false 100970 1 Her curiosity began as a teenager, with an awareness of her body and the reaction other people had to it. It continued with the realization that women's bodies often gave them a strange power over men. As an adult, it became a fascination with professional sex workers, leading to a plunge into their world. Bare follows the author, a young feminist journalism major, and her fellow dancers through Seattle strip clubs and bachelor parties, exploring in riveting detail Eaves' own motivations and behavior, as well as those of her coworkers, as they make their way through the sometimes exhilarating, often disturbing world of stripping. This compelling, revealing memoir exposes the reader to that world behind the flashing lights, and offers illuminating insights into the reasons women take up this work,and how it affects their identities and lives off the job. In its unstinting honesty, Bare demands that we take a closer look at the way sexuality is viewed in our culture; what, if anything, constitutes "normal" desire; the ethics of swapping money, or anything else, for sex; and how women and men navigate the perilous contradictions and double standards that make up today's socio-sexual conversation. 97352 3 8 2004 Bare: The Naked Truth About Stripping (Live Girls) total:133|5:16|4:46|3:48|2:18|1:5| 133 449 218 28 1 0 false false Sun Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 07:26:17 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 08 17:19:06 -0700 2009 "To some the term feminist stripper is ironic, but it's not an oxymoron--it's just that one has to be a very extreme feminist to remain a stripper.
