It's hard to talk about sex.

Films can be used to jumpstart discussion of sexual needs and desires.

Talking about what's on the screen can facilitate that discussion and is a

great way to stimulate new ideas.

Therapists warn couples that doing the same thing time after time is a sure way

to create boredom in the bedroom.

And they encourage them to keep the spark in their relationship by using

some imagination and creativity.

Many therapists use and prescribe Sinclair programs because they provide

accurate information and model positive sexual behavior.

Sinclair films are recognized by many organizations that promote sexual health

and have received numerous awards.

Since 1991, the Sinclair Intimacy Institute has been helping millions of

viewers maintain long-lasting intimate relationships.

Together you can learn the ingredients for a lifetime of better sex.

Salome's seductive strip in her Dance of the Seven Veils might have marked the

beginning of striptease's negative and indecent reputation, a stigma that

lingers to this day in many societies.

But despite the taboo, erotic dance is performed all over the world, and for

many reasons.

From entertainment and ritual celebration to religious, cultural, and

educational purposes, the striptease has endured as a symbol of vitality and

feminine power.

In America, the hoochie-coochie, popularized by exotic dancer Little

Egypt, made way for Gypsy Rose Lee, a Broadway star of the 1930s, who imbued

the dance with grace and style.

When practiced in a private setting, the ancient art of the striptease can

stimulate senses, excite desires, and enrich fantasies.

Come on, join us over here.

Ladies, why don't you have a seat, and we'll get started.

Thank you for coming here today. My name is Carmen, and I'm so happy to have you

guys here.

I know that you may have been a little bit tentative, a little bit shy, maybe

even thought to yourself, I could never do this. But trust me, ladies, we're

going to have fun.

so exotic dancing is much more than just dancing sexy it's about finding your

inner beauty and your inner grace and making it your own okay ladies you can

get a lot of self-confidence from learning how your body moves you learn

about your desires and you can convey this to your lover

So what you're going to discover here are the central movements and the erotic

pleasures of stripping for your lover. When I first decided to take this class,

I was kind of nervous. I didn't know what to expect.

I tried stripping for my husband once.

Okay, I got a little tipsy. I put on this sexy lingerie and the heels.

And I felt really good doing it, but then I felt kind of uncomfortable. Like

I didn't know the right moves and the right positions. And I felt good, but

like I was missing something.

I don't know. I wasn't totally comfortable. I didn't feel like I had

all the right positions, and so it kind of blew it for me. We're going to have

fun. You're going to be dancing like professional exotic dancers.

It'll be beautiful.

So why don't we start out by stretching.

Since we're already on the floor, let's ease your legs open.

Okay, if you feel any pain or discomfort with this exercise, you can bend your

knees or bring your legs in a little bit closer.

So let's take it to your left.

Ah, feel that stretch.

You'll feel it here in your calf, in your hamstring, as well as your side.

And be sure to breathe, ladies.

Okay, let's walk it over.

And stretch.

Oh, yeah.

be sure to breathe and let's walk it over

and stretch if you can reach for the arch of your

foot if you can't it's okay it's okay to bend your knee let's bring our legs

together and we're going to stretch our upper chest so scoot yourself a little

bit forward come down on your elbows and then push your chest out and up and then

let your head gently rest back be sure to breathe ladies

ah okay now let well when i

first started to take the class i was actually really nervous about it i had

never danced before so this is like a completely new experience for me i

decided to do it just because my boyfriend and i wanted to kind of spice

things up a little bit And if you're going to be dancing in heels, ankles are

very prone to being hurt. So we need to make sure that you warm your ankles up

if you're going to be using heels.

So we'll do ankle circles to the inside.

So I thought it might be fun to try something I never tried before.

But I was so nervous I almost didn't come.

But I'm really happy I came now because, you know, I get to learn new things.

but still this is so new it's kind of nerve-wracking but i'm really happy

about it and then reverse it to the outside very good

switch ankles to the inside

and again to the outside

all right let's get up off our butts okay uh let's warm

up our shoulders and these are shoulder rolls Let's do one shoulder at a time.

And these are a great move that you can also incorporate within your dances.

Okay, let's reverse it.

Excellent.

You ladies look great already.

All right, now let's take both shoulders back and then forward.

Beautiful.

Okay, and the last thing that a lot of people forget about, and it seems like

it's just a small thing, are the wrists.

The wrists, because they are attached to your arms, obviously, they can be very

sensual, so you want to be sure to stretch them. Let the energy flow from

your fingers.

Really express and touch and explore your body.

So we'll warm those up.

And ladies, let me tell you, you're going to be so flexible, you'll just be

amazed.

