: If you are anywhere past four years old (the more or less traditional age), you're outa luck, sister.
: This barbaric practice was perpetrated on mere babes when the bones of the foot were still very flexible. Perpetual binding of the feet is a cruel, painful and debilitating practice. A child would never be able to walk or run properly without help ever again. (If you are looking for sexual gratification or domination, there are more modern routes to take.)
Footbinding was done at a older age for alot of men and women in china. Actors would have their feetbound to be able to play a women with boundfeet. At a older age the foot wouldn't be as small as if done as a child but would be alot smaller than their normal feet and would be in the right shape
