The course description reads: "If ...you've got nipples, you can twirl tassels. If you've got a butt, you can twirl assels. And guess what you need to twirl a tasticle? Put your best chest forward and learn this unique skill from a man (and a woman) who have taught tassel twirling on every part of the body in every part of the world. From NYC to LA, Coney Island to Sydney Harbor, everywhere the globe spins, they've brought the twirl. Tassels, assels, and tasticles provided. Why should girls have all the fun?"
