What Is Toe Sucking?
Do you enjoy sucking on your lover’s toes? Or having your own toes sucked? Maybe you have not experienced toe sucking but are curious about what it is or why people do it.
Toe sucking is a relatively common erotic practice. It is, simply put, about sucking, licking, and biting on your partner’s toes, or having a partner suck on yours.
Sucking toes can be a specific fetish or kink of its own, or it can be part of an overall foot fetish, which is one of the most common and widespread fetishes known. But you don’t have to have a foot fetish or toe sucking fetish to experiment with it and enjoy it.
Toe sucking is also a common variation on sex and intimacy and part of foreplay, experimentation, and general touching between lovers.

You might explore a stroke, action, or fetish with a specific lover and enjoy that experience, but it doesn’t resonate the same way in another hookup or relationship.

Sucking on toes is one of many ways to explore sucking, and sucking is a natural, common, sexual act. We suck on nipples, labia, testicles, lips, tongues, ear lobes, neck, butt cheeks, fingers, and more. Why not toes?
Toe sucking can feel a little taboo, too, since people often hide their feet in shoes or socks, or leave them out of the sexual act.
While toe sucking and foot fetishes are common, they are less commonly sexual than breasts, mouth, pussy, and cock. So the hidden factor, or the social idea that feet are dirty or private, can contribute to eroticism the same way anything taboo or hidden does. For some, this is what amps up the arousal.
