It is well known that the jobs of pilots, miners and soldiers are considered one of the most dangerous in the world.
But there is one work where the men claim that the risks are seriously underestimated.
While a pilot can be confronted with a motorcycle error, a miner with a collapsing tunnel and a soldier with rounds of balls, those in the exotic dance industry say they are under a more subtle threat.
Stripper Gary Maloney, whose artist name is tempting, has shared insight into the dark side of the industry and revealed why he should always pay attention to his back.
The 49-year-old Londoner told MailOnline how he was forced during the performances to protect himself against 'wild' public members who tried to bite and scratch him.
He said, “If people are a bit too drunk, you just have to make sure you keep your eyes out so that your things are not taken and you are not injured because girls sometimes bite or scratch you and things like that.”
The father of two also emphasized the importance of a performer who could assess the risk level of the public.
He explained: 'You have to measure your crowd. One thing I think I have learned over the years that I am a stripper is to protect yourself because you can sometimes be a bit wild when you are in groups of women.

Mr. Maloney likes to be a stripper, but emphasizes, despite what critics say that it is a demanding full -time occupation that requires a lot of discipline and work
'They can scratch you and pull you or your outfit and uniform nick -nick.
'You must always have your mind about you.
“I think the first few years I did it, I was probably a bit nervous and naive, but now I am a bit clamped on top of each other when it comes to reading a room.”

“It's not easy. I think if you are not in the industry, you probably don't know how much is going outside in the performance.
“Many people will say:” That's such an easy job, “but you have to look good, you have to use all supplements, you have to train, you have to do cardio, you have to keep your hair beautiful, your beard beautiful and you have to smell good.
'There are many things involved, but it is certainly not something I complain about. I think it's great '.

Maloney has been in industry for more than 15 years, Mr. Maloney is a seasoned stripper and can rattle the majority of what is thrown towards him – including situations that the most artists would rattle.
However, he revealed how there is a certain scenario that keeps him awake at night.
Mr. Maloney said: 'What many strippers don't like is when you get someone on stage to sit down and you want to perform, but they want to take it a bit and they get up and they dance and they go around.
“Sometimes when you get someone, you want them to just sit there and perform your performance and if they play and get up and play to the crowd, it makes it a bit difficult.”
He added: 'But I don't mind that people get up and dance around me. I am fairly simple. '
Mr. Maloney shared how his personal pet dubbles did not concern the public at all.
'The thing I hate the most is actually when my music cuts out or that my music does not play or something.
'It only happened to me a few times in my career where the music is cut on the sound system whether it has not played or, you know, things like that.
“And that is one of the things I always fear for. It can ruin the show. '
