Concerned about feeling attracted to feet, shoes, or socks?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

1. It really depends on the context. If this is simply a feeling of attraction—similar to how someone might find certain physical features like eyes or hair attractive—and it doesn’t interfere with your relationships, daily life, or lead to obsessive behaviors, then it’s not necessarily something to be concerned about.

2. However, if it starts to impact your relationships, becomes a source of distress for you, or turns into something you feel you can't control, it might be worth discussing further with a therapist or counselor. They can help you explore it in more depth and provide support if needed.

Thanks
