I am not a slut or a whore

[babyicebean]

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.

I think you are right shiney

about me being old

i think that mum swings around on a pole and that must be pretty cool

its not pole dancing as we know it - and has no context for them.

i wouldn't want one btw - i have no inclination to dance around for dh's pleasure

bloody hell, I am leaving this thread

people more articulate than myself keep coming along and putting what I think much more succinctly

< goes off to read a dictionary >

I presume that dildo left lying on the mantelpiece is for poking the fire, then ?

only if it's metal

that would make it a 'hot poker' < see what i did ther

if it was really heavy you could use the dildo to work your biceps - nought sexual about that.

and that whip is merely a fly swatter....

But, just because people have punchbags in their house/do boxercise doesn't mean that they are members of Fight Club or beat the shite out of people on a regular basis does it?
I personally wouldn't have a pole in my living room (Not least because of my size and the fact that I live in a new build matchstick house, I'd quite literally bring the house down), but it is a valid form of exercise and how would children know it was even remotely sexual?

I like that logic lizzylou, thank you. Dh wants a punchbag on the back of the house, but I initally said not a good idea cos it would look so chavvy But you've just made me see his point of view actually. We know what we'd be using it for, so who cares what people think? Altho I think I am convincing him that gloves and pads are cheaper, smaller, and better for our relationship as we can train together

Oh, and fwiw, you could prob put a pressure mounted pole in even a paper thin new build, as long as it spans two joists.

mrm, sorry but you have made me pmsl

a punchbag is chavvy but a pole in your living room that you gyrate around in knee-high boots is not ???

that is bloody priceless

Well, I guess I can see how you see it! But I meant really to have it hanging on the wall. Like when people have basketball goals on the front of their house or dartboards in their living room; I know its prob because they have nowhere else to put them, like I have no other room for the pole. But it does look terrible. My pole, on the other hand , is shiney and very thin, and actually many people have been here and later said 'what pole?'. Maybe we have very unobservant guests!

mrm, you are taking my middle-aged judginess in good part

tell me to fuck off any time you like

You know what I was thinking while I was mulling this putting ds2 to bed... how old are your kids AF? Can they read? Have they ever asked why you call yourself that username? Tbh, I'd be far more worried about trying to explain that to ds1 than him swinging round the pole a bit. Saying its ok to use bad words in some contexts just wouldnt cut it, because I've told him how bad it is to say certain things and therefore he should only use language he knows is polite. I'm not having a go at you at all, I'm just trying to show that it depends where you draw the line. I would very rarely swear in RL, let alone think of a nickname like that, however it came about and whatever the story is. I actually think its quite funny and certainly gets you remembered, but whoever it was that called me an exhibitionist could apply the same logic to you and your mname surely?
