G-Strings and Sympathy by Katherine Frank
Provides an account of the personal and cultural fantasies motivating heterosexual, male strip club "regulars." This title shows how the dynamics of male pleasure and privilege in strip clubs are intertwined with ideas about what it means to be a man in contemporary America.
“G-Strings and Sympathy effortlessly merges the personal with the polemical, the scholarly with the serendipitous, and the earthy with the esotericInformed, intelligent, yet always accessible, Katherine Frank’s writing sheds a piercing beam of light on the shadowy realm of exotic dance.”—Lily Burana, author of Strip City: A Stripper's Farewell Journey Across America
“I am not aware of any comparable book on the sex industry that draws so insightfully both on the author’s personal experience and on scintillating analyses drawn from contemporary cultural theory. Katherine Frank’s book is highly intelligent, original, illuminating, extremely readable, and, to say the least, brave.”—Anne McClintock, author of Imperial Leather: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in the Colonial Contest
