Does Pole Dancing hurt your Balls?

[@prototypexero]

As an aerialist, the only thing worse than wearing a dance belt is NOT wearing a dance belt. Even then, there are some moves that I've had to accept are simply not suitable for dangly bits.

[@solarprogeny6736]

why not tuck?

[@souldancersbyjennifer]

​@@solarprogeny6736as you can see, some moves gets the front and back, and sides too...

[@AzarathMetreon]

@@solarprogeny6736Cuz then it’s all just between your legs asking to be squished every time you clench. That’s fine for like, drag performers and scenarios like that, but less so for acrobatics.

[@blumineck]

@@solarprogeny6736 yeah, that doesn't really work when you need to run and jump and contort. It just changes the moves that are a problem!

Lol the wikipedia for dance belts is a great read "Dance belts were originally developed in the early 1900s for male dancers to wear during training and performances because vigorous choreographic movements subject their external genitalia - when not otherwise supported, restrained and cradled snugly against the lower groin area - to loose, unrestrained instability (i.e. flopping around) due to rapid acceleration, deceleration and gravity forces"

[@deadpool569]

​@@Setsunako6587if your external genitalia sound like a standing ovation, you may need to adjust your dance belt

[@darkacadpresenceinblood]

"i. e. flopping around" killed me😭 it's giving the same energy as this fire safety course they made us take in uni which tried to explain in very official language (literally the same style as this one) that because elevators don't work during fires, physically disabled people who may not be able to stand up should slide down the stairs on their ass. it was a great read

[@_Lumiere_]

Not often you see that grammatical contraction lol

[@darkacadpresenceinblood]

right, youtube went "hey non-pole dancer without balls, wanna know how to pole dance with balls" and i went hell yeah i want to know lol

[@feitocomfruta]

Another example is when I’m doing a chair routine and do a Superhero on the chair back. If the chair back is padded, that’s best case scenario. But then it’s a matter of other costume bits like the lower part of my corset that provides a better structure and distributes the pressure, or ultimately finding the least painful place on my pelvis and/or pubic bone to balance from. This is because if you minimize the pain, it lets you focus on using your arms to support and steady the chair from tipping and using your core, glutes, and back muscles to lift your legs off the ground. I recently saw someone post this online: “Non-dancers see practicing fundamentals as a lack of skill, dancers see practicing fundamentals as a proof of skill.” In other words, practicing the basics of technique is how highly skilled performers prevent injury and mishaps by reminding their body on how to execute the performance safely.

[@bluslvrwolf2166]

To paraphrase the Bruce Lee attributed quote, a master of one kick practiced one thousand times is scarier than a master of one thousand kicks practiced once each. Sorry, the last part of your comment reminded me of this.

[@katria2412]

On a similar note: I was doing horseback riding for several years and sometimes it (especially bareback riding) kind of hurt. Therefore, I am still not sure how guys do it, so props to male equestrians.

[@ragnkja]

I’m pretty sure the only reason men still ride astride and never side-saddle is that by the time a safe and secure side-saddle was developed, social norms had already established that side-saddle was “feminine” and astride was “masculine”.

[@Lucas-gm3bv]

I personally use specially designed jocks that lift the boybits up and out, and I’ve always worn my penetrative unit pointing up. Works well on horses and bikes. Haven’t squished anything in my life! I also think that riding since I was a baby just makes it second nature to feel the gait and feel the horse’s body and know if it’s bracing itself for something and brace accordingly.

[@CheshirePhrog]

This is funny I was just wondering if a dance belt might help with riding. Lord knows a body needs a good sports bra

[@ArtemusBlue]

Yeah, I only ever had a handful of lessons and made it up to a gentle trot, but it definitely is a bit rough on your pelvis even as a person whose genitals are mostly enclosed within their body, although that was probably partly down to my lack of expertise and me having all the grace of a baby giraffe, lmao 🤣 I can't even imagine the discomfort with balls, wouldn't it be like being smacked in the boobs repeatedly but worse???

Female silk aerialist here to attest to how badly silk in your lady pocket hurts! Dove pose is usually done into a drop just by letting go, and they like you to hold this pose for effect which isn’t always easy with a good portion of your body weight being supported via crotch. Now, aerial is in general quite painful thanks to physics, but my guy colleagues usually avoid this one or carefully separate the silk to catch the outer crotch/inner thigh

Imagine somebody kicking him in the balls in the fight and instead of curling up he just shrugs it off. 😂

[@TheSpecialJ11]

As someone with balls who used to not be super concerned with protecting them while playing sports, it's pretty easy to avoid glancing blows doing stuff like this. With loose fitting clothes and supportive but not restrictive underwear, your balls move out of the way with slight pressure, and typically your scrotum pulls them in from all the movement. Only direct hits really hurt, which is why being kicked in the balls is horrific. But straddling a tree branch, they tuck themselves a bit. And you naturally don't put a ton of weight on them to begin with, it's second nature.

[@salemsaberhagan]

Honestly I think it's also a bit because of the fact that your body will redirect blood flow to other areas like the arms & legs. That really also does have the effect of shrinking the target area so the chances of impact are lower. But that doesn't mean you go commando coz the centrifugal force from a swing can make you end up right back where you started & then push you even further back. Learned that part the hard way.
