ANYTHING in the world can be sexual if you see it that way (or WANT to see it that way). There are people who eat strawberries all the time simply because they love them, and there are people who eat them all the time to increase their sex drive. Both are the same thing (a strawberry) but in intention completely different. Just like Pole Dancing. You can Pole Dance to attract guys or to become a stripper, or because it’s a fun, unique sport.

Pole Dancing is only dirty if you want it to be. Just like watching TV and using the internet can be very dirty. You can use the internet, TV, or YouTube for porn. You can use YouTube to see naked people or you can watch it to see fitness videos and makeup tutorials. Same thing with Pole Dancing.

I have a question. When writing an article, aren’t you SUPPOSED to be neutral? Somehow I don’t think "Supporters are wrong in saying that they can divorce pole dancing classes from the sex industries’ isn’t very neutral. And as for the crap about "Sadder than their naïveté", so now you’re calling us naive? You are talking about something you don’t understand, and probably don’t know anything about, and I highly doubt you’ve actually seen fitness pole dancing, not the stuff you see on TV and strip clubs, then you have the nerve to say WE are the naive ones?

…one Women’s Officer asks how students who expressed distaste would feel if they were told that something they did was undermining the female population?

Oh, OK. Sure. BLAME IT ON US. Don’t blame the media, and don’t you dare blame the guys who can’t control their sexual urges, no no. Blame US. Don’t even try and blame the girls who go around wearing super-slutty clothes – which is 10 times worse than pole dancing, since pole dancing does NOT have to be for a guy, it can be for you to do in the privacy of your own home. But wearing a mini-skirt and crop top and walking around the street with it on is definitely for people to look at you and whistle – no, blame the women who want to keep their body fit and feel sexy.

disturbing motives behind a modern desire to learn a degrading dance over going for a run, blissful in the quiet of intellectual integrity.

So now you’re saying we have no morals? Really? REALLY?

the margins are liberated from the consumerist sexism prevalent in society, to which the debate over pole dancing classes is testament.

Excuse me, byotch. Sexism was present from the BEGINNING OF TIME. Waaay before pole dancing ever came along. So how is sexism in society caused by pole dancing? In China for example, major sexism has caused people to actually KILL their baby girls, which has resulted in the major gender imbalance there. So you’re saying that it’s because of us that this happens? Yeah, makes PERFECT SENSE.

The second article:

"Shouldn’t men get the chance to be empowered too?”
WHAT. a. piece. of – Men are ALREADY empowered you moron. Men have always had power/rights over women, until women STOOD UP and FOUGHT for their rights. And until this day, women all over the world in every single country are oppressed because they were born female.
Most women/girls in this day and age have very little self confidence, and they’re pressured into thinking they need to look good to fit into society, so much that they’re beginning to STARVE themselves to lose weight and supposedly look better. So isn’t pole dancing what they need to feel sexy and confident in themselves and overall? AND to keep themselves fit?
As for Diva Tommei: she’s reminding me how lucky I am to have logic and common sense.

Stay away from citrus fruits and orange juice! Acid Reflux is when your esophagus isn’t strong enough to handle an acid, and most kinds of orange juice have strong acidic Ph values!

Here are some things that can help you that I found on the internet (it’s about meals, and how to prevent Acid Reflux occuring at night):

If not treated appropriately, acid reflux attack for a prolonged period can wear out the inner protective lining of oeasophagus. Doctors call this erosive oesophagitis. A doctor can find out whether you have this condition through a simple endoscopy. He can also treat you for this acid reflux condition depending on the extent of damage.

There are a lot of advices out there for people who suffer from acid reflux or heartburn about what they should not do. There are always a bunch of food items you are not supposed to eat. Here we are discussing a few things you can do and reduce your acid reflux problem.

It is known to be beneficial to sleep on the left side of your stomach than your right side. Sleeping on you left side is better for you not to experience acid reflux symptoms like heartburn.

If you make it a habit to sleep with your head in an elevated position that would reduce heartburn during your sleep. This can be achieved using one or two extra pillows. If you can afford it, getting a bed that can be raised, a bed similar to the ones used in hospitals would be a great idea. If not, you can raise the head side of your bed with blocks of wood or some thing similar.

Eat any time you feel like eating. But make it very small portions. If you skip food in between for so long, you will end up eating a big meal in the end and it is going to cause the worsening of your acid reflux condition. Any person who tries to avoid meals in between for whatever reasons may end up over filling your stomach when you finally have food. This must be avoided at all cost.

In between meals, it would be helpful to you make it a habit of chewing gums. This would create a lot of saliva in your mouth and this can wash down any left over acids from your esophagus and throat. Saliva is alkaline in nature and is going to neutralize the acids to some extent. When choosing chewing gums avoid mint flavored ones. Mint is known to worsen acid reflux condition in many people.

Instead of chewing gums, you can suck on cough drops like halls or antacids, and they will provide you with the same effect.

Drinking water can dilute the stomach acids and can be helpful in reducing your heartburn condition.

It is an absolute no no to hit the bed right after a big meal. You need to walk for a little while before you go to sleep. The ideal case is to sleep only four hours after having your dinner. So have your dinner earlier around 5 or 6 O’clock, as was the practice of yesteryears.

And in case you need it, here is an article with advice about what to eat to prevent it:

Hope this helped. And I sincerely hope you feel better soon.

I rarely organize playlists. But when I do they’re usually divided into:
Party/Disco Songs (the kind of dance-crazy go-wild music)
Favorites (my favorites that I listen to most of the time or that I really like)
Old music (Beatles, Cranberries, Eurythmics)
Sleeply relaxing music (Enya, Piano music, etc)
Instrumentals
Rock n’ Roll

And that’s basically it https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

*EDIT*: I don’t think I even answered your question. LOL https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif
