Although I agree with your findings, I disagree that a search on the internet equals turn on. This is because people who are looking for sexual stuffs know what key words to look for, which should not be taken as turn on.

feet do not turn me on at all. sorry. id tell u if they did. but uh they just do not.
i like panties and tight pants and legs, and breasts and yeah i could go on all day.
but definitely no feet

Your search, from what I garnered from your video showed that 'cats' were searched for more often than heels, however, just being searched for doesn't mean people were searching for it for fetish reasons. I think you left out a key piece of information about how you linked searches using wordtracker for fetish reason vice shopping reasons.

Do a story on the cult of the belly!
The newest up and coming body part!

Hehe, the original study was conducted on people that frequent newsgroups devoted to fetishism.
There are far more internet users than internet users that frequent newsgroups.

i think the first study's definition of fetish is different from yours.
second you sample is not representative at all.
say about 3% of the world has a computer and less have internet access
next time, state and reread the study instead of creating a bs one to give "the real picture".
yet i agree that the way bologna conducted the study seems odd and i would've been more intrigued with your observation of how they conducted their study.

yes.
soles, toes, mature feet
and the accepted norm for male desires as depicted by society

Also, fetishes are generaly described as a sexual fixation on a non sexual part of the body or particular object. Panties cover sexual organs, so I would argue that they are closer to being "sexual" than traditionally "non-sexual" garments like shoes. Breasts also play a part in nourishment of the results of the sexual-reproduction process, so fixation on them is far more "normal" than in feet. So, in terms of reporting what fetishes (abnormal fixations), I think their results are fine.

Well, for starters, the study was apparently done in Bologna, Italy. Italians may have a culturally greater leaning towards feet than Americans or other Europeans. (Where are the most sought after shoes made?). Also, when you're searching with that website that you seem to base most of your conclusions off of, are you searching for "foot fetish" in other languages or just english? The american advertising media as well as the "adult" industries pump out alot of what they consider "normal". |
