Hard to believe that we're talking about wearing high heels, but recent studies reverse the old negative publicity which blasted those staples of everyday women's existence...studies which blamed high heels as a cause of bad posture, stress fractures and other injury. Now they're just the cure for failing sex drives according to a recent study published in the journal, European Urology. And just the cure for admiring men as well as consumer women. Opening the controversy is Dr.Maria Cerruto, a researcher and urologist at Italy's University of Verona. Cerruto, who expresses a great affection for such shoes, claims that high heels (also known as "stilettos" in Italy), tone the legs and strengthen the all- important pelvic muscles. Just wearing these shoes would, in effect, replace much of the need for the pelvic exercises necessary to keep the pelvic area musculature healthy. She studied 66 women under the age of 50, and discovered that women who held up their feet at a 15 degree angle to the ground, the physical equivalent of a two inch, or moderate heel, showed up to 15 per cent less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles. This leads to the conclusion that these same muscles are more relaxed, when the woman is wearing the heels than not wearing the heels, increasing muscular strength and the ability to contract. Physiologically, the pelvic muscles are responsible for sexual performance and satisfaction. Less electrical activity means more relaxation, and more relaxation translates into better sex according to Dr. Cerruto. And better health. Unspoken, but obviously related, is the fact that this unintended exercise and relaxation of the pelvic muscles is far more amenable to the boring, jarring and often hazardous pelvic exercises dished out as therapy to women getting over their pregnancy or surgery. If the exercise is suitable, then, the woman is more likely to exercise, just like anyone else. And if the regimen of merely wearing these suddenly medicinal fashion accessories leads to better health, women will not complain. And, of course, neither will admiring men. Admiring men will continue to admire, with the logical extension that women desire admiring men and will wear the shoes more, hence exercising more. High heels are a broad and very ancient acceptable fetish in fashion and art. They seem to traverse all cultures and income levels, are depicted with great regularity in magazines, stocked widely in stores, and sell very well, regardless of the vogue otherwise. Now they are seen as very healthy for exercise of the same sexual urges and practices which teased them into popular existence. Remember those high heels can cause foot, ankle, knee and back problems. They are not for everyone, especially those women with a history of ankle sprains, bad knees, bad hips and backs. All in all, a very happy circumstance for men and women. Just what the doctor ordered, and not unpalatable medicine at that. ******************************************************************************************* It's about time and I know there are going to be rebuttals to this article, but at least some in the field of medical science have stepped up (yes it's punny) and finally correlates a bit of the benefits of wearing high heels, we heelers have been experiencing for some time. Although, we have been inundated by the media, by the podiatrist reports, and etc. with the possible injurious effects of heeling, most of us didn't have them or took steps (punny again) to find styles that didn't continue to cause the adverse effects. Furthermore, most of us have heeled since our teenage years and are living proof of the heeling benefits. I'm sorry there are some people who do experience the negatives with the wearing of high heels and their grievances are duly noted. Just the same, the rest of us shouldn't have to be considered as inflicting tourcher upon ourselves by heeling. Infact for me, wearing high heels has been a pure delight even in the process of finding the right fit in the styles I wanted to wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Histiletto Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey thedesigner, Yup! When we are too old to remember much of any thing, we will still be able to walk with a good posture, because we are heelers. Now where did I put aaaaaaaaaaah? Oh, I got them on. Have a good week!

Histiletto Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Evidently, the article was aimed at women who wear heels, because of the status of our world, does not acknowledge male heelers, as of yet. The jest of the article is saying that those (men and women) who wear heels are more proned to be healthier because wearing high heels help to tone the legs and strengthen the pelvic muscles, therefore lessens the possibility of strain and increases the probability of having more enjoyable sex. Heelers are also more conscious about good posture, which is also decreases the strain factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Wearing high heels by women and men, as we all have dicovered from this website, gives a person a thrill, happiness, daringness, courage, self esteem, and an insight as to what type of person you really are. THAT HAS TO BE A POSSITIVE HEALTH FACTOR!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
