What is your opinion of strip clubs and the people who hang out in them?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) July 16th, 2010

This came from the bartender question and some of the responses. I’ll admit to a mild curiosity about them, but one of the responses to the bartender question got to me in more than one way and made me rethink my stance on them. What is your opinion?

Adults are free to buy and sell what they please, IMO, as long as all parties are capable of consenting and do so.

That said, it’s not something I’d be interested in partaking in, either as a performer or customer. I’ve never even been to one of those bachelorette parties with guys stripping. It just strikes me as distasteful. But that’s just me. I know people enjoy it and I don’t judge them.

I go with my husband to the strip club, it’s fun and I get to see hot nekkid women, and we have “spank bank” material for later when we get home

The women that work there are generally very nice, not in your face, or all over you, they respect your space until and unless you invite them into your ‘space’ (so to speak)

I’ve had couch dances that left me breathless

Maybe because the one or two that we go to are ‘nice’ ones, I’ve heard stories of some nasty places, which I think would probably have tainted my feelings about the experience in general if I’d been to one of “those” places

we’re adults and the women make a lot of money to have people see their bodies move to music… what’s to hate about it?

Thanks April and Christine. Although Christine, if you go any further with that I’m going to need a cold shower. Spank Bank? Cool.

@Adirondackwannabe (if you’ve never been, just go once)

I think they’re relatively sleazy and I personally would never want to go to one. I’m not opposed to them existing and I don’t think less of people who go there (I have friends who’ve been and had positive stories to tell), it’s just not my thing.

The funny thing is.. if you’ve ever been to a ‘male review’ where men get semi-naked for women, you will see the scary difference between the two
Women are B-R-U-T-A-L
I waitressed at a place that had male review every Wednesday… women would tear at what tiny little piece of cloth that these guys had covering their junk… Really!?!?!?

Whereas in a “gentleman’s club” you sit back and enjoy the view. I’ve never seen any man act the same out of control way that I’ve seen women in the same situation

The Male review is what I would call ‘sleazy’ in comparison.

Seedy no matter what kind of decor or location. I’ve known strippers, co investors, servers and what not who work the places and it’s it’s own scene. This is where the party people come together and all the baggage along with like drugs, alcoholisim, prostitution, emotional abusers and physical ones too. If it was so easy to “take the money and run” then I wouldn’t feel so opinionated about anyone I care for going there but most people I know have little positive to say except to get in and get out as quickly as possible.

It’s all good.

It’s not my scene and i would not accept my man doing it, either before or during he was in a relationship with me. It’s not the kind of people i knowingly associate with. This is just my personal preference and i also think it’s sleazy.
