The story behind this play is actually quite fascinating — the person in the picture was born with webbed toes on their right foot. As a teenager they wanted to normalize this, so using a razor blade they started cutting the web slowly with a razor blade, using pressure to notch in the web. Bleeding was relative minor. In any case, they discovered that they enjoyed this activity and found it exciting, and started doing it recreationally as well with other, unwebbed, toes, and are considering an amputation.
Anyway, I always find it very interesting to find out what the catalyst is that causes people to stumble upon, and then discover that they enjoy, heavy play and modification.

i have only my 2nd and 3rd toes webbed on each foot and it looks nothing like that. they are just fused together about 3/4 of the way up and you can’t pull them apart like that. anyways because my toes and like many others like myself are joined so closely, i was able to cut my mine after numbing them with ice which constricted blood flow totally for like 6 minutes and was totally painless. unlike an amputation with exposed bone and major vessels the soft tissue that joins the toes isn’t like that allowing you to cut straight down the middle quite easily and heals quite easy as well as long as you keep them separated and clean. for myself it was a bodybod even though they look normal now. i hated it and yes, it is addicting once you cut at first because you wasnt to see how far you can go without them being in much risk of infection and joining back together. the first time i just cut 1/4 inch and kept them separated and it healed fine so i eventually just went for it. my twin sister had the surgery done using grafts and she has no feeling between because the plastic surgeon severed a nerve. plus i have zero scarring and she has faint but noticeable scars from the grafting and stitches. i prefer my way if you’ve got the stomach. painless and awesome once u finally get normal freakin toes! luv it! i’ll have to post some pics.
