Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx. In this decision, the appeals court reversed the lower court’s conviction of several dancers for violating a no-touching ordinance and engaging in prostitution. The decision illustrates that the lower court collapsed lap dancing into prostitution, while the court of appeals collapsed it into pure performance comprehensively protected by the First Amendment. Neither of the courts actually grasped the specificity of lap dancing as both sexual act and sexual performance. As a result, their decisions seem to substantiate the idea that lap dancing is too complex a practice for the law to adequately grasp or regulate. In the second half of the chapter, I develop a legal-historical perspective that challenges this idea by showing American lap dancing to be thoroughly shaped and constructed by law. In this way, the chapter illustrates how law can inform practices of sex work even if these practices seem to be removed from and too complicated for law. As a result, lap dancing reveals how law can be taken up in new and surprising ways in everyday practice. As such, lap dancing illustrates how law can be more complex than the binary thinking that sex work studies scholars often associate with it. What is a Lap Dance? In the early 1980s, in order to keep pace with the proliferation of pornographic home videos, strip clubs began to offer a series of new, intimate, and individualized services beyond the stage show.141 These services included private lap dances and less explicitly sexual forms of paid companionship and conversation. Today, exotic dancers earn the bulk of their income—usually tips—from these more intimate services.142 As a result, in a typical American strip club, dancers will perform onstage only insofar as management requires it and it serves as an advertisement for their more private and individualized services. 143 A stripper’s shift is therefore filled with personal interactions with customers that involve varying degrees of physical and emotional intimacy.144 This personal interaction complicates the idea that stripping is only a theatrical performance, clearly delineated from other forms of sex work, including prostitution. The content of these personal interactions vary across different clubs and among different performers and patrons. For instance, in some clubs, as anthropologist Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx extensively documents, strippers spend much of their time talking with patrons, providing them with sympathy and emotional support.145 In other clubs, p...

Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx reveals the question of contact, especially sexual contact, to be a complicated legal question. That is, adjudicating a clear boundary between the sexual contact that such laws prohibit and physical contact that is “incidental” to the performance is more difficult than these laws—on their face—acknowledge.152 149 Xxxxx, G-Strings and Sympathy, xxii-xxiii. The club where Xxxxx worked is in an anonymous city in the American south. 150 Ibid., 274. 151 Ibid., 275, original emphasis. 152 Specifically, in Janini, the court wonders where the line is between “masturbation of patron or touching incidental to artistic performance?” The People v. Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx et. Al, 89 Cal Rptr 2d, 245 (1999) § 247. The original conflict in Janini involved two undercover operations at the Sahara Club, a strip club in Anaheim, California in 1997. During these operations, officers clandestinely videotaped dancers “brushing their scantily-clad breasts, buttocks, and genitals up against the clothed bodies of their male patrons.”153 The dancers were subsequently arrested, charged, and, in two separate trials, found guilty of violating Anaheim’s no-touching law. The law stated: No entertainer shall have physical contact with any patron, and no patron shall have physical contact with any entertainer while on the premises, which physical contact involves the touching of the clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, cleft of the buttocks, perineum, anal region, or female breast with any part or area of such other person’s body.154 In a subsequent law, the city made violating this law a misdemeanor.155 While the law’s formal intent was to prevent any contact between a dancer and her client, the emphasis of the law is on contact between erogenous zones of the body. Consequently, the law was specifically aimed at restricting sexual contact and, we can infer, preventing prostitution in strip clubs. Despite this built-in anti-prostitution mechanism, in addition to violating the no- contact law, four of the defendants were also convicted of prostitution.156 In fact, during the first trial, the city attorney reduced prostitution to physical contact. He argued that 153 Id. 154 Cited in Id. at Footnote 2. 155 Id. § 248. 156 Id. at § 247. This case incorporated two lower decisions into one. pr...
