SuperV, my comment was aimed at your posting on a public forum a question which lots of people would find objection with, as has been pointed out by others - it was inevitable.
I would say that 99% of people who don't think it is a waltz with Lech Walesa would associate it with the sex trade.
Maybe that is wrong. Maybe in time it will become known more as a form of exercise, but right now a lot of people, including myself, consider it yet another activity which objectifies women. Sure, it empowers women, but generally using their body to a greater or lesser degree.
I don't know you & wouldn't be so forward as to suggest that you are in any way motivated by such a thing. You have stated that is not so & I accept that. Even if you were, you are free to make whatever choices you wish.
I do not post on here to deliberately provoke or offend, and I have already apologised if what I say has had that affect. I do however stand by my opinion.
For the record, I have been to two Lap/Pole Dancing clubs in the last 11 year period. I surveyed with interest what took place. The girls were only interested in talking to you if you would buy them a drink (or whatever the euphemism was) & the atmosphere was one of heightened sexual tension.
There may be clubs where all that occurs is girls on a stage, with no contact with the public, but what I saw was thinly veiled prostitution.
Sorry to go on, but I thought this might help with context.
Again, none of the above is directed at you, so please don't take offence. It's just that I think that it's hard enough to steer young girls & boys at an impressionable age towards a healthy outlook on relationships without a potentially confusing message.
And like Columbo, just one more thing. I have no desire to, but if I did visit such an establishment again, I'd most likely find my nads on toast for breakfast.
Sorry for the long post
