Wendy,

Wow, what a lively form of artistic expression! Kudos! Curiously the more shy people are, the more repressed passion the’re hiding, and the bravest forms of expressions attract them.

It was interesting story yours as I myself found passion in (guess what) Swing dancing as a constructive outlet during a difficult period of time. Similar remarks from peers – so are you now a swinger? 🙂

Any dance is by nature an expression of our passion, music too, otherwise it would be boring. But there’s no place to compare with striptease… And as for most people, poor us with repressed sexuality. I bet those guys are no saints themselves. Do you remember in school boys teasing girls they like? In my opinion most of them don’t change with age in terms of expressing their admirations. Take it as a compliment and boost your confidence! Boys don’t think like our grandmothers and any comparison between erotics and you equals a compliment. Let your boyfriend worry about all the attention and curiosity from others towards you! Also, it’s very rare a boy directly put in words any admiration and tell you as he would’t like your confidence over him to raise too high. More likely, he would brag in front of their friends.
