Live Love Acts New Orleans
Wednesday, July 15, 2015 12:00 AM
I have reading the posts about client's experiences at "Big Daddy's Love Acts" with a lot of curiosity and frankly, disappointment. Quite obviously the place has been going downhill for a very long time now. From what I have read/observed, a lot of patrons have gone into the club thinking they were going to see no kidding, "live love acts" between male and female dancers and this has been anything but the case. I am not too surprised at learning of this. Things have really changed in the erotic entertainment business over these past 20 years or so and I guess a lot of folks might say "I am stuck in the past". That is completely fair. I have not been to NOLA in over 8 years but my best guess about the current situation in that place is that the clients are not seeing any "love acts" at all between male and female dancers or, what love acts they do see are all girl on girl numbers. By the way, back in the day we (dancers) called them "love dances". I should know as I was a male dancer there way back in 1996 and again in 2005. Also, I should think that anyone in America that frequents strip clubs would have long since known that actual sex on stage in America is strictly forbidden. I do believe that actual live sex shows did exist in New York City back in the 70s but Mayor Rudy eventually got them banished. Amsterdam and Barcelona are the only places I know of that still allow this. At the time I danced I believe there were only 2 actual existing strip club establishments that featured striptease duets between males and females. The club in NOLA and a club in San Francisco. At least they were the only places I knew of. I had been doing some exotic dancing off and on for a few years prior to getting hired at the Unisexx Club. That is what it was called in my day. There were only about 4 of us guys that were regular dancers there and up to about 12 female dancers that would be working that place on any given night. Like any strip club a few of the girls in those days were awful looking, some average, but some of them very good looking. The manager then was strict and tried hard to make the place into a classy establishment if that was even remotely possible. As a regular male dancer you would not even be considered for a position unless you were extremely well built/chiseled. It seemed to me that the manager wanted to make the place into an obviously, much more scaled down version of the hugely famous Gerard Simi shows in Europe which featured male and female dancers performing well choreographed striptease duets for high paying clientele. Simi was a classically trained ballet dancer who danced at the famous Lido Cabaret in Paris. The Lido is especially famous for the erotic pas de deaux (partnering) ballet numbers which required the male and female dancer to perform the numbers in G-strings. Simi took the philosophy to another level and packed the theaters in Europe with his all nude male and female erotic ballet striptease duets.
On any given night at the Unisexx a patron would typically see 4 solo female dance numbers with a love dance mixed in. Male dancers would go up on stage to do a solo number as female clients came in. I worked with 3 different girls on the striptease duets and people loved the acts. I worked what I would call the AM shift and this was very early in the evening. Many of the patrons were your standard heterosexual, tourist couples that were intrigued by the guy/girl dance numbers. Maybe they had visions of the Simi shows or shows they saw in Vegas but whatever the case they wanted to see a guy and girl do a sexy dance number on stage.
I recall many females coming into the club by themselves and they were perhaps the biggest fan of the striptease duets. If a group of women came in then it was a given that I would get lots of tips doing private dances for one, or all of them. Later on in 2005 when I went back to dancing at this club it was plainly obvious that the entire place was a toilet. The bar itself was vastly scaled down and the stage had a red velvet bed installed at the back of it. I was the only male dancer working at the place and I performed with 3 different girls on any given night. It was clearly obvious to me that many of the girls were gay and in fact, some of the dance numbers featured girl on girl sex acts. Completely gone were anything that smacked on any real dancing or dance seduction. In 95 we sold intimacy to couples. Our acts offered something to the ladies and gentlemen. In 05 I noticed that the crowd was much louder and bawdier and just plain rude. The younger guys and even girls wanted lesbian acts and even considered my performances with the girls "gay". Now how much damned sense does that make? Many of the girls that worked there even suggested I dance for the gay bars. No way was I doing that. What in the fuck is going on with erotic dancing these days? As a dancer you are selling a fantasy to your client and it seems to me that you cannot do that if that client knows you are decidedly attracted to a member of your own sex. Lesbianism is now the complete norm in any type of strip club and is even expected. Homosexual shows have also exploded. Believe it not I don't have anything against people's sexual preferences. I am just resentful that there are no longer any desire for male/female dance numbers in the erotic entertainment industry. Who goes to a ballet to see a girl dance with a girl? Who goes to the Salsa conventions to watch a guy dance with a guy? My guess is "not many"!
