The Downfall of a Stripper

They never tell you what you need to know.
The Downfall of a stripper.

Some of us get to know our strippers on a level so personal we may know more about them than we do of our own children (for those of us that have kids). Gawker and JS69 have told some interesting personal stories but most others have not other than jackslash sharing his dinner menu. Something made me think of my retired ATF the other day and it made me think of her fall from grace to virtually nothing, and I thought I would share how crazy her life has been.

She came from a normal middle class family in a small town in Idaho. After graduating high school she went to a small college on a volleyball scholarship. By Halloween of her freshman year she had become pregnant. Finishing her first semester taking off the spring to have the baby, she left the child with her mom and went back to school the following fall to try again. Once again, getting pregnant, dropping out for good at the end of the semester. 19 with two children, no baby daddy money and no future. Somehow she winds up in Texas, stripping and banging pro athletes (she was that hot even after having two kids). Several boyfriends, a few husbands and next thing you know, she's 30 stripping in Vegas, divorced 4 times, 4 kids now, but 2 of the kids were lost in custody battles and live full time with their dads. Eventually she makes enough money and moves to Arizona commuting on the weekends to Vegas to strip when she needs money. Some weekends she'd clear 5K and wouldn't have to return for a month, other times she'd have to go every weekend for a month just to make rent. Living in a nice 5 bedroom house (just her and 2 of her kids) paying $2,400 a month rent, but no furniture and no car after she totaled her car in an accident. She would fly to Vegas or rent a car when she could afford it, when times were tough she'd take a bus.

About 10 months had gone by since I had last spent time with her, so I asked her to join me for Labor Day weekend in Vegas. She was so proud to be able to pay for her own flight to meet me. I let her pay for it too, since it was a big deal for her. She told me how she started putting her profile on Sugar Daddy sites and started web camming which were two things I didn't even know existed (this was around 2010). She was making good money, enough money she didn't have to go to Vegas anymore and could stay home full time. One year in she got some facial work (botox) done and spent a shit-ton on upgrading her implants to some big fake titties. Her enhancements looked overdone in person, but she looked like a 10 viewing her on a 24 inch computer screen online in the dim light. Guys flooded her cam room, and she placed 2nd, 4th and 6th in consecutive months on her cam site, making as much as $100K in one month. No joke. Like most people who have come upon a financial windfall - going from camming making $50-60K a year to making over $250,000 in 3 months she spent the money like it would never end, paying cash to buy her oldest son and her new cars (not Honda Accords), expensive family vacations all summer taking all of her 4 kids, and more plastic surgery, which ended up making her look like the cat woman more than refining her aging face.

Cam guys are finicky and of course, new girls come everyday taking away slots from her room. 400 guys in her room went down to 40, and to make matters worse, she refused to get nude (not even topless) unless someone payed for private dances with her, further hurting the numbers in her room. Luckily there were a handful of PLs worse than any guy on here sending her every extra penny they had to chat on the phone with her and for private photos and sessions.

Eventually she found another husband, uh or "sucker" and she is now in her mid 40s with 5 children, married 5 times. Her husband is at least a decade younger than her and it's hard to determine which one was conning who, because they both tried to declare bankruptcy as a couple but were denied because they both had declared bankruptcy too many times previously.

She certainly hasn't had an easy life, but I used to always tell her, every time there's a fork in the road, you always turn the wrong way - almost like she's drawn to the wrong path.


Not all strippers are like that. I met one last year who was divorced with no children. She had been stripping for 2 years and also escorted some on the side, had over $200,000 saved up, was going to do it for two to three more years until she had enough money to buy a small house in San Diego, was going to quit escorting a stripping and go back to being an elementary school teacher. She figured if her house was paid for she could afford to live on a teachers salary.

    So many strippers live recklessly and end badly. At least your friend did not become a heroin addict like some strippers I know.

    Interesting story. Thanks for sharing. For every sex worker failure story, I'm sure there are even more failed PL stories. Life can be a real bitch.

    Based on the politically correct, anti-sex worker culture in the US, I used to look down on prostitutes. No more, after entering this hobby. I've seen far more sex workers doing a great job of taking care of themselves, their families and friends, than I've seen get totally messed up. Sex work can be a tough occupation. At least some aspects of the career field are legal. Putting things in perspective, lots of people have tougher jobs.

    I knew who claimed to have made a million dollars during her career. Which I believed. But yeah, spent it like it was water. At the end she was had to get a relative to help her get a loan to buy a car. I met her for lunch once and it was a pretty shitty car at that. But guess, it was fun while it lasted. She won't have had any trouble finding a husband to take care of her. Although that type (possibly self-destructive as you suggest) typically doesn't have good taste in men!

    Sad and depressing but it seems a lot of these girls find a way to survive and soldier thru one episode/drama after another (as long as they don't get seriously messed up on drugs or alcohol) .

    Hopefully there'll be a happy ending to her story when it's all said and done.

    Thank you, abstinence only sex education.

    Someone needs to tell that girl that 200k with no additional income won't buy you a small house in San Diego anymore. Maybe Temecula (exurb an hour away from the city in good traffic).

    I do think sometimes sex workers are undone by their burdens. Kids, parents, semi employed baby daddy. And that's before any sisters or cousins that just need "a little help". Easy to shell out 5k a month and have nothing to show for it in the end.

    ha - good one txtittyfag

    Lloyd didn't steal my password, because even though Lloyd's on a strip club forum, he's the only person here to have never actually visited a strip club.

    shailyn- How much alcohol did you lubricate her with and how much cash did you spend on her to get her to divulge so much information ? That would make an interesting article.

    Those who earn money in quasi-legal and illegal ways (sex workers, gamblers, drug dealers etc.) look at money differently than a working Joe. Its ill gotten money and therefore thrown away like it means little. Money you slave for is held tightly. Just an observation after 35 years of representing people in such businesses.

    Minnow we had a very close relationship for close to 3 years. This all came out from spending weekends in hotels with her in Vegas and late night phone conversations over that time period. She wanted to be Mrs Shailynn. After all she obviously liked to get married and 2 of her ex husbands she met in a strip club.

    Luckily she didn't break me financially. I'd meet her in Vegas on the weekends, pay for her flight (usually only $80-110 round trip) and she'd fuck me all weekend for free since she had a place to stay (my hotel room).

    James, she knew $200k wouldnt cut it. I think she was aiming at $500-600k total after an additional 3 or so years in the strip game. She was telling me in 2 weeks she cleared $20k during March Madness, even she was shocked.

    Only bad part is not sure if she has 3 years left as a top earner. She said she was 30 (she looked more like late 30s) and had major anxiety issues, those two issues could hurt her earnings.

    It's a bad habit, but I get envious of how much strippers/prostitutes/can girls are able to earn. From my perspective, it sure looks like an easy way to a make a ton of money that you would otherwise need a lot of experience and education to get.

    @shailynn you are lucky you didn't get sucked into that black hole sounds like she liked you and you liked her as well.

    For people who think sex work is so easy you know you can give at a try and find out for yourself. If you want to be a male stripper you just need to spend some hours every week in the gym to buff yourself up. Besides stripping I am sure you can spend your time hanging out with old women who can't even remember the last time they had their period. How about giving fat faggots hand jobs. That's all pretty easy... Isn't it?
