Harassment over OTC/ITC?

The majority of your TUSCLers seem pretty respectful. Horndogs, but who isn't, seriously? When I first joined/started dancing, I was very judgmental of dancers who provided extras. Now, not so much. I would prefer if a girl didn't run her biz in the club, but whatever; I can put a toilet seat cover down and wipe the pole with excessive amounts of Germ-X. Doesn't faze me anymore.
I don't do extras. Never have. I sell a lot of dances probably because I'm upfront about what I will and will not do. Nothing like getting back there and having the guy whip his dick out because we didn't have that conversation. It's embarrassing for both me and him. As a result, I don't hint at extras or promise them. That's SS, and believe it or not, it's kind of annoying to hear dancers bragging in the back about how they ripped some guy off. The dude's drunk, he's tipping, why rip him off? Also, there's the added factor of the chance that if I got into the habit of promising guys I'd do stuff, and didn't, he'd become very aggressive and even physical about it.
I'll give you a good, hard (or slow, depending on the music) dance, I encourage and tolerate a lot of touching, and I don't ask for tips afterward -- that's the customer's prerogative. From what I've seen, if I don't ask for VIP tips, he'll buy more dances.
Anyway, what I don't understand is how some guys will continue to ask me to do ITC/OTC, when I've already made it clear I don't do that. Some of them get pretty aggressive about it, and I'm just thinking, 'I'm ONE of eight to ten girls on shift. Please ask someone else; why are you pestering me about it?' You're just wasting your time; I'm not even gonna play around with negotiations because that's just BS on both our parts.
Maybe it's because they expect that if they flash some cash my panties will immediately get wet, and when I don't respond, it hurts their ego. Idk. I love customers, don't get me wrong; love dancing for them, making them smile, making them laugh. But every club has at least 2 girls min who will do that, and while I couldn't point you in their direction -- as they are quite discrete and I have no idea who they are -- they're there and they'll probably set a price for you. Why get angry and pushy with me when I'm being honest? It's just something I don't understand. Happily, there are few guys who get that ticked off about it, but when they are there, they throw some of the biggest tantrums I have ever seen.

Appreciate your post.
(Note: anything I attribute to you may not be what you would do or think, but how's the customer going to be sure of that?)
1) If you're the guy's favorite, he may not be interested in pursuing extras from others. If you're far and away his favorite, it may even be to where he'd rather have nothing than something from another dancer. And he may think that there's a chance that you've changed your mind.
E.G. while it may be a hard ethical line that you're unwilling to ever cross, maybe he doesn't know that. And maybe if a financial crisis came about, you might be willing to change your mind, maybe even "just this once".
2) Similarly, you say "every club has at least 2 girls min who will do that". Even if you *could* point him to them, what if they aren't his type? While it *is* true that sex is like pizza, in that there's no such thing as bad pizza, I'm not *paying* for it with just anyone.
3) Or for that matter -- and admittedly this is a bit crass -- it can be a lot more fun to get it (whatever "it" is) from the girl who wouldn't than to just get it easily from the dancer who's the revolving door.
4) Less crass, but in a similar vein, just because she does it all the time, the revolving door may suck (no pun intended) at it. And there aren't that many virtual necrophiliacs out there who'd enjoy ITC/OTC with a nearly lifeless woman.
5) I know a few dancers who have said "I don't do that" (whatever "that" was) and it was just because they didn't know me well enough to admit that they *do* do "that". Once they got to know me better, I found out what their true limits were.
6) You said yourself that you used to be judgmental about dancers that gave extras, but not so much anymore. Who's to say that further down the road, you don't change your mind further? I have a feeling that very few dancers walk in on their first day, lay down on the floor, spread their legs, and start selling tickets.
Now me, personally, I'd have to really want a dancer before I'd ask over and over. If I want repeated rejection, I'll go find my ex.
@LeeH:
1. There are a few of those guys who do attend the club regularly and spend money on me. However, as they come in nearly every night and we've already had a discrete convo about it, they know not to press the issue. As far as a financial crisis, if I was ever desperate for money, I wouldn't strip, simply because I don't want to be in a situation where I would even have to consider that. No offense. I'm not desperate or hard-up for money, so saying no (always gently and politely) is very easy for me to do.
2. If they're not his type, I'm not sure what to do? I mean, it's flattering to know I might be his only type, but there's not much I could do in that situation D:
3. I can see how that would work, heh.
4. Again, see #2.
5. After a month of seeing regulars, they know what the limits are.
6. While I've given up judgment, I haven't changed what I'm willing to do. :D If a dancer puts out, it's no longer a hot moral issue for me. I'm just not going to do it.
