I would do this too. I'm not against anyone else choosing that for themselves, but I'd go straight for the fries


I can't sell my sex....now, mind you, I could give it away for free to a knucklehead dimwit partner, but something about being on a stage or doing it for strangers I can't fathom...

...and this coming from a Scorpio, the most sexual(ly obsessed) sign in the zodiac

I'm a Scorpio too.

psychodelicide said:

Isn't it funny how we reek sex, but well, you know we have that certain
"no way, no chance of THAT ever happening" quality about us

Ottensen said:

That's because we have class.

psychodelicide said:

So people who would do it have no class?

JustErin said:

No, I'm not looking down on people who do it, and saying that they don't have class. I realize that with times being as tough as they are, people do what they have to, to make ends meet. Stripping is just something I would not consider doing, not my cup of tea.

psychodelicide said:

I see...

But it's ok to admit that you think people who make that decision are classless....if that's really what you think, because that's really what your post said.

Not saying you're right or wrong for thinking that (or not), btw.

JustErin said:

No, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I said in my last post that I did not look down on people who did stripping as a way to make money. Perhaps my post earlier gave that impression, but that was not my intention at all.

psychodelicide said:

Okey dokey then.

And strippers are bad people?

Would you rather starve, or get the bills paid?

ZombieKitten said:

unlike you, I have felt fake boobs, and with my face

meow85 said:

Co sign, I never considered stripping/gogodancing/lapdancing as something shameful.

MarySharon said:

It's just another excuse for people -women, usually -to look down on others IMO.

There's no shame in that sort of work. Jenna Jameson just had twins. Do you think as those boys grow up she's going to hide her former career and tell them mommy was a secretary?

meow85 said:

I hope she won't. The sooner the better to be taught about life.

MarySharon said:

People (again, almost always women) who have a problem with strippers or porn stars or even prostitutes need to grow the fuck up, and mind their own business.

meow85 said:

How the hell are Jenna's twin boys are going to feel when the other kids in school tease them about their mother Jenna going down on other men AND women on film?!?

Anyway, being a stripper & being an adult film actor/actress are two different things (despite both being counted as adult entertainment).

I know I'm old & repressed (and I don't think stripping/porn automatically makes you less of a person, or that being a secretary makes you better) but do you really think that a mother who fucks strangers for money sets the best example for a young girl?

Yes, you do what you need to do to feed your family, but really, you find nothing at all wrong with sending that message to your kids?

NDRU said:

I want to feel fake boobs too!

ZombieKitten said:

for $20 a song, you can, too!

NDRU said:

OK

No I could never do that. My best friend did it for a while and I watched her stripping once. I am not confident enough and now to old too . And I am not a good dancer .

NDRU said:

No, it doesn't. For a young girl or boy.

NDRU said:

I don't see anything wrong with that.....It would be the wrong message if drug addiction, violence, pimp etc was added. But prostitution is just another job, in some cases a very high paying one

i'm not a girl. but i would strip for my country. of course i would commit capital offense. cause if you saw me.. and i stripped..its like flab everywhere lol..i would be known as the potato stripper.

ThirdandFinal said:

And if their 14 year old girl decided to get herself a part time job hooking after school, would that be okay since it's just a job that will teach her some life skills?

At the very least, prostitution is (in most places) illegal. Personally I don't have a problem with people breaking certain laws, but is it responsible parenting to take that risk of being in jail?

I'm not coming down on hookers, either, just saying realistically is it just the same as an office job? Even if you take out the moral issues, I don't think it is.

MarySharon said:

If you like doing it... good for you.

I am old fashioned when it comes to making money with nudity or turning strangers on by sexy dancing.

To me stripping and prostitution go hand in hand. Most strippers are also prostitutes.

I just prefer to raise my daughter with stricter morals, that's all.

NDRU said:

Stripping, prostitution and drug addiction go hand in hand. Most prostitues/strippers are drug addicts and come from abused homes.

NDRU said:

Sorry, I was talking about the context of a legal enviorment. And no, it would not be ok for a 14 year old. As soon as a woman is 18 she should be allowed to do what she wants
