Now, we've always encouraged people to explore their fantasies. The best way to do this is to have a good understanding of fetishes. One common fetish is altocalciphilia. Altocaliphilia is a fetish for footwear with high heels and has been present in society for centuries. The fetish is not limited to any particular gender and can be found in both men and women. We understand if you have more questions about this. To help you out, we will be discussing what altocalciphilia is, its origins, and the psychology behind it. 

What is altocalciphilia? 

Before anything else, it’s important that we define what this fetish actually is. Altocalciphilia, also known as high heel fetishism, is a sexual attraction to high-heeled shoes. The fetish can manifest as a desire to wear high heels, see others wear them, or touch, smell, and taste the shoes. The fetish can also include the sound of heels clicking on the floor or the sensation of the shoes on one's feet. 

A person with altocalciphilia may collect high heels, watch videos of people walking in high heels, or even purchase used high heels to satisfy their fetish. The fetish can range from mild to extreme and can be a part of a broader foot fetish. 

What are the origins of altocalciphilia? 

The origins of altocalciphilia are unclear, although it is believed to have been present in society for centuries. Ancient Egyptian murals depict men and women wearing high heels, suggesting that the fetish has been present for thousands of years. High heels were originally designed for men in the 16th century and later became popular among women. The fetish became more widely known in the 20th century with the rise of mass media and the depiction of high heels in popular culture. 

What is the psychology behind altocalciphilia? 

The psychology behind altocalciphilia is not well understood. However, it is believed that the fetish is related to the sexualization of feet and footwear. The foot is a highly sensitive part of the body, with many nerve endings that can be stimulated. High heels accentuate the shape of the foot and can make it appear more attractive, which can be sexually arousing for some individuals. 

The sound of heels clicking on the floor can also be sexually stimulating, as it can represent confidence and power. High heels can also represent femininity and can be used to explore gender roles and power dynamics in sexual relationships. 

Altocalciphilia can also be related to a desire for domination or submission. Wearing high heels can make a person feel more powerful and dominant, while seeing someone else wear high heels can be sexually arousing for those who enjoy being submissive. 

Conclusion 

We hope this discussion has helped further your understanding of high heels fetishism. All in all, the fetish can manifest as a desire to wear high heels, see others wear them, or touch, smell, and taste the shoes. The origins of the fetish are unclear, but it is believed to be related to the sexualization of feet and footwear. The fetish can be related to a desire for domination or submission and can be explored in sexual relationships.
