My husband wants to learn pole! (and a question for the boys)
So after 2 years of being addicted to poling, and having to put up with my husband teasing me (all in fun) about being a "carny"(sp?) he says to me, "What if I wanted to learn some of that stuff, without all the sexy stuff, could you teach me?" This coming from a guy who can't do a cartwheel, lol!
We were watching a video about Mallakamb at the time, the indian pole gymnastics on YouTube. He has seen it many times before and shown it to some of his friends. I was telling him how a lot of the moves are very similar, and I was calling out our move names as the video was discribing their move names. But this is the first time he has shown an interest in learning any of it.
I guess we'll see how well it goes, if he actually stays interested when I tell him he can't start by learning to do flips and catching himself with just his legs, haha. He tends to be a little impatient, and this sport requires patience, but he can be very determined as well. I'm sure he'll do fine if I can get him to stick with it, he is very strong and has great muscle control. He has a background in gymnastics (when he was very little) and martial arts (more recent) so both of those things will help too. I am excited to share this with him, I'm hoping I can teach him how to spot someone properly so that he can help me learn too.
I guess I just have one question for any of the men here, or anyone who has taught a male to pole. I obviously don't have any experience with the "package" issues that may arise from gripping a pole between your legs…is there any additional tips for placement anyone can give me. For example, when teaching a pole sit for girls we say you want the pole high up on your thighs esentially right into the crotch. Is the placement any different for men? Are there any extra tips, or ideas on this? This is my husband I'm talking about here, we don't have kids yet, but would like to someday…I don't want to ruin him if you know what I mean. lol
Thanks
