High heels

Forgive me if there is an existing thread, but I would like to hear from men like me that have absolutely NO willpower before a woman in heels (especially stiletto pumps!) and women who have realized that a lot of men (maybe most?) are putty in your, um, hands when you wear them, especially in bed!

It all began for me when in the 1980's (era of Seka, Christy Canyon, Aunt Peg, etc.) I took my GF to a porn theater for her first time seeing hardcore (and this is the important part) and while she understood that I enjoyed seeing nothing more on the big screen than a wet pussy taking a needy cock, she was confused why all the actresses were completely naked but for high-heeled (almost always stiletto pumps, but occasionally what you girls call "strappy sandals") shoes. Okay, given the era, stockings and lacy garter belts were often featured as well; girls, take note: These things are no less a turn-on to men and boys in 2021 than they were in 1980!

I doubt I ever explained it to her satisfaction, but years later, I worked in an office where the custom was for the secretaries (all female) wore sneakers to and from work, but they wore high heels 9-5. There was one girl, not my secretary, named Debbie, who left her pumps plainly visible under her desk every night. Call me despicable, but on some late nights, I took one or the other shoe and masturbated into it (an excellent match between her shoe size and the space required for my balls and cock), filling the toe and ball with my semen. All I could think about as I was ejaculating was the hope that she would sense something "different" when she slid her (panty-hosed) stocking foot into it the next morning ... and wondering which of the men wanted her so much they would do such a thing.

Yes, it was wrong to relieve my need in her shoes, but a part of me hopes that she and some (other) women understand how powerful male need can become

Dear @UtilityCurve

Forgive me for intruding here. I only recently joined LIT and, in an effort to get to know the landscape, have been browsing through the various threads in the subjects that interest me most (BDSM and Fetishes) when I came across your "High Heels" thread.

In no way do I wish to disrupt the enjoyable flow of this discussion, with its many beautiful photos posted by admirers of high heels and the women who enjoy wearing them (a group to which I happily belong). Nevertheless, your opening post prompted a number of reflections, and I felt compelled to add a perspective of my own.

What interests me about your post is that I think many men and women are actually talking about different things when they talk about high heels. From a purely visual perspective, heels alter posture, movement, and silhouette in ways that many men find attractive. That part is easy enough to understand. But I suspect the enduring fascination with heels has as much to do with symbolism as with appearance.

For many men, heels are not simply footwear. They represent a particular expression of femininity: deliberate, self-aware, confident, and perhaps even a little unattainable. A woman in trainers and a woman in elegant pumps may be the same person, but the emotional and erotic impression can be very different.

Where I would differ slightly from your post is in the idea that women necessarily underestimate the effect. Some certainly do, but many women are perfectly aware that heels attract attention. What I think is less widely understood is why they attract attention. The attraction is often not to the shoe itself, but to what it communicates: poise, confidence, glamour, authority, or even a subtle imbalance of power.

That may also explain why heels appear so frequently in erotic imagery. Their function is largely symbolic. They transform an otherwise ordinary image into one charged with meaning. In that sense, heels are closer to a costume, a ritual object, or an erotic signifier than they are to a practical item of clothing.

Your story about Debbie also illustrates something else: desire can become attached to objects that acquire meaning through association. The shoe itself is not inherently erotic. What makes it erotic is everything it represents in the imagination of the person who desires it.

So when people ask why heels have such a powerful effect on some men, I don't think the answer is found in fashion alone. The answer lies somewhere in the intersection of attraction, symbolism, fantasy, and power.

High heels are indeed a sex symbol. The woman wearing them shows both self-confidence (tallness!) and vulnerability (after all, who can really run away in high heels?).
Above all, though, she’s saying: I want to look sexy. And I want sex! (Maybe not necessarily with me, but...) In any case, that’s what comes across to my male brain.

But maybe it’s all completely different. I just know it turns me on.

I am keenly aware of how high heels can project an image, attitude, self-awareness, etc. Many of our choices of attire have this power, but heels perhaps uniquely so.

And it can go the other way too. If I am wearing an outfit that naturally pairs with say a 3" heel and I wear a 2" heel that can project a lack of confidence or a desire to tone down any sexual attraction. Conversely if I up the heel to 3 1/2" or 4" it can project a desire to really own the look and the implied sexuality (not that I am looking for sex but that I am comfortable with my sexuality). In each case I say "can" not "does" because there are so many other things at play and each woman and each outfit is unique. But for me personally my approach is typically wear them and own the look or don't bother and just wear comfortable flats.