Okay, and that concludes our stretch series.

Very good.

When Carmen came in and I was like, okay, different outfit, different day.

You know, she looks sexier than she did last time we saw her. And then the music

starts and I saw her taking her clothes off. I was like, oh my God, you know, we

can do that. It was kind of, you know, I wouldn't want to say inspiring because

that sounds cheesy, but it was.

Thank you, ladies.

So what did you think?

All right.

Well, this is going to be you today, okay? Today I'm going to teach you, yes,

you.

Today I'm going to teach you the sexy walk.

There's a walk and then there's a strut. And I'm going to teach you guys how to

strut. So get up, ladies.

Okay.

Eyes are key.

Eyes convey your desire to flirt, to dominate, or even to submit.

So what we're gonna do first is act like you're walking on a tightrope, one foot

in front of the other. And you should allow your hip to sit into itself.

It's all about approach and retreat.

So let's step forward, nice and slow.

Remember, dance is nothing more than shifting weight.

Very good.

Okay, as we approach the mirror, make an outline of your silhouette.

bring it on down okay if you can't go down that's okay just go easy

and then roll back up cross your foot over lead with your body and

keep your eyes on your lover good

Now let's roll our shoulders from the shoulder row and continue to walk

forward. Now be spontaneous here. Allow your hands to explore your body. Don't

be afraid to let your hands come away from your body either.

Now let's stop here and do a few body rolls in place.

Very good.

Okay, and hip rolls as you turn around.

Nice. Very good.

Wow.

Today we're going to work on floor work.

Floor work is my favorite.

You can embrace your femininity and enjoy your sensuality. So I'm going to

run through it first and then we'll do it together, okay?

So first we'll lean back and we'll do our knees.

Then into the swan.

Trace your leg.

Grab your arch.

Go as straight as you can. If you can't go this straight, that's okay.

We'll glide onto our knees and give them a nice, good grind.

Then we'll transition into the cat pose.

Almost like you're praying after him. And keep those rear ends nice and high,

ladies, because that's really sexy.

Okay, let's try it together.

Lean back into your elbows.

Circular with the knees.

Spread them wide into the swan.

Trace up your calf, up your leg.

My confidence level is much higher around my boyfriend. I feel really

secure. And I've been thinking about the things that we do in class and

everything. Actually, it turns me on and makes me kind of hot. So I'm really

looking forward to the final night when I actually do the dance for him.

And then glide onto your knees. Keep the movement smooth.

Give him a nice grind.

Yeah.

Yeah, and then we'll transition into the cat pose keeping those rears nice and

high ladies because that's really sexy.

Very nice.

You guys are doing a wonderful job.

I brought toys for us, and we're going to use these toys to tease and please

our lovers.

So what I want you to do is select something that you see around here and

bring it back to the floor.

That's right, excitement.

I have to tell you, you guys look great.

You guys look really hot. Okay, let's get into this.

Now remember, there are several things that we learned in the classes.

There's hip rolls, body rolls, and remember your floor work. You have your

knees, you have the grind, you have the swan and the straddle, and as

you're facing the mirror,

Your focus is there, on your lover. You want to convey your desires through

there, whether it happens to be to flirt, to be dominant.

It's all about what's in your eyes.

And we'll walk a tightrope, and as you walk, your hip will sit into it, okay?

When you feel like you can move and look sexy or be sexy, then your confidence

level goes up.

For me, feeling better about my body and the way I move definitely makes a

difference in my overall interaction with other people in general, not just

for being sexy.

Five, six, seven, and eight. And shake it, baby.

Play with your props.

How do they make you feel? What kind of nature does it bring out in you?

Excellent. Beautiful.

The pearls, yes.

And off with a glove. That was very sophisticated.

Sweet. Yeah.

That's great.

I was really amazed with the creativity and spontaneity that they came up with

their final routines. I was just amazed.

Some of these women have never had a dance class before and by the end of the

course they were hot.

I would love to be a fly in their bedroom to see what they do to their

lovers.

What this class has taught me is that anything worth doing is worth doing

slowly.

Attitude is everything.

This class has really helped me celebrate my sexuality.

Yeah, I know.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Wow, this class is giving me self-confidence that I had no idea I

ever had.

Surprise. Mm-hmm.

Good surprise.

Yeah? Should I do that more often?

Mm-hmm.

Having a better night now?

Yeah.

Get your clothes off.

You have way too much clothing on. You know that, right?

Mm-hmm.

You should come home and, you know, be in your boxers.

Ready at all times.

Yeah.

Mmm.

I missed you.

I'm sorry.

um um

After taking this class, I feel so beautiful and voluptuous.

I don't need to be a skinny model.
