Hi. Today, something happened that I want to discuss. I was at school (yes, I'm still a student) and we were discussing some articles of a newspaper. One advertisement advertised a free pair of heels when you would sign up for their newspaper. The article mentioned that the action only counted for women, men couldn't take heels. Somebody mentioned that it is sexist and discriminating to men. A guy made a joke about it, he said with much sarcasm that he would want a pair too. Then one of the girls said: "one of my friends has pumps, but yeah, he's gay. Obviously!" Most of the people laughed, some shouted "Gay!". I sat there and kept quiet. This made me think of a television show from last year, the belgian version of American Idol. One of the guys, again someone who was obviously gay and showed it well, wore heels often. The camera once filmed a close-up of the heels, clearly meant to make fun of it and show it to the whole country. A teen magazine had an article about the show and showed many pics of the shoes. What has become clear to me is that I certainly don't live in a men-in-heels-accepting country. I have no courage at all to go outside or even tell anybody of my passion, even my sister doesn't know it (yet). I'm too afraid that being seen would have negative effects on my life and relations to the people I know. I haven't ever seen any man in heels in Belgium, not even on the tv (but for that one show I mentioned) I guess that as long as I haven't graduated at the university, which will be at least 5 more years, I will stay in my old-fashioned Belgian homeland. My question for any British readers: how about Great Britain? How accepting is it? I plan on moving to there anyways in the future, many more job opportunities there for music producers. This is all I have to say for now. Please tell me, what do you think about this? How is your situation, your country, your city? See you again soon!

avast tells me it's a virus.

because I'm still young and unsure, I don't yet have the courage to go and buy heels in a real store. I have 2 pairs, from online stores. Heels are however very difficult to find in big sizes in Belgium... The pair I mostly wear is indeed kind of narrow and small (I have very wide feet) and they just barely fit. I have another pair of shoes, they are lower and bigger but I like them less. I guess I will keep on not wearing them for a week and we'll see how it it turns out. Should I stop wearing the smaller heels at all or just wear them less often? thanks for the replies!

Hi. I only started wearing heels like a month ago, and I don't really wear them often. Only a few times I have worn heels longer than half an hour, and the heels weren't higher than about 3.5 inches. I didn't have any problems except for maybe some small pains after a longer period, because I just started. Now, around a week ago, my left foot started to ache. I hadn't worn heels a lot that day, but it just started then. I feel the pain when I stand with my foot in a low arched position (around an inch) or when I stand with a very high arched position, but not when I stand with an arch of around 3 inches. my foot also hurts when I walk (this annoys me the most) It's hard to situate the pain, it's in the ball of my foot but also on the sides and around the toes. I quit wearing heels at all for 4 days to see if it'd help, but it only got worse. I wore them once after 4 days to see it they would hurt, which they did, and after I took them off after 10 minutes the pain had gotten worse. Right now it hurts like before. I would like to know if this is a common issue, if it is caused by wearing heels and if it will go away by itself. will I have to see a doctor? I thank you if you read this whole post, and if you could help me out! see you later!

Well, I'll just say that I am a heel-loving man and on this forum I hope to share ideas about our common passion. Because of the fact that I just recently discovered my love of wearing heels, I wasn't entirely sure about it, whether I should tell anyone, show anyone... Thanks to this place I can feel allright about all of this, thanks! See you soon, in further posts!

Fetish, and because I find it an awesome thing to do!
