Strippers

The Fear

The Fear

A Wise Man (once sat next to him)
Anyone been watching Strippers on channel four?

I find it quite disturbing, one now on is just a teenager.

I don't really get strip clubs, never been to one, can't see that changing, I think a lot of exploitation goes on, scratch the surface and you have the sex slave trade etc. I realise some do this by choice and make decent money but...

Not sure I find they sort of gyrating a great turn on really. Surely it is like taking a kid into a sweet shop to look but not letting them touch?

(Keep this discussion decent please !!)
 
been to a few for stag doo's etc. JF, it is exactly like what you think its like... Sweet shop and not being able to have what you really want.


my mate had a dance of a big black bird and said she smelt haha :)

then he paid for another dance with her, to just double check. Idiot.
 
I went once on a stag night. It was fun but I've never been back. It all seemed like harmless fun to me.
 
Must admit never been a big fan of strip clubs seen quite a lot of strippers over the years but can't remember ever being over excited by one not like some you see at the certain venues openly displaying their excitement.Easy money I suppose not sure the licensed venues use sex slaves but for sure there is a dark and sinister side to it.
 
When I was younger I went to a few for a number of reasons.... mostly with mates, but I haven't been to a club for over 20 years.......

Oh and no, not been watching the programme. I try to steer clear of anything with adverts interjecting......

 
I went to a stip club once and my mates wife worked there which I had no idea about her working there. Was pretty awkward when she came over in her skimpy bra and thongs to have a chat.
 
... then I seen her a week later at the football watching her husband play, wrapped up in a fluffy coat and gloves lol
 
I went to a Rugby club stag do and the bloke who got on stage to "perform" with the strippers was my best mates dad who obviously didn't know I was there.

Every time I went round to my mates house after that I couldn't look him in the eye .
 
Felt a bit sorry for some of the ones they were interviewing, one was 18, living in the dregs of an estate, trying to do a degree to 'escape' the life and stripping to fund herself.

Have had to turn off, too stressful!
 
Seen something some woman who was a high flyer in the city or something that worked as prostitute to get her kicks and ended up murdered.
 
I went to one in the States just outside Boston. It wasn't my idea but the 3 guys I was with were insistant we went and it was the first time I had ever been in one. I'm no prude by any means but I kind of felt abit uncomfortable being there to be honest. The girls did like a 5 minute turn each on the main stage to music of their choice and I got dragged to the main stage area by my mates. They were whooping and grinning and readily putting up $10 bills on the railing to get the girls to come over and dance in front of us. I tried not to look too much and got a bit of stick from the guys. As I sort of looked towards the floor this dancer came up to me and said "I'm up here sweetheart, not down on the floor, you're supposed to look at me and the other girls". Feeling embarrassed I watched her do the rest of her routine which ended with her totally naked except for high heels (she wasn't exactly overdressed when she went on stage). About 10 minutes later this same young lady came over to talk to us cos it was obvious by our accents we were English and she asked me why I found it awkward watching them on stage. I explained that it somehow felt very voyeuristic and I was always brought up to respect women - not in the classic "no sex please we're British" prudish way, but just not in the kind of public manner that strip joints are. I explained that I love the female form as much as any red blooded male but I also respect women as human beings with dignity. This woman, she was mid 20s I'd say, smiled and said that all the girls there enjoyed what they did, they can each make in excess of $400 a day cash, they were proud of their bodies and none of them felt any embarrassment at showing them off, that they were safer in that room than anywhere, the staff were resepctful and very protective of the girls safety and if any punter made any attempt to make a grab for one of them, they would be dealt with in no uncertain terms (which probably would involve some kind of medical assistance). She got me to look around the place and it was actually very well lit and a very well decorated place. It wasn't a seedy run down venue with dimly lit corners. Then just as I was beginning to feel more relaxed about my surroundings, this guy comes over and says "the next girl coming up on stage is my 19 year old daughter and she's a really pretty girl, you'll enjoy watching her dance". That for me was like a gunshot in the guts. I recoiled at the thought that her mother and father were there watching her dance infront strangers and stripping off to dance totally nude. As a step dad now to a 17 year old girl, I can't think of anything more awful to witness than someone you had cared for and looked after from being a small child, to be displaying herself in public for money whether she had bodyguards close by or not. We stayed for about an hour in total and it might have been a more enjoyable stay but that guy bragging about his daughter haunted my conscience. She was drop dead gorgeous I admit but I found it almost impossible to watch her knowing her dad was sitting no more than 20 feet away, cheering her on. He's a man, he knows what men think in those places and yet he was happy to have his teenage daughter working there.

