Deadful

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

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.

Aw man. No dice. For some reason I thought I remembered seeing brain dicks, but I was wrong.

This painting doesn't even mention genitals!

The book is from 1953, so maybe that's why.

Edit: wasn't able to share photo before but I just took a new one and it worked.

I'm an EEG/Sleep technologist and an older coworker just gifted me an ancient book with a similar image inside that may have the genitals. I'll check when I'm back in my office and upload if applicable. 👍🧠🍆

Couldn't have said it better myself! 👍

I don't mean to nitpick, but you're likely just sleep deprived. You probably don't get enough sleep or the quality of your sleep just isn't very good because of an issue like sleep apnea. When your sleep sucks, a simple bump in blood sugar from lunch is enough to throw you into a neck-breaking tailspin. The more you know... 🌠

Right on, my big-footed brother! Xero brand is a good option if you are ever interested in something a little more athletic or casual than your go-to boots. Barefoot shoes take getting used to in general, so keep that in mind. In particular, leading with the heel when walking quickly and especially running can be uncomfortable so you may need to adjust your stride a bit. Also you feel everything under your feet, which would be a huge contrast compared to your boots. In the end it's worth it for better foot strength and less pain.

I second this. I have huge feet (US men's 15 extra wide) and after a lifetime of cramming my feet into shoes that fit "good enough" I'm developing bunions along with other aches and issues. After a particularly painful weekend on my feet I decided to see if the Internet had any suggestions and I fell down the barefoot shoe rabbit hole. I initially balked at the price and styling of most brands I saw but the cheaper options simply didn't come in my size. I decided to go for it and got a pair of Xero shoes since they make a men's 15 that isn't too hideous and I haven't looked back. Best decision I have made in the last 2 years.

"possible"

I would eat it, but I would do so on rare occasions in the same way I might have a drink with friends once a month. I became vegetarian for health reasons in addition to the reasons listed by OP and I have grown to really enjoy meat-free eating, so I don't really miss it but would view it as a treat best enjoyed sparingly.

Just by the numbers I would assume quite a few Lemmings work in utilities companies and healthcare.

For me it's healthcare. I am an EEG tech and sleep tech.

I believe it's a combo of sunlight and distance according to experts.
