The surprising connection between heel height and orgasm strength
If orgasms have become more difficult, less intense, or absent, the fault isn't always with your partner or stress. For some women, the shoes they wear every day can also have an impact.
Italian urologist Dr. Maria Cerruto has discovered that medium heels around 3-5 cm, improve posture and activate the pelvic muscles, which play a key role in experiencing orgasm.
According to her study published in European Urology, this heel height brings the pelvis into a natural position that resembles muscle activation during Kegel exercises, improving the tone and strength of contractions during orgasm.
When high heels become a problem
Unlike moderate heels, very high heels (over 10 cm) can cause hypercontraction of the pelvic musclesWhen walking in such heels, the body shifts forward and the pelvis is pushed into an unnatural position, similar to the posture of the body during the peak of orgasm.
Gynecologist Dr. Jennifer Fromberg, co-author of the book Vagina: A New Biography, describes this clearly:
Orgasm is usually like going from zero to 60. If you're already 55 (due to high heels), you're not experiencing it fully.
So, the muscles may be tense before sexual intercourse, which reduces the freedom of contractions and the intensity of sensation, reports the Telegraph.
What do scientific studies say?
The impact of footwear on sexual function has not been extensively researched, and there is no evidence that footwear “causes” or “solves” sexual difficulties. However, there is a consensus among studies that show that Strong pelvic muscles are directly linked to stronger orgasms.
This is supported by studies published in: Journal of Sexual Medicine, European Urology, International Urogynecology Journal. All conclude that the strength, flexibility and tone of the pelvic muscles positively affects sexual satisfaction.
Conclusion: Balance, not extreme
While shoes aren't the main factor in orgasm, they can affect how your pelvic muscles work on a daily basis. Moderate heels help with optimal muscle activation, while very high heels reduce flexibility and can reduce the intensity of orgasm.
Balancing comfort, posture, and pelvic floor muscle function can positively impact the sex lives of many women.. /Telegraph/
