A married polyamorous woman describes her first paid foot modeling session for a fetishist photographer.
This episode of the Savage Lovecast features an interview with Marie on the After Action Report segment, where listeners share new sexual experiences. Marie is a married polyamorous woman in her mid-50s from a mid-Atlantic city, retired after selling her small business. She explains that she and her husband have been in an open relationship since they met through the bi community. The main story revolves around Marie's first foray into sex work as a foot model. She details how a photographer with a foot fetish contacted her on FetLife after seeing her RSVP for a kink conference in the Midwest. Marie emphasizes safety practices, asking for references and verifying his identity. She negotiated the payment from $100 to $150, factoring in a pedicure cost, and they met in the hotel lobby before the shoot. During the hour-long session, the photographer had her pose in various foot positions while expressing intense admiration for her feet. He revealed that his fetish developed from rubbing his exhausted single mother's feet as a child, leading to a preference for middle-aged women's feet with features like wrinkles and bunions. Marie found the experience positive and would do it again, though the photographer noted that many in the foot fetish community are not respectful. After several months, he sent her about 10 photos, which allowed her to see the bottoms of her feet for the first time. Dan Savage concludes by praising Marie's approach to safety and negotiation, encouraging listeners to share their own stories.
