The cowboy is undoubtedly one of the most iconic masculine symbols of the 20th century. Film, television, and music present the cowboy figure in many forms and styles continuously attracting audiences with voyeuristic interest, erotic fantasy, and physical desire. Media has shaped the cowboy image into both a symbol that is idolized, sexualized, and fantasized over in sexual performance spaces.

As a result of such representations, the cowboy has become one of the most popular characters performed in the male strip show
