The Fundamental Problem With Strippers
Monday, January 3, 2005 7:09 AM
I beleive that the fundamental problem with strippers is that they have weak superegos. This is what makes them willing to operate at the boundary (and sometimes beyond) of the sexual norms of our society. It's what the strip club veteran is looking for. But the weak superego is a two-edged sword: With it comes a lack of qualms with regard to lying, stealing, and scamming. This is justified externally (and possibly internally) via various lame rationalizations: eg outright lying is ok when you are doing it to make money to support your family.
This is the fundamental dilemna that the strip club patron faces.
