Why do you feel the need to prejudge these young men? Just because they don't fit your stereotypical definition of what a man from the USA should be like? Let me tell you that your definition of what a man should look like makes up for about 10 percent of men in the world.

please elaborate? WHAT?

Yet another prejudgement... what they are doing isn't sexual and you put sex into it, why?

Yeah I agree pole dancing has a hyper sexualized relationship coming from the west. I find it ridiculous that many women will do it and say its just exercising albeit wearing 6 inch stilettos, skimpy outfits, and doing some of the most blatant sexual poses. I feel like these Chinese men are approaching it in a non sexual way and I can see it in their clothing, demeanor, and how they talk about it. But still I don't think its easy for people to separate pole dancing/exercise from strip club. There is just too much out there that will always put those two things together and I feel like there are other things you can do that work your body out. Gymnastics, pilates, yoga. Whatever happened to good ol kung fu! Hello!

At just under 50, I prefer to limit my exercise to lifting heavy mugs of beer.
