FOREPLAY AND HANDJOB FOOT FETISH POSITION.
Welcome to the guide for the Praying Mantis foot fetish position found in Rhea Hayworth’s and Vanesa Perez’s Footsutra.
The Praying Mantis foot fetish position begins with the boy on his hands and knees. The girl then mounts him backward and places her feet into his face. Once the girl is positioned correctly, with her feet and soles covering the boy’s face, the boy rises up onto his knees.

Position Description
In the Praying Mantis foot fetish sex position, the boy worships her feet while on his knees. The Praying Mantis, named by Nessy, is because of someone being on their knees in prayer, usually praising someone else or during worship or religious services. This position also resembles the Praying Mantis insect and is another reason for the name. The boy supports the girl’s legs by grabbing them and the girl uses her hands and arms to maintain balance.
In this foot fetish position, the boy engages in foot fetish sex by receiving hand jobs and stroking from the girl. Furthermore, the Praying Mantis is a worship type of foot fetish session with foot fetish games and foot fetish toys. This is a great foot fetish experience that involves femdom sex positions and leads to foot fetish cum and orgasm.
Uniqueness of the Praying Mantis
The Praying Mantis is a unique position that is part of the Guillotine Arc. This foot fetish position leads to the Eden position due to ease of transition.
This foot fetish position forces the boy on his knees, worshiping feet. The overall position remains the same as the Guillotine; however, the Praying Mantis has the boy on his knees. With her feet in his face or at least within his line of sight. Height differences may limit the ability of some couples to perform this foot fetish position effectively.
Furthermore, the reverse riding position remains the same as if the boy was down on his hands and knees. As a reminder, the girl starts in a horse-riding position, but in reverse, she faces the opposite direction. Using momentum, the girl can help the boy up onto his knees. For example, the girl can push up, both with her feet and legs. Both of her soles should cover the boy’s face even during the transition.
Praying Mantis Setup Techniques

Foot fetish setup techniques are specific actions, movements, and/or a combination of commands that force a boy into the Praying Mantis foot fetish position.
Setup Techniques for the Praying Mantis prove difficult because of the position itself. It is nearly impossible to enter the position cold or enter the position without transitioning from another position (such as the Guillotine). If some of you happen to come up with a setup technique for this position, I would be interested in hearing or witnessing it. More information on Setup Techniques will be included when they are discovered.
Setup Technique #1: Gymnastic Lock (Update 01/2021)
One possible method to enter this foot fetish sex position is the girl using a handstand. Once in the handstand, the girl may be able to angle and adjust herself to sort of “lock” if the boy presented on his knees nearby.
A possible setup technique for the Praying Mantis position would involve a bit of trickery and cunning. While there is no name for this specific setup technique, a girl asking for help with certain yoga positions could yield a setup for the Praying Mantis.
For example, the girl could ask the boy, friend, husband, etc., for help arching her back, moving her legs up, or something that would allow her to engage the Praying Mantis position. However, this has never occurred in the wild.

Praying Mantis Erotic Techniques and Illustration #2
Foot Fetish Erotic Techniques are specific actions, movements, stroking, or sucking abilities that force a boy to orgasm inside the Praying Mantis. While Erotic Techniques are mainly performed by the girl, the boy may also partake to make himself orgasm in any Footsutra position.

Erotic Technique #1: All Rise
Instead of being on his knees, the All Rise erotic technique puts the boy on his feet. In essence, the boy rises up from his knees up onto his feet and stands while the girl maintains the position. The images below demonstrate the correct position for the All Rise erotic technique:
Overall, it is in this position that the boy is closest to Eden, where the girl drives control of the boy using her feet. In this erotic technique, the girl reaches around and starts to stroke the boy’s penis. Should the boy be clothed, she drops his pants and boxers to expose his penis if needed. The girl continues to stroke while slapping his face with the soles of her feet. Furthermore, the girl has access to the boy’s butt and hole, another possible source of pleasure, or punishment should the boy not worship the girl’s feet to her liking. Once the transition from kneeling to standing occurs, the boy has a full erection, and the girl either drops his pants (if clothed) and strokes.
However, it is possible for the boy to develop an erection after standing and worshiping her feet. For those with a foot fetish, the girlfriend’s, wife’s, one-night-stands feet are the object of worship and should be treated as such. Arguably, feet are a religious icon themselves for those of us with a foot fetish. We think about girls’ feet all the time—usually the feet of someone, like a girlfriend, wife, or even an ex-lover. Thus, the Praying Mantis is a great position to begin worshipping the object of our affection, which are girls’ feet.

Humiliation and Dominance Factors and Illustration #5
Both humiliation and dominance play vital roles across all Footsutra positions. Even more so in positions that are difficult to achieve successfully.
Humiliation

Humiliation Level:
The humiliation level of four is due to the Praying Mantis being a prelude to Eden. In other words, the Praying Mantis most commonly occurs before the Eden position. As individuals progress through the Guillotine positions, the boy’s humiliation rises as the dominance level rises in the girl.
The Praying Mantis position gives a prelude to the Eden position and represents the Guillotine arc’s midway point. Once in the Praying Mantis, the girl possesses universal control over his feet, and no matter what the boy decides next, her feet never leave his face or his direct line of sight. Regardless, feet in the boy’s face present themselves as humiliating, because generally, feet are dirty and smell, but yet creates arousal in the boy.
Dominance

