  If they would spend their time with the ladies there, our wallets would be thankful. What they have intended to do there is to destroy the United States in particular. In the name of a proven hoax!

  Several years back I was talking to a stripper at St. James. She was telling me how she had gone to Europe with a one way ticket and limited funds, explaining that she thought she'd just do some stripping if the money became low. She then found out that there's no money in stripping in Europe as naked women can be found at beaches and in city parks. I asked her how she got home. She got a look and changed the subject. It's also the culture. Throughout the 1980's, I saw 75-80 movies a year in the theaters. In college, I entertained the notion of being a film critic. As the early 90's dawned though, nudity dropped way off in American films and graphic violence became prevalent. This year, I've seen 8 movies. European films, on the other hand, are heavy on nudity and light on violence. It's not easy to see euro films here, but I happily make the 60 mile roundtrip to do so.

  I wonder if the strip club industry in america is too strong and they are the ones against prostitution. It would hurt their business. They make more from selling the tease then the real thing. It's like a drug dealer chopping up his drugs into small but more profitable bits. I read on this forum: [view link] "Platinum Plus how do they get away with it ????" from Kentucky: "Basically the girls who are willing to have sex and stuff have to set up a buisness license in their own company name and say its a excort buisness then they basically pay the club to use the champagne room. Don't ask Don't tell basically.THat why the club is not responsible for what happens in that room. THe reason I know this is a old co worker's husband went and racked up 1000 worth of sex on their credit card and she called to find out and platinum told her that they couldn't do anything they didn't run the card it was under a different name. Platinum did tell her that buisness name does lease out the champagne room. Thats the story I heard." I know it's probably a false rumor but it would be interesting if it became true some day.

  To back up how, gas is 5.00 a gallon there, houses are a lot smaller. Socialism runs England and about 80 percent of the country is under Police surveillance at any time. It costs 8.00 just to enter metro London during the day (in a car). Although much of Europe uses a U.S. type Constitution, Police are much more empowered. The Cold War necessitated Police having the power, but the restrictions were never lifted, post Cold War.

  Samsung. Somebody needs to do a fact check. I do know how things works at the sister club in Columbia SC. You can pay for a trip to the Champagne room by credit card. It is billed as, believe it or not Shadow Management. In 8 years I have never heard of a dancer accepting a credit card.If you tip the bouncer, champagne room hostess, and waitress big enough and if you pay the dancer enough. you can get laid. But that is the exception. Rather than the rule. A few months ago a fav told me about doing a gig in the CR. The customer spent $1100 for an hour. She made $650 and he didn't get laid. I believe her. I have known her 7 years and know her limits. The dude could have gotten the same HJ I get from her in the regular couch room for $40. Maybe a little more if she doesn't know you. I have read the reviews for this club and doubt that, that goes on on a regular basis.

  Legalizing prostitution will not be part of President Obama's jobs-creation strategy. That was one emphatic statement that came out of the first stop on the president's multi-city jobs tour -- a stop marked by a few oddball moments. Obama was at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Allentown, Pa., to field questions from the public about the economy, to reiterate his commitment to turning it around and to gloat a little about the new jobs data that showed the jobless rate has dipped to 10 percent. But one questioner had an idea for Obama that was certainly outside the box of tax credits and infrastructure spending. A man in the crowd, a sophomore at the college, asked the president if he would consider legalizing prostitution, marijuana and non-violent crimes as a remedy to boost the economy. "I appreciate the boldness of your question," Obama replied. "That will not be my job strategy." Oh well, he tried!

  The legalization of prostituition in this country is blocked by the morality of the average american citizen, and the power of the religious right, nothing else.

  Shadowcat, If I were in your position I'd be thankful for what you have got and wouldn't swap it for most European counries, but not ours as it is totally fucked.

  londonguy. I should not complain. I have been to several European countries. Not the jolly old England. I can't speak the language. I enjoyed the pervasiveness of the sex, including Copenhagen, (long story)but I certainly do not want their form of socialism. My globe trotting days are over. 8-12 hours in an aluminum tube does not work any more.I am content with my monthly 3 1/2 drive to the #3 rated club in the U.S. where I am widely known. 3 other TUSCLers have already agreed to meet me there this month.I am content.

  A combination of the tolerance towards sex enjoyed in The Netherlands and the Czech Republic combined with your SC's would be ideal.

  londonguy, how are the spearmint rhinos in england compared to the las vegas one?

  samsung, to look at the girls are of the same high quality and that's where the similarity ends. I was at the one in Birmingham (our 2nd city) last week and was less than impressed, although it was a little early in the evening. Review to follow soon.

  I enjoyed reading your london rhino review...it sounds like a lot like the strip clubs in columbus, oh. "One of the best clubs in london and similar in atmosphere to Rhino in Vegas, the big downside is there is NO touching whatsoever thanks to our prudish law makers. Like every club the world over the girls are pushy and can rip you off by saying they have given two dances instead of one. This tends to happen with the Eastern European girls mostly so be careful. A great night out though. Drinks and meals here are very expensive. Private dances are not much better than you get in the lounge area. "

  samsung, I may be going to OH on a business trip, only a slim possibility at the moment though. If I do I will be in the Cleveland area, is this better than Columbus?

  I would consider Dayton the best strip club city in Ohio...Columbus and Cleveland are tied for second. Christie's in Cleveland is well rated on tuscl but I think it is overrated because it does not have a lot of reviews. Toledo has a few good nude clubs but if you travel all the way to Toledo then you should just travel to Detroit because it is within distance. My honest advice though would be to just avoid going to a strip club in Ohio...nothing special at all. If you do come to Columbus, let me know and we can meet up.

  Leagalizing prostitution here would put a lot of SC's out of business and also bring down POP. Here in Houston, it has been so easy to find strippers who do sex otc and itc I have not had time to mess with the many escorts working here whether [view link] or [view link] POP this last week averaged $150, a motel session at $200 and an itc session last Saturday at $100 (same gal). I did have a [view link] hooker for $100 about a month ago a 22 yo x stripper I have known awhile who has become a hooker.

  Player11, you've had better luck than me in the Houston area when I'm in the area. I can't seem to find the POP when I want it. When I moved near Houston 5 years ago, I had to beat off all the hottie model looking, high quality POP with a stick since it was coming out of the woodwork. And the girls back then would out and out ask if you wanted to play with them (starting with CBJ and/or BBBJ and ending with CFS) right before the dance for around $150, and they would deliver!! I only had one ROB in that time. But, with the LE crackdowns in some of the clubs, the ones I used to get POP have left the scene, and the ones that do play don't know me well, so that kills any chance of fun until they can know and trust me.
