   Hi there, Cool site u have…

   Can anyone here offer me some links to Korean foot fetish sites, esp korean foot forums, if there are any??

   Cos i have been meaning to look for these but as I do do understand Korean, find it really hard.

   Thanks

   I know it sounds funny to say – but I actually do not know them.

   You might look around Daum cafes – but yeah, you’ll find it tough going getting around in there without Korean.

   That would be “cafe.daum.net.”

   The ironic thing here is that we’re trying to steer clear of some of the links to pure “fetish sites”, as we’re trying to shake that stereotype of men who sniff feet and eat things off of toes or wear high heels behind the desk at work.

   While there’s nothing wrong with such things – hey, sounds fun – we want to try to skirt falling into pure fetish while still not losing our edge.

   Does that make sense?

   Thanks for the link. I guess that the link probably contains forums of some sort?

   I understand your intentions to make this site as “clean” as possible as you’ve got an audience here from both sexes - dont want them to get the “wrong” idea.

   To me, to love feet or to have a fetish about female feet without sexual undertones simply detracts from its original meaning in the 1st place. I know its a hard thing to do, but I guess somewhere along the way, we have to let it be known (subtely or otherwise), that having a “fetish” is as normal as “mainstream” desires (i.e breasts, hipps etc)

   I think the world needs a good education that foot fetishism is as normal as anything else in life, and this site is a good place to start. So long as we are able to communicate the idea across without having people get the wrong idea that we, the foot community, are nothing but a bunch of foot crazed weirdos, but yet, at the same time, get the idea across that foot fetishism is a part of our sexual desire after all and that theres nothing wrong with finding the female feet sexually attractive, people would come to understand and begin to be more open to this community..:)

   Is the above inline with what you have in mind for this site?

   Geez…Me thinks I have come full circle only to find that I have emphasised what you have just mentioned!…LOL…..

   Well, kind of, actually. That’s exactly what this site hopes to do – appreciate the beauty of that part of the anatomy as a thing unto itself, with part of that being the recognition of the deeply sexual meanings that go along with that.

   But we just want to steer clear of the loaded concept of the “foot fetish.” It’s just a practical, semantic concern.

   It’s what will keep the site fresh, vibrant, and cool for its female readers, since we’re not just a clinical catalog of feet and shoes.

   Actually, I am trying to bring this together in the model photography, where I can have more control than when I am trying to snap street shots, where the endeavor itself leaves the photo with “voyeuristic” limitations. I try to overcome them by reaching into the realm of the “artistic”, but it’s hard.

   You may have noticed with my most recent photoset with Sugar that the table shots and the extreme angles that emphasize the shoe while yet treating the model and entire picure in a sensualizing way. That’s what the fashion photographers and magazines do, except that that they are much more abstract and use fancy filters.

   In any case, I think you can only go so far with street “grab shots” – and I want to go somewhere more, somewhere further with it. I think you’re going to get the same content from me, just more refined and planned than before. I feel like I’m getting better at the street stuff and the photoshoot stuff all the time.

   But we’re just going to have more posts from Korean female writers, which will tone me down – by definition, in terms of sheer numbers – but I’ll still be producing the same content as before. Just think of there being more interesting stuff coming in between my posts.

   And thanks for that thoughtful feedback! Upon reading it, I am really able to say that we’ll be able to continue to provide you with exactly what you’re looking for!

   Any more thoughts as to what you especially like? That kind of feedback will also help.

   Just had a good look around your whole site…You rule dude!

   well ok i personally love sole shots the best - esp bare heels!

   Hope you will be able to take more of such shots.

   Well, you know we got “sole.”

   ㅋㅋ

   Seriously - we’re gonna try and get more types of shots in our next photo shoot.

   More sole in Seoul.

   Anything else?
