Whether it's a generational thing or the multiple options for your adult dollars, it seems that what once was a right of passage for most red blooded males is now an apparent novelty or relegated to bachelor parties. At least in the my corner of the country (Midwest), strip clubs are closing or on life support.
My work requires me to interact with a lot of twenty something males and I've done a little informal polling. The results when asked "When is the last time or have you ever been to a strip club" are almost always "I've only been once a couple of years ago" or "never." They usually divided into two groups. The men who say they don't "need" go to to see strippers, the inference being they're above attending a club and get all the hot ass they can handle just by walking in the room. And then there's the guys that when asked get sort of look of uncomfortable terror in their eyes. Like you just asked him to join you in a threesome at a Tijuana whorehouse.
I grew up in a small town the 80s when to see a booby you had to steal a glimpse of your dad's girly magazine or watch HBO at 3am. I wasn't experienced at adept at separating our small town girls from their Gloria Vanderbilt's so therefore I left my teens sexually frustrated.
So when I became the age that I could walk in a building and waved a twenty at the half naked chick gyrating across the room, it resulted in her leading me to a private area and gyrating naked on me, I was SOLD IMMEDIATELY!! But now BJs are given in middle school bathrooms and sexting your last four boyfriends by your junior year is common place so maybe it is a generalization thing.
Part 2 coming later...
Just speaking from my experience (i don't have any real data to back this up) but in my corner of the woods (North-Central NJ) almost all of the towns are trying to close them down if they have them or force them to go bikini/go-go style. Many clubs are in constant litigation for violating this or that. You have to understand that most municipalities in NJ are pretty predatory and want more tax dollars/redevelopment done/fines, etc. Also when there's shootings/large fights they tend to get shutdown and may never reopen if higher bidders want the land. I don't think its due to lack of demand amongst younger guys but to a reduced willingness of towns to have them nowadays. My younger cousin is early 20s hes been to a few. Im 32 ive been to too many to remember lol As land becomes more expensive its all about the tax dollars and many clubs were built in shitty spots decades ago that are now more valuable real estate. Ive noticed a pattern here in NJ but Im sure its different elsewhere. Jersey's always a little different... According to the news younger kids dont drink, smoke, do drugs or have sex as much we did either so you might be on to something. There could also be vast differences by region. Go-Gos/Strip clubs are more numerous and ingrained in the culture of certain places than in others.
