"A British university has placed an advertisement looking for a lap-dance researcher with experience studying the erotic dance industry, The Telegraph reported.
The University of Leeds advertised the position for its school of sociology and social policy, according to the paper.
The advertisement reads: "Research Officer -- The rise and regulation of lap dancing and the place of sexual labor and consumption in the night time economy," MyFoxChicago.com reported.
The university requires "prior experience of conducting research in the female sex industry," MyFoxChicago.com reported.
The researcher will study the "rise, tolerance and integration of sexual consumption and sexual labor displayed through the erotic dance industry."
Sociologists at the school intend to interview 300 exotic dancers in the U.K., as well as managers and regulators, as part of their research."
Uhhh, where do I sign up? :)
I'm all for consenting adults doing as they wish, but let's make sure we include how such industries exploit and abuse women, girls, men and boys as well, for the sake of eroticsm.
ReplyDeleteWell thanks kill joy :) I agree with you I was just attempting to be funny...
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like interesting research. Is exotic dancing, as Sarah Silverman would say, a gateway job?
ReplyDeleteI know you were just kidding, COE, and I can take a joke. You'll have to excuse me for being sensitive to an area that is known for exploitation of women in particular. Most women I know feel the same way as it perpetuates the 'woman are objects' mentality that is extremely difficult to change.
