Of Stripperz...

I was always intrigued by the psychology of striptease and the power exchange that it facilitated. Obviously, it’s not difficult to persuade men to undress in what can often be a somewhat uninspiring experience. However, handled properly this can and should create a very special dynamic, either through a forensic objectification, almost deification of the host, or by embracing a degree of chastisement, embarrassment, humiliation and emasculation.

So, why would an attractive young guy demean himself for the amusement of women? What sort of a man earned a living by parading his anatomy? What of pride, of ego etc? I found the whole subject quite fascinating. More-so, how should a female socially juxtaposition herself in order to take advantage of the opportunity and in so doing fully appreciate, experience and so embrace her right to enjoy male nudity and arousal. The controlled access to their manhood without emotional cost or consequence. It seemed to get close to the heart of what was driving ALANIAS forward. It both inspired and aroused me. The edge of the issue that might shed light upon its core.

I had planned to ‘go out’ on Stripperz, my Grande Finale and most formative work. An epic bio-documentary which echoed my own academic interests. Scandalous and unapologetically ruthless. Unfortunately, it left loose ends, if you pardon the pun. Enjoy!
