I like going to strip joints at the end of a night out because they stay open later. Shitty thing is you need to be with a dude/dudes to get in...but most times some dude will just blurt out, "Oh they are with me" and you're good to go.

But I don't go to male strip joints. I went 2x and they really are beyond pathetic. It's either insanely obnoxious bachelorette parties or morbidly obese young women paying for dances.

It's not at all like you see on youtube or movies most of the time.

A lot of times, it's these really creepy clients who seem to spend their last dime paying for lap dances.

I've sat in places where some of the paying dudes (female strip club) made orgasmic screams of pleasure while receiving lap dances in back corners of places.

There are some nicer establishments of course, but I wouldn't call strip clubs essential. Sometimes very entertaining, but never something you 'have' to experience.

Well, no.

I don't think everyone needs to experience going to a strip joint.

But you should go if you're curious. It's really no big deal. And other than the creeps that are there alone being all creepy, most guys are hanging out with buddies...just like any bar.

I just found out the other night that a lot of states in the US have restrictions like,...can't be bottomless and topless (have to wear pasties) or that there are alcohol restrictions if women are fully nude, and there are "no touch" rules.

It's not like that here at all. They can get fully naked, you can drink and believe me...touching between client and dancer is normal...hell, girls fucking each other with various items is common.

I no longer go because I don't want to waste my money plus I feel creeped out being just another lone guy sitting in some dirty seat near other loners, feeling pathetic is par course.

I have to admit I am curious though... But I'm gonna admit seeing the stuff in movies is what has made me that way... And yeah they certainly have no touch rules here...

You won't see too much of the crazy stuff in the US though.

Here in Thailand female ping pong shows and all-male sex shows are common place.

But in the states, Jesus sort of gets in the way from time to time.

if you're determined to go (and I think you should...) do a little research online first... Yelp actually reviews "Adult Entertainment" so you can try to find one that's not too skeevy.

Unless of course you're into skeevy in which case, go anywhere.

If you're looking for attention from the dancers be prepared to $pend Ca$h... but it's far easier to go and have a drink or two and let someone else make it rain...

If you go with your hubby be prepared that girls will try to take you (or just him) to the VIP... that's where you sign over the note to your car...

Above all don't take it too seriously...

some r great...some suck ass...some r seedy as they get, some have class. Whicheverone U go to, make sure it's well lit....lemme shut up...your dude knows where to take u!

I don't like how it has become all about the lap dance.

I get it, that is where the real money is for these girls, but it's just some expensive dry humping that they constantly try to force you into.

The idea of watching an exotic dancer has taken a sideline, it seems.

well if you go to a nice club on a crowded night, you'll most likely see some pretty good performers. I always have seen one girl who is actually great at what she does

and for tha favor, I usually force them into playing a song 4 me...usually P Control or G-E-T-T O-F-F

I recently went for the first time, and I can say it wasn't what I expected.

I got a lapdance to "Black Sweat".

VERY INTRIGUING!

I found it amusing to talk with the dancers while they tried their best to arouse me.

I told a few of them that I was challenging myself to stay soft during the duration of the dance lol, I was drunk and found that hilarious at the time.

"Come outside & play" would be a great song to poledance to

It is a quite hilarious thing to say. I wonder if I could stay soft

I can't watch girls working and enjoy it, because I know that 90% of working girls have been sexually abused in their childhood, therefore this is easy for them. They just proceed the work they have learned as a kid. Fir the same reason I don't like the majority of porn.

Furthermore, I know that in Amsterdam there are a lot of girls who are victims of human trafficing. Their pimps have their passports, so they can't run away, back to their family, and they have to work for 15 hours in a row.

Other girls are victims of lover boys. A boy who has pretended to be their boyfriend and love them dearly, then when they know the girl is under their power and he has estranged her from her family, he will have her working for him.

Because it's mostly about exploitation of girls, and rarely smart girls making good money, I just can't get in to the strip clubs..........but that's just me.

If you are curious, I guess the only thing you can do is go, and afterwards you can weigh the pros and cons and see if you want to go another time or that you find it nothing for you.

i went in2 one in bankok, just 4 a laugh..years ago with a crowd. the barmaids were pulling pints with their fannies it was gross so i ordered gin

there are any strip bars in my town, people were up in arms over a sex shop.

I have never been to a strip club in all of my *almost* 44 years of life and I dont feel like I have missed out on anything... I have nothing against them really, just no desire to ever go... I think you will live your life out just as happily having not gone to a strip club

judging by your lukewarm interest in going, I'd say don't go.

My boyfriend & I go to strip clubs regularly... really one in particular that is just our hangout spot... the fact that there are naked dancing girls is sort of just an added bonus... it's a small place and the dancers are usually pretty terrible, but we know the owner, manager, & DJ really well after years of him going there, and now years of me coming along... so it's a fun place to just hang out... and they always play me a few Prince songs.

I've seen all-male revues too... which to me are always more skanky than the girls... and the women at those things can be crazy... way more aggressive than any guy I've seen at a club.

But to answer your questions more directly... I don't really think it's something that everyone "needs to experience" but if you're game, it can be fun. If we're going to a new place I always make my guy go once without me to make sure that it's not to scary, check out the clientele, make sure I'd be comfortable, etc... so I would definitely recommend that if you decide to go.

I only went to strip clubs after a long night, when other bars and clubs were closing, for an overpriced beer and for chilling out. What happened there didn´t interest me at all, because if I see something that makes me horny, it has to be ´real´ (and what I saw there was definitely not real, you could smell that these bitches did it for the money only, and that´s pathetic and disgusting to me) and I have to be able to do everything I want to, without having to pay money.

So, no, you haven´t missed anything and the people you meet there are usually the creepiest, most pathetic losers you´ll ever meet.

What everybody else said, and...

Easy way to know if you want to go or not. Do you want to see naked strangers dancing, possibly rubbing their naughty bits on you and/or other clothed strangers in a dark club while loud music plays? If that doesn't sound interesting, don't go.

Its not that I enjoy naked people dancing at all ... Im just big on the curious factor of it.. And your right tina I could totally live without seeing it.. I just let curiosity get to me lol im prob not missing very much..

Nah, if you're curious you should go. Just heed Ren's words and do a little checking before hand. For your first time a costlier more upscale club would probably be the way to go.

You think they would volunteer to dance late nights barely dressed, having ugly loneley guys getting off on them, trying to grope everywhere, because it's so much fun???

These girls are not there because it's the most interesting or best job they can think of.

Offcourse they do it for the money.

No, I don´t. I´m just saying that if they were better at doing their job this wouldn´t be the first thing that came to your mind, - they´d be able to make you relax and concentrate on other facts and not how they do it for the money only.

yes, I am pretty sure the ones who make the most money are the ones who are convincing that is actually exciting for them too, and not just about the money
