About a dozen years ago, when lap-dance clubs were opening in Britain and Ireland, I saw a British television documentary about the success of these clubs in the USA.

One clip was shot in The Cheetah Club (Atlanta). Four guys were sitting in a "Board Room". Two gorgeous girls entered, stepped up on the table and quickly removed their long dresses to give a delightful display of T&A for the "members of the board". The guys loved the bottom-up view they got of the strippers.

That clip came to mind when I was brought to Larry Flynt's Hustler Club in Paris recently. One of my hosts described the club as the most spectacular venue in France. "I'll prove it," he promised. I was intrigued.

Once inside, he headed for the downstairs lounge, from which we enjoyed an unforgettable view of the strippers pole-dancing overhead. It was the first time I'd seen strippers in action from this perspective, and my only regret is that we didn't spend longer in the downstairs area.

The dancers I spoke to later were cool about being viewed from below. As one of them said, they were topless only, so their privacy was protected to that extent.

Anyway, my question to the ladies here is: would you be comfortable pole-dancing for guys watching from below?