Thanks for your post :)
2-4. Oh, I'm not saying you should change your mind just because you're his favorite. Now if you're *my* favorite ... ;-)
5. Maybe I don't go often enough, but my experiences of "don't" changing to "do" has usually been over several months.
Recognize how you're different, though. Your take is "I don't do extras, but I'm a stripper". Many others have the take that "I'm a stripper who doesn't do extras." There's a big difference, and the latter's mind will more easily change than yours. And how's the legit customer going to know which camp you fall into?
Some guys who don't go to strip clubs much have an attitude that any stripper will have sex if you offer them enough money. Then again some guys are annoying and persistent. I'm glad I don't have to talk to them like the dancers do. If a customer visits a wanna dance club and he easily attracts a lot of dancers, he might be able to get a feel for which dancers would be willing to bend rules. Every club can be different though.
Please understand that I'm not being crass. You have a code, and you live by it, good for you. Women in strip clubs are sex workers, no two ways about it. Part of your job is putting up with assholes. My company recently put me in a front office position where I deal with hundreds of people everyday. If you think you're the only one who puts up with assholes, think again. I'm applying to other companies to get away from it. If putting up with assholes is too difficult for you, do what I'm doing.
About the last two lines in your discussion, I've spoken of Denise's Rule before but it may be worth repeating here: "God created man with two heads and enough blood to run one at a time". Couple that with a gut full of beer or worse and presto! you've got a customer who may not exercise the best judgment. It is GREAT that you are up front about your limits. No right thinking person could object. And if they aren't thinking at their best, you can't let it bother you. I mean imagine that, a horny drunk at a SC.
So in the words of Tyrone F. - Do you believe in the hereafter? - Then you know what I'm hereafter.
I never usually expect anything like an extra when I walk into a club. But I had a fave one time who was comfortable with me and that sometimes things just happened. One time she was pretty inebriated and she initiated a hot finger-banging and quickly moved into a FS that I had to quickly bail out of because the bouncers were standing and pointing in our direction. I certainly didn't expect it, it just happened, and neither one of us treated it like an extra in that it didn't trigger a big tip and she didn't ask for anything.
And I'm not sure what exactly constitutes an extra. Another time with the fave, we were clicking again and I asked her to insert her finger. She did and then I sucked her finger. It was about a second of hotness but then it just tasted like nail polish, since she always was getting her nails done. That was a little above and beyond the call of duty for her, but again neither one of us treated it like an extra. Is a quick grab inside my pants crossing that extras line? What about a slow sensuous sucking of my nipple while she massaged my package over my clothes? What about a quick tongue swirl around the head of my penis? What about placing her cooch right in front of my face for a 2-second DATY? None of these things meet the definition of conventional extras, but they do make the dance very erotic. And I would usually pad what I paid for the dances to show my appreciation. But there was no discussion, no agreement, no conversation. I'm not trying to prod you into doing anything, I'm just laying some other points out on the table.
I focus primarily on single moms, which makes things a lot easier. The following usually are not great targets for the described reasons:
1. Young, single girls without kids are usually bad targets becasue they still attach a certain amount of importance/esteem to sex and their pussies. However, the mystique is usually long gone for a woman who has squeezed out a kid or two, as is any pretense of chastity.
2. Married strippers are also usually low ROI targets - or at least the ones that admit to being married. ;) Not only is their marital status often an issue for them, but they often have a second income in the house so are undr less pressure to earn.
3. I avoid, like the plague, girls that dance part time but have a F/T day job. Dancing is often just an extra sideline for them so they are much less likely to feel pressure to do naughty things in order to earn the rent money.
Now one could argue with any of these. Hell, I myself have fucked a few single, childless dancers, as well as at least one that had a day job. But in my experience single mothers are, far and away, the best target.
But, of course, I NEVER put pressure on any girl, period. Rather, I always position myself as the nice guy who would like to help, but doesn't really spend much on plain vanilla activities. Her natural pressures will usually do the work for me while I get to remain the good guy. ;)
Think about it this way. There's a fugly stripper on stage -- think of the ugliest one you've ever seen -- and she takes a liking to you, continuing to ask for tips and drinks and VIP dances though you might have made it clear, either through word or gestures, that you're just not the least bit interested.
