Foot Worship: surrender, attention and devotion down to your toes

"Foot Worship: surrender, attention and devotion down to your toes" was written for BDSMforyou.nl by Mistress Moriah.

Feet are exciting for a large group of subs. Whether that's because they're hidden away for most of the year, or because they're so close to the ground, exactly where subs belong: at your feet.
There are many submissives with a foot fetish, but foot worship goes a step further. It is a form of play with full attention on the feet. But what makes foot worship so intense, so popular and at the same time so underrated?

The power of the foot

Feet carry us all day, are often hidden in shoes or boots, are rarely worshipped and are literally at the bottom of the body, the perfect place for a sub to feel small, serving and humble. Within a femdom relationship, feet are often the symbol of power: whoever kisses, licks or massages your feet acknowledges your higher position. I certainly find it a lovely way to start my day (Ahem… if he doesn't forget. Sigh.). And for my sub, his place is immediately clear. But kissing my feet is of course in sharp contrast to foot worship.

A well-executed foot worship session is all about dedication and goes far beyond a little kiss here and there. The sub shows that even the 'lowest' part of the body is the highest good to him. And it is precisely that conviction, that surrender, that makes those feet so incredibly arousing.

What can you do during foot worship?

Kissing your feet is of course the obvious choice, and perhaps a lovely foot massage too. But what else can you do? Foot worship can take many forms. Think of, for example:

Cleaning

Let the sub wash your feet. Warm water, gentle soap, a cloth. The sub gets to serve, tend and cherish.

Kissing, licking, worshipping

Lips touch skin. He licks between your toes with his tongue. Every spot on your feet receives special attention.

Massaging

Gentle or firm, sometimes even with the tongue. Taking away tension as a service to the Domme.

Trampling

You can of course also combine it with trampling, where the sub literally ends up lying beneath your feet.

Socks, tights, shoes

Foot worship is arousing, but don't forget the scent and texture of socks and tights. They can be very arousing too.

Foot worship can be tender and sensual, but it can also be hard, humiliating and painful. Whatever suits you or feels good to you.

What makes it so arousing?

For the sub, the arousal often lies in the surrender. In being allowed to serve. In the fact that he can concentrate his love, lust and submission in one place. Your feet become the centre of his universe. For the Domme it is a moment of receiving and sometimes even of relaxation. You don't have to do anything except be. Present. Exalted. Your feet receive attention they rarely get. You feel his breath, his tongue, his longing. And you decide what is and isn't allowed.

But… isn't this just a foot fetish?

A foot fetish is often focused on sexual arousal from the feet themselves. Foot worship, on the other hand, is a dynamic. It isn't just about the foot, but about what it symbolises: worship, power, surrender. Many Dommes use foot worship as part of training in surrender. For example (and please make your own list longer):

• Every morning the sub has to kiss your feet when getting up.

• After a working day he receives you on his knees and is allowed to take off your shoes and care for your feet.

• Every Sunday evening there is a special 'foot worship moment' in which you decide how you are served.

• What is your moment?

Each to their own

Some subs worship feet precisely when they are not washed, which can of course also be an exciting option. Pay attention to nails, smell, any small wounds or fungal infections (unfortunately more common than people think) for safety reasons. Clean or 'natural' is a matter of preference, not a given.

Foot worship doesn't always have to be a full session. Sometimes it is a subtle act:

• A kiss on your toes before bed.

• Taking off your heels while he kneels.

• His gaze drifting to your feet when you move an ankle.

It is precisely these small moments that make the dynamic tangible, even outside the playroom.
