Lap dancing seems to become a part of British corporate life as per the report of a campaign group.

The Fawcett Society, which campaigns for women's rights claims that companies seem not to take notice of the use of sex clubs by the workers. The group also claims that firms have also gone to the extent of authorising the use of staff expenses for entertaining clients in lap dancing and britain,corporate,lap dancing,stripping, according to 'The Telegraph'.

Fawcett researches came up with more than 300 such clubs in the U.K after going through the websites of the clubs and contacting them directly to know about their work with corporate clients. The also found out that about 41 percent lap dancing clubs, through marketing on their websites, directly draw the attention of the employers.

Kat Banyard, the Fawcett Society researcher who wrote the report, described the sex industry as "a major threat to women's equality at work".

She said: "The sex industry is increasingly targeting the corporate market, with lap dancing clubs marketing themselves as ideal venues to host meetings and client entertaining. Yet lap dancing clubs are a form of commercial sexual exploitation and fuel sexist attitudes towards women. Their use in a work context discriminates against female employees and undermines women's status at work.

She added: "For too long, employers have engaged with the sex industry without due regard for the impact on female employees, and have failed to prevent the illicit use of the sex industry by employees in a work context."
