Experiences outside the US

The typical Strip Club experience in the US, a strip show with lapdances and VIP (in some clubs, with extras) is rarely found outside the US. In my experience (plus doing some research at TUSCL), here are some categories found elsewhere. The list of places is simply a sample, not an exhaustive list. These are the most typical approaches in each country, but there are of course exceptions. I am interested in what others have experienced.

But I think this conversation is more useful with prices for the services. USA is certainly the most expensive.
@rh: yep... where do you think all the puritans ended up when they fled Europe?
1. The influence of a conservative religion (Christianity and Islam) on the culture.
2. Average income
The US rates relatively high in these areas. Off hand, I suspect Italy, Ireland, and Saudi Arabia would be lower rated for P4P. There are probably others. One of the reasons that Thailand became known for P4P is a non-judgemental religion (Buddhism) and an extremely low average income. In recent years, average income in Thailand has doubled while a backlash against farang (foreigners) has put a stigma on the sex industry.
Yeah I got that too. It's a valid point that is made. Think about this, nudity is still taboo on regular cable TV. That's usually not the case in a lot of other countries. Although here in the USA violence is much more tolerable on TV when compared to other countries.
And we here at the GOP want to keep it that way. You can have your assault weapons and violent shows but we know if you touch or see a titty you'll go crazy and shoot up the club. At least we share those beliefs with the middle eastern states.
A dive. Walk in, leave.
Typical SC with sex easy to obtain. Walk in, watch show, get propositioned. I found an interesting thing I wish my local clubs would introduce. Interpreters that accompany or could be summoned by the dancers.
Might have been a show, but got captured at the door and directly to the backrooms. Again, an interpreter.
