Hepatitus C or Other STD's Through Foot Worship
Apr 21, 2003
I have a male foot fetish which I indulge from time to time.
What health risks are posed from worshipping a man's feet, especially if the foot has not been thoroughly washed (right out of a shoe, for example)? The feet that I have serviced appear to be free from any cuts or lesions.
Should I worry about bacterial or fungal infections? If I wash the
guy's feet with soap and water would this negate any risk?
Any feedback on this matter would be most appreciated.

You are not at risk for HIV or other sexually transmitted infections when worshipping feet. I'm not sure about other bacterial or fungal infections (I've never heard of athlete's mouth, but I have heard of jock itch), so I might not be the best person to ask. Regardless, washing your idol's feet before you put them in your mouth, crotch, or anywhere else doesn't sound like a bad idea (I would!).
