How dark do you want a strip club to be?

I want it to be as brightly lit as possible.

Dark enough that the bouncers can't see what's going on... but light enough that I can see what I'm enjoying :)

Doverman, my thoughts exactly.

One situation when I've wished it weren't so dark: In an already dark room, I hook up with a hot stripper who leads me to a dark corner for a lap. So there I am, sitting in the corner with this featureless silhouette in front of me. I can feel her, and I know she's hot from having seen her a minute earlier, buy now that it counts I can't get any visual stimulation to go along with the tactile stimulation.

I like the main dance area to be somewhat well lit but my eyes are a bit sensitive to the light already so no bright flashing lights shining on the crowd. I don't like getting blinded by the light. In the back dance rooms, it's too dark if you can't even see what denomination your money is. In the back semi private dance area, I get suspicious someone has their hidden cameras turned on if there is a particularly bright light bulb in one or two areas. I like it bright enough to see the dancer in front of me but it doesn't have to be so bright that I can see all the dancers in all of the dance room. If a dancer looks hot though, turn the lights on.

The dancers like it dark enough so you cant see the stretch marks.

Some of the appeal, even in a lapdance, is visual for me. Dark enough so that others can't see what I'm doing, light enough so that I can.

I agree, the darker the better. I do VIP with a girl in a club near Boston. As soon as the waitress leaves after pouring the champagne my girl climbs up on a chair and unscrews two out of the three light bulbs in the room. The first time she did this I knew I had made the right decision taking her to VIP.

Agreed. I want a club as dark as my soul. So, you know, real dark.
