Several others have elbowed me, er, it was me wasn't it? -- for having some sort of high-hatting snobby attitude about strip club dancers.

First, it takes some bit of self-confidence, and non- attachment to get naked in front of strangers. Though most strip clubs appear to be merely topless not fully nude. I imagine (which is only that) there may be a well cultured sense of "I am not the body" developed amongst dancers. And not being much affected by others opinions. Far more healthy traits than many long term meditators display. >
More likely "I am ONLY my body" I'd have thought?
