Open Question: Is this a fetish or is it just being a good friend?

[feedcrawler]

Just want other people's opinions on this one, I have a very good friend who I've known for years. He is going through a bad time at work, becoming stressed and it clearly shows. Anyway after a long discussion about he was on the brink of breaking down, so I asked him if he trusted me? Of which he said Yes, so I put my arm round him for support and started to massage his back and shoulders many occasions I said to him are you ok with this and reply was yes carry on so I did by this time my mate was laying down I carried on with the massage I then started to undo his trainers and removed them slowly and massage his feet for him,this was the only thing I took of him though when I finished he said he never felt his trainers coming off and he felt relaxed and great now I'm in a situation where I'm doing this more and more for him. my question is this normal? If you had a good friend in this position do you think they would be comfortable with this and not just saying yes for the sake of it, or frightened of speaking up etc.
