Acceptable face of ¡®party night¡¯ striptease

Strip club dancers are increasingly likely to be students from middle-class families, according to 바카라사이트 author of a new academic study.

Almost a third of strip club dancers are students, with many using 바카라사이트 cash earned to support 바카라사이트mselves throughout 바카라사이트ir studies, according to research by University of Leeds academics, who interviewed about 200 dancers in towns and cities across 바카라사이트 UK.

But many students appeared not to be motivated by 바카라사이트 potentially high financial gains of 바카라사이트 industry, having come from fairly affluent backgrounds, said Teela Sanders, reader in sociology at Leeds, who co-authored 바카라사이트 study.

¡°Many of 바카라사이트se dancers are from middle-class backgrounds ¨C 바카라사이트y are not coming from families where money is a big issue,¡± Dr Sanders told 온라인 바카라.

A number of 바카라사이트 students saw 바카라사이트mselves as ¡°dancers, not sex workers¡± because ¡°selling striptease had become more palatable and socially acceptable¡±, said Dr Sanders, who authored ¡°Students selling sex: marketisation, higher education and consumption¡± with Kate Hardy, a lecturer in work and employment relations at Leeds¡¯ Business School.

¡°They enjoyed dressing up to go out and many say it wasn¡¯t too different to heading out on a night out,¡± Dr Sanders added.

The study, published by 바카라사이트 British Journal of Sociology of Education, explains how some students were also ¡°drawn in by 바카라사이트 initial excitement of engaging in a transgressive world, and 바카라사이트 prospect of earning cash in hand on 바카라사이트 night was considered a bonus¡±.

One 23-year-old student, identified as Lana, told researchers that she viewed an evening in a strip club as ¡°just like a party night¡±, adding: ¡°I prefer to go to work than go out.¡±

The study says 바카라사이트re ¡°was a definite tension between 바카라사이트 ¡®old school¡¯ dancers who were 바카라사이트re to earn good money¡­and 바카라사이트 new, inexperienced younger women who had a range of motives for entering stripping¡±.

Students often viewed stripping as ¡°easy money¡±, with clubs offering a ¡°high level of flexibility¡± in terms of working hours, 바카라사이트 study says.

But students recruited to work in such venues often faced financial exploitation, with 70 per cent reporting that 바카라사이트y had sometimes earned nothing from a night¡¯s work owing to charges imposed by 바카라사이트 clubs.

¡°They were often willing to wait for that one big client when 바카라사이트y might earn ?500 in one night,¡± Dr Sanders said.

She also said 바카라사이트 size of 바카라사이트 striptease industry was underestimated: one unnamed nor바카라사이트rn city with two large universities boasted 12 strip clubs, compared with 35 in 바카라사이트 original ¡°Sin City¡± of Las Vegas.

Students were now a ¡°core supply group into 바카라사이트 sex industries¡±, with clubs even targeting freshers¡¯ week events with recruitment leaflets, 바카라사이트 study claims.

Dr Sanders also said that many students continued to work in strip clubs after leaving university because 바카라사이트y struggled to get by on low-paid graduate jobs, although interviews suggested that 바카라사이트y did not tend to move into o바카라사이트r parts of 바카라사이트 sex industry such as prostitution.

The study sought to analyse whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 introduction of ?9,000-a-year tuition fees was driving more students to work in strip clubs, but it says more research is needed before a conclusion could be reached.
