Dallas Strip Clubs: Burlesque Shows Us the Importance of Anticipation
These days, however, you log onto XTube (think YouTube, but dirty), pick your fetish, and find hundreds of options that cut right to the extremely graphic, sometimes distressingly clinical chase.
You could make an argument that there’s a lot to be said for the widespread democratization of sexuality. Indeed, one of the things I admire about XTube is that it shows that everyone can be sexy, even if “mainstream” society has rejected them.
But I also think that as a culture we need to find a more happy medium between the graphic and the puritanical. The act of burlesque reminds us of the simple glories of taking your time and allowing anticipation to build before you deliver the proverbial money shot.
Here’s hoping there are a few more young people out there willing to embrace such seemingly antiquated ideals, because these are essential life lessons that you can’t learn on a stripper pole.
