Three questions
DocErotica
I'm interested in what experienced strip club patrons might have to say about these three questions:
1. True or false: in a given club where mileage varies, the hottest dancers (by looks) tend to be, on average, lower mileage than the less attractive ones.
2. When haggling with a dancer over a price for a potential private dance or private room engagement, do you also negotiate the specifics of how much touching will be permitted or what extras will be provided?
3. Assuming that the dancer you find yourself with in a private room is hot, which is your higher priority: touching her or being touched by her? Which is more difficult and/or expensive to get from a dancer in a private room setting: fingering her pussy until she cums or getting a HJ or BJ?

I think an interesting topic for this board would be to set out as a group to learn more about the values, priorities, and motivations of guys who frequent strip clubs, using the participants of this board as a not-necessarily-random sample. We could all learn a bit about the thinking of a range of guys who enjoy strippers. I'm not sure whether such a self-study is feasible, however, because of the high level of "bashing" behavior that is evident in so many of the other threads that I briefly examined. I haven't paid much attention to which posters in particular are responsible, but it isn't pretty and it probably limits the variety of people willing to participate in this forum. For a study of "who we are" and "what we think about strip clubs" to be interesting and meaningful, there would need to be a moratorium on old grudges and an increase in tolerance for differences in viewpoint. Otherwise, the sampling of opinions would be excessively skewed toward the dominant viewpoint, as those with minority views get skewered and driven away. Honesty is only possible if the entire group can be reasonably non-judgmental.
If the conditions of discussion were appropriate, there would be many interesting questions that could be posed. Just for starters, one could ask board participants whether they view themselves as pro-feminism or anti-feminism. It would be interesting to know how strip club patrons feel about or view women apart from the sexual and physical aspect. Are strip club patrons more likely to be men who also admire women by personality, intellect, or emotions, or does their interest in the women's physical qualities tend to close off any broader interest the her? It would be interesting to find out whether strip club patrons are more or less tolerant of sexual preference alternatives compared to the general population of men. It would be interesting to know what fraction of participants prefer A-cup, B-cup, C-cup, D-cup, or larger. How many of us prefer women with small, tight pelvises versus a broader, more distinctly feminine build? Those kinds of discovery issues could only be approached in a meaningful way if participants felt that their particular viewpoint would not be subject to ridicule. This particular thread has been very constructive but it looks to me to be more the exception than the rule. What do you think?

I personally don't see any magic boundary between what goes on in strip clubs and prostitution. I see instead an unbroken continuum of possibilities. I also don't oppose legal prostitution, except to the extent that some specific instances involve exploitation of troubled women.
As far as prostitution goes, I don't see a problem with it being legalized. It could then be regulated and everyone could get tested for sexual diseases and it might become safer for everyone if the spread of sexual diseases decreased. Instead of making things safer in this country, the public just wants everything hidden. I guess many might feel threatened if prostitutes were legally working in their home state. I believe senators, congressmen, and all the family and religious folks feel better letting people die or suffer rather than promote safer and legal alternatives. I guess it's like watching the situation in the middle east. In my opinion, most people in the US are not in a big uproar about the hundreds of people getting killed and injured. They may be innocent and the people in the US might be able to stop it by complaining to congress and the president but I don't see too many complaints.
One of the clubs I go to offers private dancers for $20. They take place in a rather public area where there are usually two to four dancer/patron pairs operating simultaneously. There is no touching whatsoever except when the dancer brushes up against the patron. Any deviation from those rules would be easily noticed by the other girls and patrons, and possibly by a bouncer. Under such circumstances and for the modest price of $20, I'm happy to take whatever the dancer offers and let it be so.
That same club offers a Champagne Room experience, with typically costs $400-$600. The official rules still prohibit touching, but most of the girls offer a little and a few offer a lot. Even if the girl is willing, the extent of touching is constrained by the nearby presence of a supervisor, who paces the hall immediately outside the cubicles and interrupts if touching becomes too obvious. Realistically, the most that could be accomplished under such circumstances is dick-stroking through the pants, some breast contact, or some pussy fingering. It is relatively easy for the dancer to position herself on her hands and knees across the patron's lap with her pussy away from the viewpoint of the monitor. The monitor can then not easily distinguish mere looking from discrete touching of the pussy.
