I Love Corsets and High Heels

I love the restriction of corsets and the feel of being perched up on my toes, restricted in a different way.

Thanks for looking, Rocky. I've had backache for years - one reason I've been wearing heels more, as it's an instant cure. It can be miserable standing for more than a few minutes or walking around, particularly things like shopping, but heels over about 3 inches are miraculous. I prefer at least 4 inches with no platform, but it's very difficult getting anything in less overtly feminine styles. Boots are much easier to obtain, but shoes/sandals are difficult. Add to that, my wife is OK with me in boots but doesn't like most styles of shoes or sandals on me. As the weather is now warming up here, I need something lighter.

I've been told that male bones/joints are less flexible than female ones, in the context of men not being able to wear heels so high as women can, although I've proved that assertion is a myth. Most women haven't a clue how to walk in heels, and think that about anything over about 3 inches is high. They walk with bent knees and with all the grace of drunken ducks. I can walk in 4 inch heels as easily as in flats, and I think most male heel wearers are the same.

I'd love to be permanently in heels, although I wouldn't want to offend any of my friends/family/church members. I'd have to make a very convincing case for medical reasons! I'm slowly 'coming out' to various people, and I go to most business events in heels. No one has ever commented, although they're plainly visible when I sit down.