@sharkhunter: It seems like the majority of customers enter a club expecting something extra, at least where I work. It ranges from anywhere between a very bold "I want to fuck you/can I get some pussy?" when I've only asked for a tip after my stage set to "what can we do in the VIP?" It doesn't offend me, I just say no and move on if that's all they want.
The reason I don't play games when it comes to extras is because number one, it's an asshole thing to do; the guy tipping well and buying dances is the one putting money in the dancer's bank account, and two, I don't want to be in a situation where I've promised something and don't deliver. I've seen guys come roaring out of the VIP area just angry as hell for one reason or another, and I have to imagine it's because some girl promised an extra and fucked him over on it.
@Dudester: I like you and like reading what you have to say. I've worked with assholes in every job I've had; it's just a little different when you're topless and working with assholes. Anyway, the repeated asking is exasperating, but it's not gonna drive me away from my job. I was just wondering if any of you could shed some light on why a patron would want to hear "no" repeatedly, lol.
Hi, Rlionheart. Good post, great quotes. Grin and bear it, eh? :)
@looneylarry: Yes, I figured as much. You guys have perfected what seems like an artform; the average customer is like a drunken thirteen year old boy with the mental capacity of a two year old. As far as extras, I think it's up to the dancer what they may or may not consider an extra. For me, I tell the VIP customers they can touch anywhere except for the private region. I really don't like having my nipples messed with, but if you're not biting (true story) or yanking on them (also true story) I'll tolerate it.
@RickDugan: Appreciate your honesty. I think over 2/3rds of dancers are single moms anyway, or have a deadbeat BF. And what's ROI? /dippus
By "legit customer", I mean:
* Someone who doesn't ask more than once a visit, and as soon as you say "no", he shuts up about it.
* Someone who doesn't think his mad negotiating skillz (or dick size) are gonna change your mind.
I admire your strength of conviction. And I gather that if (God forbid) finances got to be where extras seemed like a good way to solve the problem, you'd figure something ELSE out, even if it meant personal sacrifice or even got out of dancing altogether just to avoid the temptation. Whereas other dancers, who entered the business fully intending not to do extras, may not go to the lengths that you would, if push came to shove.
And I'm not talking about a dancer who just sighs and thinks, "OK, well, if I'm gonna make it, I'm just going to have to boink everything that moves." But rather a dancer who decides that she's gonna "expand her repertoire" to some degree for a very select few. And I have specific evidence that such dancers exist.
Just from the way you express yourself, I think you're pretty hot. ;-) And if I didn't know that the line was inviolate for you, and I was your customer, I'd probably double-check every once in a while.
@looneylarry: Yes, it's a great compliment. I met a TUSCLer once, actually. We sat together for a while he regaled me with really interesting stories of the clubs, worldwide, he'd been to. Lulz at the 'feisty' comment; I get feisty here because I can't get feisty with the customers, though some nights it would be the height of pleasure to stiletto a few of them in the balls. Anyway, moving on: private region for me means the kitty and the exit! I don't like them touched, even through underwear, or toyed with, and I certainly don't like fingers slipped beneath my thong. I'll push your hand away. Gotta keep something off limits, imo. Inner thigh, upper outer thigh, fine.
The "fetish" thing, I must confess, has tapered off a bit, though I prefer black/latex clothing and metal accessories. Now that I've found some good places to purchase -- dancerwear is ridiculously expensive -- I'd like to get back into it. BDSM sub is the image I like to portray, and most guys are intrigued by it because they figure that with my chain and my stage name, *I'd* be the top, but I just demur and say what I'd prefer, and they have to ponder that for a moment.
@LeeH: OIC. My bad! Thanks for clarifying. And yes, if I ever got to the point where I was needing money enough to consider extras, I'd quit, hands down, and find something else to do. It seems the dancers you're describing already have a great degree of trust and familiarity with the customer they decide to have sex with, which is good -- quite a bit safer than the girl who meets up with a perfect stranger -- but I'd personally not prefer to mix my outside life with my job. And it is a job, no matter how pleasurable it is to be on stage! I keep a degree of separation between the two.
awww, you're sweet. :D
Take a hint.
As a female, I wouldn't think you would give an ass such high esteem as to equate him with a douche.
On a sidenote, fetish is one of the few people that actually one upped Dougster in a flame war.
I used to think with time and familiarity, I might find the key to her bedroom, but I'm now fully aware that it ain't gonna happen. She is a very hard working, very talented stripper. More power to her.