When I previously mentioned negotiating contact in advance, I was talking expressly about the Champagne Room situation. I, for one, have no interest in paying $400+ for air dancing but am willing to pay that kind of money for intimate touching. If a girl approaches me with an invitation to the Champagne Room, what are my options? One option is to simply decline on the assumption that she's going to abide by the rules and offer only air or non-intimate touching. Why would I pay $400 for such activities when I could use that same $400 to purchase 20 private dances downstairs if I were so inclined? A second option is to accept her invitation without any further discussion and then end up feeling ripped off when nothing extra is provided. The third option is to discuss in advance with the lady what she will and will not allow in the way of touching. I don't recommend negotiating specifics for lap dances or $20 private dances, but I do recommend doing so for any arrangements in a price range of $100 or more. I, for one, can't afford numerous $400 adventures waiting to find that one spontaneously generous dancer.
Another club that I go to offers $2-5 lap dances and $10-20 floor dances but no private room activities. Touching of breasts and most other body parts is both allowed and encouraged for the lap dances and floor dances, but pussy touching is prohibited. Most of the girls provide intimate pussy views as part of the dances. Since the dances are performed in a very open area with numerous on-lookers, including a bouncer, it is not feasible to deviate from the touching restrictions, even if the dancer were willing. So, in this situation, there is virtually nothing that could be negotiated, other than possibly OTC activities for a later time. The girls have little discretion. The only slight "extra" I was able to purchase on one occasion was to hand a particularly lovely and friendly dancer $30 instead of the usual $20 for a floor dance and then to ask her to give me the most in the way of pussy views that she felt comfortable displaying. She obliged very nicely.
To sum up, then, I do NOT advocate negotiated when (a) there is nothing that can be realistically negotiated because the rules are firm and the dancer has little discretion; or (b) for relatively low priced standard lap dances or air dances. I do advocate negotiating contact for high priced, private room interactions, so as to protect yourself from expensive disappointments. The only other possibilities for me are to routinely refuse to purchase the more expensive options at variable-mileage clubs or to search out higher-mileage clubs.
Doc: I don't care about privacy and I'm not interested in actual sex in a strip club. It would only interefere with my strip club experience, and I'd rather get it in other ways where I can enjoy it better. I like strip clubs for all the thrills they offer that you can't get anywhere else: lap dances, stage tipping, hanging out with half naked young girls playing the role of nymphomaniacs, choosing from among a roomful of girls who all act like there's nothing they want more than a chance to give me pleasure. You can't get those things at a regular bar, on a date, with an escort or at a whorehouse. If anyone knows otherwise, please correct me.
I don't mind that extras are available in strip clubs. The possiblity that anything could happen adds excitement. I don't give much thought to what crosses the line into prostitution. It seems pretty hard to argue that lap dancing isn't a form of prostitution, even though it isn't legally treated as that in most places. If it isn't prostitution, then it's not a good lap dance.
I'd agree, that "what crosses the line" is silly to argue. Many girls will say, "I ain't a prostitute!" and "I ain't no HO!" with great indignance; then get naked on your lap, reach a hand into your shorts, and jerk your willy until you finish. I think for these innocents, they're more worried about the word than the deed (which is, of course, the definition of prudish hypocrisy, but that's a different issue).
In the long run, "sexual services" include the girl at the cigar counter who leans over to let you ogle her tits, and then smiles at you knowingly and conspiratorially as though you and she might get it on later in the evening, while accepting $50 for three sticks of tobacco. She'll do the same with every bald bespectacled fat slob smelling of candy-flavored Doc Owls who comes in that day; and the store owner is no fool to put her at the front register.
It's probably cheaper to get your sex for pay than for free, as they say. For me it's the only option most of the time, so there's no comparison.
Oh, and Chandler, when I find out how to get yound women to traipse about half-naked playing the role of nymphomaniac toward me when I'm not in a strip club, why ON EARTH would I let you in on the secret? I'm not tellin' ANYONE except ... other hot girlies. My harem, thank you.
