      I thought I saw somewhere that the nerve center for feet and genitals were right next to each other in the brain and sometimes it gets “flipped” or the pleasure center is “expanded” and includes the feet.

        Some people suck dick, some people eat pussy. Some people even eat ass. Non of these things are that clean…

      Evolutionary throwback.

      Foot health was like one of the biggest things for survival.

      Same as teeth, just not as visible.

      So some people see a nice clean foot free of disease and without a bunch of calluses and ingrown nails and think “this is the kind of young healthy person is should be reproducing with!”

      That’s all it is, a sign of good health.

        In terms of human evolutionary history, our feet were generally filthy and very heavily calloused. Actually, a heavily calloused foot provides a significant survival advantage in the wild. Keep in mind that shoes are a new invention in evolutionary terms. I don’t think you’ll find answers in evolutionary psychology on this one.

          And teeth naturally got yellow and worn down, from use or damage.

          But we still like a perfectly straight ridiculously bright white smile because it’s a sign of health and youth.

          Same with feet, you’re not going to find someone with perfect feet before shoes, but there would have been an obvious difference between a teenagers feet and a 40 year olds.

          But back in the day “good” was mostly absence of parasites.

            Well, relatively speaking anyhow. Just about everybody had them, it was more of a question of which parasites and how many – and this was largely how things were up until indoor toilets & plumbing became more common and of course still is in many areas.

            Funnily enough our immune systems sort of co-evolved with some intestinal parasites, and not having parasites is one factor in people developing autoimmunity. Some autoimmune diseases can even be treated to some extent by purposefully giving you some specific parasite (can’t remember which one, too lazy to search)

              I mean, kind of?

              An autoimmune disease is when your body attacks itself, and it’s possible giving yourself a parasite gives it something else to focus on…

              But man, that sounds like when people gave themselves tapeworms to lose weight. There was some vague logic to make it sound ok. But any medical professional that condoned it probably wasn’t a very good doctor.

              Especially if they are infecting people to treat autoimmune disorders

                It’s more complex than that. If someone is exposed to parasites when they’re still developing, their chances of having autoimmune issues later in life goes down – the fancy way to say that is that exposure to some parasites lessens the chances of immune system dysregulation. Some parasite proteins can also be used to modulate the immune system to eg. treat asthma. See eg. Helminth Immunomodulation in Autoimmune Disease from 2017, abstract here:

                Helminths have evolved to become experts at subverting immune surveillance. Through potent and persistent immune tempering, helminths can remain undetected in human tissues for decades. Redirecting the immunomodulating “talents” of helminths to treat inflammatory human diseases is receiving intensive interest. Here, we review therapies using live parasitic worms, worm secretions, and worm-derived synthetic molecules to treat autoimmune disease. We review helminth therapy in both mouse models and clinical trials and discuss what is known on mechanisms of action. We also highlight current progress in characterizing promising new immunomodulatory molecules found in excretory/secretory products of helminths and their potential use as immunotherapies for acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

                But man, that sounds like when people gave themselves tapeworms to lose weight. There was some vague logic to make it sound ok. But any medical professional that condoned it probably wasn’t a very good doctor.

                Especially if they are infecting people to treat autoimmune disorders

                Just because giving someone a tapeworm for weight loss is not a great idea doesn’t really mean anything here. Immunomodulatory therapy with parasites isn’t woo-woo despite how weird it may sound, and the idea isn’t to necessarily give people worms (although that’s not entirely ruled out either!) but to learn how they do what they do

        I wouldn’t care, except so many women in porn make sure to show their feet so much. It’s just as bad as the whole step sibling thing. I don’t care if it’s your kink but can we please stop putting it in all porn?? It’s just distracting.

          I love how upset this seems to make people when usually they are watching stolen porn or porn where the labor of the performers is basically completely unvalued.

          We don’t care about that, we just want them not to do kinks we don’t like even if it means they can get a bit more money out of some amount of labor that we aren’t contributing to valuing whatsoever.

      Same what makes people get horney by being beaten, spit on, shat on and other stuff. At some point in our childhoods someone did it to us and we interpreted it as love. At least that is how it works for most.

        I don’t think “someone did it to us and we interpreted it as love” applies as often as people think.

        I’ve got some kinks that I have no idea where they “came from” because they never happened to me IRL, especially not in childhood. I honestly think there’s just certain neuron pathways that accidentally branch over onto sexual arousal pathways and one day you see some stuff and go “huh, guess I’m into that.”

          A lot of stuff in nature *just is*, and there doesn’t have to be any reason for its existence. Nature is messy and chaotic, and that’s one of the beautiful things about it.

          Why do we like some of things and dislike others? Why do some people find some things sexually arousing and some don’t? Why does sexuality and gender identity vary between people? Why do some people like video games, or snowboarding, or dancing, or doing theater, or collecting rocks, or all sorts of different things, and some don’t? Why are some people introspective and like philosophizing and others don’t? And then there’s all sorts of different physical variances like height, size, shape, colour, etc

          Sure, some of these may have evolutionary reasons, but do all of them? Or maybe a lot of variance in humans (and nature in general) *just is* because nature is not clean, robotic, and perfectly logical, and never has been?

          Nature is messy, chaotic, and it’s not clean or perfect or able to fit in perfect categories. And that’s what makes nature interesting and beautiful. It wouldn’t be the same if everything operated like a perfect robotic machine, if that would even be possible in the first place.

            To be clear tho, things don’t just happen in nature for funsies, or magically without any purpose at all. All evolution has “logic”, even if it doesn’t necessarily follow our own. Species don’t evolve randomly for the fun of it.

              Except evolution literally does result in random mutations that don’t necessarily have any function, or solutions that are sub-par or inefficient, or whatever else. Or things that have unintentional consequences elsewhere. Nature is not perfect.

      I quite enjoyed it, but it’s not a movie I’ve bothered to rewatch.

      It’s not got the popcorn fun of Inglourious Basterds or Django Unchained.

    my first thought based on the photo and the title suggests Tarantino might have been using his other hand for other things…
