Women's Legs, Heels, and Sexuality
By Aya_Hajime
If you have ever watched Pretty Woman you must remember a scene at the beginning of the movie where Julia Roberts puts on those sexy long boots.
They actually got a leg double for Julia Roberts in that scene to strike the right level of sexuality with viewers.
Apparently, Roberts was too thin, and not curvaceous enough to convey the right amount of boot-sexy.
Who would have thunk?
I suppose one can never be too rich, but in some instances, one can be too thin.

Are Heels Just for Men?
Contrary to common belief, heels are not just for men.
Women can get a lot of power from wearing heels. It makes them taller, makes them look more attractive, and gives them greater confidence. Men do love to see their women in heels, but women love to see women in heels as well!
Every time I think of heels, I can't stop myself from thinking of the heel scene from Single White Female.I don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen the movie, but suffice it to say that the heel scene is extremely powerful, memorable, and ninja-cool!
What is it about a woman's legs and heels that is so sexual and powerful?

Why Are Heels Sexy?
1. All the Beautiful People Wear Heels
The media plays a big role. We have been conditioned to think that heels and legs are sexy. When Marilyn Monroe stepped onto the subway grating in The Seven Year Itch and viewers got a peek at her sexy, heeled, legs, they were hooked and they could not get enough.
Today, all the sexy women that are depicted in media wear high heels. Already tall super-models power walk down the runway on their stilettos. They make it seem like it is the easiest thing in the world to do, but any woman and some men know that this is not the case.
Glamorous and sexy pop stars create music videos where they not only wear high, sexy heels, but perform complex dance moves as they gyrate to the beat of their music. Certainly, heels are almost a requirement of any actress on television and the movies. Even female FBI, CIA, and NCIS agents wear heels while chasing down the bad guys.
Heels are sexy because all the beautiful cool people wear them.
2. Tall is Sexy
Scientific studies show that tall is sexy but too tall is not. Apparently, the magic number to a perfect pair of legs is an extra 5%.
Regardless of their own build, the viewers preferred legs that were 5 per cent longer than average ...
~~ [New Scientist]
It is not necessarily total height that counts but rather proportional height.
Petite women can be attractive and sexy if their legs are proportionally long compared to their overall height.
For many women, the added lift provided by heels help us reach the magic 5% of leg perfection.
3. Grace and Movement
Women move and hold themselves differently while wearing heels. Heels require women to balance and shift their weight in a certain way that ensures better posture.
When I am wearing heels, I tend to walk with my shoulders back and chest out. There is less hunching or slouching involved. With heels, there is also no lazy walking (shuffling). I must lift my feet properly to ensure that the heels don't catch on anything and to maintain proper balance.
Wearing heels requires practice, and dancing with heels requires quite a lot more depending on the height of the heels. When watching dancing shows on t.v., some of what the women can do on heels is nothing short of amazing!
I suppose wearing heels forces us to attend more to our movements, and as a result, we move with more grace.

Finally the sound of heels hitting a hard surface just sounds sexy!
The sound of heels always brings to mind a proportionally long legged, graceful, beauty, even before you see the woman. This is a very powerful fantasy.
Every time we hear the clip-clop of heels on television and the movies, a sexy and sometimes vulnerable temptress usually makes an appearance. Those images have conditioned us to associate that sound with beauty. Therefore, when we hear that sound, we automatically see those images and feel the rush of excitement.
Heels give women a big advantage when trying to attract men because of all these reasons. However, remember that there is such a thing as too tall, therefore, you want to choose heels that suit your style and your height.

i love heels and nothing makes me feel sexier, i feel like it makes my legs look longer and thinner just always make sure if your going to do the naughty with heels on its not on a water bed not a good out come at all lol.
I do enjoy leggy women, for sure, and heels of course add to the silhouette. But I agree it's all about the proportions of the woman and sometimes more modest heels are the better choice. A recent girlfriend of mine was very long legged and modelesque, something I never went for before, but it was a real turn on in the sack, turns out. Thanks for this hub.
Katsy you are so right. Men love heels. Nothing makes women´s legs look prettier than a pair of heels and stockings.
But for me "men love heels" has a second meaning. A lot of men like to wear heels themselves. And I can only say it´s fun.
Heels heels heels. No one can beat the alluring power of SEXY heels. Not all heels have a sexy appeal. When it comes to heals i recomend a nice slender heel and long ofcourse. Men looove heels (talking from experience) so ladies once in a while put sexy back and wear those heals...
Some of these shoes, Love em!
Seems like you've really been up and about researching :)
Wow, you were so right about the heel clicking sound. I love wearing heels just to hear that sound - I never realized why though.
"Sometimes you just need those "I'm so d**n sexy" moments. "
d**n tootin'! :D
There is nothing like a great pair of heels. Every woman should have a pair of heels that she knows accentuates every part of her leg. Put them on with a short figure hugging dress...what a booster. Sometimes you just need those "I'm so d**n sexy" moments.

Yes heels and legs attract men.
Yeah I like wearing heels as well. I am somewhat stiletto challenged though. :)
I also have to take off my heels while driving. And I can only manage short heels while dancing. Still, I think heels look great on a woman and sometimes on a man ;)
I love to wear heels, but rarely do. As I'm home most of the time, it just seems silly, but I do kind of envy the 50s moms with their pearls, heels, and dresses no matter what kind of job they were doing!
"Of course there's another, more primal reason, but I won't go into it here (may not be appropriate for all readers!!!!!!)"
LOL - Rawrrrr. You are such a sexy, primal super hero!
@TattoGuy - That is awesome! Will definitely have to drop by and check out your websites. I am not very productive when it comes to writing - want to write some articles for me? ;)
I retired Cabin Girl, I am running a few personal websites now and writing a few hubs a week. Your 3D models are amazing, deff nice seeing you about again !
Hi Aya! A sexy hub, and with your trademarked sexy models as well. I think women look sexy in heels because for one, it accentuates muscles in their legs, and two, as you say yourself, you "tend to walk with my shoulders back and chest out." So the female form is more pronounced. Of course there's another, more primal reason, but I won't go into it here (may not be appropriate for all readers!!!!!!)
Did you know cabin girl was the alter ego of the captain? Whether he's still around, I don't know, but I don't think so.
Hey BC - so good to see you!
Yes I decided to write some articles so I can get some extra $$ for my 3D models :)
You have been writing a lot of hubs! How goes life in the High Seas? What has that cute Cabin Girl been up to?
What a joy to see you writing again and yer stunning artwork, enjoy yer weekend moi lil friend, I have missed you xo
