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
