Aroused by What’s Beneath Her Feet

Imagine this: you and your girlfriend are walking through the woods. Looking over, you see her accidentally step on a few insects, causing her to reflexively scream “Oh, shit!” You’re glad for the screaming, though, because it covers up something else: your raggedy breath and the soft little moan that escaped your lips.

Soon, you overcome your embarrassment and ask a simple question: “Could…Could you do that again?” She looks at you in confusion, eyes widening as she sees the unmistakably huge erection in your shorts. Fortunately, her wide eyes narrow as her face splits into a grin. “Only if you take that monster out first,” she says, her voice husky as she gestures to your shorts.

You comply, taking your penis out and reflexively stroking. “Are you ready for it?”, she asks, foot poised over a new set of insects. “I want to hear you BEG.” She makes you plead over and over, your strokes intensifying as your voice starts to get hoarse.

Suddenly, she brings her foot down, the crunch echoing through the forest. The result is as messy as it is immediate, your cock coating your hands, shorts, and the dark soil with a veritable river of cum. “Good boy,” she says. “Looks like somebody has a new fetish!”

What Is a Crushing Fetish?

What if “put your foot down” had an entirely different meaning, one that made you sexually excited like almost nothing else?

There are more people out there than you might think who have crush fetishism. How does this work, exactly? Simply put, those with this unique fetish are sexually excited by the sight of someone squishing living creatures with their feet.

Compared to more common kinks, crush fetishism can be difficult to navigate because of the laws and ethical concerns surrounding the subject. Don’t worry, though: after you read our comprehensive guide, you’ll be able to practice this fetish in a safe, legal, and ethical way from the comfort of your own home!

How Does Erotic Crushing Work?

Whether you’re into it or repulsed by it, everyone has the same question when they hear about erotic crushing: how the heck is this supposed to work? In practice, though, this fetish is pretty straightforward…one person crushes living creatures like insects while another person watches and gets sexually excited.

Mechanically, it may take partners a bit of trial and error to get erotic crushing right. For example, it’s easy enough to crush bugs in a public setting, but it may be harder to engage in this sexual fetish in such settings. Conversely, it’s safer to pursue sexual gratification from this fetish at home, but it may be harder to, say, bring in live insects and crush them inside the house without making a mess.

However, a dedicated crush fetishist can find ways to make their wildest fantasies happen. And this guide can help you pull it off in style!

Is Crushing the Same As Torture Porn?

Perhaps the biggest misconception about a crushing fetish is that it is the same as torture porn. This isn’t the case, though. By definition, torture porn involves the prolonged torture of living creatures for the erotic enjoyment of others. Crushing, however, is just that: crushing something like bugs in a quick and decisive way.

It’s worth noting that actual torture porn or the crushing of living creatures other than insects is a violation of federal law. That’s a big part of why you need to be careful when practicing this fetish to stay well within the bounds of the law.

Hard Crushing, Soft Crushing, and the Law

In the world of crushing enthusiasts, there are two primary kinds of fetishists: those who like hard crushing and those who like soft crushing. What’s the difference? Soft crushing involves crushing invertebrates such as insects and hard crushing involves crushing animals such as mammals, reptiles, avians, and amphibians. Some with this fetish also enjoy object crushing, which simply refers to the crushing of inanimate objects.

Now, we cannot emphasize this enough: the practice of hard crushing is completely illegal because it is considered animal cruelty. Furthermore, the sale of hard crushing videos has been illegal in America since 2010. To practice this fetish safely, ethically, and legally, it is important to engage in soft or object crushing, leaving everything else a matter of roleplay.

Safe Ways To Simulate Crushing (and Convince Your Partner)

It is relatively easy and completely legal to practice soft or object crushing. To engage with a hard crush fetish, you must engage in roleplaying. Some partners will use things like stuffed animals to facilitate this fantasy while others simply prefer to talk about it as a very specific form of dirty talk.

Speaking of dirty talk and roleplaying, there are some crush fetishists who prefer to fantasize about themselves getting crushed. Playing this scenario out might involve one partner stepping on the other and the other partner crying out in fear and pain. However, to get your own partner on board with this, you need to know a bit more about how to broach the topic.

First, try figuring out what turns you on about this fetish. Is it seeing her wielding all this power, or maybe the sight of her shoes or bare soles in action? Next, be honest with her about why this turns you on and how much it would mean if she was willing to try it. If she’s hesitant about crushing insects, try introducing bug play, using props, or simply check out ideas on how to roleplay sexual fantasies together.

Remember the best advice for kinksters everywhere: all she can say is yes, no, or maybe, and two of those aren’t bad!
