"Do you sell pictures of your feet?" The latest joke (and business) in fashion on social networks

If you're a regular on social networks, you've probably been surprised in recent weeks to see that in some thread on whatever subject, out of nowhere, someone asks another (usually another): "Do you sell photos of your feet?". It has become something similar, although with a very different meaning, to what in its day was that of "what if you want a bag".

Although it is difficult in the stormy world of Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, etc, to find the origin of a trend, the fashion of this question seems to come from an anonymous Instagram account that went viral for offering substantial amounts of money in exchange for the sending bare feet photos.

From that moment it is already a catchphrase that is used in the most unexpected situations and almost always with the aim of causing surprise, bewilderment or laughter in others.

Doing a simple search on Twitter for "do you sell photos of your feet" anyone can check the volume of use of the question in question.

Although it is now a recurring humorous phrase in conversations on social networks, the trend is far from new. A year ago this youtuber counted the amount of money she had earned selling photos of her pinreles on Onlyfans:

Specific websites and apps for the most viral fetish

Foot fetishism or footfetish, which basically consists of seeing, smelling, caressing, kissing, licking or sucking feet is now, never better said, on everyone's lips. Studies say that 92% of foot fetishists are men who are attracted to female feet. Only 1.76% of women say they feel aroused by men's feet.

The fact is that, by becoming fashionable this summer, the sale of photos of feet has become quite a business. Some models have seen their checking account increase significantly thanks to this podophilia of some men, willing to pay large sums of money in exchange for photographs or videos of bare feet, something that causes less hesitation to show than other parts of the body. A well-priced foot model (that is, one that is popular on the networks) can earn between 50 and 1,000 euros per hour, which is said soon.

In Amazon Spain, the most realistic silicone feet are already sold ("so real that it can scare", reads the product description) for those who want to give rein to their passion and have no one with... They are not cheap, since later.

In the heat of money, businesses always spring up. And that is why, apart from Facebook groups and Instagram accounts dedicated to feet, there are already several apps and websites dedicated exclusively to conveying these relationships between sellers and buyers, which include premium plans, live chats and endless options: Instafeet, FeetFinder, Dollarfeet...

A comfortable and lucrative way to put the world at your feet without leaving home and, yes, moving a finger or two.
