Are you a pole addict? Does pole dancing consume your thoughts most of the day and night? Do you wake up in the morning thinking about pole dancing?
If this sounds like you, then you may have an addiction to pole dancing! It’s not a bad addiction to have, considering the alternatives…
Here are some of the common signs of pole dancing addiction (there is no known cure…)
1. Gemini and Scorpio are not Star Signs, they’re pole tricks
If you overhear someone reading out their weekly horoscope only for your ears to prick up when they mention ‘Gemini’ – then you’re well on your way to becoming a pole addict!
2. You’re suddenly fascinated with ceilings and how tall they are
If you’re ever in the process of moving house, finding the perfect spot for your pole will be at the front of your mind when you’re viewing places.
Also, when you’re in your friend’s houses, you’ll be picturing where you would put your pole if you lived here…
3. When you see a street sign that resembles a dance pole, you just can’t help yourself
Street signs, street lamps, ceiling jacks, construction scaffolding – if it’s tall and vertical then it’s just asking to be spun around.
4. You carry some grip aid and maybe even a pair of shorts in your bag, you know… just in case…
You never know when you’ll be able to practice or show off your skills, whether it’s at a gym, in a nightclub, or even a child’s climbing frame… if it resembles a dance pole and you can’t resist then you may well be a pole addict!
5. Your legs are adorned with bruises *ahem* pole kisses
Oh, bruises. *Sigh*. When you’re a pole addict dancer, they’re a fact of life that you learn to live with. The same goes for friction burns, muscle aches and blisters. Welcome to the world of pole addiction!

When your partner starts calling upon you to perform strength-based tasks around the home, you know you’ve become the strong one!

Uh, yeah. Because you totally needed that eighth pair of legwarmers, the third pair of pleasers and a new sports bra this payday.
9. You have an overwhelming urge to run away to join the circus
Because, why not?
