Treating Foot Fetishism - A thread to help those, who want to get rid of their foot fetish

This thread should be a collection of your and my tips and methods to get rid of a foot fetish (or at least to try to treat a foot fetish).

I do not care that I am kink shaming. I'm a guy with that fetish, and appreciating this fetish has only made my life worse. Why? Because it gives me the impression that I do not have to constantly better myself in general, as "I'm perfect the way I am".

First, we will rename it. Instead of "Foot Fetish", or even worse "Foot Kink", we will call it Foot Sexualization Disorder (short: FSD).

Like it or not, it is a disorder. Feet are not intrinsically sexual. The genital parts are. You could also make an argument for boobs and ass (I've read, that we first were only attracted to asses, but when we started to walk due to evolution, boobs also grew bigger as we weren't starring at the ass that often).

So now, how could we cure it?

Let's look at "the dangers" of FSD, or: Why guys with FSD are seen as creeps?

Of course, not all of guys with FSD are creeps. But it's a fact that it's become a problem. Female influencers start to edit out or blur their feet in the posted images or films. Women get random DMs on Reddit asking about feet pics. Women dating someone have their feet touched without consent. The creep's argument is: "It's just for fun". But for people with FSD, a foot is the equivalent of a boob. Replace all of that with "boob" and you'll see how creepy this is. I mean, here is an whole thread discussing this: https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/ya8k2f/fucking_feet_guys/?rdt=58734

So it seems, that people with FSD are on average more confident on doing perverted comments or doing perverted actions. Why so? It's a mix of being desperate, being triggered by feet IRL and thinking one could fool the other person (as "it's just feet").

So if we open up about our foot fetish (if we're not one of those creeps), not only is it seen as something gross in general, but also we're gonna be seen as a creep, it's a potential red flag. This person even left her boyfriend because of his foot fetish: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueOffMyC...left_my_boyfriend_over_his_foot_fetish_and_i/

So the conclusion is: It's not worth having a foot fetish.

Now about feet being gross:

1. They smell. You can deny it, force it to like it, but they just fucking smell.
2. They have tons of bacteria between the toes and under the toenails. I mean, when I cut my toenails, there comes out a vomit like smell out of them.
3. Possible toe-nail fungus
4. They look all the same. There is no difference between a male foot and a female foot (expect the average size). But there is already a difference between a male and female chest, and a male and female ass (due to bigger hips).

I hope you will know further methods, tips how to beat this. Keep in mind that I am someone who had this fetish since puberty, way before porn. So it's not porn-induced.
