Dancing with the Naked Chicks on DWTS

Tonight on TV aired Mary Hart's last day on Entertainment Tonight and they are running a nice tribute show to her.  They just showed a great music video made by the staff of the show, dedicated to Mary, to the awesome song Raise Your Glass, by Pink. The video was awesome and really well done and a lot of fun.  The two 'leads' in the video were Mark Steines, the handsome guy who is a co-host on the show and guest dancer Cheryl Burke from Dancing with the Stars.

At the end of the pre–recorded music video they played a brief black and white video clip taken during rehearsal that showed Cheryl and this fellow practicing a dance move that they had performed in the video.  I noticed that the very attractive, sexy, fit Cheryl was very appropriately dressed for a dance rehearsal, in leggings, shirt and fully covered, not erotic looking, etc.

And what that reminded me of was one of the big reasons I can't even stomach to watch that show Dancing with the Stars, even though I am a dancer myself and love the art and style of couples dancing. And that reason, one of several, is that when they cut away to show the teams rehearsing in the studio, the women instructors are often very scantily dressed and the rehearsals require a lot of close contact and provocative movements.
What irks me about this is that I think we all know that it is pretty common "knowledge" that guys are super horny, that guys get erections when they see naked girls, that sexually erotic situations are likely to also be arousing, etc.  We know this about men. And we know it can be a problem for men to maintain control over their desires and that a lot of wives suffer for it, as we are even currently witnessing this very day with the recent "heartbreaking secret" that came out that Arnold Schwarzenegger cheated on his wife, with the hired help no less, and didn't even have the respect for his wife to not knock this gal up, which instead he did. 

Women never get to see male sex, except with our husbands and lovers, and sometimes that's not all it's cracked up to be, just as men know, too, that sometimes other people can be hotter than your spouse.  But men get to go out in the world and get sexually stimulated almost at every turn of their day!  There is female–sexualization everywhere!

On Dancing with the Stars, they take some schmuck who 'doesn't dance' and puts him with some hottie, young sexy babe in a closed room, performing close contact, intimate maneuvers, and often the gal is dressed way too provocatively.  Most of these guys are probably married or have long-time girlfriends.  And we know how sexual men are and how they respond to close intimacy with a sexy female wearing a sexy, revealing outfit.  So my question is always, Why? Why are they doing this?

On this Mary Hart video, on the other hand, that dancer Cheryl Burke looked totally normal for a dancer in rehearsal.  She was covered and dressed appropriately to dance, but being modest.  Performance is where people strut in the sexy costumes, not rehearsal, and not when you are working closely, intimately with men who aren't even dancers and who have wives and girlfriends.

The other big annoyance I have with trying to watch DWTS is the issue of the female costumes during performances.  I find the outfits the ladies wear to be so revealing and risqué that it is humiliating and un-enjoyable to watch.  If I wanted to see women that naked, I could buy a Playboy magazine.  Sure, dance is sexy and it is not uncommon for women to wear revealing costumes in dance, but in the context of this show I find it highly offensive.  This is a general audience dance show, why do all the women have to be almost naked and over-sexualized?

I gave up on this show after seeing a performance where a woman cartwheels into a handstand position, in front of her male dance partner, spreads her legs spread eagle as she is upside down - with her crotch just an inch or two under his nose - wearing a skimpy leotard with bare legs. 

Anyone who has ever done any serious dance training knows what a woman's crotch smells like after serious dancing.  Let's just say the scent is not unnoticeable. I wonder what that male dancer thought of for the next three days after that, or when he finally went home to his wife or girlfriend?

DWTS is just sex on TV.  Worse, it just shows female sex.  It shows revealing costumes that super-sexualize women and it puts male celebrities into very intimate, sexual situations with young vixen dancers.  I am willing to bet at least one relationship, if not several, ends up ending due to sex with DWTS.