Looks dont really matter as some of the hottest girls are somewhat prudish to the mileage, while some of the 5-7's are real handy.
Guys one note if you come to NJ and go VIP in Linden, it's dry club as I've mentioned, the service here quite satisfactory. Lexi has excellent hand service. Some of the dancers beg for tips and others accept just the cost of the dances.
At this club stay away from Amber...a big girl overweight and very easy to get what ever you want.
So Doc if you come to Jersey here is one outlook.
So far, I've found my strip club experiences both exhilarating and frustrating. One always wants more. I have two different home states and have yet to explore the world of strip clubs in one of the two. Judging from the listings and reviews at this website, I anticipate a wide variety of options there. It's not especially important whether one dancer or even one club's entire corps of dancers decides I'm a pathetic loser, provided I'm able ultimately to find at least one pleasant club where I fit in nicely and can get the kind of interactions I desire. I like to take a few interpersonal risks now and then, hoping for the best, rather than just playing it safe.
I don't really have in mind establishing a dating relationship with the dancer that I mentioned in the last post. I was thinking more in terms of a one-time, lets-get-to-know-one-another occasion that would serve to add another level of enjoyment to the pay-for-touching relationship that we now have. Like another poster stated, my ultimate desire in relating with any stripper or dancer who appeals to me is the highest degree of genuine intimacy that she will allow. I don't count bases but I do care about how much real contact is established, physical and emotional.
When I am getting a VIP dance I sit quietly with my hand on my knees. I make no effort to ask about touching etc. Nearly always the girl will place her hands over mine, and I try to GENTLY interlock her fingers. If she places them on her breasts etc. touching is okay and encouraged. After a while I put my hands back on my knees. If she grinds her kitty into my hand then touching the kitty is okay as well. IF she keeps it up, I will try to slip the g-string aside with the back of my finger. You would be suprised how many girls encourage this until they get off.
It does help to be VERY clean, dressed well and smell good.
The poster needs to be honest with himself and clear about his intentions with the stripper.
If he wants to date her he needs to stop being her customer. If he wants to be her customer he has to realize he has a snowball's chance in hell of dating her if he remains a customer for long (one visit will cut your chances in half, after about 3 you are pretty much SOL.)
Unlike other posters on this board, I assert there is nothing wrong with wanting to date strippers. But if you want to do so then don't be their customer. If you want to know their "true selves" they are very unlikely to reveal it if you are paying them money. You'll have to get out of the customer frame in order to see that.
If you want to try and mix "customer" and "paid for dating" fine, just realizes that as much you will start to feel otherwise your chance of it turning to real dating are effectively zero.
If you want anything more than being just a customer, paying for conversation isn't going to do it. The restaurant offer is fine - but don't pay for time. That will send up a signal that you are a PL.
It sounds as though the club you have been going to just is not going to give you what you want. If that is typical of clubs in your area (if, for example, you are interned in Omaha, Madison WI, or some similar place), then your only alternative may be to become an "on the road" hobbiest. Not the best state of affairs, but it beats anything that Charles Kuralt came up with.
Emotional involvement is good. I'm not sure what you're referring to about avoiding it. I'd say don't try to avoid it because you can't. Just be careful about losing your head and your money expecting it to be returned.
A few weeks ago, I tried to arrange some private time with my favorite dancer in the local club. She is a small, tight-framed blond with the build of an Olympic gymnast (female, that is), an adorable face, and a sparkling personality to boot. We were already on speaking terms, so I told her I was looking for a full touch arrangement – me touching her. In this particular club, it's pretty much out of the realm of possibility for a guy to get off anyway, unless you go OTC. The private rooms are anything but private. They are merely high-backed booths. Moreover, the equivalent of the dorm mother prowls about outside. The official rules of the club are no touching whatsoever, even in the highly expensive private rooms and the monitor comes in to remind you if she sees any significant contact. Such circumstances just wouldn't work for me no matter how valiant the gal's effort.
