First SC visit was shortly after turning 21 (years not months :)) - my 24 y/o buddy whom had already experienced the SC scene took me sorta to celebrate me turning legal - the club was Deans Gold in North Miami which went by Solid Gold back then - was in awe on my first visit (it was an upscsle club with lots of beautiful women & this was back in 1991) - couldn't wait to go again and went a week or 2 later - dances back then AFAIK were no-touch on the floor (dancer would stand on a little stand she would take w/ her from table to table - I mostly sat stage-side gawking and barely-tipping LOL (no dinero) - I only recall getting one table-dance in my 2 first visits that my friend paid for (girl danced b/w us & I don't recall how much the dance was), IDK if there were 2-way contact lap-dances available - seeing that it took $$$ to have fun in strip-clubs & I didn't have much of it, and that you couldn't touch the dancers (to the best of my knowledge back then) , I subsequently did not become a SCer & only went to SCs a handful of times in my 20s (back then I kept busy w/ school, work, and hanging w/ friends who were all single back then).
At 30 (2000) I moved to Dallas & one night soon after moving there was driving around & ran into Baby Dolls Dallas by accident just cruising around getting to know the city - the parking- lot was packed and I saw the big sign saying Baby Dolls and thought to myself "hmm, that looks interesting" - made a mental note of the location and came to check it out a week later on a weekend night & the rest was history - Baby Dolls was a very fun club w/ a great vibe & about 70 dancers on a weekend night and lots of beautiful women looking to make that $$$ - club being so well known nationally I met dancers from many different states & even some hot Canadian & Eastern Euro dancers - Baby Dolls being a super fun place, me being in a new city where I didn't know anyone, & making very good $$$ at the time, I thus became a regular SCer (that old Baby Dolls location also had 2 other SCs in the same parking-lot which I thought was amazing) .
Currently 46, & as HungryGiraffe mentioned, I see myself SCing as long as I have the funds & health to do it - but every now & then the thought enters my mind of getting a GF & not SCing anymore but I don't see that happening in the immediate future.
