How many different SCs have you visited--in your life?

If you had to put a number to it
Anytime I think of a number, I suddenly remember, oh wait there was that layover in Atlanta, where I visited a SC out there...
And don't forget all the SCs you visited that are now defunct. Count those too.
My answer: between 50 and 75?
I don't think I hit triple digits yet. Though I wouldn't be surprised.
It doesn't sound like a lot but keep in mind there's like 3,000 SCs in The U.S.
I guess feel free to use this thread as scratch paper...
And don't overcompensate. Actual numbers are always bigger in our minds, then in real-life.

I started counting and just within half an hour of where I live now, I got to over 30 within my lifetime. That isn't counting those that closed and reopened or the ones that changed owners and revamped themselves.
A few notables that I miss dearly, Al's bar in Newark, Stars and bars in Long Branch, Phoenix and club Fahrenheit in Asbury park and club Celebration in Neptune.
I should write up some of the stories form these places.
I'm actually proud of y'all
1. The ones that got deleted from my count when that was still happening. I think founder fixed that, but once upon a time my place count dropped every time a club that I reviewed was taken off the site...lost a handful of clubs just from that alone;
2. The 50+ clubs I visited all over the U.S., Canada and London before I ever had this screen name on TUSCL; and
3. The approx. 1 out of every 4 that I've visited since writing reviews on TUSCL but did not review for one reason or another (usually because the visit was short or I was too drunk to recall clearly).
Shit, if I really worked to inventory every place I clubbed in the last 20 years the number would probably be closer to 250, but I'll just say 200 or so for the record.
I said 50-75 for myself, but I'm gonna write my list now and see what's the actual number. I'm curious...
I may not hit 50
But most of them were from my youth, some 30 years ago, so it's difficult to remember all of them.
I've counted 16 so far, in three states, two Canadian provinces and Tijuana. I'm sure it's more than that, but probably not much more.
The question I'm asking myself is, will I ever step foot into another US or Canadian strip club after having visited TJ a few times? That remains to be seen.
Out of those 35, I wonder how many were officially listed on tuscl...lol...probably casually mentioned but not listed...quite a couple of them never bothered to make a website for themselves--because of the time it was late 90s early 2000s, why bother with a website at that time. Flyers on your car and word of mouth did fine.
And wasn't there some sort of debate out there whether the garage-strip clubs in some cities should count as strip clubs? Like one spot, hosted by local bikers in a warehouse for their bikes on Thursday nights complete with a real good DJ. I'm counting public buildings as strip clubs in my list.
Seeing those 35 different names...wow. I don't even want to think about how much money was spent on those places
But the reason it feels like at least 50 for me because at some point in the early 2000s, I met dudes who host SC parties at private homes. I'm NOT counting homes in my list of 35, even though it's a house that I may continually go to for SC parties even after all these years--some of these house parties have lasted at the same house longer than actual brick-building SCs.
Support rickspection. Don’t go to the club unless it is rick-approved. ROAR!!!
I've never traveled for business. And the places where I go on vacation often don't have good clubs (Colorado, for example).
I really don’t go that often but I have been going to strip clubs for a very long time.
I’d guess I’ve been to around a hundred, maybe a few more if you count the clubs that are a combination strip club/brothel.
You can't count the gay clubs!
The vast majority were clubs I visited long before I ever heard of TUSCL and probably before the site was even launched.
Anyway, I over-estimated on my first try. But the question made me stop and think about the strip clubs I’ve been to around the world.
I’ll never know for sure, but somewhere between 70 and 80 is a more accurate figure.
In all seriousness, The Living Room in Dayton, Ohio used to have male dancers till about 9-10PM, then they would leave and the ladies took over. Some guys went there early to hope and catch a horny lady leaving.
Well, looks like someone keeps an Excel spreadsheet handy.
Any of these now-defunct clubs on your list: Please Station, The Zoo, The Booby Trap, Gold Door, Jon Jon's or (in Windsor) The Beanery?
If I remain in my career field as my kids get older and get a job that requires travel, I'll definitely be upping that number.
