I have a pole in my lounge for exercise, it takes up less room than my airwalker or a bike.

Apparently only whore, sluts and dirty women pole dance.

OK I am not very good yet and I find it all difficult but I want to do it and the himself has no such thoughts other than where he was fitting it.Yes I would like to be able to get off the ground but it will (hopefully) happen eventually.

Tho the MIL seems to think it is holding the ceiling up even though it has been explained to her she thinks I have taken up polish dancing.

lol @ polish dancing

pole dancing is bloody strenuous, it works your whole body, a v good work out

MustRunMore has a pole in her lounge too

weird thing to do in your living room imo

If it is the only room with the space...

ok a weird thing to do in your house.

well, i think its fun

why is it weird to do it in your house?

weirder to do it in a club for men

LOL at polish dancing.

I would not want one in my living room, or in my house for that matter but each to their own.

You must have realised that you would get some comments from visitors though?

do you dance with the curtains open or closed ?

More cost effective tho flame ,'eh lol

I love my pole .
Which is in my front room. Might still be a pic on my profile.
And the kids love climbing it and swinging round on it.

Not been on it for a while though for various reasons

My advice (other than ignore the uneducated people that think its seedy!) is that you really have to do a bit every day, that way it does get so much easier. Also, never under estimate the power of doing ab trainiing. And practising moves on the floor at base of pole so you get the feel for it.

mustrunmore, are the knee high boots an absolute essential ?????

I think you are a little silly to have a photo like that of you on a public site, tbh

call me uneducated < holds hands up >

blah.

Pole dance if you want, don't if you don't want to.

I can't see how mustrunmore's pics are any more silly than having any pictures of yourself and your family on a public site.

It's hardly pornagraphic

This is so going to kick off

<its too early for popcorn>

have had my say

each to their own, in the privacy of their on home

< walks away >

*own

<wonders if AF has a gimp mask >

lol @ cost effective!

I have a pole in my bathroom. But it's more of an aid for getting out of the freestanding bath, as without it you can flounder around like a slippery seal.
I wonder if guests think I am a slut and a whore. How exciting.

can we have a picture boco so we can decide if you are a slut and a whore?

fab legs mustrunmore.
<not said in manner of pervy old man in dodgy raincoat emoticon>

Don't see the problem with the pictures. You can't really see your face.

Have done pole dancing in my dim and murky past, never had room at home for a pole though. It's not slutty nor does it make you a whore.
