The term „German Foot Domination“ does not require translation, as it is already in English (US). However, it refers to a niche within the BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadism, and Masochism) community where domination is asserted through the use of feet, and in this case, it is specified as German – perhaps implying that the participants are of German descent, that it takes place in Germany, or that it follows a style or set of customs associated with Germany.
