I just wasted an hour watching nothing but SFW pole dancing videos on Youtube… And I have to say, I like the USA 2nd place runner up a bit more. She’s got some good stuff too, maybe even a bit more technical, but she suffers cause her set was a bit slower paced I think. h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCECAMrFmBQ&feature=related (ignore the long and sappy intro) ---

That might have cost her some points. ---

In order to fuck her, I’d need some kind of hydraulic lift to keep up as she moved up and down the pole – maybe a cherry picker. 😉 ---

> [@smurfslappa](#): > > It’s still plenty smutty and carnal to me, just a highly evolved formed of smut. Perhaps we caught a glimpse of porn from the 3000’s? It’s not smut. This is a woman wearing a very modest bikini performing an astounding combination of dance and gymnastics. She’s an athlete. Maybe I have a weird perspective. When I was a kid, my Dad was a representative for AGVA, the [Associated Guild of Variety Artists](http://www.agvausa.com/about.html), so a lot of family friends were performers, including strippers, fan dancers and other “exotics”. I can appreciate this type of performance for the skill and effort on display because I got some idea of how hard they worked. What’s she’s doing is amazing, and erotic, but she is not thinking about sex while doing it - she’s thinking about maintaining her grip, or hooking her ankle to be able to support the rest of her body. ---

Damn! How does she get gravity to ignore her like that? ---

Sounds like a too few many of my past sexual partners… Very impressive throughout, though the heel rotation thing certainly brought it to another level. ---

> [@smurfslappa](#): > > Twelve year old Chinese girls on poles would ruin the whole event for me. Haha, well I thought that the whole thing was rather um… technical, not much eroticism in it.
