My five year old son seems to have a foot fetish,does anyone know anything about this sort of thing?

Question

he has always loved feet but the older he is getting the worse it is getting

Answer 1

Your child doesn't have a foot fetish, he likes feet.  It's not really that big a deal.

Answer 2

sounds like quagmire from family guy. giggity giggity

Answer 3

It's not a problem and it's probably not even a fetish.  No offense, but come on!  He's five.  He's going to like really weird stuff, like feet, simply because they fascinate him right now.  But don't worry.  Even if he grows up and has a foot fetish, he'll probably never feel the need to share that bit of information with his mom, and it's certainly not a big deal.  There a plenty of people who like feet.

Answer 4

quit focusing on it and get some help for your sexual paranoias.  it's not fair to push your problems onto your child.

Answer 5

and the problem is what???? so ...he likes feet. big deal..

Answer 6

sounds normal to me, esp at that age.

if it continues and you really have intent on stopping it, go see a doc, or a therapist. but really, do you want to stop you child from being himself..... or just disliking that one little thing about him, those scenarios will make him feel like a weirdo, which he isn't, when he grows up

Answer 7

At the age of five, something like this is actually relatively normal. I'd say just try not to worry too much and before you know it he'll be over it. If the problem does persist, you could visit with a doctor. Don't worry, though, it'll pass.
