Thanks dude!

&gt; Are there any resources for guys who &gt; want to get into similar exercises? Working on the (admittedly dodgy) assumption you are somewhere in the Anglosphere, then, yes, there are plenty of pole-fitness studios with co-ed and even occasional men-only classes. BTW, ‘pole fitness’ or ‘pole-fitness’ is the search term that will likely get you more useful results when you are drilling down for studios in your specific neighbourhood. (The Puritan Protestants and their pathologically unhealthy relationship with physicality, and physical pleasure in particular, leave their mark on our culture in all sorts of unexpected ways.) A few examples from some very quick searches I ran just now through Google: Search terms: pole fitness classes men england Places found: Pole Sessions in Manchester, <a href="http://polesessions.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://polesessions.co.uk/</a> Academy of Poledancing in London, <a href="http://laphq.co.uk/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://laphq.co.uk/</a> Northern Pole Dance in Newcastle, <a href="http://northernpoledance.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://northernpoledance.com/</a> Search terms: pole fitness classes men australia Places found: Pole Fitness Australia in Brisbane, Queensland, <a href="http://polefitnessaustralia.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://polefitnessaustralia.com</a> Studio Verve in Sydney, New South Wales, <a href="http://studioverve.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://studioverve.com.au/</a> The Pole Boutique in Adelaide, South Australia, <a href="http://poleboutique.com.au/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://poleboutique.com.au/</a> Search terms: pole fitness classes men ireland Places found: Irish Pole Dance Academy, Dublin, <a href="http://irishpoledanceacademy.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://irishpoledanceacademy.com/</a> Pole Fitness in Cork, <a href="http://polefitnesscork.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://polefitnesscork.com/</a> Search terms: pole fitness classes men usa Places found: Boston Pole Fitness in Boston, Massachusetts, <a href="http://bostonpolefitness.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://bostonpolefitness.com/</a> Pole Fitness Studio in Las Vegas, Nevada, <a href="http://polefitnessstudio.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://polefitnessstudio.com/</a> The Pole Academy LLC in Greenville, South Carolina, <a href="http://thepoleacademy.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://thepoleacademy.com/</a> Hope this is at least diverting, if not useful.

I don't live in a very progressive part of the states for one. So the female only schools are a safety measure I think. Thanks though, it looks like a lot of fun!

I'm afraid my knowledge only extends as far as Ecdysiast in Portland, which IS co-ed /:)

Loved the comic! Quick question, I wonder if there male equivalent schools like this. It's something I've always been intrigued by but most of the schools are for women only (understandable). Are there any resources for guys who want to get into similar exercises?
