Footjob
A sexual activity in which a person uses their feet to stimulate another person’s genitals. It is a form of partnered sexual touch.
Sexual consent: Freely given, informed, specific, and reversible agreement to sexual activity. Agreement should cover the activity and can be withdrawn at any time.
Erotic massage: Massage intended to create or enhance sexual arousal. It can include sensual touch of the feet, but is broader than genital stimulation with feet.
Handjob: A sexual activity in which a person uses their hand to stimulate another person’s genitals. It is the closest common comparison, differing mainly in the body part used.
Safer sex: Practices that reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Pregnancy is not caused by the act itself, while infection precautions may still matter.
Sexual communication: The exchange of information, preferences, and boundaries about sexual activity. Partners can discuss comfort, pressure, and limits before and during the activity.
Manual stimulation: Sexual stimulation of the genitals using the hands. It shares the goal of direct touch while using hands rather than feet.
Frottage: Sexual stimulation through rubbing bodies or body parts together, often without penetration. It can involve genital contact but does not specifically use feet to stimulate genitals.
Sex education: Education about sexuality, relationships, reproductive health, and sexual well-being. Accurate instruction can address consent, boundaries, and realistic health risks.
Sexual health: Physical, emotional, and social well-being in relation to sexuality. This activity is one part of broader sexual well-being and safer-sex decisions.
Foot fetishism: A sexual interest in feet or footwear that may contribute to arousal. Interest in feet may accompany this activity, but the two concepts are not equivalent.
