About this listen

How did early sexologists convince us that loving feet is deviant? Why did feet show up in poetry written during a medieval outbreak of gonorrhoea? And what did Victorian lesbians make of all this?

These are the questions thrusting Adam Zmith into a history of toe-botherers who will guide you through sex archives, online forums and a millennium of art, all with his trademark queer lens.
Solemates brings to light the history of this peculiarly popular kink. From Tarantino films to Greek love poems, Renaissance paintings to OnlyFans, Solemates is the rich and messy tale of our obsession with everything below the ankle—and what it reveals about how we view our bodies and our sex lives.
