Just a little info to consider while mongering.
More than 1 million STDs diagnosed every day, officials say
1 out of every 25 people have an STD, which means if you are in a club with 25 dancers on shift odds are at least 1 has an STD. Same odds apply to customers so if a dancer sells dances to 25 custies per shift odds are at least 1 has an STD.
While these odds aren't enough to stop me from seeking extras, they certainly reinforce my avoidance of bareback p4p.

last commentThe 25% figure in the article is a global statistic and only covers STIs that treatable with antibiotics. Who knows -- maybe the stats are even higher in US strip clubs?

Yes, but condoms do a poor job of protecting against HSV and HPV. Not to mention unprotected oral sex which carries it's own risks.
StdCheck.com is really convenient way to get tested and they offer a 10-panel test for $188. You don't need a doctor Rx and you don't need to show your ID. Includes the antibody tests for both HSV1 and HSV2. Easy to get test results on your phone to share with your partner. My last test results were clean as a virgin.

It goes with being sexualky-active outside a monogamous relationship (not really anything new) - in-fact one can argue things may be safer now than 20-years ago (e.g. with current HIV meds virus levels tend to be very low to where it makes transmission significantly lower;assuming HIV+ folks stick to their meds)

I never worry about stds in clubs I visit. Might explain why the clubs are so empty.

I am thinking the statistic is more like 2 out of 10 in a strip club. Just sayin...

I don't even think people are into condoms anymore. Young girls don't tend to have as many hangups these days.
