The power of the heel

Some people think it’s weird that I don’t have a foot fetish, but I love sexy high heeled shoes.  [In fact, I don't generally like feet, (and I hate them being tickled!)].

But I’m only 5’1″ and I can use all the height I can get.

The high heel is actually quite complex in it’s context in society and psychology.  The high heel symbolizes femininity, but also male dominance and a desire to please men.  The heel can also be looked at as a form of female dominance- especially if worn by a Mistress.  The high heel has even been referred to as a phallic symbol.  And it could certainly be used as a weapon of pain (ever have someone wearing heels step on your foot? or on your chest, or your balls, for that matter?).

Some women say that high heels gives them a sense of empowerment, gives them authority, or makes them feel sexier… but let’s face it, wearing high heels actually puts you at a disadvantage (at the very least, it’s quite difficult to run after anyone!)

For me, I believe wearing high heels is a form of personal torture.  I will endure the pain of wearing 5″ heels over the course of a long fetish event, especially if I’m with an appreciative Dom.  And at the end of the night, I may just give in to that person with a foot fetish who is dying to give me a massage ;)
