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)

my discomfort with being sexualized does not denote a discomfort with my sexuality.
and i guess what i was trying to get at was, as KristyEB put it, the shallowness of some people.
i recognize brainstorma's observation that fire is highly erotic. i guess i don't have enough faith in the audience to separate sex from sensuality to the point where they can appreciate the art of my performance.
of course, this lack of faith comes from somewhere. my first fire show ever, i performed in front of 300 people, and many of the people in the front of the crowd shouted at me to take my clothes off. needless to say, i very discouraged by their reaction.
hmm.. thankx for the helpful insights. that 'root' is something that i haven't examined yet.
plus, my post above was written only days after a similar event happening this past hallowe'en. exasperation takes its toll...
anyway, later days!

Mech, you're gettin desperate if you think that Unicycling is sexy.

There were the CUTEST girls at the EJC doing amazing unicycle tricks and you know what? It wasn't sexy.

We've had previous threads about "who defines what/who is sexy" but I can assure you, if unicycling is getting your blood to boil... well... perhaps its a fetish more than a generally accepted sexyness.

I can't think of many other juggling type hobbies that are LESS sexy than unicycling.

Cool, Yes. Fun, Yes. Wacky, Yes. Sexy... umm no.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Haha, unicycle fetish

Hm, I don't think poi or staff makes a man sexy, I think its the "whole deal."
For instance, a horrible guy(something like me ) does poi and does it quite good(not really like me) still isn't sexy(fetishes, I don't count you in).
But a sexy man(or woman for all that matters) increases his "sexyness" by doing poi. It is an addition, not a standard being-sexy thing.

This occurred to me last night when I noticed women drooling over fire speeding going down the street. If firemen (damn them and their chiseled features!) are sexy because they're brave, put out fires and wear uniforms, then poi isn't sexy because we're rather silly and start fires.

My proposed solution: we need a uniform!

I was actually thinking that fireman's pants/suspenders would be cool to spin fire in... until I learned that they were a few hundred dollars.

Oh, wait, you guys were kidding.

Frankly, I think Hels and Bam in matching nurse uniforms would be a better suggestion.

YUMMY!

Just got an image in my head about a firetruck being used in a performance, with paraffin instead of water - oh the carnage, death and destruction, will somebody please think of the children...!

A very interesting notion. What would a fire spinner uniform look like?

Meh. Firemen *shrugs* So what?

Gimme dark and mysterious. And not dark as in covered in soot, I'm sorry, no.

Allthough, my friend's apartment overlooks the backyard of the training firestation, and waking up in the morning to see a bunch of young, fit men jumping about and all... heh... Something I could get used to waking up to!

But... right, dark, mysterious

With the utmost respect to all, i can't believe anyone would deny finding twirling sexy. Firelight against the skin, movements that, through the wieght of the poi/staff, have to be smooth and fluid, the intense facial expresions.....
At the risk of having to skuttle off to Pounce's R rated thread if i talk about this for too long, twirling, in particular poi, is one of the sexiest things i have seen. Guy or girl, no matter what they are wearing (although a friend wears a long sleavless black dress with side splits you just catch glimpses of skin as a poi swings past ubbloco) .
However i agree with those who have come before me. There is a big difference between finding someone sexy and wanting to have sex with them. And i don't think that to find something sexy is to take-away or not appriciate the art. I have been in periods of my life when i probably would have thought differently, although i am now stoked when people tell me they found a twirl sexy, and i openly tell friends when i found there performance sexy.
I should mension here though that people who go overboard are not what i would consider sexy. Sexyness to me has to have a naturalness and an honesty, and a girl i am thinking of (and others i have seen) make so much of an effort to be noticed that i actually have a hard time watching them. Before each performance she changes into a backless shirt with a plunging necklines (I am not usually one to dissagree with showing the human body; bring on the nakedness biggrin), that, combined with an amazing dance show, makes the poi lose alot of the respect they deserve.
Twirling is definetly sexy, sorry, i didn't mean to turn this into a bitch... It is definately the flowing dance movements as much as all of the bare skin. I remember seeing this guyl twirl in jeans and a jersey once and..... ubblove.
Might check out Pounces thread now.....

Further to previous considerations on this site, a friend (who also posts on HOP but wishes, for the moment, to remain anonymous) and I believe it to be possible to have sex whilst doing poi. If we send in a video of ourselves performing this feat, will it be instantly censored, and will you all promise not to laugh?

The video would be in the best possible taste (of course): all naughty bits will be discretely hidden, there will be no cheesy music, and I don't have a ridiculous porn moustache.

Well?
