Hey, Veeky Forumsentists, I was wondering whether there is strong, conclusive evidence of sex hormones on the growth of feet. Throughout history and over various cultures small-footed females have been considered as sexually attractive. Today high heels tend to give this illusion, foot-binding has been practised in China and Persia, and men from Iran, Brazil,Tanzania, and Papua New Guinea rate small feet as more attractive than large feet. It would appear obvious, then, that estrogens inhibit bone growth of the feet, but finding information of this type has not worked out. It seems that studies on the sexuality of feet are awfully lacking.
If you could provide good studies on this subject or any rational discourse, it would be much appreciated.
So I've been marathoning a certain podcast, and they had an episode about heels a while back. More about design (and a lil history) of heels than why we find them attractive.
Estrogen doesn't specifically limit the growth of feet. Feet are designed to be a mixture of lightweight and balanced producing. Evolutionarily, it would be more of a physical detriment to have large feet because it would take more energy to lift them and more focus to burst away from a gray timber wolf.

Design an experiment and find out senpai.

men find high heels attractive because of how that stance shapes the thighs and ass, not because it makes the feet look small

You are retarded Women wear heels because it makes their flat ass look better. The only and purpose of the heels you degenerate footfag

Short feet are preferable because it's then easier for a woman to stand in front of the sink.

Heels create more of a downward angle at the hips by increasing the arch of the lumbar spine, thus making a woman's butt appear more rounded and shapely. This is the reason.

You literally cannot notice the difference where the fuck are you pulling this bullshit from?
Show some evidence or GTFO this is Veeky Forums not /b/

sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090513812001225 >There is a strong contemporary association between high heels and female sexuality. We investigated the hypothesis that one motivation for women wearing high heels is that it artificially increases the femininity of gait. We isolated the effects of heels on gait using point-light methodology. Females were recorded walking in flat shoes and high heels. Participants viewed point-light videos of the women wearing the two types of shoe. Participants judged the females in the heels condition as significantly more attractive (with a large effect size) than the females in the flat shoe condition. Biomechanical analyses revealed that wearing high heels led to increased femininity of gait including reduced stride length and increased rotation and tilt of the hips. We conclude that high heels exaggerate sex specific aspects of female gait and women walking in high heels could be regarded as a supernormal stimulus.

What the fuck is this. I googled and couldn't find anything about it.
How does this rule out all other possible causes for the preference e.g height?

Neurologist Vilayanur S. Ramachandran proposed that foot fetishism is caused by the feet and the genitals occupying adjacent areas of the somatosensory cortex, possibly entailing some neural crosstalk between the two. Ramachandran has noted amputees reporting orgasms in their feet.

this, what the fuck

My colleague wears heels and walks on them like a duck.

retroreflective markers are placed on key points on the leg and foot and tracked by camera
and no, it doesn't rule other explanations out, but it does suggest that any list of explanations should include this one
Jeremiah Lewis
Right, thank you for the explanation.

Does she ever kick them off near the end of the workday?

Thanks for link. Surely i am not the first to think of this? Nice study. Unfortunately it does not differentiate betweeen biological and cultural causality. And there is our household psychologist with the expected explanation of the topographic locations of the genitals and the feeet on S1. To support this claim, at least provide a plausible mechanism for the assumed "neural crosstalk". Amputees dont compare to participants with foot fetishism.

You say that like there is a difference.

I'd like to conduct an experiment to see why foot fetishists always manage to atonally shove their shit tier fetish into every single topic no matter how unrelated.

Just floating an idea out there. It could be because small feat are neotenous. Many feminine features that are typically found attractive are primarily neotenous, such large eyes, a small nose, rounder less pronounced facial structure. Perhaps this relationship between men being attracted to neotenous features extends be on just facial features. It's a massive stretch, but could hold some truth.
David Morris
Interesting idea. How would you explain that the feet specificically are targetted to be reduced in size in various cultures whereas other body parts seem to be allowed to grow out in normal development course?

Also, you mean prostheses, not prosthetics.

In our next blog we will demonstrate how latex spontaneously forms on the skin by the reaction of sex hormones and money.
