Drawing on original ethnographic research, this book looks at the behaviour and attitudes of lap dancing club customers. Little has been said about customers from a UK perspective and Colosi contracts her findings with the US based literature; the author follows her previous book, Dirty Dancing (Routledge, 2010) with the first international comparative discussion of lap dancing club customers.
Colosi focuses on the relationship between lap dancers and their clients, examines the motives and attitudes of the customers and the social stigma surrounding lap dancing; in so doing she shows how lap-dancing club attendance plays a significant role in (re)constructing and reinforcing heteronormative and hegemonic masculinities.
