I .... I didn't want to find out this way

I've seen a woman swing off the pole, come flying at me crotch first, and catch the stage railing above my head and show me things only her doctor should see. So the pole spins; it still takes a lot of skill to be a stripper. (A buddy had a pole in her living room, I couldn't even pull myself up once.)

Who is this buddy and why is it in their living room

She was a stripper (last I saw her), but she also did (clothed) pole dancing competitions. I'd house sit her husky when she went out of town. I watched some of her comp videos, but I never saw her preform at her club (I was her boss at a restaurant, would have been weird).

I do pole dancing and it is an awesome workout and tons of fun, it's not stripping though. You should definitely try it.

That's awesome, I think we can all admire the strenght and flexibility pole dancers have without making it sexual. It's just that a lot of people put pole dancing and strip clubs together somehow. I've never been to one though so idk about that but I will definitely try it one day.

I've never been to a strip club either haha, you could say pole dancing is similar except with more clothes on and focusing on the strength and elegance of the human body rather than its sexual attraction. People do make assumptions that when you say you're a pole dancer, you're also a stripper which to me is hilarious. Also yay! I'm sure you'll do great, it's pretty addictive

That's pretty cool, I have nothing against strippers so if that's what they want to do then awesome, you have to be pretty confident with your body for that. Never been to a strip club or have friends who are strippers so I don't know how all that works if I'm honest.
