Sheening Pole

Nothing takes pole dancing to physically transformative extremes quite like the sheening pole. Typically formed by a colorful, luminous force field, the sheening pole has all of the best physical properties of a good pole dancing pole. What makes the sheening pole so especially unique is not the pole itself, but the glistening black surface into which the pole almost invariably leads its dancers.

Beneath a sheening pole is a perfectly polished sheen of biogel. This surface is only a small fraction of a millimeter thick. It may cover a firm surface, or it may be fully suspended in mid-air by a perimeter ring that holds it fixed in its mono-planar shape. The sheen of biogel is highly reactive, and will transform any body part that passes through it into liquid biogel. It will also firmly adhere to whatever has yet to pass through, virtually ensuring against any possible escape once the 'sheening' has begun.

Liquid biogel created by the sheening surface is expelled from its underside. Depending on the physical configuration of the sheening pole and its biogel sheen, this biogel may be expelled into a below-dancing-table tank, dribble freely into a pool beneath a suspended dancing stage, or be pumped away via hidden means. The former option is often found in movable tables or small stage pedestals intended for more intimate settings, while the middle option is typically used in fixed mountings in club-like environments. The latter option is rarely used owing to its lack of visual appeal.

All sheening dances are one-way trips through the biogel sheen. There is no known way to reverse the transformation into liquid biogel. The biogel may, however, be extracted from its storage vessel, and with its captive, still-conscious soul, converted into various biogel objects, monsters, or suits to be worn by others.

Sheening pole tables can be purchased for ¢10,000, though many restrictions apply. Only authorized biogel clubs can obtain mounted fixtures and other biogel based accessories. The general public can obtain free access to sheening poles at many Gelitech Boutiques, the Gelitech Gelariums, Biogel Games arenas, and numerous biogel clubs.
