How To Give An Intensely Pleasurable Foot Job In 5 Steps

If your man has a foot fetish, you'll want to know how to deliver a genuinely great foot job. Don't be caught off guard if he admits to one, it's actually among the most common fetishes out there (and the full list runs long)

[1, 2 pp 89-110]. Its popularity may even trace back to how closely the brain's genital and foot-related regions sit together [3].

That said, plenty of people without a foot fetish still enjoy foot jobs (you might even like giving one without being into feet yourself), and they're not exclusively for men either. Keep reading to learn all of this and more.

These step-by-step instructions cover exactly what you need to give your man a genuinely satisfying foot job, every time.

1. Getting Prepared

Before diving in, a few things need attention first. Start with trimmed, filed toenails, no risk of accidentally catching or nicking the delicate skin of his penis or testicles.

Next, make sure your feet are clean and odor-free. Nothing kills the mood during a foot job faster than the smell of unwashed feet. Give them a thorough scrub beforehand.

Filing them smooth helps too. A professional pedicure works, or you can DIY it, soak briefly, then file, finishing with lotion for soft, pleasant-smelling feet.

While you can handle all this prep solo, it also works beautifully folded into foreplay. Have him wash and dry your feet before applying lotion, genuinely intimate and relaxing, and it ties in nicely with foot worship or femdom dynamics.

If prep-as-foreplay appeals to you, consider adding nail painting too. Having someone focus that closely on you builds real connection and makes you feel valued. Go for opaque, fast-drying polish so two coats are manageable, quick-dry topcoats or drops shrink hours down to minutes. Still, watch for smudges or spills.

Once your feet feel genuinely clean, it's time for some foot-based foreplay.

2. Foot Foreplay

Foot foreplay is simple enough. Start by slowly trailing your feet across his body, using them to massage him while lying down together. Or take a more dominant stance, sit in a chair while he lies on his back, or sit on the bed while he stays flat. A few tries will reveal which positions you both genuinely enjoy.

While moving your feet over him, try slipping a toe or two into his mouth for him to suck on. Then slowly drag your feet down toward his crotch, rub his inner thighs, and carefully work one or both feet toward his testicles. Massage them gently, slow pressure, release, repeat, occasionally using your toes to tickle them lightly.

A little massage oil helps your feet glide smoothly. No oil handy? Olive or coconut oil from the kitchen works fine. Skip lotion, it tends to get sticky. Silicone lube is a solid backup option.

Learn all about the uses of lube.

Kissing and licking your feet can round out the foreplay too.

After a few minutes of this, you're ready to move into the actual foot job.

3. The Foot Job Itself

Any part of your foot can technically deliver a foot job, but most find the sole works best, since it bends alongside your toes. Unless noted otherwise, assume the sole here.

Start by pressing his penis against his stomach with your sole, whether he's lying, sitting, or standing in a reachable position. Slowly rub up and down along the underside, targeting the corpus spongiosum and frenulum. Follow with your toes, even spreading them to hold his shaft between them.

After a bit, use both feet together to "grab" his penis between your soles, then start an up-and-down motion, basically a hand job using your feet instead. Don't stress if he slips loose occasionally, your feet simply aren't as practiced or dexterous as your hands yet. Keep going until he reaches orgasm.

A few variations worth trying:

• Press with one foot while stroking with the other.
• Have him suck the toes of one foot while the other does the work.
• Let him finish on your toes or feet, keep a cloth handy, or do this in the shower for easy cleanup.
• Press your toes against his perineum (between penis and anus) for an external prostate massage.
• Talk dirty while you work. Dirty talk enhances basically any sexual activity.
• Add a blindfold or light restraint to heat things up further. Check out our guide to light bondage.
• Spread your toes around his shaft for stroking, easiest with long, flexible toes.

Erotic media can spark ideas too, foot jobs have been a fixture on screen since the 1980s [4], plenty of inspiration out there.

If your soles tire out, switch to other parts, the heel delivers focused pressure, the flat sole spreads sensation broadly, and toe tips work well for pinpoint pressure. Shifting your leg position adds variety too.

While this section focuses on his penis, remember your feet can explore elsewhere too. Your toes can even penetrate him anally, not for everyone, but worth mentioning. Open conversation about what you each want to try matters enormously here (Read: How to Have Better Sex).

Important: Use Sexual Communication for Complete Sexual Fulfillment

His balls are fair game too. Massage gently between the top of one foot and the bottom of the other, or use one foot to lift them toward his penis. If he enjoys a bit of pain mixed in, try a gentle toe pinch, or press with the ball of your foot or a shoe heel. Speaking of which, that's the topic ahead, though anything involving pain should always be discussed beforehand.

4. Foot Jobs With Shoes On?

Some with a strong foot fetish love keeping shoes on during a foot job, totally fine as long as he's on board. The main risk with shoes is a higher chance of accidentally hurting him.

Choose soft, sleek footwear, leather or a smooth patent pump work well. Picking a dedicated pair together for this exact purpose isn't unusual, and don't be surprised if just seeing those shoes on you gets him going.

Skip your stinky gym sneakers (unless that's specifically the appeal). Watch out for grommets, buckles, or Velcro, all uncomfortable if they catch his skin. Your usual angle may need adjusting to work around footwear.

If the shoes have actually been worn outdoors, avoid using the sole directly, it's covered in bacteria (yes, men can get infections too). Check the tread as well, unless discomfort is the goal, a smoother or flat sole tends to work best for a foot job.

5. Foot Jobs For Her

Less common, but plenty of women enjoy foot stimulation on their vulva and clitoris too. Try grinding a heel against her clitoris for intense sensation. Some women masturbate similarly, deeply bending a leg and resting on their heel while kneeling for direct clitoral pressure.

Check out this post with more masturbation techniques if you want to branch out further.

Penetration is possible too, the big toe is easiest for vaginal or anal insertion. Smooth, filed nails are essential here, and lube is a smart addition.

If you want to be on the receiving end, bring it up with your partner. It's an easier conversation if you've already explored foot play together, but you can raise it even if he hasn't. Try suggesting you both list a few things you'd like to try in bed, with a foot job as one item, giving you both a chance to explore something new.

Or, if you're already grinding against his leg in bed, slide further down toward his foot and gauge his reaction.

And that covers how to give (and receive) a great foot job. Experiment together to find the positions and techniques you both enjoy most, he might especially love it if you're wearing tights while doing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ #1 – Do you need a foot fetish to enjoy giving or receiving foot jobs?

Not at all. Pleasure can come from countless body parts and tools alike. If it feels good and harms no one, there's no reason to hold back.

FAQ #2 – Should I worry about bacteria while giving a foot job?

Not a major concern, but cleaning your feet beforehand is still smart. Different body regions host different bacteria [5], and feet are prone to fungal infections (Athlete's foot being a common one [6]). Skip it entirely if you're dealing with any infection yourself, or your partner has a genital infection, especially with any open cuts on your feet.

FAQ #3 – How should I prep my feet beforehand?

A full pedicure isn't strictly necessary, though it covers the cleaning and filing that keeps skin and nails smooth. An at-home version helps avoid infection risk from salon tools [7]. Scrub thoroughly, between the toes too, and smooth any rough patches on the soles. Finish with a moisturizing lotion once clean and dry.

Nail color is entirely your call, something enticing for your partner, or bare and natural. Add lube to your feet or his penis for extra smoothness.
