"Lap Dance Therapy" Neither Fun Nor Effective
That quote makes this sound like a kind of whacky-zany-funny story, but it's actually more bizarre and upsetting journalism than Late-Night-Cable-T&A:
Before being sent to MBA, Jane had been raped. At one of the Lifesteps seminars, the 18-year-old was forced to dress as a "French maid" and perform lap dances while Kelis' sexually suggestive song "Milkshake" and similar music was played. "I was freaked out and traumatized and I couldn't do anything about it," she says.
Her friend Adam -- who asked that only his first name be used -- said he witnessed at least four girls and one boy who had identified himself as bisexual being made to do this "exercise." He said that when the girls performed the lap dance on him, "They were just crying." The bisexual boy had to give lap dances to both males and females.
(Don't worry, it gets worse.)
