"Give a girl the perfect shoes ... and will conquer the world," said Marilyn Monroe and this is the starting point for those who believe that heels have some hypnotic.

For those who argue that the heel beautifies the female figure, or for which it is only a myth or one of those many social postulates, we first say that the origin of this type of footwear goes back to ancient Egypt, when the butchers put on someLuck of platforms to avoid staining the feet of blood.

From the entrance we go to the doctor, because analyzing such an important aspect for the fashion world such as footwear, requires at least one handle point in the professional and technical.

Helen Fisher, anthropologist and director of the Research Department of the University of Rutgers, in New Jersey -United States-, who has dedicated her life to analyze the neurobiology of love, gives details about what concerns us today.

What it causes

According to Fisher, when women use heels, they cause a postural change: mainly reflected in a more accentuated lordosis than normal.We clarify that lordosis is the physiological curvature of the column of humans in the cervical or lumbar region.

About 8 or 10 centimeters deepen the archer of the lower back, propelled the derriopro back and a need to ‘accommodate’ and stand up to simply maintain balance, making the thoraxic box exalt, and as a consequence, the bust stands out.

It is the position of the Italian urologist, María Cerruto, which affirms the analysis of Fischer and that this accentuated lordosis gives sensation - not less visual - that raises the female buttocks.

He also argues that “when a woman uses heels, pelvic floor muscles are in a position that increases her strength and contraction ability.These muscles are an essential component in the female body, ”explains the specialist.

Therefore, these muscles, in addition to providing assistance to sexual act, give vital support to organs such as bladder, large intestine and uterus, so using heels could also be the solution and a comfortable way to improve satisfactionfemale sexual.

How do you see

If this is not your case, you may be one of that large percentage of ladies ‘Taconless’, but it can be said that this fascination for using high heels not only obeys a sociocultural or even fetishist aspect.

But also that, sometimes, its use accentuates certain patterns of the female march -shorter and more turn of the hip when moving -that make it see more attractive, especially in its walk.

It is obvious that 10 or 12 centimeters more provide a share of proportion to the body, making it stylized and seductive.Punctually, more visually harmonious in the case of not very graceful in height.

How it is perceived

There are many who add that the woman in heel projects an aura of self -safety and in her sexual appeal.

Others point out another psychological aspect: that high heels literally raise female self -esteem, and make them feel more desirable and powerful, although that sometimes mimetic, with that "only use them by elegance."

According to Patricia Soley-Beltran, a graduate in Cultural History, a doctor of sociology of the genre and honorary member of the Department of Sociology of the University of Edinburgh, it argues desolately that “with the heels you fragilize, samples that you are willing to suffer, to offer you to the other, to submit. ”

According to Soley-Beltran, “a woman may enjoy putting heels and looks more beautiful, more sexy and even more powerful.She is a woman who assumes this sexualization and seduction capacity from a default role. ”

In a journalistic interview, the sociologist adds that, using heels “is a slightly dangerous game, they can cross out Busa.Effectively.In a context of equal professional opportunities you can choose to play a sexualization game, or not.But in a context of real and symbolic inequality like the one we live, in which, abbreviating a lot, the body is still rewarded in women and the mind in men, we are not playing in conditions of equality. ”

The documentary carried out by students of the Barcelona School, “Deu Centimetres Més A Prop del Cel” -diez centimeters closer to heaven -addresses the matter in a perspective similar to ours, but provides more testimonies, such as that ofA couple of young people who explained among them that "it is very uncomfortable, I put them on an hour and I already suffer."And the boy said "yes, but I like them."

Closing the circle

The question that arises is to show off?According to the Taconless portal, not at all, women have that deeply entrenched concept, but there is no reason to suffer to feel sexy.

Mainly the heel is not so "suffered" for those who do not hold so much weight, since the question of sustaining the instep as the dancers is something that is not accepted by the female universe.

But it does talk a lot about who uses it, to a greater proportion, who wears heels does not take public transport and more if he carries some Louboutin, some Gianvito Rossi or some Jimmy Choo.

Well, the reality is that if you like to have a more stylized, empowered and attractive figure, the heels are yours.And not forgetting what it will cause in them.

There are male opinions, such as the one who subscribes, that “the heel makes the magic of holding a healthy couple.Elegance in the context of love, undoubtedly exacerbates sexual impulse, and prolongs romanticism. ”

But the love of a long -term relationship or attachment -for this or other reasons -as Helen Fischer says: the third component of the cerebral system related to love is worthy of another text.

And the rest are all myths.
