Aside from the obvious ones (alcohol and Viagra), have you ever used drugs to attempt to enhance your stripclub and lapdance experiences?
I have read and heard stories from dancers, mostly about them medicating themselves but occasionally stories about the guy who, say, snorted coke before getting lapdances in the VIP room or the fellow who was obviously high on something (maybe ecstacy) while getting dances.
FONDL's insights reminds of rumors I heard years ago about the Detroit club scene. Dancers are fed free cocaine until the addiction kicks in and then the punks or managers start charging, adding to the dancer's financial burderns. When a club gets known for this, it gets raided for high mileage and improper contact as a LE tactic to get a cut of the drug money.
I've never done illegal substances for one simple reason, they're illegal and I'm perfectly content with alcohol. I've been told by several different girls that drug use among strippers is pretty common. I believe that to be true. I also think that a lot of customers are small-time dealers and are supplying many of the girls in the club. I think that's a main reason why so many girls hang out with the punks, they get free drugs.
I have personally never done anything illegal. I have known people who smoked pot and I had a lapdance from a dancer who had just smoked pot once. I personally think a couple dancers at my favorite club have to be on meth, but that could just be me.
Maybe she was disecting frogs on her last break.
I went to the VIP with a dancer new to the club. She told me the first time she went to the VIP the guy she was with did a few lines of coke and then had her dance from him.
I haven't done drugs ever. My last experience with a dancer doing drugs was one giving me dances in a club a month ago. I smelled formaldehyde when she got close to me; formaldehyde not being a scent common to me, I Googled formaldehyde and discovered that it might be a tell-tale sign of ecstacy or PCP use.
I have heard that at least 1/3 of the dancers on the floor in any club are high on cocaine. Weed is even more common, but not in the club because of the smell.
I think we've all seen the result of guys who smoked crack before posting on this board.
One aspect of this issue that is often overlooked is that an awful lot of young women, including dancers, abuse drugs that are legal. Diet pills are a good example. These can mess someone up just as bad as many of the illegal drugs do.
