Hey thanks for the message...Yeah my father was big time into sports..he coached jr & sr football and hockey for many years in the minor level...I had 3 younger brothers that played football & hockey and he spent alot of time with them. I wasn't into sports as I could never understand what they guys were doing and was nevered shown. I always wondered if that was why he treated me that way, or maybe he thought I was gay...but I have to say it hurts talking about it here or anywhere..he has long passed away and left me out of his will....I did see a sexual theropist a few years back and explained to him in much greater detail what had gone on in my life and how I ended up with this fetish to smell mens socked feet and that I feel I have no identity as of who I am in society, and he told me that I needed to confront my father and tell him what he has done to me, (which I did), he told me that I have toi begin to tell myself that I love myself and to also remind myself that I love to smell mens socks. He also told me to try to get into a relationship with a female and make love to her by (bridging the gap) he told me, imagining myself smelling a mans socked feet while making love to her...which I did for a few years, until I began to realize that this wasn't love, it was a way to releive myself from smelling a mans sock....and ended the relationship...
