Curious about hooves.
10 years ago
So I'm sitting here planning out an equine TF, and I find my brain lingering on hooves. One of the characters has a thing for feet, not quite to fetishistic levels, but certainly an erotic appreciation of them, and I started comparing that to hooves. Would that carry over through a TF? How comparable are hooves to traditional, plantigrade, five-toed feet? I'm as familiar with the structure of an odd-toed unguligrade hoof as I am with the structure of the rest of a horse's body, which is a fair amount, I like to think, but I still find myself musing on the subject. Are hoof-fetishists a thing? I mean... I know this is the Internet, and it would be difficult to find a more appropriate place for such a casual question directed toward people who get off on the foot of an ungulate, and I know that everything is a fetish for someone, but how prevalent is it? I tried googling "Hoof Fetish", but just got a mountain-and-a-half of My Little Pony smut, which, not to knock anyone's kinks, I feel isn't the best method for coming to a reasoned answer to my question. (Question is really too strong a word. It more of just an idle thought, really.)
Now, the feetses aren't my thing when it comes to erotic gratification, and you shouldn't really expect any foot-play from me more hardcore than that little bit between Valorie and Dawn from a while back, but I can't help but admit that I'm curious about the concept. So, to my handful of watchers, I ask innocently: What's up with horse feet? Are they alluring as part of a horse as a whole? Do they, alone, have their own appeal? I imagine a hoofjob would be at the least uncomfortable and at the worst, horrifically painful, but maybe I'm just plain wrong? I dunno, guys. This is just me wondering aloud, I guess. Just some stray thoughts I figured I'd go ahead and give voice to. I suppose that I don't even really expect any answers, so don't feel pressured to respond or anything.
I'm going to go back to writing horse-on-maybe-horse action.
Anyway, to be more topical, hooves themselves don't seem to carry the same fetishistic appeal as feet/paws (I'll never understand that one either) ~ they're usually associated with either pure bestial 'rawness', like "the animal inside". Or, they're seen as hard, masculine structures, often associated with crush/gore kinks.
That's a massive generalization of course, I'm sure there's outliers, there always is :D ~ But that's just what I've noticed.
Maybe there are other writers that can better separate themselves from what they write, but I get really into my writing, I have to, in order to make it enticing on an erotic level. I have to play up what I find attractive about a situation or character, bring it out for the reader to see with the same clarity. I suppose I should be thankful that my list of kinks if fairly broad as it is, but there are plenty of things that do not, in the least, hold any interest for me. I don't get foot fetishes, so how the heck am I supposed to make a foot fetish story sexy? Beats me.
That being said, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply. It's always a pleasure hearing from you.
