Get this: high heels can improve your sex life. Apparently. At least according to Dr Maria Cerruto of the University of Verona. Turns out high heels work your pelvic muscles and a stronger set of those equate to better sex!

Now leaving aside the fact that Maria Cerruto herself says she loves high heeled shoes and, “I tried to find something healthy in them…”, and also that the study was based on a small sample of incontinent women (!); the results sort of make intuitive sense. Stay with me here…

Dr Helen Fisher, an anthropology professor at Rutger University in New Jersey says that “High heels thrust out the buttocks and arch the back into a natural mammalian courting – actually, copulatory – pose called ‘lordosis’. Rats do it, sheep do it … lions do it, dogs do it…”.

So when women are wearing high heels they are contorting their body into a sexual posture, that men see as sexual readiness. So doesn’t it stand to reason that if a woman spends a lot of time in high heels, that the muscles used in sex will get a good workout?

I guess if I walked around in a golfing stance often enough it would build up my quadriceps and probably tone my gluteal (butt) muscles too. If it didn’t create a real handicap, it might even help my golfing one. But I’d feel pretty stupid doing it.

P.S:

And of course, it all hinges on whether or not you believe what people say about their sex lives
