Back story: Some months ago I picked up pole dancing, and needless to say IM HOOKED. Seriously, I recommend it to anyone and every one. It’s a hell of a workout and soooo fun. Anyways, my new passion has led me to purchase a pole of my own, and we recently installed it this past weekend.

So my husband went out to do something, and I stayed home with my son, who is 1.5 years old. I took him to where my pole was, and held him while walking around and doing dips around the pole. Needless to say my son was having a blast! He was giggling, all smiles, it was adorable! I texted my husband about it saying something along the lines of “our baby loves my pole!”

Ladies...my husband was not happy. He wasn’t angry, or mean about it, but he certainly made it known that he did NOT want our son on the pole, and did not want him to like it. Honestly it kind of shocked me. I really didn’t think it was that serious and didn’t understand. It’s a sport. It sure can be sexy, but it doesn’t have to be the emphasis. So I asked why and he made the argument that it isn’t something men do (obviously that’s not true), and that culturally it looked bad. I asked if he would be comfortable with me teaching our future daughter to pole, and he said yes. I was in disagreement and basically said “we can fight about this later”

Needless to say, we have at least came to the conclusion that walking around the pole with him and swinging isn’t serious, and my husband even did it with our son and got the cutest reaction.

But what do you think? Would you be comfortable with your sons pole dancing?

Off the pole, why or why not? Are there limitations?
