It’s a lot more fun when your partner can carry you with one arm and flexibility helps.
A woman has told how teaching her boyfriend to pole dance has helped to improve their sex life.
Former beauty therapist Bec Collins, 34, from Hobart, Australia, became hooked on the sport after trying a class on recommendation.
Just weeks after meeting store manager Sam Tavares, 28, she convinced him to learn a few moves himself.
At first, he was reluctant to try – but now he’s hooked, running his own male pole dancing class and winning championships.
The couple have even found that taking up the sport has improved things for them in the bedroom.
Bec, who is known locally as Bebe Sparkle said: ‘We both have pretty good fitness which never hurts your sex life. You have way better body confidence, strength and stamina.
‘It’s a lot more fun when your partner can carry you with one arm and flexibility helps. I have always taken it for granted that I can get my feet over my head but I guess that’s a bonus in the bedroom.
