In a recent discussion, shadowcat commented, "Actually I never sit in pervert row." This got me thinking about the phrase "pervert row", meaning the row of seats right beside the stage at a strip club. "Pervert row" seems to me unnecessarily pejorative, and it is hurtful to those of us who prefer this seating area.
At a basketball game, the best seats are courtside. At a boxing match, the best seats are ringside. At a strip club, it seems to me, the best seats are stage-side (or maybe we should call it pole-side or stripper-side). You have the best view of the dancers, you can easily tip them, and you talk with them before they leave the stage. The dancers may rub their boobs on your face or flash the kitty (in topless only clubs).
Does anyone know why this stage-side seating is called "pervert row"?
What pros and cons do you see in sitting in pervert row vs other places in the club?
Got something to say?
