Everything about our childhood (sex experiences, even subtle ones) manifests in our adult sex fantasies, at least for me they did.
As a young teen, a long bus trip (school field trip) where I laid on the floor to nap, under some older girls seat (I was like 12, they were like 15), they all rested their bare feet on my chest and body. They made jokes about me being their boy toy, and rubbed their feet on me, more casually than sexually.
It stuck with me and now I have a foot fetish and femdom fetish. It doesn't rule me, it's just a side kink to enjoy sometimes, but other childhood incidents also formulated some really wild adult kinks for me as well.
That’s very interesting. I wonder if this is something that perhaps we shall be grateful for instead of feeling awkward about? I personally like the inside feelings associated with mine
Yes we should all be grateful and embrace that which makes us feel all warm and fuzzy, especially sexually. However.. Truth be told, I also have some fetishes that most people would see as perverse. Those experiences are also rooted from experiences during my teens and formative sexual years. I don't really know if the outcome was intentional (did they know what they were doing?) or not, but with the feet thing, it was entirely innocent and not an innocence lost (or stolen) kind of thing.
I could relate
Well, yes.
That's how fetishes and paraphilias tend to develop- via a fixation/conditioning to something during earlier stages of psychological development.
Presumably, some stimulus triggered an association of feet (a traditionally non-sexual body part) with sexual arousal.
Say, the lady next door liked to sunbathe in the yard and she had nice bare feet, and there was a boy next door who liked to watch her and those feet stuck out in his memory, so now it's intrinsically associated with arousal in his mind purely because of the impact of that experience.
I would say it is possible childhood experiences can lead to fetishes.
I believe mine was caused by not being allowed to walk without shoes as a kid and that makes me now shy but at the same time my parents were very strict with me which now I feel I am somewhat submissive and arouses me when someone directs me to show my feet or someone contribute to me being barefoot 😔

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Yes definitely, what we experience throughout our lives can be reflected in kinks and fetishes.
this is true with what we experience growing up.
Kinks and fetishes definitely have links to childhood and younger experiences.
I don't know. My mom kind of did around thing and didn't pay much attention to me and now I want women too spit into my mouth lol
Yes, the environment a child grows up in can affect them in many ways.
Yeah
I think most of the fetishes' develop from childhood.
Yes it can
Not as far as anyone can tell. Sexual desires seem to be fixed quite early. I knew I was kinky at about 7. I liked this painting in the World Book Encyclopedia: https://www.history.com/news/joan-arc-burned-stake
I wasn't keen on the impending auto-da-fe but the bondage was cool.
It's very possible. When I was around six, my babysitter was my first crush. She was our next door neighbor and extremely nice to me and very pretty. She would playfully rub her feet on me if she had just got home from school and ask me if her feet stink. I remember how soft and cute her feet were and as I grew up I did develope a small thing for feet. Not an obsession but I do appreciate how women take care of their feet.
I had opposite experience. I wasn’t allowed to walk without shoes and I haven’t seen much feet as a kid so now it feel like a private part of body for me
