Open Question: Weird fixation on straight best friend... What do I do?

[feedcrawler]

Basically, I'm gay, 20... and I was hanging out with my best friend's girlfriend today. We got on a sexually based conversation. She revealed to me that he has a foot fetish.. both in holding a dominate and submissive role in the whole thing, but that she thought it was odd, and is grossed out by feet, so it's not a great match. He and I are very very open with one another. We've had conversations relating to sexual activity before. This is never something we talked about, because obviously.... this is something you worry about telling the person you're with... you don't tell other people. So I told her that I have this fetish as well. It's rather big for me.At this point, I know she will tell him she told me, and that I have one as well. So now I'm stuck on the idea of trying something. I'm not interested in him in any other way... being a best friend has essentially mentally friend zoned him... but I've not yet had the opportunity to experiment with this. And I feel like this is a decent shot. He's not careful or guarded around me. He's not afraid I'll fall for him.My rational side realizes however that he's straight, and I am not, and that automatically invalidates any possibility of exploring any area through him. I can respect that. But I'm finding it hard to forget that he has the same kind of interest I do. How do I proceed to handle this in the best way?
