Omg i’m so sorry that happened to you.. did the doctor tell you if there’s anything you can do about it?

Nothing like that has ever happened to me, but i’ve had 2 incidences of a clump forming under my skin, from pressure from the pole – one on my thigh from when i was first learning the hip-hold, and one recently near my belly-button from doing a very stupid & clumsy cradle spin. However, both seem to go away on their own just fine.

So i don’t know, it does seem odd that this would happen from inverting. Do you think it’s possible that it was caused by the pressure of the pole against your stomach? the pole is hard metal, and i would imagine that if it presses against a sensitive area with too much force that it could cause some injury.

I know of a girl that had something similar happen to her, i don’t know the details though. She was into martial arts, but she never mentioned any relation between her GI issue and physical activity- as far as i knew, the causes were unknown.
Let us know what happens, i really hope you figure it out & get better real soon! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

I don’t think i can be much help as this has never happened to me, but i would think that could happen from a really grippy pole & gripping it too tightly while spinning? what move were you doing? I’d say use neosporin for it heal faster… hope it gets better soon! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

[azriel]

Ok.. i’m glad you feel better and are motivated https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif. sorry if i dragged this on, i tend to over-analyze issues like this sometimes! Come to the chat room if you feel like chatting- there are several of us there now!

Some men are a little jealous that they’re women are posting videos up of themselves dancing around what is considered a very sexy and sometimes they feel a personal experience that should be for "their eyes only." https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

I really don’t think my hubs is jealous (we were already married when I was a dancer) that I posted it here, he seemed like he was genuinely excited when I told him that I had posted. I think it was more that he was embarassed (embarassed is probably not the right word to describe it, maybe disappointed is more accurate) that I wasn’t as good as the gal he watched and that I’m just not worth watching until I am.

Although that wasnt me you quoted, i just wanted to make clear what i mean by "jealous" in my previous reply to this post. I don’t mean jealous as in feeling angry or threatened by other guys seeing you, or worried about you doing it in public. I mean "jealous" in the sense that he’s away at work, and you’re home & get to play.. this type of jealousy can actually lead to a sort of competitive attitude, where a person wants to make the other feel that what their doing isn’t so great. And this in turn can actually make himself believe that it’s really not so great, and this eases his envious feelings.

I just honestly cant believe that he thinks you’re not worth watching- your video had many sexy elements in it, even if some of your moves weren’t exactly perfect. but whatever, like you & i & others said previously, doing it for yourself is what matters most. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Faerie-wench- i got so sad reading your post- it’s so discouraging to feel like something that you’ve worked so hard at & are so proud of is unappreciated, especially by the person that you want to share it with the most! And who wouldn’t want their guy to enjoy watching them & find them confident & sexy? I actually just watched your video, and i really think you’re doing great, and the last thing i would say is that you look insecure! Actually, you seem extremely confident in your dancing, & i give you major props for uploading an unedited video (and to all other women here who do the same)! It took me 9 months to get the courage to post an uncut video. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif

So i really can’t see why your husband would think that and have that attitude towards you about this… but then i thought about it (cos this type of issue seems to be so common & i get really frustrated by it!) & i agree with kobajo that some men just feel a little bit jealous or intimidated by their women pole dancing.

Plus your man is away in Iraq, and his woman is at home dancing with a pole & uploading videos. I wouldnt be surprised if actually he did watch your whole video, but because he feels abit intimidated, he wants to make it seem like its no big deal- sort-of like a defense mechanism to ease his own feelings about it. And like you said, you can’t know what kind of day he was having, being a marine surely isn’t a job that fosters a stable emotional state!

I’m not saying this just to make you feel better, i’m just trying to think : if i was a marine guy in Iraq, and my wife sends me a video of her poledancing all sexy (cos your dancing WAS sexy, regardless of the cute funny stuff), meanwhile i’m stuck at a base or smthg with a bunch of other men, taking orders, worried about war or whatever- I don’t know, but i think i’d be a little jealous, & so i’d try to persuade myself that its no big deal, thus acting indifferent to her about it, and maybe i’d come off a lil hostile too, not wanting it "to get to her head". Don’t know if that makes any sense, but i’m having a hard time explaining it! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Either way, i know it sucks, but please don’t let him affect how you feel about poling.. like you said, do it for yourself, and if he likes it, great, if not, OH WELL! all of us here like it, it’s obvious from your comments, and most importantly, YOU like it. But you never know, maybe when he gets back home & settles down he’ll have different reactions. I understand you not wanting to dance for him now, & you don’t have to, but i’d let him watch if he’s there & just be indifferent as to whether or not he likes it, since you’re doing it for YOU. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

Oh geez , sorry this is so long, hope i wasn’t ranting on & on.. i just get so upset when we women get so negatively affected by men’s attitudes about something that we try so hard for, and want them to enjoy watching us do. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
