Berg's Queer Foot Porn

If you’ve lost your sense of humor about sex lately, Berg's Queer Foot Porn will help you get it back.

Women are indisputably objectified in mainstream pornography and are constantly told what’s sexually acceptable—leaving little room for reality or a holistic view of sexuality. In a subversive effort to retaliate, Berg and her co-authors created a site full of campy, voyeuristic galleries of foot pornography. Coupled with thoughtfully paired quotes from Maya Angelou to Davy Crockett to Rumi, Berg’s website takes it a step above camp and closer to artful expression.

At first glance, one might think Bergs Queer Foot Porn as silly and somewhat of a joke. But at closer inspection, it is a refreshing presentation of sexuality without the confines of typical, mainstream sex roles (or body parts). In fact, in many photos the lines of gender blur as you can’t tell what foot is from a female or male (although the toe hair may give it away in some cases).

Berg could be onto something in planting the seed for freeing up our ideas of sexual expression. In confession, not long after visiting Berg’s site, I seduced my partner the other night… with my feet.
