The anxieties surrounding a stage performance can be overwhelming, often requiring a period of introspection and mental preparation. For many, this process involves physical activity, a way to channel nervous energy and organize scattered thoughts. Thinking on one’s feet, quite literally, can be a powerful tool for clarity.
Historically, the concept of men as visual subjects has been drastically different from that of women. While men have been featured in photographic formats – calendars, advertisements, brochures – these were often static, non-performative roles. The idea of men actively participating in live shows, particularly those emphasizing physical display, was largely uncharted territory. Catwalks and runways were traditionally the domain of women.
Prevailing societal narratives have long dictated that male attractiveness is inherent and unconditional, irrespective of age, physique, or intellect. Conversely, female attractiveness has been narrowly defined by youth, slenderness, conventional beauty standards, and perceived availability. This dichotomy is frequently reinforced in media portrayals. Consider the archetypal film hero: often older, physically imposing yet arguably sexless, paired with a younger, conventionally attractive heroine whose primary function seems to be to fulfill the hero’s desires. Heroines were often portrayed as charming and seductive, but rarely as genuinely intelligent, independent, or simply ordinary.
This established image of masculinity fostered a sense of complacency amongst men, particularly in Western cultures. Men felt comfortable displaying their bodies in public, unconcerned with adhering to hyper-idealized images. Whether it was swimming in minimal attire or participating in sports in revealing shorts, there was an underlying confidence, a belief that male sexiness was an inherent attribute, not necessarily tied to visual perfection.
Conversely, women have consistently been bombarded with unattainable images of female perfection across all forms of media. This constant exposure often leads to feelings of inadequacy and a relentless pursuit of these unrealistic ideals. The beauty and fashion industries, along with diet and fitness sectors, have thrived on these anxieties, with women investing heavily in products and services promising to bridge the gap between reality and these manufactured images.
However, contemporary society is witnessing a shift. Men are now also confronted with idealized male physiques in advertising, films, and online platforms, including adult entertainment. Instead of striving to emulate these often-unrealistic standards, a different reaction has emerged in some: concealment. Baggy clothing and a reluctance to expose skin have become more common, perhaps as a defense mechanism against perceived physical shortcomings. This aversion to displaying the body, ironically, stands in stark contrast to historical norms.
Despite these societal shifts and personal anxieties, the narrator found himself preparing for a performance that defied these trends: a live show requiring him to walk a runway nearly nude, adorned only with jewelry. The prospect was daunting, potentially leading to ridicule and embarrassment. Recalling past experiences, particularly the rigorous preparation instilled by a mentor, the narrator understood the necessity of meticulous planning. Simply hoping for a positive outcome was not a viable strategy.
Seeking inspiration, the narrator remembered a bodybuilding competition where a less conventionally muscular competitor had captivated the audience with a performance centered on agility and showmanship rather than sheer bulk. This unconventional approach, prioritizing audience engagement over rigid judging criteria, resonated with the narrator. Recognizing his own physique was far from that of a bodybuilder, and acknowledging he didn’t consider himself conventionally handsome, he sought a performance strategy that would connect with the audience and avoid mockery. Gymnastic elements, while not perfectly executed, offered a potential avenue. The key realization was that taking the performance too seriously would be a mistake. Humor and self-deprecation seemed essential to engage the audience and transform the potentially awkward situation into an entertaining one. The goal was to elicit laughter with him, not at him. This performance, his London stage debut, was poised to be either a dream realized or a complete nightmare. Embracing the farcical nature of the event became the chosen path.
With a performance plan formulated, anxieties subsided, leading to a restful night. Upon arriving at “Club Strip,” a significant change of plans emerged: the runway was moved to the floor, a blue carpet laid out amidst rows of chairs, transforming the performance space. The atmosphere was charged with youthful energy and anticipation. A live band played, and dimmed lighting created a focused ambiance on the improvised runway. A quick application of scented oil to enhance skin sheen and the donning of muslin harem trousers and jewelry were the final preparations before the show commenced.
As the band launched into a raunchy tune, “Blonde” took to the runway, immediately eliciting cheers at the sight of her bare breasts. Observing from the sidelines, the narrator noted the predominantly female front row, their partners positioned behind them. The audience was densely packed, eager for a view. Blonde’s performance was deliberate and paced, emphasizing the jewelry, and projecting an air of detached boredom, a calculated persona. As Blonde completed her walk, “Brown” followed, greeted by another round of cheers.
Witnessing Blonde’s performance up close, the narrator was struck by a sense of emptiness, a disconnect between the physical display and any genuine emotion. Her sulky demeanor, however, seemed to be a calculated act, a portrayal of a “slut” persona that resonated with the male audience. The female audience appeared more perplexed, perhaps contemplating whether this was the expected mode of female presentation. The music continued to pulse, setting the rhythm for the performances.
