Excerpts from a dictionary of crime:
-A man who would hold pre-pubescent girls at knifepoint on their way home from school, ordering them to take off their shoes and socks. He then licked their toes and ran off
-The panty bandit - a man who would rob stores, order women to take off their panties and run off.

sighs. how do they get to the point of stooping to these crimes?
Heya Melanie
A really good question - and an interesting answer. Most psychologists think fetishes are mostly learned associations.
When a duck is born, it becomes really attached to the first moving object it sees, and forever believes it to be its mother - whether that object was a human or a milk bottle.
Fetishes seem to work in the same way, in a twisted sense...People become fixated on things.
Power and violence fetishes and feet fetishes seem to be pretty common, although the particular combination of violent expression of power with the foot fetish seems absurd.
Mmm.
makes sense, but in a paradoxical manner.
The established idea of power or the commonly held view of such is that the power position is usually indicated by the one holding the reins, fun, knife, the decision making...etc. Not the position at the base of your feet, licking them.
Such people who can only get off by using and exercising 'power', by way of 'violence-->the knife'/gun' and then voluntarily seeking to 'abase' themselves only show that they really have learnt the associations all wrong. They are probably very confused people, in the sense that they have not learnt the same norms and standards that the majority of people in society have.
In this scenario:
Power= taking another person's choice away by way of threat to other person's life.
Power = choosing to lick another person's feeet without their permission.
The confusion here is that the person with the fetish has learnt it wrong. His/her choice is expressing that power has gotten mixed up along the way as they had grown up and learnt their associations.
heh.
need to edit this bit :
"power indicated...holding the reins, GUN..." (haha. not 'Fun')
Freudian slip?
heh.
