A more SFW version of Boogie Nights' final scene than you're expecting:

This post really struck a chord with me. I was a ballet dancer most of my twenties and thirties and I remember how I would grind my teeth when all my years of work and dedication would be reduced to a discussion about the "dancer ass." Or seeing the ballerinas flinch when guys would leer and ponder "how flexible they must be." Women were the most egregious, sometimes grabbing a feel without asking.
It was humiliating, and the worst of it was that people figured it was the kind of attention I wanted. I mean, why else would I flaunt my stuff on stage like that?

I don't have any problem with being objectified. I rather enjoy it.
So much that I have a few kinky videos on YouTube and Xtube. And a profile on Recon and Gearfetish. I like knowing that people get turned on when they look at me … heading towards the Pride Parade in full leather. I was living in suburban New Jersey at the time so I drove into Manhattan. Parked somewhere, I don't remember specifically any more, around 23rd and 8th because we'd be ending the day at the Eagle. Got on the subway and got more than a few looks from men and women. I went with the flow and would very discreetly lick my upper lip when I caught someone ogling me.
