Funny things, feet. Most people don't realize that it's our feet, not our hands, that enabled the evolution of our intelligence - after all, all the OTHER apes have hands, and look where it gets them! (OK, orangutans are incomprehensible, let's not get into THAT!) And I cannot stand people touching my feet either but ... very little is as pleasant as a GOOD foot rub.Anecdote: In college a bunch of us, 2 men and 2 women, used to get together in one dorm room for group footrubs (sit in a square, each sitting tailor-fashion; then extend one leg so that everyone has someone's foot in their lap; rub). This involved a lot of oohing and AAAAAhing and No, harder!'s and stuff like that. We were really loud and enjoyed the reactions of the neighbors, who would practice eye aversion when we all came out again. It was great. I'm still in touch, ha ha, with all of them, too, which is more than I can say for some college friends...
