Why do men like women in fishnet stockings and high heels?

So recently I was watching the new Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller movie that came out on DVD called Interview. There is a scene in it where they are going off about why men find women in fishnet stockings and high heels attractive.

Why do you think that is?

It's the dirty side of the male psyche. In our society, there's a draw to what's forbidden and what's more forbidden than a woman dressed like that making us think we are doing something we shouldn't (i.e. with a woman of ill repute). However, if you look at other societies their norms may be different and they may have other ideas on what looks forbidden. Women (and I'm assuming men for you women) can be viewed as sexy in so many different lights. For instance, if you are married to someone who wears a suit every day, somone looking like a ragamuffin hippy might be really alluring to you. It's something different and something you don't have.

Just my thoughts.

It really is in a sense a form of brainwashing (psychologists call it conditioning).

EVERY society has things that they find attractive/sexy. We see things in a certain context and our brain relates them with other visual stimuli seen in the same field of vision. I was so lucky when I was in school we had a guest professor who is pretty much the field expert on fetish development and sex therapy, Dr. Buehler. So I learned A LOT about this subject.

EXAMPLE: Sexy is not an property of a car. A car is red, or fast but not sexy. Well, many years ago they realized that by pairing a sexy lady, next to a car, the car would then also be associated cognitivly with the property of "sexy".

This is the same thing that happens with high heels, fishnets and the list goes on and on. We have seen sex and those items paired together so many times that they are almost one in the same. This is how fetishes develop as well. For whatever reason, someone has had experiences of arousal and shoes together and if the experience is strong enough (salience) or happens enough times, the two are can't occur without the other.

Very interesting! Dr. Buehler has written a ton of books on the subject if you think it's interesting!

Highheels change your posture. and excentuates bust and butt. I think the fishnets are just synonymous with sex, sexiness.

I think it has to be with the stereotypes of what types of people tend to wear those items.

Fishnets are worn most by strippers, goth and punk girls. For the most part. There is a certain sex appeal to those different groups.

High heels is the same thing and mainly when it comes to things like stiletto heels. Think of all the "sexy" groups that wears these, strippers, models, most girls who by society definitions are attractive and "hot".

It is just a way of linking an object to person to confer that label.

By this girl wearing fishnets and stilettos, she is therefore hot and attractive.

Because
1) fishnet is associated with something forbidden (leg, that is behind grates :) And as you know if something is forbidden - it's even more longed-for
2) fishnet outlines a shape of leg very good, it adds contrast (compare to ordinal black tights)

That's why it looks so sexy for a male
