Even a Chinese pole, with a maleperformer, can be sexual. I think there is a great deal of sexiness in this Chinese pole video of Remi Martin:

Saphirecatzeye, your opinion is really interesting. I think contortionism is *definitely* viewed by some folks as *very* sexual – the whole "sexy flexy" (bendy in bed) thing! Does that annoy you?
Personally, I’m so in awe at the superhuman strengths and abilities of gymnasts, contortionists, pole dancers, aerial acrobats alike that the presence of heels, a sculpted male torso, or booty popping doesn’t even register on my scandal-o-meter!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
I LOVE that performance by remi martin! for me i see it as the furthest away from being sexual , the song ‘Hope there’s someone’ by Antony & Johnsons is so emotional , and if you look up him playing it live on YouTube he is known for showing such passion in his singing. I just feel it was pure beauty and expression. Like Remi was connecting to Antony’s feelings though dance. but thats just how i see it.
And after you mentioned it about contortion being viewed as sexy, I know people do see it that way. But it doesnt have the stigma like pole dancing does. I’ve also had alot more guys think its weird and painful looking than respond the other way. (in my personal at-home life not internet) But i’m also a big fantasy (books and movies) fan, so I see contortion and pole as forms to take you to ‘another world’ almost https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gifHmm.. perhaps I would have been more true to say "sensual" instead of "sexual" at the start of my post here. Oh what a fine line that is sometimes!
Contortism is damn cool, whatever it is!
Everyones opinions here are really interesting! Great thread!

Oh my god Trena – you are just the sweetest sweetheart ever!!!! Thanks so much for that lovely post!! (In the risk of getting sappy and making everybody cringe).. Ladies, let me tell you that it is in fact Trena that has the amazing pole skills! You haven’t seen the half of it in her vids!!
Trena it was *amazing* to have you and Liby come all the way to our studio for class – only an hour’s drive?! That was pretty good man!! You are both freakin’ deadly at pole (sorry, Irishism)! It’s super that there’s so many talented gals in this class, and we’re all all interesting in doing similar things, and also bringing new ideas to the table for each other!! It’s the best motivation ever, I think!!!
Can’t wait to do it all again next week – this time I wont have just had my Thesis defense that morning so I won’t be so wrecked, and grunting and turning bright red after doing every move!! Haha!!
Love ya Trena! xx

Deetron, I have been having a conversation over on a bodybuilding forum discussing soy in men. I will post a few articles for you. Notice release dates. There was a lot of pseudoscience floating around a few years back and many "experts" are still basing their theories on outdated information.
Women With Breast Cancer Who Consume Soy Food Have Lower Risk of Cancer Recurrence
If you look to the right side of this article you will see related stories. There is a lot of new research on breast cancer and soy. There is also a lot of new research involving men and soy.
Interesting, chemgoddess, and it’s a fairly recent study – I’m not sure what to think with the soy foods any more! Well, I don’t enjoy tofu anyway so I guess it’s an easy decision for me! Thanks for the link.
-
Haha discombobulated!!! That’s how I looked for sure!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Yuck, I hate tofu too!!! I have an excuse not to have to eat it… my mom is a breast cancer survivor, and believe it or not, she has been advised by her consultant to steer clear of soy products!
This is a typical article that you might find if you google "Is soy a health food?"
http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/soy.htm"I guess there are many "studies" both for and against the health-giving properties of soy products – but I’d love to know others’ opinions on this matter.

I always wondered if you could do a deathlay by doing an aerial invert real close to the ceiling straight into hip hold. Then, if your feet could press against the ceiling, could you just bring your back up into a superman-style without having to get the hand around behind your ass? ..never tried it.. has anybody else?
Once I did a kind of pathetic deathlay by reverse caterpillar-ing up the pole until my feet were at the ceiling!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
That’s as far as Im confident to go anyway because I’m afraid of the sliding metal piece up at the top of the x-pole.. imagine you did a deathlay with your thighs against that and then it decided to slide!!!! Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif -
Thanks for the hot tip, Allegra – and Felix does it too! Nice!
-
Well done – it’s one nice, positive article in a sea of slander about pole dancing!
-
StellarMotion, that’s hilarious! I think you should do a vid of yourself in a teddy hold reading the paper and having a coffee!! Reminds me of a quote from the end of this shoulder mount tutorial – "you could do anything you want while you’re up here.. eat dinner, perhaps!" –

I’d pay good money to see that actually happen!!

amyxshi, what a clever transition at 0:55 of the Amy Impey vid! Can’t wait to try that out!!
PS: I think all pole-related dance/work/gymnastics/tricking/comedy is interesting – doesn’t have to be sexy!
-
Hi Allegra, do you lash on the shaving cream *just* before going up on the pole? Or put in on a few hours in advance?
-
best of luck!