I have never been near a strip joint since and don't think I'll ever bother to be honest. I can still see a gorgeous woman walk by and think to myself "yeah if I was a bit younger and single, I'd wreck that body", but that is all it ever is - just a momentary thought process like every other normal red blooded male.

 
Yup, think that is sort of where I'm at. Interesting post starchild. From this programme as well, maybe just personal taste, but their writhing around and gyrating just doesn't do it for me, it looks a bit ridiculous.

I'm not a great window shopper though, why look at what you can't have!? :3:
 
Been to a few in this country with groups of guys but never paid for a "dance" as really do not see the point. Sadly in this kind of industry you will always get exploitation but lets not forget, these programmes are made to get a reaction. I have known a couple of strippers and still know a couple of "escorts" who do what they do because they enjoy it. They do not do drugs and have an understanding that they can not stay in this line of work forever, therefore they make as much money as they can. pay there dues (club fee's or agency fee's dependant on profession) and are learning other skills to enable them to invest in there own futures. I know that they are probably in a minority but then again if the men paying the money were to use decent establishments/agencies rather than looking for cheap street rats, they too could help clean the industry up.

I much prefer an organised "Gentleman's" evening in the local working men's club than these kinds of clubs.
 
Yeah, to be fair, the programme isn't 'that' bad shock value wise, they do seem to be wanting to look at why the ladies are doing it etc.

Just seemed a couple were lost and sad little characters, the 18 year old especially. Seems very young to be doing such things but not making judgements, just all seems cold to me, not sexy. But as said, we all find different things sexy.

Some do say they enjoy it and find it empowering. I worry when you scratch below the surface of SOME of these places what is going on though.
 
I used to go to a boozer in derby that had a strippers night. None of this lap dancing bollocks but a proper dirty strippers on stage night, with a room full of (at least 100) dodgy geezers perving and jeering (like an episode of auf weirdersen pet.

The one week the bird starts walking towards me, I shook my head at her and pointed to my mate beside me. She was having none of it and shook her head back at me, took my pint, pulled my hands forward, covered them in baby oil and made me rub her knockers. Trust me, doing that in front of a room packed with geezers laughing their heads off is no fun at all.

Thankfully, the following week my mate (an overweight stereotypical spectacle wearing, straight laced Lancastrian) copped it a lot worse. In undeniably the funniest night of my life (I literally could not breath for laughing and thought I was going to die) this bird has pulled him up on stage, made him undress behind a cover then removed the cover with him now wearing her skimpy thong, all his bits on show. She then bent him over and squirted whipped cream all over his arse, then whipped his arse with his own belt, which she then tied round his neck and walked him round the pub on all fours, through crowds of geezers, many of them bikers. Absolutely amazing entertainment, all for £2 entry fee!

You don't get that in spearmint rhino!!!
 
Why is it female stripping is frown upon and considered seedy and sleazy but male strippers get to perform at the hippodrome or other respectable venues? There was a petition here recently to close a lap dancing club as it was deemed unsuitable for a family friendly resort but nothing said when the Dreamboys or a The Chippendales appear at the local theatre.
 
I'd find it humiliating and that would make me aggressive. Wouldn't like that at all!!
 
Iv been to a few but its such a waste of money $20 to tease me I do and dont get it...

Yeah you get this hot girl making it all about you but then its over and you've got nothing for your money really...
 
Starchild - that was a great read...I too went through the same scenario with the feeling that women are worth more than being subjected to a few quid to expose themselves. I just couldnt be one of those males that pays for and encourages the exploitation of women. I dont care how well lit up the place is, or how much money they make - I just dont feel comfortable with the whole experience. Yes ive been there and wore the T-Shirt - had the same conversation with one of the girls you had, (maybe its just a common thing they experience). Had a private lap dance(I must own the record for the length of time it took) seen all the shit, dont touch(even though she didnt mind) blah, blah blah - its just cheap and crap, didnt like it one bit..
