    I’m a girl, in a healthy BMI and with nice hair, pretty and freckled face, but my feet are super crappy. Like, crusty, toes bend at weird angles, hard skin in random places. Even my own husband is like “plz no, stop” if they get too near to him.

    I’m now wondering if there’s a market on the other end of the scale…

      There is. There’s a fetish for everything. Certainly when it involves your feet, I’d ask your husband if he’d be ok with some internet strangers paying you every month to see your feet, the worst is he says no, and on the other hand if he says yes you have a second source of easy income

      I used to know a dude that would have gotten hard at your written description here. No bullshit. Dude was obsessed with feet, and what he called “real feet” were his particular favorite. Feet that had seen some life, had been used was one of the few things he would talk about. Literally obsessive about feet.

      I guarantee he is not the only one. The only question is if there’s enough like that to make any useful money out of a feet only business.

      There’s something about foot fetishists that’s extra obsessive compared to any other fetishists I’ve run across over the years.

        I wonder how onlyfans pay model works. If they take a percentage and you don’t need to put any initial funds down to start then you’ll basically have nothing to lose.

        See, I can kinda get it for some elegant and well kept ones and I’d definitely down for some foot play in such cases. But I don’t know if that would even classify as a foot fetish when I constantly hear about how bad people have it for the (pardon) “ugly” and unkempt ones, which I just find weird.

        But yeah… I mean, there’s like 8 billion people on this planet. There’s always some niche where one fits into that would get someone off and could be capitalized if they’d be willing to do so. Just keep in mind that you’re, in the end, still selling your body for sex in a way.

          To be honest, I’d rather sell my body for sex instead of selling my body to backbreaking warehouse work

      It is my firm belief that, given a proper pitch, ANYTHING can be sold at a profit.

      Also, there’s rule 34: If a thing exists, it’s someones fetish.

        If it exists there is porn of it… Not sure where you got that other version from

          You can probably extrapolate from “if it exists, there is porn of it (no exceptions)”.

          If there is porn of something, the most likely reason is that someone has a fetish for it.

          If the person making the porn doesn’t have a fetish for said thing, then they’re making it for an existing market of people.

          QED, you can say “if it exists, someone has a fetish for it”

          P.S: What if there isn’t porn of something? Rule 35 states that if it doesn’t exist, it will be made.

            You have fundamentally misunderstood millennial meme culture ca. 2006 (roughly when the rules were made).

            No one having a fetish for it would be extremely motivating to create such porn. People realized after it was made that they had a fetish for it. See: Shrek.

            So technically you can still say “if it exists, someone has a fetish for it” but you’ve relied on correlation to determine causation and gotten it backwards. This is a great example of why we don’t do that.

            Just because you can extrapolate something from it, doesn’t mean you can change the words in the rule. They got the rule wrong, simple as that.

      Post pictures of them on Onlyfans.

      Add the caption “Listen up, degenerates. I’ll only warn you once. I will release a new photo, closer than the previous, every hour, on the hour, until my subscriber goal is met.”

      Some people just don’t like feet / being near them etc. Had girlfriends who would freak out if we somehow touched feet (even with socks on).

      Due to the people being people, who knows who has what kinks. I suppose there is only one way to find out.

      And no, I’m not into feet myself.
