Dancing erotic pole

The most recent discussion I found myself in with my girlfriend involved the sexuality of the sport and whether we us guys find it erotic or sexually exciting. M y girlfriend is very passionate about pole sports and practices it often. She had recently decided to develop a routine for me as a wonderful and thoughtful birthday gift.

An erotic dance is a dance that provides erotic entertainment and whose objective is the stimulation of erotic or sexual thoughts or actions in viewers. Erotic dance is one of several major dance categories based on purpose, such as ceremonial dance , competitive dance , participation dance , performance dance and social dance. The erotic dancer's clothing is often minimal, and may be gradually decreased or eliminated altogether. In some areas of the United States where exposure of nipples or genitalia is illegal, a dancer may wear pasties and g-string to stay within the law. Nudity , however, is not a requirement of erotic dance. The culture and the ability of the human body is a significant aesthetic component in many dance styles.

Pole dance combines dance and acrobatics centered on a vertical pole. This performance art form takes place not only in gentleman's clubs as erotic dance , but has also recently gained popularity as a mainstream form of fitness, practiced by many enthusiasts in gyms and in dedicated dance studios. Pole dance requires significant muscular endurance and coordination as well as sensuality, in exotic dancing.

We agree with many of you that the word exotic is offensive, racist and othering to specific groups of folks. We have listened to the community here at Ecdysiast and we stand with you. This is not new or some left-wing fringe school of thought, but rather mainstream and also the correct grammatical use of the word. We have heard our community and we stand with you. Stand with us and we can all stand united.
