If you spend any time at all scanning blogs, you quicky find that there are a lot of Mormon mommy blogs on the Web. (Before you think I'm being condescending, the titles of their blogs are usually something like "MormonMommy.")

Though all these sisters' blogs include the obligatory gushing about how delightsome it is to be a stay-home wife and mom — it obviously gets boring out there in the 'burbs with four kids between one and, well, four. The search for stimulation gets interesting sometimes -- like this discussion on pole dancing on MormonMommyWars. Poster "S'mee" discovered that pole dancing was being offered as an exercise program at an LDS-owned spa.

...Someone, for the love of Pete, explain to me how Pole Dancing has become an accepted form of “core exercise”; not only for young women, but mom and the little girls too?
Many many many health clubs and womens fitness centers are now including workshops for “pole dancing”, “exotic exercise”, “core dancing”, and “pole training” etc. But when you look at the videos of their trainers, teachers and students, 95% of them are pole dancing in the traditional “Gentleman’s Club” fashion (read: bow-chicky-bow-wow sleazy).

The more than 60 comments are mostly:

To me this is another way in which the “it’s all good” philosophy of the world is infecting every aspect of the rest of our lives. The world is wrong. ...

And:

oh that is just uck!!!

Why do women just not get it????

But S'mee wants an answer:

I know that every woman needs/wants to feel sexy and wanted. We all want to be healthy and strong, but are these forms of exercise in line with the standards of an endowed member of the church?

What would you think of a man who views these forms of exercise? Do you think it would lead him to want other forms of sexy *exercise*?... Is this o.k.? If so, where does it end? What’s the line?

Tough questions for the bishop, for sure. Fortunately, a poster chimes in with the permission everyone was waiting for:

Regarding s’mee’s question of whether or not this ok to do for your hubby, I say what happens in your bedroom stays in your bedroom.
