Traditional Striptease

[Victor Laszlo]

Here are four examples from porn films with strips as opening.

For further uploads a question to the Fans of this tread. Are strips at home outside of a stage like in three or maybe two of my last four clips matching to Traditional Stripeases ? If yes, should this be performed as a striptease or could it also be a simple clothes take off ?

I'll let the others express their own opinions, but I personally consider a striptease to be "Traditional" if it has at least three of the following five attributes:

1. Performer starts with a sophisticated and/or fairly conservative costume, such as a floor-length evening gown, full business attire, or authentic uniform, as opposed to something that reveals too much out of the starting gate, as all too often is the case with modern stripping.

2. Slow clothing removal, i.e. no less than three to five minutes from fully clothed to topless.

3. Stripping is done to jazzy music, preferably with lots of brass and heavily beating drums.

4. "Bump and grind"-style dancing. (As opposed to pole dancing, etc.) Belly and Polynesian-style dancing works too. To misquote a former U.S. president, Read her hips!

5. Full nudity is "fine" (I think most would consider this an understatement), but there should be nothing too explicit like leg spreading, self-fingering, etc.

This is IMHO. And I think setting doesn't matter as much. It's all about the style.

I don't mind the strip being in any setting, providing it ticks the other rules boxes. A stage is definitely best though!

I would personally be fine with 5, in fact I would always prefer the strip to end fully nude, even if not explicit.

Otherwise, totally agree.

I for one am glad this question has finally been asked. In my opinion many of the videos posted on this thread, while probably titillating to most, are definately not traditional.

To expand on Dave's points above:
1) I am not too fussed about the costume but some "theater" is nice, as opposed to (for example) every day clothes. It is supposed to be a perforance after all.

2) Not too botherd about the duration or the pace, but it has to at least be choroegraphed and not just a girl taking her clothes off while some music plays in the background.

3) The music that Dave refers to is also my own personal faveourite, but in the interests of this site's defintion of "vintage" then I guess other music styles sometimes associated with stripping should be allowed: Go-go, swamp rock, and so on. But they really should evoke the mood of a striptease show andnot just be any old tune.

4) I'd rather see no dancing, or a chair dance than a badly done dance. This is what killed all those 80's "Strand International" videos for me. Stacey Owen doing the office party shuffle for three solid minutes while she takes her clothes off doesn't cut it as a striptease, no matter how big her tits were. Bump & grind is king for me, but if you examine Carolyn Seymour's infamous striptease in the Steptoe and Son movie (the yardstick for big-screen classic strips as far as I am concered) she doesnt really dance at all, but my god does she own that performance.

5) Full or partial nudity? Personally I'm not bothered as I enjoy the tease and the performance. As long as it starts very clothed and ends at least very nearly naked then I'm happy. Oh, and while we are on the subject, reverse stripteases do nothing for me.

6) Setting? As Dave said, I'm not bothered as long as it is a proper striptease which ticks most of the boxes above.

I suppose it depends on your traditions 🙂

In Britain, licensing has long played a part in shaping the traditions, with licensed and outlaw traditions coexisting in different forms. A rather narrow interpretation of "traditional" would look only at the West End, which was characterised by performances on a stage in an auditorium before a seated audience. For as long as the performers could be bothered to put in some effort, the starting point would be a complete costume of outer and undergarments, removed over a significant portion of the performance duration to a point of sufficient nudity to expose all the interesting bits, concluding with a period of posing and dancing calculated to provide a variety of interesting views. Spreading and fingering optional but welcome.

As with most history, this ignores the folk tradition found in the East End, which was more varied, visceral and, even when operating under the nominal sanction of the licensing authorities, played fast and loose with whatever regulations were supposed to limit it. The performance area was generally the public or saloon bar of a pub, which may have had a stage or not. The audience would be standing, and if there was a stage, the performers would usually leave it to mingle with the audience. The more theatrically inclined performers would start fully dressed, but most would start in just lingerie. Most of the venues with stages added poles in the 90s, but pole dancing is a separate art form and need not concern us here.

See I'm just into watching stripping. My ex used to do "wiggles" where she would awkwardly strip for me, either in her work clothes, special outfits or every day clothes. It was so hot, reminded me of the amateur strippers you'd see in the old pubs.

I've always had a fetish for it, cultivated from that first moment of seeing Only Fools and Horses as a kid.

Agreed. This is a big reason why "Spring Break"-type stripping doesn't do it for me

2) Not too botherd about the duration or the pace, but it has to at least be choroegraphed and not just a girl taking her clothes off while some music plays in the background.

Agreed. This is why I quickly get bored with the "Only Tease" strips, even when I dub in strippy music.

3) The music that Dave refers to is also my own personal faveourite, but in the interests of this site's defintion of "vintage" then I guess other music styles sometimes associated with stripping should be allowed: Go-go, swamp rock, and so on.

What is "Swamp rock"? Would "Stalkin" (Duane Eddy) or the Stripper music from the movie "Beat Girl" (John Barry) be examples? Because those kinds of "James Bond"-sounding music can be good too, IMO

4) I'd rather see no dancing, or a chair dance than a badly done dance. This is what killed all those 80's "Strand International" videos for me.

I have the same grievance with the Bert Rhine "Let's Party" series... Those girls were hot, but couldn't dance for love or money.

Bump & grind is king for me, but if you examine Carolyn Seymour's infamous striptease in the Steptoe and Son movie (the yardstick for big-screen classic strips as far as I am concered) she doesnt really dance at all, but my god does she own that performance.

Carolyn knows how to "sell" it -- Which can make up for a lack of dancing ability... Again, the Bert Rhine girls generally couldn't, and nothing puts me to sleep like Joan Collins' strip in "Fearless"... But then I've never understood the appeal of JC -- I don't find her sexy at all... Ann Jillian doing a parody of JC in "Mr. Mom" was hotter, IMO.

And for those who don't know the film but are wondering -- Ann doesn't strip. -- The only strippers in "Mr. Mom" are male.

5) Full or partial nudity? Personally I'm not bothered as I enjoy the tease and the performance. As long as it starts very clothed and ends at least very nearly naked then I'm happy. Oh, and while we are on the subject, reverse stripteases do nothing for me.

I hate reverse stripteases -- It's like watching "A Christmas Carol" backwards.

And those of you who know me know I like "topless with skirt" better than total nudity -- But I know i'm an odd man out in that regard.

Weirdo, "bottomless with shirt" is clearly the half-naked optimum

I would call the music in this clip swamp rock, but in hindsight and having looked up "swamp rock" on YT maybe I'm not correct there.

Maybe one of our colleagues from the US of A can clarify?
