Know I'm not a guy, but to my knowledge pole dancing classes are widely available in many gyms, community halls and dance studio alongside Zumba and Pilates. Its just another exercise class!!
Have to agree it's thought of as a male club entertainment feature, but it does require a good deal of body flexibility and strength to be good at the activity. So if she wanted to do it for herself there is no issue
Depends on whose pole she'd be dancing on.
Id love if my wife took lessons and id put a pole in the bedroom
When you make peace with authority you become authority
Jim fucking morrison
Have friends who do it. It gets your abs in amazing shape and in order to flip u have to be strong!
So you rock for this!
Besides being erotic it does make your muscles long and lean.
I cannot imagine anyone objecting to sexy exercise!
Seriously cool!
I am seriously AMAZED at some of the moves I've seen ... takes an incredible amount of strength!!
Thanks everyone for the responses. I believe I will get a practice pole for home. The outfits they wear are seriously hot too! The exercise will be great..i have managed to lose more than 100lbs in the last 15 months or so and toning up my body will feel great! 47 isn't to old for this...right? and all the positive responses from the guys lead me to believe he will be similar in his response.
I installed a pole for her in the basement myself.
I would be fine with it. It is a great form of working out and I would love to see her practicing.
I just added a link to the post at the top of page with a 2 min vid of beginning pole dancing if anyone wants to watch
Thats awesome..I cant wait to get started and see where it goes.
I think I can safely say, a brass pole would be installed in our bedroom immediately, and friends might be invited over for the show. ;)
Sounds awesome to me! I have trouble imagining a guy on this site objecting to it. And super huge congrats on you losing 100lbs. THAT is no small feat!
I'd encourage her to do it.
I would encourage her. I understand it is fabulous exercise and one hell of a workout.
I don't see many men saying no to this. If I wanted to do this and my man (if I had one) was against this for some reason, I'd be curious as to why. I'm not asking to become a stripper.
I am pleased to see all the positive responses. I originally started the topic thinking that as "pole dancing" is thought of as something strippers do, the men might object to their wives doing what strippers do.
For the sake of offering a different opinion I wanted to come up with some negatives but I can only think of one (and it's a bit of a stretch). I would be a little worried about others getting word of this and either making a judgmental comment ("Oh... isn't that for [I]strippers[/I]? Why is [I]she[/I] doing that?") or saying something rude and crass ("Hey you should invite me over to watch her practice. I'll even give her a [I]big tip[/I] if she is good enough, ha ha.") and potentially ruining the fun. Granted, this is a pretty minor concern and can easily be avoided or alleviated by exercising a little discretion with those friends (or friends of friends) that might have prudish tastes or a be prone to crude comments.
But don't get me wrong, I must state that I think that this is an incredible idea. I seriously don't think that most men would have any problem with it in the slightest.
I would be highly approving for a number of reasons:
1) It will get her into shape or help her stay in shape, depending on the situation. It's a no brainer.
2) The classes should give her an incredible self-esteem boost meaning that when I see her, more smiles. (and who doesn't just love a woman's face when a genuine smile is plastered on it?)
3) She will develop some skills that will have an obvious benefit when it comes to foreplay and other bedroom activities.
4) It's a great excuse to buy sexy outfits and in my opinion, one can never have enough of those.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
