to have installed a pole dancing pole in my living room...?

[superv1xen]

been having lessons for months now and decided to get one put in at home!

its amazing for fitness and so much fun, i have really toned up since doing it and i am thinking of possibly teaching it from home if i get good enough. and dp enjoys watching me practise although i reckon the novelty will probably wear off soon

my mum did a bit of a "cats bums mouth" when she first saw it though and dp darent even tell his mum i have got one! haha

Sallyseton has summed up my feelings exactly

Be a bugger for hoovering, surely? Even a Dyson Ball would have trouble with that, I reckon.

Tacky.

You and the kids can practise pole dancing moves after school. Maybe do a little show the next time they have friends over!

Trrrooooollllllll

I think OP is pulling our legs

Aw I think it's sweet! Maybe you could deepthroat the postman when he comes with a big parcel too.

How lovely.

lol tethersend!

I agree BoysAreLikeDogs

Where does she say she put it in her lounge?

I personally think it does require a high level of fitness to be able to swing yourself around on one of those things so if thats what you want OP then good for you and ignore all the cats bum mouths.

There was a wife swap episode on this.......

It says living room in the title.

YANBU, just lacking in taste and class to be honest. I'm sure we've had this thread before?

ERRRRRRRRRRRR, the thread title ????

Why not - I have one in mine.

I have not had any negative comments and if people want to talk about me behind my back and make me out to be thick or tacky then so be it, they can say what they like about me - I cant hear them so I don't care.

If my parish priest can accept it as a valid form of exercise, and I use it solely as a form of exercise then I see no problem.

Only down side is the MIL thinks I am polish dancing, can see what she means pole = polish.

Your parish priest pole-dances? Now that's a show I would pay for

Firing grapes out of my fanny could be considered a 'valid form of exercise', but I'm not sure I'd do it in my living room and tell my parish priest about it.

Although it would make adding lumps of sugar to his tea more interesting.

Why don't you just go to the gym like everyone else?

Probably because the gym doesn't act as a representation of pseudo-enlightenment.

Actually, I would veto a pole at least on the grounds that you can't hang clothes on it, which every other form of home gym equipment mainly serves for.

Just ick, really.

I think if you're going to do it, you need to go the whole hog. A little stage, disco ball, flashing lights etc.

How have you made it sturdy enough? Don't get me wrong, you may be 5 stone but even so - that's alot of nails and bolts in the ceiling.

Me, i would need Nelsons column....

Oh, and what Sallyseton said.

Don't forget to charge your DH £50 every time he wants to leave the house.

my friend actually had one installed in her living room - when she first told me, I was a bit but actually, once it was in, and the furniture in its normal place, it was hardly noticeable. She, like you OP, used it for exercise and was fed up of paying to go to a class, and even her kids use it! Not in a weird way - but there are lots of non-sexy, non-poledancy things you can apparently do with it. She tells me. Anyway, she now has set up her own business and teaches from home, and makes quite a living out of it. And I?m sure DH gets something out of it at night, but she won?t admit that!
I personally wouldn?t have one, and it does raise all sorts of questions, and could really be viewed as a bit odd - but I guess it?s a talking point, and it is your house!
