Cool article. I fall into a category related to a The User-The Sampler. I don't use nor abuse. I sample.

#5. The horny bastard.

#6. The player

After reading the full article, I'm pretty sure she didn't mean that all guys who take strippers OTC fall into one of those categories, in fact she explicitly says that at the end, but that of guys who want to "date", in the common American sense of the word, these four types are the most likely to leave a stripper with a bad taste in her mouth.

Simple OTC pay for play is a separate set of guys, I think.

The author of that article used to post here periodically. I wish she would again.

XXTRA KRISPAY!

I'm with george, confused as to what we're talking about here. Are we talking about guys who get involved with dancers?

Submissive dancers seem the most likely to date customers. Dominant guys tend to go to strip clubs, since most strippers are willing to play-act submissiveness up to a point. But sometimes they find themselves a real submissive.

Most dancers see involvement with a custy as a huge longshot, generally not worth bothering with. A few might be down with a (free) hook-up with a custy.

Good read!

I think a lot of us might not fall into a particular category.

• I know I'm not The User.

• I'm not The Crusader because I have no qualms about stripping and think it's a great way for open-minded women who can separate sex and sexuality from love and other parts of life to make money. I'm not trying to get anyone out of the biz. Kinda wish more women were in it.

• I'm probably close to The Married Guy, though I'm not yet married or even engaged. But the only issue I have with my SO is that she despises the fact I may occasionally see other women as attractive, too. Other than that, she's awesome. I will often say I have one and won't cut her down.

• I'm kind of The Midlife Crisis Guy, too, but I'm more than OK with strippers having regular-woman problems. I kind of like the reality.

Thing is here, there's this assumption with the article that guys are seeking something lasting. Nope. I want something NSA. Passing ships in the night. I want to dabble. You enjoy, I enjoy, we go our separate ways.

Again, in the age of birth control ... I've never quite understood why women are afraid of one-night stands as long as it's clear up-front that's all both of you want. To me, they sound pretty freakin' awesome. Heck, I'd even be game for breakfast in the morning. As long as I can go back to my life and you can go back to yours.

When will we finally be able to fully separate lust & sex from love? (Specifically, women.)

#9 The Married Gay Woman - but forget the Friday Night bullshit. I grab 'n go on my lunch hour.

I didn't bother reading the article since I am sure my ultra-minority category would not be included.

My midlife crisis is entering its 31st year. No time nor desire for long term, boring, expensive, restrictive, (add adjective here), relationship.

Me too....married mid-life crisis guy looking for nothing more than a good lapper or that once in a million chance at a nice bj.

Last year my mid-life crisis had a mid-life crisis
