Striptease involves a slow, sensuous undressing. The stripper may prolong the undressing with delaying tactics such as the wearing of additional [[clothes]] or putting clothes or hands in front of just undressed body parts such as the [[breast]]s or [[genitalia]]. The emphasis is on the act of undressing along with sexually suggestive movement, rather than the state of being undressed. In the past, the performance often finished as soon as the undressing was finished, though today's strippers usually continue dancing in the nude.<ref name="Richard Wortley 1976">Richard Wortley (1976) ''A Pictorial History of Striptease''.</ref><ref name=Clifton>{{cite book|title=Baby Oil and Ice: Striptease in East London|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cgCfPQAACAAJ|first=Lara|last=Clifton|first2=Sarah|last2=Ainslie|first3=Julie|last3=Cook|publisher=Do-Not Press|year=2002|isbn=9781899344857}}</ref> The costume the stripper wears before disrobing can form part of the act. In some cases, audience interaction can form part of the act, with audience urging the stripper to remove more clothing, or the stripper approaching the audience to interact with them.
