Rowland Barthes - Striptease

In this article (from his book 'Mythologies') Barthes says that striptease is based on a contradiction; that "woman is desexualised at the very moment when she is stripped naked", it is indeed the time taken to shed her clothes, which makes it something people desire. Because of this, layer upon layer of coverings and props will be placed upon the woman, to draw out the desirable process. The end of the striptease will now signify that nakedness is the natural vesture of woman and amounts as the perfectly chaste state of flesh. In essence, what I think Barthes is saying, is that it's not always the actual 'thing', but everything that surrounds it. So we need to sometimes remove ourself from a situation to not be drawn in by all the fancy surroundings of it.
