Question 4 of 4 Researchers propose several explanations for how and why people develop foot fetishes. One of the first people to study these behaviors was Sigmund Freud, who believed that fetishes arose during early chiildhood. He suggested that when a chiild saw their mother’s genitals, they were shocked to find that their mother did not have a penis, leading to a fixation on objects or body parts that looked like penises. In the case of foot fetishes, Freud’s theory states that they occur because a person perceives the foot or toes as a penis substitute. Another hypothesis argues that they occur due to learning that being attracted to feet leads to a reward. Research suggests that people can link a typically non-erotic object or body part to arousal through positive feedback and a monetary prize. One researcher proposes that the fetish is due to sensory input in the brain. The neuroscientist Vilayanur Ramachandran suggests that the part of the brain that processes the sensation people get from feet is next to the area that perceives genital stimulation, which may account for some people’s foot fetishes. Which one of these guys do you believe has the most plausible hypothesis?
