Nay, her foot speaks.

FOOT FOR THOUGHT: A Quest for the Perfect Female Foot

FOOT FOR THOUGHT
A Quest for the Perfect Female Foot
by

"The most tempting part of a woman's body is her feet. Feet are a woman's second body, the one I can visually enjoy without her being offended or even aware, and never would I have imagined that my little secret would attract so many people."
- ED FOX, Glamour From The Ground Up

I am aware that there is no such thing as perfection in this world. If at all, perfection is only a relative concept which can subsist only in an individual’s perspective as it is incapable of existing in the realm of absoluteness. In spite of this fact, humankind’s pursuit of perfection in everything has been unrelenting. A case in point is Eugenics - a science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or breed.

Being a true-blooded female-foot lover since the time I can remember, I have always tried to analyze the anatomy of the female foot for examining its erotic attributes – how a pair of lovely feet are able to arouse sexual interest in a male and turn him wild with desire.

In the following paragraphs, I have endeavoured to explain the things that I find perfect in a woman’s foot. They are solely (pun unintended) my views and may be at variance with what you or the other guy may find sexy or perfect. A very thin line segregates the beautiful from the ugly and everything depends on the individual’s personal taste and aesthetic sensibilities. (I care two hoots either way!). Remember, people differ. Some object to the fan dancer, the others to the fan.

TOES

Toes are that part of the female foot (or any foot, for that matter) which is most likely to attract your attention in the first place, depending, of course, on the physical point of view from which you are ogling (er…watching!). First let me tell you what I find displeasing or unsexy. I hate very short stubby toes that bear a truncated look. They lack character and personality, two of the most important things that a woman’s foot should possess. Unduly long and skinny toes are also ungainly. The big toe should be straight, with nicely rounded contours, like a chief presiding over his clan. I prefer the second toe to be just a wee bit longer that the big toe (I hear that this kinda toe is called ‘roman toe’). Remember, I said just a wee bit longer! Like an able-bodied second-in-command. A second toe which is inordinately longer than the ‘chief’ spoils the show for me. Let me illustrate my point (well, literally!).






Ideally, I like the third and fourth toes to be straight but supple. However, a little inward curve of the fourth toe also looks sexy (the 5th pic from the top above). Well-proportioned straight toes have a distinct advantage in that they look genuinely graceful in their natural relaxed position. Also, the owner can curl them coquettishly at will. Notice the tense positioning of the toes in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pics below. Naughty,suggestive and very very sexy! As for the fifth toe, well!!! I definitely prefer the little guy to be straight but here too, a subtle inward curve is not bad. I particularly love the way the little toe gets partially hidden behind the fourth toe when women curl their toes on being tickled on the soles. While I’m at it, the other thing that I love is the peals of uncontrollable girlish laughter women give when you tickle their soles.





ARCH

The arch of the female foot is something magical. And more! As the name suggests, it is the ‘arch’ of the gateway to the toemple, beckoning the truly devoted foot worshiper into the sanctum sanctorum. But to be perfect, an arch should neither be excessively high (it doesn’t look natural) nor inclined towards flatness (it spoils the beauty of the whole foot). Just a glimpse of a graceful arch visible through high-heeled shoes or sandals can leave a guy panting for more. Check out the pics below.






SOLES

Siiigh!!!!! The veritable sanctum sanctorum for the hard-boiled foot lover. Let the bells toll! A perfect sole is silky and pink with all the delicate contours at the right places. It is one which the owner can smoothen or wrinkle at will. I particularly adore the way the mounds take on a deeper pink hue when the lovely lady has been walking around. Absolutely soulful!




ANKLES

Way back, I happened to come across a spelling test in the Reader’s Digest. It contained a fistful of words of the English language from which a guy in his right mind would rather maintain a safe distance for fear of misspelling them. I still remember the exact sentence: “A bachelor and a cobbler sat at the gates of a cemetery, picnicking on a desiccated apple and gazing at the symmetry of a lady’s ankles with unparalleled ecstasy.” You guessed right! I remembered the sentence for all the wrong reasons. The symmetry of a lady’s dainty ankles is indeed capable of bringing about unparalleled ecstasy (and a sleepless night or two for the really desperate freaks). However, I observe that the ankle is one of the two most neglected parts of the female foot in the eyes of many a foot fetishist (I’ll talk about the other one below). An ankle is the little hillock from where you can view and enjoy the beauty of the panorama beyond. The pics below will mirror my sentiment better. As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.




HEELS

As in all other parts of the female foot, the beauty of the heel lies in its own individual shape. One which is too round or protruding is a definite no-no. A perfect specimen should come out as a natural extension of the the lower leg, giving a chiseled look. The more pinkish the tinge, the better! Gentlemen, savour the forbidden fruit.




INSTEP

Instep is the upper surface of the arched middle portion of the human foot in front of the ankle joint. This is the other most neglected part I was talking about. A smooth perfect instep is the meandering path to the fruit orchard waiting to be discovered. In fact, a hint of bluish veins below the skin adds to the beauty if the complexion is good (Check out the 3rd pic below).




FOOT ODOUR

And finally a word about the smell of the little dearies. Stinky feet would be certainly repulsive, except perhaps to the extreme freak who is too far gone. But it is amazing that well-groomed women seldom have dirty or stinky feet. Coming to that, it is equally amazing that even the cleanest of feet always carry a distinctive smell which can be sexually arousing to the die-hard fetishist. In most cases, it is just a just a whiff which you feel rather than smell, like a soft warm breath. A lady who has been walking around on a clean floor will most certainly pick up an earthy scent on her soles which is exciting to the olfactory senses. The overnight skin-softening creams which women use on their feet also leave a lingering sexy smell. Try kissing a female foot which has been recently freed from the confines of a sandal or a shoe and you get a heady scent of leather mixed with natural body odour. Happy sniffing, guys!

GAIT

I feel that this page would be incomplete without a word about a woman’s walk. The way a young lady carries herself can enhance or mar her whole beauty. I am absolutely captivated by the way some women walk – the placing of the feet on the ground, the swing of the arms, the rhythmic sway of the hips. Confidence, grooming, attitude and, last but not the least, the right choice of footwear all play a part in making a gait beautiful. A young woman walking barefoot can be an equally fascinating sight – a perfect combination of innocence and sexiness. There’s no sight more beautiful than a graceful young lady walking. It’s like music for the eyes. There is a scene in the movie Entrapment where Catherine Zeta-Jones is in a room with Sean Connery and takes a few steps towards the door to answer the doorbell (if my memory serves me right). She is wearing high-heeled sandals in the scene. I must have rewound this shot on the DVD player twenty times just to see her take those few graceful steps. Incidentally, Catherine Zeta-Jones has one of the most shapely and sexy pairs of feet in Hollywood (If you are a movie buff, check out this flick for its brilliant screenplay, superb direction and the sizzling on-screen chemistry between Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones).

Hence, the conclusion is that female feet look good, feel good, taste good and smell good. So where’s the party toenight? ENJOY!!!!!
