The thing that got it started for me was the opening scene of the first American Pie

Socks and the men in them are the focal point of my sexuality. I like to say that I people watch , but more accurately I man watch, and more accurately still I sock watch. Hoping to get that glimpse of socked sole and imagining I can smell the slight odor of a hard working middle aged office worker as he airs out his tired toes. Commuter rail is amazing for this. One day, I spent my commute home massaging the polka dot and gray soles of an executive of some sort. My fingers smelt vaguely of cheese the rest of the night. I’ve desired socks before I even realized I was gay.

Socks are a fun way to collect the scent of masculinity. My sock and sneaker master taught me the only way to do it properly is being very active and letting them dry with patience. This is usually called "cooking". I've noticed myself the smell of sweat corresponds closely with our activities, moods and emotions, so I tend to use my white branded and fetish socks only when doing exercise... or when I know I'll be aroused. I consciously select the type and level of use/stink before a sex party, going to the gym, or simply going out to a bar. I layer more than one pair to multiply the effect and have started buying a full size bigger sneakers so I can fit up to 3 pairs. Honestly, I think there's few things hotter than men's smelly socks.

love seeing guys in socks, the physical form of the foot with socks over them is what I like. I fantasies over guys in socks, when looking at porn both stills and video socks will always get my attention over non socks. Add either fucking in socks or bondage and i am truly enjoying myself.

I love other men’s socks. Smelling them, getting gagged by them, touching them, it all makes me feel submissive which I love. It can be degrading and humiliating most of the time which again I love, but it can also be nice to just sit there and smell another man’s sock and get into a deeper subspace for him

I probably like socks because they work something like peacocking. That's probably why I prefer thigh-high socks; they are more prominent than shorter socks and entice me as would a well-hung cock.

Guys in sports socks with contrasting double or triple stripes at the trim are sexy. They imply sportiness and therefore health and fitness which are attractive, but they also suggest masculinity, maybe ruggedness and, essentially, a guy who's more likely dominant in bed.

I also like guys in black dress socks with sock garters. A guy who wears sock garters is probably a guy who wears suits (a symbol for power) and this all implies that he is skilled, detail-oriented, committed to what he does and goes the extra mile, etc. That's sexy to me because he'll probably fuck like a god.

I also like hunky guys in pantyhose or sheer socks because they emphasise muscles and their translucence are a cheeky little "peek under the hood", if you will. It's the same with fishnet stockings or even lace-trimmed stockings. They also "soften" him too and imply he is someone who embraces femininity. I find that masculine-feminine duality very, very attractive in an otherwise masculine guy.

I have specific socks that I like to wear when getting fucked. They are technically women's socks, but they don't particularly suggest anything about gender. They have a cable-knit look, are a little preppy and have a double stripe at the trim around my thighs. They make me feel innocent and docile, bendable to the commands of my sexual master. I suppose my socks reflect something about my sexual role, as my preferences in my partner's socks reflects something about my sexual type.

I don't share my sock kink with anyone. The few times I've had "sock moments" in sexual settings has been with the same guy.

I discovered most of what I like about socks through porn, but this survey has made me want to explore more of my fantasies in real life.
