This Christmas buy her a stripper pole
• Sexual Health
Mom 'n' Sis are taking up stripping for fun, exercise and better sex lives.
Among the other lessons in Stauffer's Art of Exotic Dancing for Everyday Women, based at her adult learning center in Malvern, Pa., but taught in more than 10 cities: How to run one's fingers through one's hair, how to position a feather boa, how to grind one's hips while standing, kneeling, crawling and leaning against a wall, and how to remove an imaginary bra and twirl it around one's head before chucking it across the room in devil-may-care fashion. Stauffer also has the women pair up and move toward each other while practicing the "step-drag," an awkward saunter that among new students often looks like a step-limp. She encourages the pairs to stare deeply into each other's eyes, honing their all-important eye contact skills, which she says helps some students "ask for a raise at work."
