Please answer, let's spice up this forum since nobody wants to talk about tights seriously (which I think is a boring anyway). >What do you enjoy about pointe shoes and are you male or female? Do you wear them just for sheer pleasure or can you actually dance a bit in them. Do you prefer wearing them with or without tights? What is it you find attractive about dancers en pointe? Their feet, legs, their line? Come on guys, don't be shy, I know there are people who dig pointe shoes. >What turns you on about the shoes? Is it the satin, the smell, the ribbons, the phallic shape, what? Talk! Do you prefer used and worn or new shoes? >How about soft slippers? Like them? Colors? With or without other ballet attire? What turns you on about them? >>>> While I enjoy the sight of a woman in pointe shoes, the thought of wearing them just never really clicked with me. Soft leather slippers, in contrast, I find very erotic to wear. (Why the discrepancy? No idea.) I think it may be because they're unisex soft footwear that originates from the feminine side of the spectrum, compared to virtually all other unisex clothing that originates from the masculine side, then worn by women. In any case, I get quite a rush from the combination of tactile sensation and the sense of violating a societal taboo. Black is my favorite, but I do have white and even pink for when the mood is right. If you think about it, what I just wrote applies to tights, too. -- Vic Answers to this message: |
