I've known peeps with them, I found them to be icky.

But also never heard of getting rid of them successfully so I'm coming at you from that place of realism, MINUS my personal dislike of sexual weirdness.

I think it's going to be for you like the gay folk who try to go straight; just cannot be done!

If you aren't going to jump on the "embrace" wagon then you are in for a difficult time I think.
Avoiding porn/masturbation isn't going to make the desire vanish, it'll be there, brewing.

One of my daughters (the same one who hung in SanFran with that crowd) had guys with "hidden" foot fetishes offer to pay her (she was stunning) to indulge their fetish as their wives/GFs did not know about it.
For them, faking it with the wife and paying for it in private was a solution.

If you absolutely NEED the fetish to become aroused you will indeed have to forego a relationship with a "normal" girl.

Other than a therapist I don't know what else can help you; just trying to suppress it on your own shall not work. How can it? This stuff is wired in somehow.

I wonder is there a forum for those with fetishes who don't want to have them?? I guess FetLife is for those who are into having theirs.
Please don't post on here anymore, how dare you say I can't have a relationship with a "normal girl". No I don't need feet to get off, I can also get off by being submissive. I'm not giving up a normal relationship because of what you think can't be cured.

For the 100th time I said the fetish can't be completely gone, I know that already. It can be weakened most definitely, this is not even close to a gay person becoming straight, being gay is not a fetish it's a sexual orientation.

I'm also not joining fetlife no matter what you guys tell me, I appreciate all your help but when you start to try to bring me down you can just not post here anymore, I'm looking for genuine help with something that is a SERIOUS problem.

How could a therapist rewire my brain? It's my brain the only person who can alter it is myself. There is no reason to embrace this disease, if only you guys knew how frustrating it is and how it's basically a death sentence in the sex world.

this sounds more like a psychological addiction to a type of pornography you have.
how many female feet have you licked or whatever you want to do with
them in real life ? they are only feet.
it is important to separate viewing pornography from true sexual actions
in reality. it is also important to separate masturbation from pornography
and ultimately eliminate it altogether.

I quit porn and am currently on day 5 of my reboot and trying to get my head off it. I plan on quitting masturbating for a few months to see where I stand, I've come to accept I have an addiction to foot fetish porn. I've had a few encounters with female feet and in real life and was extremely turned on by touching smelling etc. Somehow my fetish actually feels less strong after me not feeding it, I have wanted to cave so bad but I just have to do this for myself and hopefully I succeed.

Did you have any kind of sexual contact with other kids or adults before age 10? Were you physically traumatized by someone before this age?

Good for you!

Hopefully with effort, you will be able to find a middle ground where you know the things you enjoy (in this case feet), but you are not controlled by it.

Just like an alcoholic wants to be able to enjoy a glass of wine from time to time, or an overeater wants to be able to enjoy dessert a few times a week.. the problem is not the thing that you are fixated on, but rather the compulsive tendency of the mind - which can be very challenging to cope with.

The Buddhists call this finding the middle way.

I have a friend that's into hairy women (except face & legs). He is currently in love with actress michelle rodriguez due to her latest pic at a mexico beach resort. Different strokes for different folks.

No I was never sexually abused or anything like that, Honestly I'm pretty sure I knew I liked feet at like age 10 but I can't remember that much.

thank you for having faith in me. I have to accept that my foot fetish was controlling my sexual desires, I'm doing good so far but it's probably going to be a difficult road. hoping for the best.
