Most of the time, men giving lap dances is little more than amusing. It's not like women giving lap dances; there's no up close and personal, no heavy breathing, no roving paws. Instead, there's whooping and hollering and laughter.

But sometimes, with some men, there is some wiggle room for lap dances to be sexy. Like, for instance, when the man on the lap is Hugh Jackman.

Jackman described to Jay Leno how he gave Amanda Seyfried a private dance (in public) for her birthday recently, and there is some measure of photographic evidence. Seyfried, needless to say, looks thrilled.

We would be too.
