| Re: The Beauty Of Small Feet? WARNING: DISTURBING!!
Guys this is a form of mutilation, women did not chose to get their feet bound.
The process would start at the tender age of 5. The parent or an elder would chose what girl should go to the foot binder. The process would take several years.
It was meant to trigger the "lotus gait" a type of very short step walk similar to the one produced by pointe shoes.
These women were wealthy, and did not need to walk. The husbands would have servants to tend to their every need.
The deformed foot was considered an erotic object and feet would stay permanently bound except for well, I leave the rest to your imagination. |
