In these uncertain economic times, one of the job possibilities young women may be curious about is stripping, even though they may never have imagined themselves taking their clothes off for cash before. THE POLE POSITION: Is Stripping for You? (And How to Stay Healthy Doing It) answers all those technical, emotional, financial, and moral questions to reveal the truth behind the fiction.

• Are high-end Gentlemen’s Clubs in the city as glamorous as you’ve heard?
• Will your local dive-club be dangerous and demeaning?
• Will you be expected to perform “extras” for the managers?
• Is leaving the stripping world as difficult as some say?

THE POLE POSITION does not try to convince women not to enter the adult entertainment business—it simply answers the questions most necessary to think about before deciding if stripping will be a healthy lifestyle choice.

• Why do you think you want to become a stripper?
• How do you think being a stripper might affect your future?
• Do you think you possess the right skills for the job?
• Are you prepared for the difficulties involved?
• Have you considered the people in your life?
• How do you really feel about stripping?
• What are your long-term goals in life?

THE POLE POSITION: Is Stripping for You? (And How to Stay Healthy Doing It) is a Decision-Making Guide and Self-Discovery Journal that will help women to further value their own identities through their quest to understand their motivations for stripping. For women interested in developing their own life narratives, they will explore how writing their lives and discovering their selves is all part of an ongoing process. The dots are connected between the bonds of body, beauty, and self with which all modern women struggle, so that readers may be able to look to themselves for answers to questions of identity.

Each of the 9 chapters is followed by ten questions for review with space to journal answers, which will help women explore their motivations, strengths, and possible weaknesses for survival in the business.

The Pole position is not a book on pole dancing in any way. Yes it touches on this but only one page out of about 190. This is a retrospective reflection to aid those who may be considering stripping for any number of reasons. More than a self-help book though, sections of questions that if answered honestly could aid peoples choices. Lots of nuggets of information that wouldn't be obvious otherwise and add to her interesting story. Some things may have changed a bit, and there are probably differences between the UK. Most books I either don't read in their entirety, and others take months, but this I completed within 4 days as I found it captivating. The Pole Position: Is Stripping for You?
