 the male dancer
written by ade. at on 16.11. at 16:32:17 - as answer to: A Question for Male Dancers by Ballet fan/tights fan at >Gentlemen, I'll try to phrase this as academically as I can.>Suppose you had your own web site that featured photos of you performing in different roles. How would you feel if you learned that someone with a fetish for men in tights was using your photos for erotic stimulation and self-gratification? Do you think your response might differ depending on your sexual orientation and/or the gender of the person making such a use of your photos? From time to time this board receives postings that concern the sexuality of dancers and the sexuality of ballet itself, so I'd be curious to know what serious or professional dancers think of this maybe-not-quite-so-hypothetical situation. Thanks!>Ade. I have posted pictures of myself dancing on two websites, and thought about the same thing. I am a straight guy so I know what you mean, I don,t honestly know what to think! I think that there is a slight air of sexuality in ballet as you say, that is why it is disliked by puritans. Answers to this message:
