Striptease Unveiled (2011x8)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Eki 07, 2011

How did striptease arise and why hasn't it been made extinct by X-rated films and internet pornography? What do strippers think of their clients and how does a psychoanalyst explain the fascination mixed with fear that female nudity provokes in males? Where did peep shows go and what takes place in the 'private rooms' that have replaced them? What's the difference between a cabaret in Paris's Pigalle quarter and a strip club on the Champs Elysees? What emotions are stirred within a regular customer when he sees a stripper undress? What does striptease look like on a mobile phone, and how does Paris's Crazy Horse Saloon remain relevant in this information age? Why does male striptease entertain women but not arouse them? What diverse views on the art of striptease can we obtain from a historian, a lawyer, a photographer, a curator or a writer? Who are the nude activists who, via burlesque, raise questions about sexuality and pornography? And why is all physical contact so strictly banned? In answering these questions, Striptease Unveiled attempts to lay bare the legend of striptease.
