Can You Orgasm From Wearing High Heels?

The designer Christian Louboutin shares his "orgasmic high heel" theory, i.e. ploy to sell shoes.

Citing no scientific basis for his statements, iconic shoe designer Christian Louboutin recently said: "What is sexual in a high heel is the arch of the foot, because it is exactly the position of a woman's foot when she orgasms."

The Sex Appeal of...Feet?

The Sex Appeal of...Feet?

It is almost like a right of passage to summer. Simply because a pair of sexy shoes has been strapped on to a pair of lowly feet, BAM, those feet become the main object of sexual attraction.

How Burlesque Helped Me Heal

How stripping helped get one woman back on her feet and discover her inner vixen.

The U.S. job market tanked, the dollar crashed, and my company laid off 16 investigators. The experience left me feeling shaken and insecure. And then one day I came across a video of famed American burlesque performer Dita Von Teese dancing at the Crazy Horse. Three minutes later I was enrolled in a class to learn the art of burlesque.

Women's Clothing Decoded

What she's really trying to say with a V-neck top and high heels may surprise you.

I feel really sorry for the guys who read Men’s Health and get all sorts of bad advice ... usually in the form of “insightful” articles written by women. I can only imagine these ladies must have been dumped hard-core — maybe in a text message or at their mother’s funeral or something — to have it out for men the way they do. What else explains the desire to push guys in the wrong direction time and time again? To set them up not just for rejection and failure, but for utter humiliation as well? This time the readers of Men’s Health — oh, the poor lot — have been led to believe they can decipher a woman’s thoughts by the clothes she’s wearing. After the jump, Men’s Health translates different outfits and then I say what we women are really saying.

Diminutive Men Like... Amazon Women?

Some men have a fetish for a larger than life lady, and enjoy a little Amazon woman manhandling.

For some men, Amazon women aren't just for comic books. For them an Amazon women—taller than six-feet, who tips the scale at more than 220 pounds—is a rarity they'd gladly spend up to $500 an hour on. But don't think there's sex involved, many times these men get off on feeling small and enjoy being manhandled, if you will, by these Amazon ladies.

Man Puts Himself In Women's Shoes

This guy literally gets in touch with his feminine side.

"This is harder than boxing. This is the hardest thing I've ever done," says Gavin McInnes while huffing his way around a running track wearing a pair of (adorable) white high heels. This video, part of Jezebel's "What It Feels Like For A Girl" series, is the latter half of two parts which follow the co-founder of Vice Magazine and Street Carnage through his 4-lap, one-mile journey full of saucy catcalls and excruciating pain.

Sexy As Heel

Science proves stilettos make us sexy both on the street and in the sheets.

Researchers claim that high-heeled shoes not only tone the legs and strengthen the pelvic muscles, but they “directly work the pleasure muscles which are linked to an orgasm.” Not a bad perk added to an accessory that we females already lust over.
