Footplay of various types is a common fetish.

Mayhaps... but there are some places I will NOT place my tongue...

Nadette is an ursamorph. She's showing bear ears and (apparently) a bear tongue.

Consider what bears EAT.

There was a picture representing the amount of Sensory Input the differing parts of the body represented in the brain.
here is one, but it under-represents the FEET;

That looks almost identical to the character Humonculus from Empowered. He wasn't in it very long, though.

Check the link, and a little bit more; they must have named the Character Humonculus on purpose...

I checked it before I posted, and I arrived at the same conclusion.

Well, Yes.

The Feet have almost the same capabilities as Hands do, but we don't train/utilize them as much during our formative and later years.

so you have monkey feet?? :D most people do not, and their senses are deadened by walking, and shoe use... :)

BTW, the human foot shown is distorted from wearing improperly fitted shoes. And almost all shoes are improperly fitted in the sense of causing that distortion.

If you think that your feet are deadened by walking on them, try stepping on a Lego brick, rough gravel, glass, or a bee.

Now, I grant you that the heel and ball of the foot will have really thick skin, unless you're one of those crazy people who grind that thickened skin away because it "isn't pretty."

I'd seen an advertisement for a kit for removing them. You put this cream on those areas, and once it's been on long enough, you take what looks like a cheese slicer and peel the calloused skin off, leaving the soft (and sensitive) skin. But I suppose if someone wants to put a substance that make skin come apart easily on one of the most sensitive parts of the body, go ahead.

When I joined the army, one of the first things they did was to trim off the half-inch-thick callouses that covered the entire the bottoms and sides of my feet. It was at least partly a matter of getting footwear to fit properly.

How did you get them to build up that thick? :shock:

I walk barefoot on gravel all the time, and they still don't even come close.
