man on pole

•••THE ANSWER ME THIS! SPORTS DAY IS OUT NOW•••

Following Eleanor from Norwich‘s request in AMT221 that we desexify pole dancing, Jay in Manchester has been in touch to say that not only is pole dancing NOT SEXY, it’s also NOT GIRLY:

I thought I’d let you know that a lot more guys do pole dancing than you might think! Though I agree with Eleanor that pole dancing is very sporty and requires exceptional core muscle strength, it does need more recognition as a great non-slutty sport which has the side benefits of transferable skills in the bedroom.

I’m sure many people wouldn’t find this sexy, but I include a video of my boyfriend from some years ago and I find it delightful to watch. I’d recommend that you put this up on your website too to try and break the perception that pole dancing is a supremely girly thing to do.

    The reason that more men don’t participate in pole dancing isn’t solely the fact that it’s a feminine pursuit; I imagine it’s because there is the problem of leg hair. Notice, in his video, Jay’s boyfriend has no hair on his legs.
