Strip club addiction?
serpentx
New York
I usually get long dances from one particular girl who is a 10 but with low mileage (Detroit standards, means no bj or fs). Other times I just visit different clubs and tip on stage, a few dances once in a while. Not a big fan of extra at this point. Good thing is that i can still set my budget and stick with it, so far.
Got something to say?

But I think if I was a detroit local hanging out at H8S would not be too bad.
The question of addiction would have to do with how much it is causing harm or neglect to other areas of your life. You would consider areas like affect on family, work, personal finances, build of normal relationship, affects on normal recreation, any changes in the way you perceive yourself and others as a consequence of it. You should also factor in not just time inside the club, but time outside the club in which strip clubs are consuming your mental cycles. Also keep in mind that most with an addiction will be in denial about it until things really start to fall apart and it becomes pretty much impossible to deny. This, of course, will generally take some time.
Well, once a week for dances. Then maybe 1-2 times a week I'll just pop in, have a drink and do some stage tipping.
Addiction? More like a habit I could quit any time I wanted...ok, that's probably not true, but I could definitely cut back if I had to. At least I like to think so.
I imagine a stripper addiction is better than a drug addiction, at least you can't do much physical harm to yourself (unless you catch an STD!). Compared to gambling, at least you would be getting something for your money (although it could be debated that some professional gamblers do, in fact, make money, but are still addicted).
Work addiction might be the seemingly least harmful and "better" than a stripper addiction.
However, I still want to go to this extras friendly club and get some strange itc but I know it would prob cost $200 and up. I just keep telling myself the money is better spent with my gal but my SC addiction is certainly there.
I don't do drugs and don't drink much so I'm always joking at least my hobby doesn't do physical damage. I've always wondered if I was getting emotionally or mentally damaged though.
Rehab is for quitters anyway - lol.
If I spend $200 at SCs a couple times a week for the identical reasons, suspicion immediately crops up as to whether I "need" to do this, there's "obsession/compulsion" involved, or SCs being "my friend." Of course, if I say no, I do it because I find it relaxing, socially engaging, fun, and it offers a respite from my work-a-day world, then people suggest I might just be in denial. If I get upset they'd jump to those conclusions, then it just becomes more evidence in their minds that I'm in denial.
Is there something wrong with this picture? Of course there is. In Germany where brothels and FKKs are perfectly acceptable parts of German life, nobody worries about the moneyed gentleman who stops by a couple times a week to relieve stress, socialize with beautiful women, enjoy restaurant-quality meals, and relax in the spa. As with any diversionary activity, if it's done to an extreme, resulting in an impoverished home life, unpaid bills, missed work, etc., then intervention may be warranted. But it seems to me, in some our backward American cultural ideals, we in a sense "create" a problem, or burden ourselves with undue concern, where nothing more than normal male biological/psychological desires are being addressed.
In other words, the problem is "without" instead of "within." The only reason SCs persist, despite the constant drive to abolish them, is because normal heterosexual males (which comprise most of us) really want it in a big way. We're "wired" to enjoy sexal titillation, male/female banter, touching/hugging, and sexual release, at least a couple times a week, if not more. It's normal, healthy, and part of a balanced life. That our society attempts to block this is the real tragedy. So I say, carpe diem and live la vida loca, but as with golf (or boating, rock climbing, traveling, or any discretionary activity) enjoy it within your means and never neglect other aspects of a well-balanced life.
Well sure, you're not going to Vegas on that, but if you're cheap, er, I mean frugal, it can be done. Go to a lower-tier club on an off night (say Monday) when there's reduced or no cover, drink specials (say $2 drafts), and cut rate lap dance prices (say $10 dance). You can have a couple beers, do some $1 stage tipping, and even get a lap dance or two for $30 bucks or less.
"Hello, my name is Spudd, and I'm a Strip club addict."
Even though I readily admit that I'm addicted... I do NOT want to break the addiction!
