Does anyone else find that watching someone of the opposite sex twirling poi (very well) and dancing incredibly erotic?
Being male i can confirm that even my friends who don't spin usually have a open jaw when a female spins!
But, i've found that most of my female friends find watching a man twirl a staff more erotic! (so natually i have just started to learn staff)
Any thoughts (apart from that)

i have to add my opinion on this topic....the very first time i saw poi was a friend of mine who i had never thought of in that way...then i did and nothing ever happened on it... BUT it has definately been planted in me, i saw a few girls twirling last tues. night and i couldn't believe how good they looked, as good if not better than my friend...and i'm trying to slowly coax another friend into fire cos she's attractive now and i cant imagine what she'll look like with a fire halo but seriously it always looks good, and it always make people look TONNES more attractive cos we are all crazy...

I can honestly say that 99% of spinning that I've seen I havent thought of as being sexy.
Beautiful, Skilled, Smooth, Entertaining, Entrancing, but rarely sexy.
I rememeber tho when I first got into it I thought it was sexier, but to a major extent that's past. Simply because almost all people twirl moves they havent nailed well enough to groove.

I think that some of the attraction may very well be simply either a) the actual act of spinning, an act that takes a lot of coordination and skill, or b) the fact that someone is spinning fire around their body.
in reference to a), a lot of the attraction i have seen shown, such as to footballers, stuff like that, is from the skill and determination side of things. Say there was a really hot footballer, who was really pretty crap at it, and a pretty average footballer, who was awesome, chances are, a lot of the attraction would go to the really awesome player. I reckon this might be due to the fact that most people, subconsciously, want the best for their offspring. Having a child with someone that has proven their dexterity, determination etc is much more desireable, from a genetic, darwinian, survival of the fittest point of view, methinks.
The same thing works, albeit in a slightly way, with point b). The act of playing with fire is immensly dangerous. we all know that, the public all knows that. to be able to take that element, and make art with it, play with it, and appear not to be scared by it, generally takes a heck of a lot of courage, which is another genetic plus.
Basically, i think that it may not be so much an act of consciously thinking 'man, s/he looks sooo sexy doing that' but more of a subconscious 'that person has many desireable traits that they are exhibiting. if i were to produce offspring with that person, there is a high chance that my offspring will have something approaching that level of ability/courage/whatever, and thus will be able to succeed better in life.' and thus, the subconscious mind influences the conscious mind into attraction.
Of course, i could be completely wrong here, but thats what i reckon goes on.

i agree with that heaps. the best example for me is rowers...a really good rower is the image of perfection - and makes me go completely weak at the knees regardless of how the individual may look off the water.
so *thinks back to last time she was with others twirling* its probably the same with twirling (howeever i can never get to gatherings!!! grrrrr!!!!)

Fire twirling, or even glowstick twirling can be amazingly sexy. Depending on how the performer "dances" with the poi, it can be downright erotic, though purely allegorically.
Art's primary motive, in my opinion, is to reach and effect another's emotional state of mind through means other than traditional communication. Sexuality is a big part of the human emotional make-up, and is a perfectly acceptable expression and interpretation of poi if you ask me.
It IS a way of dancing, is it not? Dancing in any way has the potential to attract positive sexual attraction, as it puts your body and physical capabilities on display. That doesn't disrespect the art, or change the "ego" of it.
I feel the word ego has been grossly misused in this thread. Art doesn't have an ego, but humans do. Ego is not by definition bad, it's the balance of your ego and emotions that determines whether or not you have too much "ego." Poi is an artistic outlet. You may express a different personality from your norm with it, or use it to bare your soul and true "ego" to your audience. I'm really not sure what you all are on about with this whole ego thing.
There is no black and white question about ego involved here. It's simply an element of the human personality that may come through your spinning in many different ways. There is no yes or no, positive or negative when it comes to the ego's involvement in an artistic outlet such as poi. IMO, anyways.

I've only ever seen two firetwirlers, one was my ex.
I remember my ex attempting to seduce me when he was twirling staff. It was before I even saw or touched a staff. I was sitting on the ground in awe and he came up really close and circled around me and whatnot, just looking into my eyes. But that's all a bad memory because he was an arsehole.I wish I could see more males twirling then I could answer the whole question of this thread.
It's like when you see someone doing a really great thing and you see them in like a new light. Like the local production I saw this week, I knew quite a few people in the show, but I'd never seen them sing or perform like they did...and seeing them now just makes me respect them and admire them.
I can't say I've ever had the experience with seeing someone of the opposite sex (other then the ex) firetwirl....I live in a small town and I don't know any other firetwirlers.

I have never really thought of the act of spinning as sexy, though I tend to find other spinners more yummy than non-spinners. However if I am in lust with someone who spins/juggles, it is extra yummy to watch them because they are obviously doing what they love and expressing something of themselves.
