High Heels can Improve Sex Life, Says Italian Urologist
High heels might have been invented by a woman who had been kissed on the forehead, as poet Christopher Morley High said.

But it so happens that stilettos can also improve one’s sex life.

At least that is what Italian urologist Dr.Maria Cerruto would like us to believe.

In a letter to European Urology, Dr.Cerruto of the University of Verona in Italy, outlined her research. Her study of 66 women under 50, who held their foot at a 15 degree angle to the ground - the equivalent of a two inch heel, had as good a posture as those who wore flats. The use of stilettos also showed less electrical activity in their pelvic muscles.

She argues that as the pelvic floor muscles are an essential component of the female body, wearing heels can assist sexual performance and give satisfaction, besides providing vital support to the pelvic organs, including the bladder, bowels and uterus.

Her study's premise is that for women having difficulty exercising their pelvic zone, wearing spike heels is the easy solution. "Like many women, I like high-heeled shoes," she says. "It's good to know they have potential health benefits."

She admits there are problems nevertheless. She admits, high heels weaken a person's health after pregnancy, childbirth and menopause.

But confident in her findings, she says there are exercises by which one can strengthen one's muscles and eliminate these 'minor' ill-effects of high heels.
