Remember when Nightline called Portland 'Pornland?'

Detroit strip clubs
"Portland became so famous for its strip clubs, that back in 2010 ABC's 'Nightline' dubbed the city 'Pornland.' For strip club enthusiasts that's a badge of honor, for others it's a source of shame."

I've never been to Portland. Is the strip club scene really that good?

I’m from Seattle. Compared to here, it’s strip club paradise. There are many. Once at casa D I saw 2 hot girls on stage going at it pussy to pussy with a 2’ double dildo.

However, most clubs have cameras everywhere. I’ve never gotten extras. Lots of OTC offers though.

A local pooner can provide better intel.

The dancers area bunch of disgruntled hippies in Portland. First of all there is so much complacency due to competition that you’ll have a hard time getting one with any hustle, they can’t even fake it long enough to believe they’re interested in dancing for you. Secondly, the dance prices are outrageous for a low contact, almost an air dance. Finally, I’ve akways gotten the huge upsell to private rooms with promise of fun, but unless you know the girl the only one having fun is the dancer planning on spending your money after you’ve been ROBbed.

If anything good can be said about Portland strip Club scene is that there are several you can walk to staying downtown, and some serve really decent craft beer and the food scene is adequate. The dancing is average at best, below average for your money.

Portland has far more strip clubs than any other city that I’ve been to. But they are mostly small neighborhood bar type places. Almost all are nude. Mileage tends to be good, ITC extras are rare but can happen. Strippers there are required to cover at least 40% of their bodies in tats. Piercings are not required but are strongly encouraged. And this remains the only city where I’ve seen plugs up a woman’s ass.

In conclusion, it can be fun and it’s better than a lot of places, but it ain’t Detroit.

++ Meat72. He nailed it. I travel to Portland a lot and have basically stopped going to clubs there. The other thing of note, is that the dancers here are even more tattooed than the already overly tattooed rest of the country. Since I've added customers in Detroit, it gets harder and harder for me to go to clubs in other cities. Did have an OTC girl there in 2015. She was alright but is now retired.

I live in Portland and have clubbed extensively here as well as Phoenix, the Bay Area, Albuquerque, Sacramento, and Nashville. And to me it is a close second to Phoenix in terms of a good city for mongering.

Pros
- High number and variety of clubs. You can visit any type of club from the traditional gentlemen's club down to a dive bar with a pole. And the hustle varies as well. Some clubs have high hustle and some are low key with a chill atmosphere.
- High variety of dancers. You can get them all in this town.
- Mileage is over average. No matter what club you go to, there will always be dancers that give great mileage in this town.
- OTC is a viable option. Since extras are more rare, there are a lot of stripper/escorts here that simply use stripping to advertise for OTC.


Cons
- You gotta be a local to know what clubs to visit. The "hot" clubs vary a lot because of all the competition. I've seen clubs go from jam packed full of hot strippers and a lot of customers to ghost towns with 6s or less. But the other day I was in a dive club with just four strippers that were all 8s. I don't know of any city where the dives are full of hotties like Portland.
- ITC extras are rare. It can happen here but in general strippers would rather just allow a lot of mileage ITC and take everything else OTC if she is an extras stripper.
- Too many tattooed and lesbian strippers. Although there are strippers of all types here, there are simply a lot of them with too many tattoos and that just don't like men IRL. The 'girl next door' type is rare.

I enjoy Portland clubs, but I am not an extras-seeker and do not mind tattoos. I prefer mid-tier clubs and dive bars to those super upscale places where strippers wear evening gowns on the floor.

We have people on this board from there, even dancers.

FS clubs are there.

So I'm taking a wild guess that the way many of the girls of Portland clubs are as characterized in this thread ( i.e. entitled disgruntled hippies etc working primarily extras-free clubs) Portland might be ground zero or Mecca for a sizeable contingent of Stripperweb girls. Am I off base here ?

^ @H_G_R I'm sure there are some of that type here, seen it myself, but honestly there is just as much as the opposite type too. Low hustle and just chill strippers that will simply hang out when times are slow.

The thing about Portland clubs is variety and diversity. There's a club and stripper for every type of PL here. And most of the guys drawing the stereotype and characterization you mentioned are not from here. They only see a limited view of Portland clubs and strippers. To understand and learn the Portland scene you do have to know the clubs and go to a variety of them. You can't just make some conclusions on a few visits to Casa Diablo or Club Rouge and assume the rest of the clubs and strippers are like that. To me the secret is knowing the good smaller 'neighborhood'/dive type clubs.

Lots of clubs. Most are dives. Lots of dancers. something for everyone's taste. As SirLDalot says, not great for in club extras, but it can happen. Lots of clubs have cameras in the lapdance area and I have no interest in being a pornstar. Worst thing about it is lap dance prices have doubled in the last few years. Instead of $20 all nude, in many clubs its $30 topless, no touch, or $40 / 3 for $100 nude. So even though we're talking a dive bar with cameras and little to no chance of "being satisfied" ladies are sporting a case of GPS. Fuck you Johnny Diablo.

@crotcrocket Fuck Johnny Diablo with the butt plugs his stripper's wear with his fucking $40 dances!

Luckily there are still many smaller dives that only charge $25 for fully nude good mileage dances. And there's a good chance it will be with an 8+. Portland dives is where it's at!
