Remember when ...
FONDL
... most of the strippers looked and acted like worn-out whores?
... you'd get thrown out for touching?
... the only gentlemen's clubs were places like Playboy Clubs or Gaslight Clubs that didn't have strippers?
... Playboy Bunny costumes were considered risque?
... some upscale restaurants had lunch-time fashion shows featuring models in lingerie?
... topless car washes were the rage?
... TV screens were round? (I know it's not related but I couldn't resist)
... a computer filled a room? (ditto)
... local fairs had kissing booths featuring attractive high-school girls selling kisses? (I'm really going back for that one but can you imagine that today?)

Great post.
But there's a difference. Many downtown clubs (and clubs near airports) cater to traveling businessmen, while the rest cater mostly to locals. So they can be quite different. The downtown clubs used to be small seedy places, now a lot of them are big glitzy GCs.
. most of the strip clubs were located together in a seedy section of downtown,
... you'd get thrown out for touching.
Of course I also remember being able to go to nude clubs and there wasn't any problem with girls spreading not just their legs but their lips as well. I don't know why nude clubs in my area don't seem to allow that anymore. Maybe it's not the law but the dancers stopped doing that years ago.
Speaking of risque dancing, remember when Elvis' gyrations were considered to be too explicit to be shown on the Ed Sullivan show (he was only shown from the waist up)?
Remember when you drove for hours to see Bridget Bardot naked in "And God Created Woman"? And she was only shown from the back sunbathing naked while lying on her belly and it was still the sexiest thing you ever saw?
What I want to see, hear, experience, is a girl right on the edge of orgasm. That can be done with just about any "act," from total olde-style burlesque strip-tease, to plain bikini grinding. But so often, the "performance" eclipses the sexualityh instead of enhancing it.
Remember when it was also considered an art form, and not just a means to an end?
... and said lady made "dates" with some of the men for later, which may have been the origin of stripper "extras."
... and the only time you saw a really fat lady was at the same carnival.
Let me propose some ground rules here: since this could easily drift way off topic, let me suggest that at least the first item in each post be stripper-related.
