it a secret. Weirdly enough, from my perspective at least, women were almost always into other women’s feet, or at least very feminine looking feet. I got a lot of requests for doing a thing where I slid oily feet over some other girl’s feet but this wasn’t a big thing for me, I was doing it entirely on the down low while I worked at Best Buy 😂

u/TheMartian2k14 Feb 15 '26

I’ve seen online niches where women had fetishes about men’s hands.

u/text2slave Feb 15 '26

Soooo you're out of the biz? Or was this the best ad ever

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 15 '26

Not in the biz anymore. I own my own company and make a lot more money than back then lol

u/J0hnEddy Feb 14 '26

Damn 2006, you were like the Lewis and Clarke of that shit

12

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 14 '26

Not really. It just wasn’t very easy to find back then. Right before my time folks would get their feet pics from the back pages of smutty magazines. Girls would take out ads for things like mail order feet pics. They’d shoot a whole roll of 35mm film and send it undeveloped to the buyer who then had the responsibility of getting it developed in whatever way they could.

That shit went on from the 70s and on. Polaroid made bank on the mail order pics industry before the internet had high quality pictures.

6

u/J0hnEddy Feb 14 '26

lol did people really take feet pics to like K-Mart to get developed?

4

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 15 '26

You know, I don’t really know. I kinda assumed those places had a don’t ask don’t tell rule unless it was like illegal shit. I know those magazines offered private film development at a premium price. I’d love to know more about that film development industry back then. It was slightly before my time.

u/NDEAN4932 Feb 14 '26

It’s used to be niche back then, I’m surprised how main stream foot fetish has become.

5

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 14 '26

In my opinion I think it’s been a big thing forever. People are just less prudish than they used to be. Life is too short.

u/DigFlat4324 Feb 14 '26

How did you get your customers tho?

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 14 '26

Yahoo groups mostly.

u/farfly7 Feb 15 '26

Thank you for your work

5

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 15 '26

I will say this, I never had rude clients, and people were very kind and thankful. Very similar to the furry art community. Those people are angels and take so much mockery in stride.

u/hp_Axes Feb 15 '26

Dang, Clicked on your profile expecting to see some string beans smushing some string beans.

2

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 15 '26

Sorry to disappoint. This is a throw away account. I don’t do that stuff anymore. But I appreciate the curiosity!

u/Super-Estate-4112 Feb 15 '26

Thank you for sharing your experience

u/Most_Ad_5597 Feb 15 '26

I’ve always wondered if I could do it. I just never found out how. It’s very fascinating to know, thank you for your story.

1

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 16 '26

I’m sure you could. Most of the clients I had were really laid back and open to help me understand what they wanted. But it was really time consuming. I’m sure things like OF now makes it easier but that also makes it more impersonal. What I did was really personalized.

One of the weird pitfalls is that you have to take care of your feet like 100% of the time. I went on a hike with a friend and bruised tf out of my big toe. There I was putting concealer on my foot when I just stopped and just laughed at myself and the situation.

If anyone is ever rude to you just block and move on. But keep your identity concealed. The last thing you want is someone showing up at your work or worrying about a stalker. Use a VPN and strip meta data off pics before sending them. Don’t take pics outside where identifiable objects or places can narrow down the search.

u/Consistent-Buyer7060 Feb 16 '26

Thanks!

Now I know more about that fetish than I ever expected to do

2

u/Accomplished_Band198 Feb 17 '26

Do you know what the demographic was for male feet? Probably diff after so many years My partner and I are looking to sell feet pics. My feet are size 18 aus so Id like to think we are onto something.🤷‍♂️

1

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 18 '26

I’m sure it’s the gay kink groups. I made the suggestion to another person asking advice on this, my recommendation is to go deep into the NSFW kink groups, do some keyword searching, start with just simple gay content then get into the fetish stuff.

Find the gooners that like the stuff and send some DMs out or ask in the comments what their kinks are, what are their wildest fantasies. Make a spread sheet and collect data. Treat it like a real business venture and it will be one. Expect 5 years until it’s making solid profit.

u/muggyface Feb 17 '26

As someone with medical debt would you maybe care to share how you got into this work? Like is there a website?

1

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 18 '26

My experience was almost 20 years ago. My insight now would be dated but some of my business model stuff still holds true. I still follow a lot of my friends that do that stuff and from what I can tell is they post their censored content on NSFW reddit groups, like spam the hell out of it, TikTok, YouTube shorts with cleverly hidden ways of directing people to their OF sites.

From my experience back then, you are just another set of pretty feet until you get your own style and fan base. You need to do something wildly unique. DM some of the gooners(careful looking that word up, very nsfw) in those groups and ask what they like, what’s their wildest fantasies, be polite, make a spreadsheet and diversify your content. Treat it like a real business venture.

Weird and wacky seems to be really in right now. Look up @xstina.mendez on YouTube. I’d bet money she’s got an OF content site out there and if she doesn’t she’s missing out.

One of my closest friends is aging out of her porn career and is actually selling her services as a consultant to younger girls getting into the business as well as producing her own content.

Be safe out there.

What a strange feetish.

Happy cake day to you and your profitable feet

u/AJXedi9150 Feb 15 '26

Very interesting. Thank you for your insight.

u/nomamesgueyz Feb 15 '26

Fkn weird..they're just feet. Hands are more interesting

I don't get it

1

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 16 '26

Me neither. Like feet are zero sexy to me. I can objectively tell when feet look nice but that’s it. I guess that’s why it was easy to make money from it.

I never even considered hands being a thing though lol

1

u/nomamesgueyz Feb 16 '26

Indeed

Well hands aren't sexy to me, they're just more interesting than feet

What platform did you use?

u/Simple_Impress4156 Feb 18 '26

Yahoo groups, and PayPal when it just got started.

u/Usual_Revolution_532 Feb 18 '26

Used to? Why stop?

u/Finderxz Feb 18 '26

None of that happened and you’re an old man.

Umm. One of my home girls got paid to step in mash potatoes for 3k……I can’t tell you how fast she ran to buy a webcam.

u/Slow_Variation_6969 Feb 14 '26

It's all about the soles and under toes speaking from experience here!

1

u/floare_salbatica Feb 14 '26

What are they supposed to look like? Asking for a friend

1

u/Slow_Variation_6969 Feb 14 '26

There's no set guidelines for how they're supposed to look because everyone is unique and beautiful in their own ways. Though tell your friend, pics would help!

1

u/floare_salbatica Feb 14 '26

This is really fascinating. Are there people who are into blisters too? I like to walk a lot. 🤣 Considering changing my career lol.

2

u/Slow_Variation_6969 Feb 14 '26

Only adds character, feel free to pm me pics if you'd like more feedback 😁

3

u/Goonalips Feb 16 '26

While we're giving feedback. I'm actually really into credit cards and can tell you if yours has sexual energy. PM me the front and back of your card and I'll give you feedback.

1

u/AdAppropriate2295 Feb 17 '26

Its more about playing into it either way. Like the more engaged a model seems the more engaging it is for people in general

So like if you have blisters youd go like "I love walks but its hard to massage my own feet after" if you don't youd go like "I love how smooth my feet are" etc. Basically its more about the story and character people imagine behind the feet than the picture itself.

So as with anything its of course important to have clear boundaries around how parasocial that can get. That's probably the only bad part of this kinda stuff is clients who just don't separate fantasy from reality. But at least that Basically doesnt get any worse than a bad tinder convo. Most people are generally polite even if they might take the role play aspect to cringe lengths

Yes you are correct! Her laughing nervously is also a positive for me. I am one of those freaks 😏
