Partner and feet photos

[palermosun]

My partner and I are both in our 50s. We’ve been together for a few years and are thinking of moving in together. Objectively, he’s in a much better financial position, and is about to retire. My finances are modest but I can support myself. I work full time.
Recently, he’s been talking a lot about extra source of income, how he’d like me to work less and have more time for the relationship.
One of his ideas is to start selling my feet photos online. He’s been quite vocal about it and it finally dawned on me that he really means it.
I’ve now formed my own opinion about it, but I’d be curious to know your thoughts.

Short answer: no

long answer: fuck, no.

Lol. Everyone and their dog is doing this, you’d have to do something really special to stand out. And by that I mean v sexual stuff. I mean your call but I think I’d cringe myself inside out doing sexual stuff with my feet for money. I guess he doesn’t want to support you and is worried he may have to, so in desperation thinks you should do this. Poor you.

Does he sell photos of his feet? He could pretend they belong to a woman (if it’s men buy pics of women’s feet). If he has large feet I am sure some men have fetishes for large ladies feet.

If he’s not prepared to do it why not?

Use your feet to run quickly away.

So he wants to effectivly prostitute you out while acting as your pimp.

Yeah, that would be the end of that relationship!

I know someone who puts her feet in all kinds of things on OFs and while she makes a lot of money she also has to put a ton of effort, time and money in. It costs her a small fortune keeping her feet looking so nice.

Nice try

Unless you’re willing to do disgusting things you’ve missed the boat

It is making me rethink the whole relationship. And yes, apart from feeling objectified, I feel that if he really cared, he’d find ways of how HE can make extra income so that we can have more free time together. I already work full time. Ugh.

I actually don’t think he’s objectifying you other than your feet. In fact I think it’s quite offensive like he only thinks you could sell your feet and have no other way of making money to support yourself. I don’t know if he thinks you’ve nice feet or they are so bad some weirdos will like them, but the message is clear he doesn’t wish to use his money to support you so is desperately trying to think of ways you could make money,

there are so many people doing this now, I know as I’ve a young relative who looked into it as she struggles for money and the only way to stand out is to get proper sexual with your feet and I mean filthy disgusting stuff as the rest everyone else is doing.

who exactly does he think is going to be handing over oodles of cash to see your feet. I’m the same age, and honestly no one is paying money for pretty pictures of middle aged women’s feet.

Personally, I don't have a problem with it. The only thing that would stop me is the amount of work it takes (like any small business). So, I would only agree to do it if he was the one running all the operational side of it and we split profits accordingly.
Or if wants to run operations and not charge me for his services and I keep all the dosh... that works too.

However, I think you will quickly find that it's not much of a gold mine. Wouldn't bet on early retirement any time soon.

I worked with a woman who sold used shoes in Ebay. Well worn, sweaty, smelly ... she made quite a bit, friends used to give her their old shoes. True!

What do you mean "puts her feet in all kinds of things"?! I'm slightly disgusted but also intrigued😂

the only way to stand out is to get proper sexual with your feet and I mean filthy disgusting stuff as the rest everyone else is doing.

What?! What is going on out there?! How can you get "proper sexual" with your feet?! 😆

It's some sort of fetish thing, isn't it?

It is a fetish thing and that’s why I’m now feeling super uncomfortable, to say it mildly, with it all. I have no desire to even entertain the thought of satisfying other men’s kinks with the images of my mature feet 😂.

I love my feet but they're mine, for me. 😄

I mean you can start by sending him this one. I mean surely if you're both working and can support yourselves financially you don't to resort to any of this. I always think that these kind of people can be bought with money and have no morals, as in if someone offered them money to video or take pictures of you naked he would. I would say run for the hills. Also it just dawned on me, they ate your bloody feet so why should he even get a cut out of it if it's you that's doing kt 😂

Does he have a foot fetish? I mean mentioning it once as a suggestion for generating income is one thing but repeatedly would make me think he has that fetish himself.

Your original post makes it sound like you already have feet pics? If you do who did you do them for?

It was him and now he wants to put them online it's just plain yuk. And you should put your foot down (sorry).

He doesn’t have feet fetish and I’ve never put my feet pictures online. I don’t really take photos of my feet! It comes from his very pragmatic approach to life that in this instance is stretching a bit too far.

"he’d like me to work less and have more time for the relationship.

This is all about what HE wants. What do YOU want? Do you feel you need to put more time into the relationship? What does he mean by that? What would that time be spent doing?
Do you really want to spend time making pictures of your feet and marketing them to fetishists? I'd bet my house that you'd not have considered this if he wasn't trying to persuade you to do it.

The fact that he's being "vocal" about it is a red flag. I don't believe this is just him being pragmatic, all of this stinks of control. You're wise to reconsider the relationship, and moving in with him would be very risky. Keep your reliable income from your full time job and tell him you don't want or need to work less to spend more time on him. If he doesn't like that and continues to be "vocal", you know the answer.

This is a type of sex work. Not as revealing as bikini photos of yourself, but men will be wanking to those photos.

You call his attitude pragmatic, but one could equally call this exploitative, uncaring, and empathetic. Also I think he's a bit delusional if he thinks you'll make a lot of money out of this, or even a few hundred. There are thousands of women globally doing the same online. One can even generate such images now with A.I. It's no longer the 1970s!!

@FictionalCharacter all valid points and that’s what’s been going through my mind. I’d like to have more time for the relationship but this is not the way. So far, he’s been a great partner so this came out of the blue, and is disappointing. I’m perfectly able to provide for myself and live within my means. It would be of course lovely to share the load with someone, but that’s not how I want my partner to show up in our relationship.

So he is at the stage he can retire, you can support yourself regardless, and his only idea for you to spend more time together is for you to sell pics of your feet.
Sorry OP, but that’s just a bloody weird suggestion.

If he doesn't have foot fetish where did it even come from? Totally bizarre. do you have particularly lovely or sexy feet (whatever that may be)?
