I Always Keep My Socks on During Sex

Apparently, that’s controversial

When I was twelve years old, the way I look at my feet changed completely.

I never really gave much thought to my feet or how they looked. I liked wearing cool socks, but that was about it.

One day, I wore toe socks to school (because tweens gonna tween). Some other kid looked at my feet in them and casually said, “Your toes look weird.”

Boom.

That was it. One comment, off the cuff as can be, and I went from just having feet to hating them.

I’ve been self-conscious about them ever since.

I avoid taking off my socks or showing my feet whenever I can. I don’t let it run my life. If I go swimming, I go barefoot. I don’t put my socks on to walk from the bathroom to the bedroom after I shower.

But except for that one time I fucked Mr. Austin in a pool and the handful of times I had shower sex, I have kept my socks on during sex.

Leave My Socks On, Sir!

Keeping my socks on during sex was always a non-issue. Most of the guys I fucked didn’t even try to take my shirt off, so they really didn’t give a shit about what I had on my feet.

When I met Mr. Austin, a lot of things changed about my sex life (for the better!) but socks wasn’t one of them.

He takes my shirt off whenever he can, but he’s never tried to pull my socks off. He doesn’t have a thing for feet and he’s told me that he thinks naked with socks is a great look on a gal.

It only became an issue when we let someone else into our bedroom.

One of our friends learned that I hated my feet, so he made it his personal mission to get a glimpse of them.

I wouldn’t let him. It was socks all the way, and even when he’d spend a week at our place, I managed to avoid being barefoot except when I was behind a locked door.

I was doing a great job keeping the mystery alive. But I let my guard down when I fucked him.

I was stroking his cock while Mr. Austin was working his fingers on my clit and licking my nipples (he’s a good multitasker). And then he got bold. He reached for my feet and pulled my socks off.

Woah. Time out.

I full-on paused the threesome and grabbed my socks from his hand. I refused to proceed until my feet were covered again. I sat on the edge of bed, carefully putting my socks back on while two naked guys waited for me to be done.

I really wanted to have a good time with them, but a girl’s gotta have some principles.

Thankfully, he stopped trying, and we could all go back to making each other come. And I could go back to carefree life of socks-on sex.

Why I Love Keeping My Socks on During Sex

I thought keeping socks on during sex was kind of a normal thing, but it turns out it’s pretty controversial. There are people on both sides of the socks on during sex divide online and they have some very strong feelings about it.

That got me wondering why I love keeping my socks on when I’m getting frisky. Obviously, there’s the whole self-conscious thing. But it’s more than that. Even if I got over my negative feelings about my feet, I’m pretty sure I would still stay socked. And I’ve narrowed it down to three reasons.

I Love the Warmth

Staying warm is a challenge for me. Women run cold as it is, but I have hypothyroidism which keeps me even chillier.

I have a hard time recovering from it, too. If I get really cold, it can take me a very long time to warm up, even if the room has.

You’d think I’d just have gotten used to it by now, but nope. One of life’s little cruelties is that I love being warm while my body insists on being a flesh icicle.

My feet are ground zero for me getting cold, so socks are a necessity. If I don’t have them on, I’ll feel chilly and that will make it harder for me to get (and stay) in the mood.

It Makes It Easier to Have an Orgasm

Okay, hear me out on this one. I know it might sound weird, but I’m pretty sure I would struggle to have an orgasm if I didn’t have my socks on.

There are two things I need to have an orgasm (other than all the physical stimulation): comfort and concentration.

If I’m uncomfortable or part of my mind is elsewhere, I won’t have the focus I need to get myself to a climax.

I’m a very socky person in general. I feel good in them and I feel kind of naked without them (but not in a good way). When my feet are bare, it feels like something is missing. Not wearing socks during sex would be kind of distracting, and that would make it more difficult for me to come (and come hard).

There’s a study out there that backs me up, though it’s kind of shanky (it only looked at 13 couples). Maybe it’s just a random correlation. But maybe — just maybe — I’m not the only one who has an easier time climaxing with socks on.

Ladies Look Good in Socks

I think I look better with my socks on. And not just me, but women in general.

There’s just something so attractive about a naked woman in cute socks.

Mr. Austin’s right, it’s a good look.

I don’t own any lingerie, but I like to think my socks make up for that a bit. I like getting cute ones, and I’ve got my eye on some knee-high ones that might really take my naked game up a bit.

Sorry Fellas, It Seems to Be a Double Standard

There’s one exception to the socks on during sex rule: guys.

If there’s one consensus in the sex with socks debate it’s that guys look kind of ridiculous when they’ve stripped everything but their socks.

Even the one article I found where a guy defends his socks-during-sex habit mentions that his wife wishes he just wouldn’t.

I’m sure there are exceptions out there, because I’ve found some tumblr pages dedicated to naked men in socks. But in general, women seem to fall into the “please take those off, honey” camp.

I can’t say I have a strong stance. I prefer men naked all the way, but I wouldn’t make a fuss if Mr. Austin decided to keep his on.

But then again, sex isn’t super visual for me. I take my glasses off during foreplay and then I’m quasi-blind. If Mr. Austin’s socks were on, I wouldn’t know unless his feet brushed against me.

But judging from what I’ve seen online, not every woman is so forgiving. So, you might want to check in with your partner before you walk into the bedroom wearing only tube socks.

You Do You, Boo

Wearing socks is a big deal to me, but it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. If you prefer stripping them off along with the rest of your clothes, I won’t fight you.

But until I have a hot tub, I’m going to keep mine on. I have a feeling I’ll be a socks on during sex kind of gal for life. And besides, I haven’t figured out a sexy way to strip them off (I’m not sure there is one), so that’s probably for the best.
