How to Strip...Sober

I liked this stripper story. It seemed gritty and real.

"On my way out, I think about the coke in my purse and what it delivers: tingling teeth and the vacant, watery-eyed emotional distance. Vague horniness. No appetite. Coke wasn’t my thing, meth was, but I realize that for some girls, numbness is key to excelling here. Stripping is not only physically taxing but requires a knack for seducing and mauling strangers—ingesting their hostile sadness and offering kindness and boobs."
