Wow. I can't believe all of the controversy over high heels especially with all of the different kinds of risks many of us take with our partners. To me, this is something I wouldn't even give a second thought to. If he wanted me in heels every day, I would. It's that simple. quote:
Oh I can believe Aileen. lol...remember where we are. Passive agressive central. Sure, staple my tits to a board, pee in my mouth, remove a nipple or two, but heels? Safety police! I'd like to address this, and perhaps explain why something as supposedly mundane as high heels every day seems to get an 'over the top' reaction from certain posters in comparison to much more 'edgy' play. Nailing tits to a board, dilating a cervix, bloodplay, gun play and such are sometimes mentioned here with much less hoopla, that is true. Such things are also very obviously dangerous to anyone with 2 axons and a dendrite. On the other hand, things like like being forced to wear high heels daily, face slapping, and hair pulling are seen by so many people (on both sides of the kneel) as no big deal or something they would not give a second thought to, that the very real possibility of physical damage is often overlooked. Do some go a bit overboard with their warnings? Perhaps, but they are at least educating the OP and anyone else reading the thread that there is a danger. BTW, I listed hair pulling specifically because I suffered 2 dislocated cervical vertebrae as the result of an encounter with a 'dom' who thought hair pulling was a completely safe activity. I would wager that many D-types and more than a few s-types, prior to this thread, did not know that wearing very high heels on a daily basis can not only damage the feet themselves, but also throw the spine out of alignment and/or cause many other muscle, joint, or skeletal issues. Many people know that wearing high heels all the time can shorten the achilles tendon, fewer know that it can also make fully extending the calf muscles extremely painful. I have pointed a good friend who is a chiropractor to this thread, and hopefully he will post some helpful information. All that said, I also hope that some high heel loving folks will adopt Aynne's foot care regimen and be much better off for it. To my mind, it's all good. As with any thread here, people will take what works for them, and leave the rest. [sm=2cents.gif]
