LONDON (Reuters) – One in four women who works as a lap dancer in Britain has a university degree and the majority of those involved in the industry enjoy their work, earning up to 48,000 pounds a year, academic research has found.
Rather than being pressured or forced into the job, researchers from the University of Leeds discovered that many women had chosen to get into lap dancing for the money or because it fitted in with their main careers.
“These young women do not buy the line that they are being exploited, because they are the ones making the money out of a three-minute dance and a bit of a chat,” said Dr Teela Sanders, one of the researchers, told the Independent newspaper.

The study comes as lap dancing clubs in Britain face tighter restrictions following a change in the law by the previous Labour government which gave councils the right to demand that all strip clubs apply for a sex establishment licence.