Dominance Level:
Dominant level four comes from the act of getting the boy onto his knees. Generally, resting on one’s knees creates an act of worship or when someone else praises another individual. If the girl gets him on his knees, the Praying Mantis has been achieved. Her feet continue to caress and rub all over his face.
The dominance factor enhances if the girl reaches around and starts to stroke him. Though this may seem difficult, it is possible—also, the Praying Mantis preludes into Eden (discussed more in the Transition section below).
Foot Fetish Traits
Strength, confidence, and trust represent three vital traits across all Footsutra positions. Every Footsutra position discusses these as they play important roles. Without strength, there is no dominance. Without confidence, there is no pleasure. And without trust, there is no consistency or position. These traits apply to the Praying Mantis footfetish position.
Strength
If attempting to transition from Nessy’s Guillotine into the Praying Mantis, the girl needs to possess a certain degree of strength to lift the boy. However, the boy elects to help the girl by pushing off with his hands and up onto his knees; simultaneously, the girl lifts with her legs. The girl supports herself using her hands and arms when the boy lands on his knees.
Confidence
Confidence remains a crucial factor in all Footsutra positions. However, with the Praying Mantis, this position’s purpose is for the boy to worship the girl’s feet. Her feet become his prayer and savior. To establish and feel this, the girl must hold and execute the position without falter or hesitation.
Trust
Trust remains essential due to the girl (potential danger due to her being upside-down) and the boy due to the girl potentially squeezing the boy’s chest or diaphragm too hard with her legs. Both situations create danger in that the girl may drop and injure herself if not supported. The boy may struggle to have adequate oxygen to maintain the strength necessary to hold the girl in the Praying Mantis.
Praying Mantis Additional Principles
Each Footsutra position contains secrets. To this day we still learn new methods, practices, and techniques for each position. With each new discovery comes new updates. Here is where we discuss the latest practices, guidelines, and settings to help take the Praying Mantis position to the next level.
Best Practices
The Praying Mantis succeeds best via the transition from the Guillotine. Starting with this position proves difficult unless the boy is on his knees already. It would still take some acrobatic skills on the girl’s part to achieve this position cold. If the boy starts this position cuffed, bound, or tied via rope, the girl chooses to remove these items when transitioning into Eden as part of Eden in the following commands and movement.
Also, tying the boy’s hands behind his back may present as challenging for him to support her and risks her falling. As a result, exercise caution when using bondage and restriction in this position. Our recommendation includes bondage, binding, and restraint only utilized when you and your partner successfully transition into and out of this position multiple times. The Praying Mantis exposes the boy’s penis, as with Nessy’s Guillotine, his penis remains hidden because his penis faces the ground while on all fours. When both boy and girl transition into Eden, his penis becomes visible and shown to anyone.
Settings and Locations
The setting for the Praying Mantis can be utilized almost anywhere. However, if used in a public environment, clothing must remain on. Outdoor or in-public play may be a turn-on for the boy or the girl. In terms of a household, this position can occur within any room, such as the living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, patio, deck, etc.
It is also vital for the girl to know beforehand how she wants Eden to start in. As a reminder, the Eden is mobile and does not necessarily have a settings requirement due to ease of movement. Prior, the girl should know which room she wants to transition into the Eden from (such as starting the boy in the bedroom and then moving by issuing commands and the boy walking).
Further Guidelines
The Praying Mantis starts to utilize strength warnings. Before proceeding into the Praying Mantis via transition or back into the Praying Mantis, the boy needs to support the girl’s weight.
However, the Praying Mantis may still be possible since the girl can help herself with her hands on the ground or with her hands on the boy’s ankles or legs. Furthermore, Eden cannot achieve success if the boy cannot support her weight.
Transitions into other Footsutra positions
Transitions are the lifeblood of Footsutra mastery. The ability to transition flawlessly, while maintaining dominance and pleasure, is the height of understanding power and control. In fact, through mastery of transitioning, a girl forces orgasm quicker, and sometimes in the middle of a transition. The Guillotine Arc transition discussed below.

Guillotine Arc – Guillotine, Praying Mantis, Eden
The most common transition for the Praying Mantis is a transition from the Guillotine. In this case, a change occurs when the boy rises off all fours and onto his knees. To facilitate this transition, the girl can taunt while starting the process of applying more pressure with her feet into his face.
Likewise, the girl can also use more upward pressure with her legs. Next, the girl falls forward, and the momentum added with the demand from her legs and feet can help the boy get upright, onto his knees. During this transition, the girl starts stroking him to show both him and anyone watching that she maintains rule; her feet slammed into his face and her hand around his penis.
Praying Mantis position into Eden position
Praying Mantis to the Eden is the most important transition in the Guillotine series. Eden is the transition that the girl wants to achieve due to Eden’s level of control. Transition into the Eden comes with a strength and versatility warning. Should not be attempted of the boy struggling to support her weight or fears that she will be dropped.
The best transition method starts with the boy going from on his knees to one knee. Utilizing this position, the girl will ask a question. This question is asked when the boy is on one knee. Before he rises into the Eden, the girl will ask:
“Do you take my feet, to be your command, your influence, and your indulgence?”
“Do you agree, to follow my feet’s every command, without question?”
“If you agree to these terms, kiss both of my soles now, and rise into your new position. My obedient foot slave.”
“Will you rise and answer my feet’s call?”
The quotes above are examples and can be changed to whatever the girl wants to say. However, the questions and/or statements should pertain to the transition: worship, control, and obeying every command. Furthermore, the girl can grab and stroke the boy’s penis either when she asks the questions before the transition or begin stroking when the Eden has been achieved.
