Pole can be sensual without being erotic, it just depends on each persons interpretation. Look at Jenyne Butterfly and Jess Leann Norris, they are sensual and artistic and not in the slightest bit erotic. This is the style I love the most.<br /><br />I'm very proud of the progress I've made in pole and it has changed my entire body for the better. I didn't start to 'make myself feel sexy' or 'for my boyfriend', I started for myself - so I could achieve something I've never been able to before and to push my body to extremes that I never thought physically possible for me. I like the sexy side of pole but I also like to be able to show my family my achievements and if it was still over sexualised I wouldn't want to do that! <br /><br />As long as pole is accepted as a form of art and fitness without always been associated with gentleman's clubs, I'm happy!Hannah Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005935213413611683noreply@blogger.com
