Sock Worship: Step Into This Foot-Related Fetish

We all know how popular the fetish for feet is (hello feet pics!), but did you know many kinksters have a thing for worshipping socks also? Indeed, whether used or fresh, sporty or stylish, socks can be super sexy, as Victoria Blisse discovers...

We often see foot fetish and associated kinks shown in the media as sexy and alluring; high heels, fishnets, stockings; these clothing items are often shortcuts to sexiness in film and TV characters. 
 

Indeed, these are popular fetishes within the kinky community, but one that is less-often embraced – but is equally as popular – is sock fetish. Indeed, with over 160,000,000 views for #socks on TikTok, there are plenty of kinksters who enjoy a bit of sock worship!

What does sock worship entail?

How do you express a deep desire for something? In the world of BDSM and fetish it’s often expressed as 'worship'. So, what does that look like? Worship commonly involves reverent touch and caress, from stroking and massaging with hands, to kissing, licking and sucking. 

“With over 160,000,000 views for #socks on TikTok, there are plenty of kinksters who enjoy a bit of sock worship!”

It can also be completely touch-free, perhaps by worshiping just by looking from a distance. Or maybe as part of a power exchange between the dominant sock wearer and the sock fetish submissive who has to beg to get what they desire.

Feet first: worshipping socks is a popular kink

There are loads of people into sock worship because there is such variety within the category of sock fetish:

• Fetish for wearing socks This can be a certain type, such as ankle socks, knee-high socks, or plain white ones that are often part of school uniforms, or socks in general.
   
• The visual appeal of socks It could be any kind of sock or very specific types, from sport socks, to those with bows and ribbons.
   
• Used socks fetish This is a popular kink; the look, feel, smell, and maybe even the taste of worn sock. The idea of feet inside these socks and the activities undertaken can be as much a part of the turn-on as the actual socks themselves.
   
• Cum in socks Socks filled with cum – or the act of filling them with cum – is also popular.
   
• Sports socks lovers  It’s the activity undertaken wearing the specific socks which appeals here. Having a lust for football players can lead to a love of footballers socks or tennis, hockey, gym socks, etc.

We have plenty of kinksters with a sock fetish here on fetish.com and FET, and they are especially active within our sock fetish forum. “I love to worship women in her really dirty smelly wet socks,” says fetish.com member shywolf3962. “I love people worshiping my feet and socks ;)” enthuses Twinkletoes_s.

Sock worship is varied and enjoyed by many people of all genders and sexualities,. Saying that, there is a particular fandom amongst gay men, though this often leans towards sports socks and can be a subset of sports gear fetish or used socks fetish.

Ways to try sock worship

Find socks sexy? Here are a few ways you can dabble in sock worship:

• Look at socks on a person and masturbate.
• Admire socks on a dominant who makes you describe why they’re sexy and how much you want them.
• Have someone stand on you in socks or place their socked-foot over your face/in your mouth.
• Stroke and/or massage feet in socks.
• Come on socks while they are being worn or come inside used socks.

A pair of sock lovers: there are many ways to indulge in sock worship

Where can I find or sell used socks online?

There are several options for buying or selling your used socks online to cater to those with a sock fetish.

Ebay allows the sale of used socks but you need to check the specifics of the listing. There are certain terms (for example, ‘18+’ and ‘fetish’) that can’t be used. It has a huge worldwide reach and so it can be worth going to these lengths to sell to a wider audience of those people into sock worship. 

 

“Worship commonly involves reverent touch and caress, from stroking and massaging with hands, to kissing, licking and sucking.”

Allthingsworn is a site specifically aimed at selling and buying used items of clothing including used socks. The site is very sock fetish friendly. It’s free to sign up but to sell effectively, a premium seller account is needed.

There are specific used sock selling sites too. If you’re looking for a specific style of sock to fulfil your specific sock fetish, then this might be the best avenue to pursue.
 

Finally, social media can work for selling used socks too. Instagram and Twitter are two platforms that can be used, but again, you need to be aware of their adult material policies and make sure to keep within the rules.

The final FET: sock worship

Sock fetish can mean different things to different people. It’s full of varied ways to enjoy the kink and have fetish fun. Sock worship is equally as varied so you can find exactly the expression of your sock fetish that fulfils your heart’s desire. 

Sock it to other foot and sock fetish fans by adding it to your profile. Join in the conversations of sock worship over on the fetish.com forums too. What kind of socks do you like and do you enjoy worshiping or being worshiped? •