Brown’s approach was markedly different – flirtatious, smiling, and overtly erotic. Her movements were characterized by a deliberate hip swing, and she interacted with the jewelry in a suggestive manner. As Brown finished and signaled the narrator’s turn, a wave of nerves surged. He stumbled onto the carpet, feigning reluctance, then paused as if disoriented.
Breaking the tension, he suddenly ran along the carpet, intentionally tripping, falling into a handstand, transitioning into a cartwheel, and finally regaining his feet, visibly relieved at avoiding collision with the front-row audience. Muttering apologies to those nearby, he then flashed a wide, exaggerated grin. The reaction was immediate: laughter, laughter directed with him. He had successfully adopted the role of a clown, adorned in gold chains and see-through trousers, deflecting any potential seriousness. Brown playfully blew a kiss, stroking his chest, eliciting further laughter.
Subsequent runway walks incorporated more deliberately clumsy gymnastic moves, each generating laughter. Interactions with Brown evolved into brief dance segments. An improvisational element emerged as the narrator began dancing with women in the front row, maintaining a respectful distance from their bodies. This interaction was enthusiastically received by both the women and their partners, further fueling the audience’s positive response. Attempts to dance with Blonde, however, were met with playful rejections, adding to the comedic dynamic. By the intermission, the narrator was emotionally drained.
Fueled by alcohol, the audience became more boisterous. Blonde’s return, now wearing even less – a minimal gold chain and a spiral bra – was met with a deafening roar. Her sullen, angry persona remained consistent. Brown’s appearance in a vaginal medallion was similarly well-received. However, a moment of stunned silence preceded a subsequent roar of laughter when the narrator appeared wearing only ball and cock rings, a bracelet, and an earring.
Unscripted performance, despite its seemingly carefree nature, demanded intense focus. Avoiding repetition, selecting different audience members for interaction, maintaining pace, and ensuring comedic timing required constant mental engagement. There was no space for self-consciousness about nudity or any personal sexual feelings; the performance itself consumed all attention.
Backstage after the show, the narrator complimented the women on their acting skills, only to be met with blank stares. They were not actresses, but strippers employed by the club owner, for whom this performance was relatively tame. They grudgingly acknowledged the narrator was easier to work with than anticipated. Sam, another member of the crew, echoed this sentiment, expressing surprise at the show’s success and relaying the boss’s desire to retain the narrator.
The narrator, however, expressed a firm refusal to work for the boss again, citing his dislike for the entire operation and its unsavory figures. Sam, with a nervous glance towards two imposing figures, Pock and Red, cautioned the narrator to be careful, a warning that instilled unease.
The boss himself then entered, effusively congratulating everyone on the performance, citing positive jewelry sales and declaring the narrator’s continued, possibly permanent, employment. Before any argument could be voiced, a policeman entered, announcing the narrator’s arrest for violating the “forty-five degree law,” a vague legal reference. The boss feigned contrition and offered assistance.
Phil, seemingly connected to the boss, nodded towards Brown and the narrator, then headed into a side room, Brown following submissively. The boss pressured the narrator to comply with Phil’s demands, offering additional payment and emphasizing the narrator’s importance to their plans.
The ensuing scene involved a disturbing display of heterosexual prostitution and S&M dynamics. The narrator was tasked with whipping Phil while he engaged in intercourse with Brown, a deeply uncomfortable and exploitative situation. The narrator’s attempts to minimize harm were ineffective, as Phil seemed to derive pleasure from the violence.
In this vulnerable situation, the potential dangers of independence became starkly apparent. Isolated and without external support, refusal to cooperate could have had serious consequences. Pragmatism prevailed, and the narrator decided to feign compliance, planning to escape at the earliest opportunity.
This direct exposure to heterosexual prostitution was profoundly disillusioning. The reality was far removed from any romanticized notions, instead revealing a sleazy and exploitative industry. The narrator reaffirmed his personal values, emphasizing the importance of consensual, mutually enjoyable sexual experiences with individuals he genuinely liked and ideally loved.
Phil’s climax brought the ordeal to an end. He departed, leaving the narrator and Brown to shower and process the experience. Back in the dressing room, a mundane meal of fish and chips and drinks provided a stark contrast to the preceding events. It was too late to return home, creating a sense of confinement and mounting anxiety, particularly concerning an upcoming meeting.
The boss and Red discussed financial projections related to jewelry sales, their optimism premature. It would be many years before male jewelry as a fashion trend, particularly in conjunction with nudity, gained mainstream traction. The narrative then shifts to a commentary on subsequent trends in body modification – piercings and mutilation – as a potential reaction to unattainable body ideals and dissatisfaction with one’s own physicality.
Later that evening, the narrator and the women were transported in cramped conditions to another venue – a pub – characterized by loud music, stale beer odors, and a dense crowd. The cramped dressing room in this new location further amplified the sense of unease and the stark reality of this performance circuit.
