Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
Posted by donegal419
I know that some women choose to work in strip clubs, but i would think the majority of them are there because they have no other choice... or they are supporting a drug problem or other addiction.
I beg to differ. I am very good friends with a major club owner. Actually many of them are either students or single moms.

Not a fan, and when I was younger, I used to get upset if I knew that DH (then FH) went to one for a bachelor party. Not that I didn't trust him, but I just didn't like the idea. Now, I'm accepting of him going.
Same here. I don't love them or anything, but i just don't care either way... i think that i just kind of have No feelings about them.

I feel that they are degrding to women and IMO they perpetuate the attitude that women's bodies are worthless and cheap. I think it degrades the sanctity of the body for women AND men. I wouldn't be caught dead in one and neither would my DH.
I know that some women choose to work in strip clubs, but i would think the majority of them are there because they have no other choice... or they are supporting a drug problem or other addiction.
Yes, some are - but the top shelf ones are really attracting the women that want to make a LOT of money, plain and simple... most of them are paying for college that way...

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
DH and I went to one last weekend and had a blast!  JMHO I would much rather go to see girls shaking their thang than men. I am 100% heterosexual and committed to my DH but I can appreciate the female body. DH and I have boundaries set and as long neither one crosses a line, we have a great time together. I am friends with a couple girls who are/ were in the business. According to my friends, they are thinking about their kids or school or the laundry, not how they're going to steal your man away.

Me too....Thats a cliche...and not true in this day and age.
I dont care either way.
Iw ouldnt want my DH hanging in one every weekend, but for a guys night out or a bachelor party I have no issue with it.
I ahve gone in the past with BF's at the time and had a lot of fun and would go again.

Exactly my point.... women that have to choose between being a stripper and feeding their kids or young women that have to choose between not going to school at all because they can't afford tuition and never having the education to get a better job than a stripper.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
my policy for DH is you can look but you cant touch. so if he were to go, no lap dances! i'm very firm about this and i trust him enough that he will do what i ask. i just find it disrespectful to have some strange woman rubbing up on my husband. the thought of it makes me feel icky.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
doesn't bother me -- but DH doesn't really go. only once in awhile if there's a bachelor party or something he might go. i think maybe 4x in a year he's gone to them.
i tell him that i would prefer he does NOT get a lap dance---which he agrees with. having beers while topless chicks are around doesn't bother me--but when the lap dances are thrown in--i think it kind of grosses me out. since we all know what the stripper's goal is during a lap dance. (boiiiing!) i don't like the idea that some girl's crotch was grinding on my husband's (insert expletive here)
we have that understanding--but overall i'm not bothered if he goes just to go with some friends. heck we've gone to them together.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
I don't care about them.
But I do feel like it's an easy way for beautiful women to take money away from men. I also think for the most part, those men are fooling themselves into thinking a beautiful woman would talk/rub up against them had they not had the cash.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
I don't care if DH goes with friends...and DH and I have gone together a couple times (makes for a hot night!).
As far as why the women do it...I have known three strippers in my life and not one of them was a drug addict, single mom or student. All three were single women who owned their own homes and had brand new cars. You have no idea the amount of $$$$$ these women make...granted there are quite a few sleazy places, but if you are good enough to get into a good club, you can do really well. I have never had enough confidence in my own body to do it - but I don't find it degrading to women at all.
I find male strip places way more degrading - to the men and women. The women act like sex starved maniacs and the men go around rubbing themselves all over the women and getting oil rubbed on them, etc. I think it's way grosser than watching a girl on stage dance or even getting a lap dance in NY (no touching allowed).
BTW, this should be perfect Friday drama!!!

