Strippers and their Equipment

Does anyone happen to know how those metal poles somehow became such an integral part of a stripper's routine? Did some innovative stripper show up for her job interview and say to Vito The Club Manager, "You'll have to install a metal pole, in order to accomodate my work environment"???

Are there certain poles that strippers prefer, over others? When a strip club is remodeled, do the girls provide input to Vito, such as "Oooohh, please get the reduced-friction model made by Fellowes . . . it cuts down on pole burns AND carpal tunnel sydrome! You don't want us to file a workman's comp claim, after all?!"

Likewise, why don't male strippers have poles? (Or do they? I don't recall ever seeing one). I don't think it would do anything for me to see a guy hanging upside down from one, though. Of course, I don't get that much out of the whole male stripping experience anyway.

Thoughts?
