Strip Clubs in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWor

I hope our hard earned tax dollars weren't spent on this shit.

Nope, private market research company. $925 to buy the report. Capitalism at its finest.

There is a solid demand for services at strip clubs but they face competition from pornography and escort services, as well as risks from public opposition. What an incredibly insightful and in-depth analysis. Definitely worth $925.

I love strip clubs – may they live on and prosper

“… IBISWorld expects overall Strip Clubs industry revenue to increase during the next five years, thanks to renewed consumer spending and pent-up demand …”

Yes – there seems to plenty of “pent-up demand” that strip clubs are ideally suite to address

Once upon a time, you had to go to strip clubs for this kind of entertainment. Sex is now mainstream. Why go to a strip club and pay $400 and not even know if you are going to get laid when you can bang an escort for less? If you just want to see nudity, go on the internet and see it for free. I go to nightclubs and bars where women wear as little as strippers and do as much for a couple drinks.

^ We all have our different preferences so I don’t think it’s that cut and dry.

For one; probably most PLs that go to strip clubs don’t go for FS – for many, strip clubs offer a great way to get away - you have music; lighting; alcohol; and beautiful women walking around nude – it’s a great place to just kick back and get away from it all for a couple of hours.

w.r.t. bars/dance-clubs – it’s different – the women are not naked (dressed sexy yes – but not showing bare tits; ass; and cuchie) and you better have game and/or looks in order to get some play from these chicks many of which often times have a defensive attitude about being hit-on in a bar/club (especially the hot ones) – whereas in a strip club you can have a beautiful naked women all over you or even fucking you within 5 minutes or less of meeting her – and in a SC one often gets to choose whereas in a bar/club the female is the one that chooses.

w.r.t. escorts – sure – if one just wants a fuck and no entertainment – probably the way to go – but for me I get a lot more by being in a strip club full of beautiful naked women for an hour or 2 and getting super turned-on; and then going at it with a willing dancer.

But in the end – as with everything else – comes down to one’s personal preference.

Papi pretty much nailed it with his analysis.

Back in the early days with no WWW and when porn was only available in theaters stripclubs probably attracted many customers who now use the Net -- webcams -- or use escort services.

With the blossoming of social media a new generation of users often are MORE comfortable with 'virtual' contact than face-to-face contact.

But as Papi says many guys [count me among them] still prefer live, in person contact over 'virtual' reality.