I agree.
Actually, I think it almost degrades men by assuming that they are so foolish and brainless that they will fork over endless amounts of $$ to see a boob job in action. And a lot of them ARE!!! 
I have a friend who was a dancer. She is a highly respected and well paid attorney now. She could have worked her way through school doing 10 hour shifts at Starbucks and would have wound up owing a bucket of money in student loans - but dancing gave her the opportunity to go to school and come out of college and law school with no debt. She doesn't regret her decision, so I don't know why anyone else would regret it for her.
ETA: When I was pregnant with my first, DH and I were not yet married or living together. I used to drop him off at a strip club on my way home on Friday nights once in a while (if I didn't go with him). I figured he'd get in less trouble there than out at some club where there are tons of drunk chicks looking to hit on anything and anyone that potentially has a wallet to buy them more drinks. He doesn't really go to clubs anymore, but if he was having a guys night and that's where they were ending up it wouldn't bother me - as long as he told me about it.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
well I only went once or twice to Scores, and actually, the first time my SIL got sick and spent about an hour or two in the bathroom with my friend, so I got to talk to teh strippers. I was surprised at how intelligent and empowered they were and how they knew this was just a game.
In fact, I looke at the men there, some of which were regulars- one had a bday gift for one of the strippers, and I felt bad for HIM, not the strippers. He was so pathetic.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
I've been to a couple of bachelor parties, but that's the only time I would go to a strip club. It's just not my thing. I think the women have the upper hand there. All of these men just throwing money around to see a woman take her clothes off. There's nothing degrading about the human body, IMO. The statue of Venus deMilo is beautiful, and probably gets touched more than most dancers...
I'd rather spend my extra cash on DW.... (and the reward for that is much better than the end of the night at a strip club....  )

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
not for US at all.
Luckily, DH has never shown any interests, so its never really come up. He would never take a night off of work to go to a bachelor party...especially if later in the week he has to take the night off for the wedding.
For me, it blurs a line. I think he would feel disrespected if I put underwear on and danced on a man's lap.
Before we were married, he worked 9 years in a nudist colony....full of porn stars and exotic dancers. I never felt insecure or anything like that.
Once we got engaged, he resigned...he said I was the only T&A that he wants to look at for the rest of his life. how romantic!! When he left, the money loss hurt, but I now fully appreciate what he did.
A lot of our married friends go, they are in happy marriages, but for us, its not our thing and never has been.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
I personally don't care for them. DH doesn't really care much either but when he had strippers at his bachloer party i was fine with it. IF he went to a strip club for someone else' i was okay with it. My BIL knew there were just boundries and i knew he would never let things get out of hand and niether would DH.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
I have seen some raunchy girls and seen some classy ones dance..
(I worked at a bar, so if we wanted to have a drink we went to the strip club because we knew the bouncers and we would be left alone)
One interesting story--I went with my friend that was a hot shot girl-back in school she was tortured and made fun of because she was very heavy.
We walk in and she sees the guy that made her life miserable, she goes up to the owner and asks to dance.
She proceeds to dance and did a damn good job. (They offered her a job )
She never took off one thing.
The guy that tortured her was cheering.
After the dance-she walked over and said..My name is robyn so and so...remember me? and walked away..
his face was priceless...

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
Would I go to one? Sure. Do I want DH at one? He can look but he can't touch.
As far as how I feel about the strippers themselves? Well, I think they're pretty smart. They use every asset they have to make it in this world. More power to them. Would I want to do it? I don't think that even if I had a body like theirs that I would have the self esteem to do it, but hey...to each their own.
The only people who are foolish and degrading, IMO, are the men who go there and fork over their savings account to have their ego stroked.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
I have no problem with them. Dh or myself can go. However I do think that woman get away with a lot more when they go to a male strip club than men get away with at a female club.
It is all in good fun!!!

I know a few people who stripped and put themselves through school and got an education DUE TO STRIPPING. To each his own.
I dont care about them. I have gone with DH, he goes without me and I could careless.
Never had issues with them and to tell you the truth if I had the body and the balls I would LOVE to try it. What a rush.

They dont bother me at all...I could care less if DH goes (although he has gone maybe twice in 5 yrs. for bachelor parties only) to one and I have been to them, both a men's strip club and woman's.

Re: How do you feel about strip clubs?
DH works in construction - so sometimes they all go to a strip club for lunch - they get some entertainment with the buffet - they had a job near Gallaghers, and knew all the girls by name and hung out with them during lunch!!!

Oh my word...as a Southerner I feel I should say something profound like "find Jesus" or "I'll pray for you". I am too interested in hearing more about it than praying for your heathen soul!
