ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pole worship

Pole worship is when people use a tall, vertical pole to dance and perform acrobatic moves. It's kind of like a combination of gymnastics, dance, and circus acts!

The pole itself is typically made of metal and is often very shiny. It can be static, meaning it stays in one place, or it can spin, which makes for even more exciting moves. People who practice pole worship sometimes wear special outfits that help them grip the pole better and also make them feel confident and sexy!

When someone is doing pole worship, they might do things like climb up and down the pole, spin around it, or hang upside down from it. Some people even do flips and other crazy moves! It takes a lot of practice and skill to be able to do all of these things safely and gracefully.

Pole worship is sometimes misunderstood or judged by people who don't understand it. But for many people who do it, it's a form of exercise, self-expression, and empowerment. It allows them to feel strong, confident, and sexy all at once!
