Let's get back to pole dancing....

I do enjoy how some people are offended that pole dancing is somehow all about SEX while more serious things like gymnastics and ballet are about physical skill and talent, or whatever.

Have you people not seen gymnastics or ballet? It's ALL about the sex. Yeah, it requires talent and physicality and skill, but it's ABOUT the sex. There's nothing wrong with that. Pole dancing just makes it slightly more overt. Ballet usually does not include booty shaking. Dance is all about the human body as an object, usually an object of desire, and that's the definition of objectification right there. If you're not comfortable with that, consider a career playing music.

Bingo.

The exact same thing as a Circ Du Sole show except with no crazy costume.

Do you want to add some qualifiers to that statement or leave it as a blanket? I'm pretty sure when my sister sends her daughters off to ballet and gymnastics she's not training them to sell sex or one day aspire to have the stage name Mercedes who really does dance around a pole. I know you love to come across as the elite on here but really....you're stretching it a little.

ETA: and yes, pole dancing is associated with sex and I'm really ok with that. Can you please cite examples in American history where it hasn't been (the recent pole dancing exercise craze doesn't count).

Only up until recently has pole dancing been viewed as an "excersise" .

I put a few Lexus's, Chastity's, Diamond's, and Sapphire's through college back in my day. Good times.

I'm sorry, where did I say that ballet and gymnastics were precursors to prostitution and stripping? I didn't.

Being "about sex" isn't prostitution any more than The Old Man and The Sea is a fishing boat.

I have to admit, I have never stuffed a dollar bill into a ballerina's panties! lol!

Wow... amazing skill. I felt like I was watching an acrobat or a trained gymnast. It didn't feel like watching exotic dancing, I was watching an athlete. AMAZING!

I wish I had just an ounce of their energy, skill, and stamina. Great stuff.
