Whether you are new to pole and are curious about our roots, or a seasoned hobbyist who has made pole an integral part of your life, we recommend reading about the history of our fav activity.
Add this to your reading list or read alongside us this month and share your fav and least fav parts of the book. Written in 2011, Erotic Capital explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life. Social scientists have paid little serious attention to these modes of personal empowerment, despite overwhelming evidence of their importance. Hakim marshals a trove of research to show that rather than degrading those who employ it, erotic capital represents a powerful and potentially equalizing tool - one that we scorn only to our own detriment.
