Study: High heels ‘may improve sex life’
High heel lovers of the world, rejoice! News of a small clinical study out of Italy suggest that women who wear high heels may see improvement in pelvic muscle strength. The BBC News reports:
…in a letter to European Urology, Dr Maria Cerruto said her research showed it was time to stand up for the heel.
She said her study of 66 women under 50 found that those who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground – the equivalent of a two inch heel – had as good posture as those who wore flat shoes, and crucially showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles.
This suggested the muscles were at an optimum position, which could well improve their strength and ability to contract.
The pelvic floor muscles are an essential component of the female body. As well as assisting sexual performance and satisfaction, they provide vital support to the pelvic organs, which include the bladder, bowels and uterus.
Personally, I’ve found that the best way for my wife to wear heels is when her feet are draped over her lover’s shoulders. I wonder if that adds any kind of health benefit. It must, right?
Are some trashy heels on your Valentine’s Day shopping list guys? Ladies?
