I have to aggre with the majority…socks on during sex? No so sexy. ---

Okay, okay…I have to confess (though I suppose **FaerieBeth** did it for me) that I enjoy carnal relations with my socks on. My feet are just really dry, and it just feels better to have them on…if FB asked me to take them off, I would, though. Of course, I have somewhat of an anti-foot fetish…I think that decent people should cover their feet at all times…preferably in sexy anklet socks or stockings…or hose…in strappy heels, or clunky black shoes with think heels and… er…nevermind. I will agree though, that dress socks look a bit more silly than plain white athletic socks, especially if the whites socks stop at the ankle, like mine do. calf-height argyle doesn’t set the blood racing, I know. ---

**White** socks are quite possibly the worst socks to wear during sex. I dunno why the white ones bug me so much. Prolly cause I’ve usually only seen the white ones in porn. And they make me laugh. Before our roomie moved in, it was perpetual Nekkid Time in my apt. I wouldn’t even let my BoyToy walk around wearing only socks. Feet cold? Put on some pants and then your socks. Sometimes he’d walk around with only socks on just to fuck with me. `Course, sometimes he’d also put on my undies. Strange boy. Loves getting the “What the fuck?” look. ---

Just a thought 🙂 ---

I’m with **Goo** on this one!!! I suffer really quite badly from the cold in winter (“Raynaud’s Syndrome”) so I’m sure as HELL gonna keep my toesies all toasty in a pair of cute lil’ (FRESH!!!) socks while …er… “doing stuff” HECK!!! I’d wear GLOVES if I could get away with it!!! … I’d consider taking the duffle coat, hat and scarf off if the SO asks nicely… 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/should-i-take-my-socks-off-during-sex/217588.md?page=3)
