Did I miss a memo?

A little here, a little there
I started clubbing over 20 years ago, and went solidly up until about 8 years ago. I took a few years off but about 3 years ago started frequenting again. And I noticed a major change. I've been in clubs all over the US. In the '80's and '90's it seemed to be always the same. On a typical dance you might get a nipple brushed across the face occassionally, but everything was pretty much just a spectator sport. And I'm only speaking of the mainstream, topless clubs here. Of course there was always more fun to be had at the lesser-known underground clubs.
I quit regular clubbing for a couple years, and since returning, it seems that in every club, the expected behavior is touching is now allowed, if not encouraged. Again, some more than others, but now if you aren't sure, hands are usually placed there by the dancer. And this isn't just at local clubs, but clubs all over. Maybe some of you haven't noticed because the "change" happened over a period of time. But having stopped and then returned, it's still quite a nice change for me.
This may only pertain to those who've been clubbing for many years, but have you also noticed this? Do you think it's because the industry has become a lot more mainstream, and the occupation a little more accepted? Just curious as to your thoughts. (And please understand that this is NOT a complaint of any kind! It's a celebration!)

We can get blue in the face discussing why this change has happened but maybe millenials are more liberal and sexually open that generations past, maybe the recession and less discretionary spending made clubs and dancers up what they offered.
I think the recession, Internet porn, web camming, maybe even guys more interested in going to places like twin peaks and tilted kilt versus a strip club have made this change. Either that or there's just a bunch of horny women working clubs now that like sex!?! Lol
This wouldn't happen 10 years ago.
Society is a lot more permissive now than it was back then. Movies, TV (including commercials), billboards... sex is in your face everywhere.
The Internet has been a game changer across many businesses including the sex biz - w/ so much available porn; cam sites; online escort sites; sugar daddy sites; women showing their wares on sites like Instagram; i.e. “whoring” seems to have gone more main stream.
Perhaps it's a combo of it becoming more mainstream and also more competition whereas pre-internet days often times one had to drive the block and pick up women in a corner in order to get one's rocks off (i.e. SCs thus had less mainstream competition) – and w/ cam sites why pay top-dollar just to see a naked chick in a strip club where you can see 100s in a cam-site and cheaper (i.e. SCs need to offer more to get the pervs in).
I'm actually more surprised by areas that still have supa-strict rules to where either SCs are not allowed or they have supa-strict rules where often only air-dances are allowed - and surprised how many areas are still like this – I'd venture to say there are more areas w/ no SCs or strict-SCs than liberal SC areas.
In my market it depends on the club. It also can depend on how much you pay. For $10 lap dances you have to find the right girl to play with tits, kiss and suck nipples. For 100 dollar VIP groping is generally expected at a minimum.
I guess you are not aware of the DS :)
it's all because there is no crime in South Carolina and the only thing agents can think of doing is spending up to 2,000 per strip club visit for a year to catch people doing things.
yep for 2k, even the cops can get anyone. I'm glad the cops are busting girls working at restaurants or burger king etc, or we'd have no place to go to eat. for 2k per visit, I think I could find illegal activity almost anywhere.
Like the OP, I'm not complaining but celebrating.
All that changed around three years ago when I stopped in, by myself, at a sc and beautiful young dancer actually asked for my phone number and wanted to hang out OTC. Really? This shit really has changed.
Perhaps it was always like that and I just never knew it or whatever. I think the initiation of cell phones making communicating with the honeys easier and safer really drove the change.
