Solemates

'Just as Zmith’s book Deep Sniff has been my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to inhale literary queer pleasure, his new treat Solemates is now my top reader suggestion for the history, artistry, and indulgence of fetishism in general, and for feet in particular. Insightful, hedonistic, exposing, and irrepressibly horny as all great sex writing should be. Press this book into your face like freshly pedicured toes or huff it like a used gym sock — whatever gets you going — just don’t miss it!'

-- Tina Horn, author of Why Are People Into That: A Cultural Investigation of Kink

'As a sex columnist of over a decade, I make the distinction between fetishists and foot fetishists, because the guys who are into feet don't just love your little piggies; they go absolutely ape-shit for them. The touch. The smell. The visuals. Solemates will not only be a fun and sexy read for foot fetishists, but you're going to learn about the deep history of foot fetishes, and in the process, may learn a thing or two about yourselves (and your desires).'

-- Zachary Zane, author of Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto

'Adam Zmith’s book, Solemates, is a delightful stroll through the history of the foot fetish. Zmith tip toes through scientific and artistic treatments of feet as erotic objects. He considers his own love of being stepped on by intimate partners and includes a variety of contemporary perspectives on how a fondness for feet continues to be a vector of social exclusion, even as it creates opportunities for community formation among foot fanatics. A unique and intriguing sexual history that will sate your curiosity whether or not you love to love feet.'