The lovely dancer's response was that she'd have to get $1000 for that but for $500 I could touch her except for her pussy and asshole. I've forgotten what she said about breasts at the $500 level. I said I could pay her $500, but it would have to be full touch privileges. She then declared that it was against her principles and gave me the song and dance about saving something for the guy at home. I was tempted to remind her that it had not been against her "principles" at $1000, but only at $500, but I decided to forgo the point in the hopes that something might develop with her later. Keep in mind that in offering her $500, I would have been incurring a total cost over $700 because this club collects $220 minimum just for use of the booth for an hour. Some of you may now have doubts about my sanity, offering that much for touch privileges only, but this particular gal was so hot by my particular tastes that I know I would have regretted not offering that much for the rest of my life. A thousand, however, was out of my price range, especially since the room monitor might have prevented me from getting my money's worth.
I especially appreciate the advice that one of you offered about avoiding signs of emotional involvement. I think that my tendency is to want emotional involvement and to show that desire. In an ideal world, I'd like to have emotional involvement with the dancer to the point of warmth and perhaps, given time, friendship. I'm not looking to fall in love with the girl, however. I can see now that any such overtures of emotional attachment, even at the stage of friendship, could be problematic for the gal. One club that I go to offers only lap dances and floor dances, so the most consecutive time you can purchase with one of the dancers is two songs, which is precious little time to make any kind of personal connection. Then she moves on immediately to other patrons. I'm particularly fond of one of the dancers and was thinking about asking her if she'd like to go out to an excellent restaurant on one of her nights off. I'd not only pay for her dinner and drinks, but her time as well, if the price was reasonable, and all I'd ask for was conversation. I'd love to get a better idea of what she's truly like as a person. Then, later, when we were back at the club, I'd enjoy touching her all the more. Would a restaurant offer of that type be crazy? What do you think?
1. I'd be willing to bet that few of us here ever buy dances from the fuglies in a club where there are hot girls present. I know that I never do. So none of us knows the answer to this question, we're all just guessing.
2. I completely agree with Chitown. It's not a good practice for a lot of reasons.
3. I also agree with Chitown about girls usually being more comfortable touching you than the other way around, because for you to touch them seems a lot more intimate. Which is why I like it.
2. No. I avoid strippers who put conditions on contact.
3. N/A. My priority is enjoying the girl and the dance. Specifics aren't important.
I also agree with FONDL's earlier comments about control. I quit worrying about getting to third base in high school.
Question 2 has also been discussed a little, at least the part about negotiating price, and it turns out that many of us often don't negotiate at all, but that seems to depend on where we are. As for part two of the question, I'd never attempt to negotiate contact in advance, that's something most girls won't do, but I do ask a girl what her rules are in advance. Just be aware that many girls will lead you to believe that they are willing to do a lot more than they will actually do. And how much they do will to some extent depends on how you treat them and how well you know them - a regular customer will sometimes get a lot more than someone who they don't know.
Question 3 - personally I'm more interested in doing the touching although I like both. Part 2 doesn't apply to me, I don't generally do any of those things. And I think you'll find that the guys here who do don't usually pay extra for it. And how easy it is to get something vs. something else varies greatly from girl to girl so it's hard to generalize.
Sounds to me like you're too hung up on specifics, you need to relax and just go with the flow. Every encounter is different and you can't predict or control what's going to happen. Stop trying to control the outcome and you'll have more fun.
2. I don't haggle. Even if I did, I wouldn't haggle over contact. You are treading too closely to prostitution, or at least a situation that could get you kicked out of the club. In addition, there is no point in arguing over something that is probably unenforceable anyway, unless you find tha the process has some ientertainment value for you.
3. My observation: The dancer is more comfortable with contact with your naughty bits than with hers. With respect to contact with your naughty bits, she wants the contact that will involve the least exposure to your splooge. WIth respect to contact with her naughty bits, she is looking for the form that involves as little appearance/i,pression of emotional intimacy as possible (some dancers who are married or have serious boyfriends justify not kissing the customers on the basis that at least they are saving _Something_ for the boy back at home). So, the hierarchy would be:
Rubbing your crotch through your pants.
HJ
BJ
You fingering her
You eating her
FS
French kissing.
I would rather be touched than touch the stripper.
