Foot fetishes are harming the health of the youth! But it’s a lot bigger than that…

Look around this summer and you will notice all the kids are wearing socks with sandals. This is because they are aware their feet are sexualized so they cover them up now.

So why does this even matter?

This research article (linked below) published this past March 2025 demonstrates scientifically the health and therapeutic benefits of grounding. So what is grounding?

When your bare feet touch the ground, your body conducts the Earth's natural electrical charge. Direct skin contact allows for an exchange of free electrons. This exchange neutralizes positively charged free radicals in the body.

Because the Earth is rich in free electrons (negatively charged particles), making physical contact with your bare feet and the conductive surfaces allows your body to absorb them.

Think about this… people who get a shock from touching doorknobs are positively charged. Typically, the person got the positive charge from sitting in a chair with a synthetic seat. That person was already charged by rising from a chair before walking around on insulation shoes, and finally a spark to the doorknob. Were people getting shocked 150 years ago like this?

Here is the paper I mentioned and this quote I felt was very compelling. Link is included at the bottom.

“It is thought that this discussion may help to realize that excessive positive electrization of the human body often contributes to the emergence of human diseases”

Abstract

Considering that the electric charge (potential) of water, the main component of the human body, largely determines its properties, it is shown here that the electrization of the human body can affect human health. In particular, it is shown that it is the negative electrization of the human body that can actually underlie the therapeutic effects of a number of therapeutic means, including such promising ones as hydrogen inhalations and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs).

So circling back to foot fetishes and kids wearing socks with sandals. Is this the foot fetishes communities fault? NO! We need to stop debating if something is bad or good that consenting adult are doing.

It happens all the time with the LGBT community. They are constantly scapegoated for harming children. And we end up debating LGBT people instead of addressing the harm being done to children. That’s exactly what made me want to think of some sexuality that had nothing to do with the queer community and show how anything can be used to harm children if that’s the goal.

I don’t understand foot fetishes but I don’t need to. I understand consenting adults.

One of the oldest tricks in the book if for power groups to scapegoat vulnerable ones for the harm they are actually causing.
