An advertised position, in the School of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Leeds, is for: “Research Officer - The rise and regulation of lap dancing and the place of sexual labour and consumption in the night time economy”.
The advertisement further stipulates that “prior experience of conducting research in the female sex industry” is essential.
The successful applicant would work with the school's team on a research project to examine the “rise, tolerance and integration of sexual consumption and sexual labour displayed through the erotic dance industry”, and the commercialisation of female sexuality and the female body.
It hopes to determine where dancers are recruited from and what their working conditions are like, as well as examining how erotic dancing has become a “mainstream” entertainment, available on the high street of most British cities.
No doubt most male Neanderthals will be describing this as the best job in the world. Personally, I've never understood the fascination of a (semi) nude body gyrating inches away from me as if going into an epileptic fit nor seen how it is in any way "erotic". Still, each to their own. eh?
