A male dancer from the Pleasure Boys troupe has been removed from the group's lineup following a viral video of a sexual incident during a performance at Banbury FC last month. John Woodward, the manager of the dance group, confirmed that the performer is currently off the roster while the team investigates the event. The incident occurred during a three-hour show that featured acrobats, fire-breathers, and choreographed routines for a female-only audience.
Witnesses recorded the moment a woman in the audience placed the dancer's penis into her mouth. The clip spread rapidly across social media, prompting public debate about the boundaries of contact at these events. Woodward stated that the performer had been removed immediately after the incident to ensure it was not a recurring issue. He described the moment as a split-second lapse that has since cost the group several bookings.
Woodward explained that the dancers undergo a procedure called tying before performances to manage blood flow. This process renders the penis numb during the act, allowing the performers to move through the crowd without discomfort. The manager noted that the dancer in question was tapping the top of the woman's head with his penis when she initiated contact. He said the dancer stroked the woman under the chin as he pulled away, treating the interaction as part of the show.
The group performs a style of show where male dancers move naked through the audience. Woodward said that women often grab the performers' anatomy and sing into it like a microphone. He described the interaction as a common occurrence in these venues, noting that the difference this time was that people were filming the specific moment. The manager argued that stopping the performance entirely was not an option during the live show.
Dawn, a 44-year-old health visitor, attended a similar ladies' night recently after being convinced by her 38-year-old sister, Vix. Dawn said she was not a drinker and expected a quiet evening at a theatre. She was surprised to find herself gyrated against by several naked male dancers. Dawn admitted that while she had seen films like The Full Monty, she was shocked to have a penis rubbed against her back.
Dawn observed that other respectable women in her group, including those with full-time jobs and families, behaved differently after consuming prosecco. She noted that peer pressure led some women to grab onto the dancers' penises. Dawn said she escaped unscathed but does not plan to return to the experience. She acknowledged that sexual frustration may drive the appeal of these nights, but she felt the line was dangerously close to being crossed.
Woodward said the group usually aims for a raunchy but non-sexual atmosphere. He compared holding a dancer's penis for a photo to posing with a parrot on one's shoulder. The manager said that many women are not drunk when they initiate contact but are caught up in the excitement of the group. He maintained that the events are a fun night for women to let loose, despite the recent controversy.
The investigation into the Banbury FC incident is ongoing. Woodward said that people who judge from the outside do not understand the speed and difficulty of the performance. He noted that the dancers are close-to-the-knuckle performers who jump onto tables and interact directly with the crowd. The group expects to resume bookings once the internal review is complete.
