i forgot to mention i've only ever done it for my bf, i just realized you were talking about actual exotic dancing lol either way, it's fun to feel sexy.

[PoleHappyVek]

Congrats! I hope you had fun!! It can be super nerve wracking, especially at first Sometimes i like to do it in front of a mirror at home just for fun when i'm feeling sexy. Uber confidence boost (and it helps discover cool moves)

[PoleHappyVek]

Oh I can also shake my eyes and flare my nostrils really wide and like… Forever. Pretty useless except for making faces, I have the upper hand there lol

[PoleHappyVek]

I can whistle continuously and pretty well and I can replicate a dog’s bark perfectly!! Haha, I always fool my dog with that one

[PoleHappyVek]

I thought i'd add my 2 cents.

Never been a fan of cigarettes. Never had a puff in my life and i plan on keeping it that way. Pot on the other hand…

The first time i smoked pot, i was 16 and i was really scared that my parents would know somehow lol so i was paranoid but i honestly didn't feel any effect until my 4th time. Now, I smoke pot a couple times a week on and off (i take breaks, sometimes i get sick of it) and i've come across many different kinds and i have to say, different strains have different effects just like different types of alcohol have a different drunk. Sometimes pot makes me anxious, sometimes it relaxes me, sometimes it makes me talkative, sometimes lazy, sometimes it make me munch out and sometimes it even makes me clean my room! Of course it only makes me anxious if i'm already worried about something or there's something wrong so i avoid smoking it when i feel imbalanced, if you know what i mean.

I've never heard of some one getting home after smoking up and beating their significant other like i have heard with alcohol and other drugs. It definitely has SOME affect on your lungs but it depends entirely (if you smoke it) on your methode. Bong, pipe, vaporizer, hot knifing, single hitter, bubbler, apple pipe, joint. Lots of options! Vaporizer being the best for your lungs and to me the smoke tastes like roasted pumplin seeds…for some reason.

I'm all for the use of it as long as you have a handle on yourself. i'd love to at least see it decriminalized because honestly pot heads aren't a burden on society in my opinion, they don't belong in jail for smokin a joint after work.

I find it milder on my body than alcohol and even advil or tylenol. It helps me with lady cramps and head aches and it numbed my throat when i had mono(which was awful…never get mono!). It's helped my insomniac sisters sleep and it's helped someone i know eat more and believe me she needed to. For these reasons i don't have a problem with it myself. i see a lot of good in it. Stoners are sharers

Everyone has their opinion and i'm all for that. As so many have said before me, to each their own

So from what I hear it’s definitely completely individual. I’ll switch out my pole and try some stuff out. Maybe my short legs won’t be a problem maybe it will. Thanks for the input guys! I’m so happy to have such a good pole resource like this for my questions

[PoleHappyVek]

Today we celebrate your grand entrance into this world. You gave us veeners our name and i couldn't be more thankful. Stay strong and pole on! Happy birthday Veena

[PoleHappyVek]

Wow, you're all so very right!

Haha, i didn't realise how much i had written! So sorry lol

[PoleHappyVek]

Might as well share my experience

I live in Canada, Winnipeg to be precise. You know? The city that's colder than the north pole in the winter(up to -50 degrees C) and fairly hot in the summer(30-35 degrees C)…ohhh yes. In my poling lifetime I've tried chrome 45mm x-sport, TG 45mm AND 50mm x-pert and brass 50mm. No experience with stainless steel sorry

The one i own is 45mm TG x-pert

My favorite would have to be TG 50 mm. Yes, i have small hands but love skin grips and inverts and i just love the feel. I Wish wish wish i had know of my love for 50mm before ordering my pole but i'm honestly just happy to have my own pole and i know that if i can do something on a 45mm i can definitly do it on a 50 mm! Especially anything skin grippy

My hands don't get too sweaty, I don't have dry skin on my hands either. Just regular old hands i'd say. I have a few calluses right under my fingers on the inside of my hand from poling. I don't find the weather changes affect my poling too much. Sure if it's very very hot i will sweat more but i live in a pretty dry climate and i think that has a lot to do with it. Basically that's it.

About me; I'm 5 foot 4, 20 years old and have an average body type. I taught pole fitness until recently, teaching mostly spins and transitions, levels beginner to intermediate. The studio where i worked shut down so now i'm back to focusing on my own pole growth. I'm excited to finally work on skin grips!

I have kind of a mix of fair and olive skin. I guess i'm light olive skinned in case that helps. My siblings burn to death in the sun but i have the ability to tan and don't need a stupid high spf when wearing sunscreen. I CAN burn but definitly not as easily as my fair skinned friends.

Here's my 2 cents on the actualy different finishes; chrome is just too slippery for me, the brass was fine. It's GREAT for skin grips, oh my, but i really love spins so it was just too grippy for my liking and how i want to pole dance. Now for the titanium gold…This is the best of both worlds for me!! It it definitly grippier than chrome but not so grippy than it makes it hard for my hand to turn around the pole during spins like with the brass. The TG is my favorite by far

I guess you need to think of a few factors befoer choosing a pole. This is what i wish someone would have told me before i got my own pole:

What do you like to do while pole dancing? Spins, skin grips, inverts, simply for fun or fitness?

How far do you plan on taking your poling skills? competitions? inverts? skin grips? spins?

If you plan on taking you poling skills very far would you consider getting an x-pert or would a x-sport do just fine?

What are you using now? 45mm or 50mm? what finish?

How do u like it? Too slippery? Too grippy? Just right?

Basically it's all about preference and what you want to DO or eventually be able to do with your pole.

You can use these questions as a guideline to making the right decision.

Again, if you plan on going competitive, take into account the types of pole used for competitions. Maybe you want to do a lot of skin grips and inverts with which a 50mm would offer more grip but you prefer the 45mm anyway, that is just fine. As long as you understand what you need for you style of dance and what you want while taking into accound you future pole self as well.

I hope this helps! I know it would have helped me.
