一度风行在中国、现在已经废止的女人缠足风俗给我们提供了一个令人感兴趣的佐证：从孩童早期开始，小女孩的双脚就用缠脚布裹得紧紧的，以防止双脚的自然生长。这种痛苦的缠足程序要坚持数年，直到最终形成成年女性的那种具有代表性的畸形“三寸金莲”。
据文献报道，缠足风俗初起宋朝（公元960-1279），起源于达官显贵阶层，历经数个世纪，也被中下阶层所仿效。因而，从相对罕见的一种现象开始，最终变成了事实上几乎遍及中国每一个女孩的一种风俗。在清朝（1636-1911），缠足变得如此之广泛和如此之亦步亦趋，以至于绝大多数中国妇女被残害成几乎不能行走的小脚女人。最后，1000多年之后，随着1911年清王朝的终结和第一个共和政府的诞生，这种野蛮的习俗才被废止。
缠足的理由可以概括如下： |
违背自然规律的缠足是
-
①
社会地位的象征
达官显贵妇人的“三寸金莲”表明了她们高傲的社会地位和不必工作的客观事实。
-
② 受压迫的标志
有着“三寸金莲'”的女人不能走得太远，因而用来防止她们“逃跑”。所以，她们依赖家庭和被限制在家庭这个小圈子。这也保证了她们服从丈夫的统治。
-
③
性欲的对象
女性的“三寸金莲"被认为有性吸引力和增加了女孩在婚姻市场的征婚机会。甚至，许多女孩被卖作新娘或高价卖给富裕男人做小妾。

上述的最后一个理由是性学家感兴趣的，因为它似乎表明中国社会男人普遍的恋足癖现象，这似乎也是文化培育的结果。 |

A Historical Case in Point - Foot Binding |
|
An interesting case in point is presented by the once popular, now abandoned Chinese custom of binding female feet: Beginning in early childhood, a girl’s feet were wrapped in very tight bandages, preventing their normal growth. This painful procedure was continued for years and eventually resulted in the typical, deformed, very small feet of adult Chinese women.
First reported as an already existing practice in the Song Dynasty (960-1279 A. D.), it originated with the upper classes and, over the centuries, was also adopted by the middle and lower classes. Thus, from a relatively rare phenomenon, it eventually turned into a nearly universal custom affecting virtually every young girl in China. In the Qing Dynasty (1636-1911), footbinding became so widespread and was so strictly executed that the vast majority of Chinese women were turned into cripples who could hardly walk. Finally, after more than 1000 years, with the end of the monarchy and the arrival of the first republican government in 1911, the practice was banned as barbaric.
The reasons for footbinding can be summarized this way:
|
|
Unnaturally small female feet were
1.
A status symbol
The crippled feet of aristocratic ladies demonstrated their high social rank and the fact that they did not have to work.
2.
A mark of oppression
Women with crippled feet could not walk very far and thus were prevented from “running away”. Instead, they were tied to the household and restricted to the domestic sphere. This also ensured their obedience to their husbands.
3.
Objects of sexual desire
Female crippled feet were considered erotically attractive and increased a girl’s chances in the marriage market. Indeed, many girls were sold as brides or concubines to rich men who paid handsome sums to their parents.

The last point is interesting for sexologists, because it seems to indicate some culturally nurtured, widespread male foot fetishism.
