Post COVID laws: Strip Clubs most vulnerable

rogertex
Texas
There will be new laws/regulations in post-COVID era.
Primarily around managing recurring spread of this virus and similar ones.

As law makers mull over - business to business and industry to industry - Salons, Bars, Retail, Dentists, Gyms, amusement parks, movies, planes ... there will be 5 minutes given to strip clubs.

At that 5-minute moment - the DA or the public attorney turns out to be a bitch with a Nicole-type bitter past, the proposal would state - "For protecting the dancers and club employees and patrons, there must be no touching, a minimum of 6 ft distance maintained at all times and face masks worn at all times."

No law-maker would object and in it goes into the new set of rules and regulations.
After the first city passes this - an expected standard will be set across many states, if not all.
No senator/congressman wants to fight this - can be used against them during re-election.

And club owners, dancers, patrons will spend years fighting this - and mostly whining.

Prostitution (money for sex between consenting, healthy adults) has been kept illegal for decades on the weak and unsubstantiated basis that it promotes trafficking of minors (& drugs). Every responsible monger agrees that trafficking of minors is illegal and criminal and must have commensurate punishment. But what two consenting adults, of sane mind and body, do, is a fundamental right of freedom.

Hoping this post is also filed as a work of fiction !

It's kept illegal because dudes setting those policies don't want to hear their WAGs bitch about the endless supply of chicks that men can go find instead of dealing with ultimatum drama at home.

This is where wide-spread testing would be so handy - in the case of strip-clubs where there can be lots of people in close-proximity, as well as close-contact, having prove that one is negative or has antibodies would be a plausible way to opening things up to higher-density businesses - IDK the details but some Asian countries mandate their citizens to have a barcode on their phones that I think states their Covid status -and yeah, it's a reach to expect strip clubs to follow any kinda guidelines but just trying to see a silver PL lining.

If that's the case, I'll have more money to spend once a vaccine is developed.

At the current time, only 3-ways I'd consider stepping into a strip-club (although my dick may convince me o/w):

1) knowing I had the antibodies (although it may not be foolproof)

2) there was treatment to effectively and fairly-quickly remedy the illness if infected

3) there was a vaccine

I'll agree with Papi on #2. I have had vaccines for pneumonia in 2017, 2018 & 2019 and have had pneumonia requiring hospitalization all 3 years. I have since learned that the vaccines cannot prevent you from getting pneumonia but can reduce the severity of it. I know this to be true because my last episode in Dec 2019 only required 2 1/2 days in the hospital. Previous ones were 4-5 days and required going home on oxygen. No oxygen in the last one.

If I was sure they had a treatment as good as the one for pneumonia, it would make me more secure about venturing in strip clubs and getting intimate with any female.

Yet Georgia is opening massage parlors. How is that safer than a strip club? Anyway, this might just temporarily set back strip clubs back 30 years, when they were supposedly non-touch...

I believe that some prudes are looking at this pandemic as good reason to shut the clubs down. People will accept human beings trying to physically harm one another i.e boxing or playing football, but get upset with things consenting adults do in private.

I have three requirements before ever even considering going back to strip clubs. 1-they are open, 2-they are the same as before, 3. Masks are not allowed.

I agree with the OP, these types of restrictions will not be a surprise. So for awhile, strip clubs may essentially become sites for OTC marketing to customers that can’t touch in the club!

Pneumonia isn't an infections disease, it is a symptom. You can get vaccinated for it as much as you can get vaccinated for headaches.

A few days ago the realization hit me, strip clubs are probably done for good.
Topless bars may survive but the non nude high mileage clubs are not coming back. I thought that organized crime could grease a few palms in many places and get the clubs back up but it seems like whoever is behind this entire thing is far more powerful than that. We've seen underground nightclubs shutdown in some cities recently. The powers that be are not taking bribes to look the other way which to me shows how deep this thing actually goes.

Is the rest of what you wrote what you're offering up to support your conclusion?

Regarding the comment about setting the clubs back to the pre contact or pre lap dance days, the reason lap dances developed when they did in the 90s was as an adaptation by the industry to the internet and the rise of ubiquitous internet porn. Seeing naked women used to actually be a somewhat big deal and not something you could get 24/7 on the computer (later on the phone). Seeing a lice nude girl was actually a reason itself to go to a club. Without lap dances or other mileage there's simply not going to be a market just for "nudie clubs" in the 2020's. A few bars can manage it as before but who would go sit in a Deja Vu with a coke and some popcorn to see less than you can see on your phone? That business model is not viable today.

Respect all your opinions and philosophies but it’s always good to stay POSITIVE rather than realistic. As on dude said this is a setback. A MAJOR one at that but let’s not forget one thing: P*#sy is Power and it will continue to be. Eventually, it will rise like a phoenix from the ashes lol. Some how some way life will get back to normal. We have a president who suggested tide pods is the cure for the plague and a governor who said opened a state back up 7 days before the original deadline. We will see our favorite girls again. Just stay clean, stay healthy and stack your dollar bills accordingly.

I think any predictions about how clubs will be in the future are premature - as long as we don't have a handle on this virus it's pretty-much TBD w.r.t. the strip-clubs - I assume it will be business as usual w.r.t. SCs once the virus is not as serious-a-concern - one can also make the argument most local governments are not gonna be too gung-ho about impeding businesses generating $$$ and taxes in the next couple of years as local governments try to dig themselves out of financial holes - but it's all TBD for now.

@Wallanon Lol man I’m in here drunk as hell just trying to keep spirits high man I’m so sick of all the depression from the news about all this. I come to this site to escape the madness and now it’s turning into Anderson Cooper 360. Again, no disrespect to the theories and all that because it’s true and we all have to be responsible but at some point let’s just call it what it is: PUSSY WILL FIND ITS WAY BACK TO THE LIMELIGHT. Legally or illegally. Stay safe peeps.

I think they are. But until cure / vaccine SC are dead. What we had before is gone.

There may be some kind of new venue who knows.

The new contractor laws in Cali were already starting to do damage, young men turning mgtow or losing interest in sex, clubs never really having fully recovered from the late 2000s recession, etc, had already been taking their toll.

You see? This is why we need to #OpenFlorida

Dave_Anderson, agree about CA strip clubs. Will be interesting to see whether SF clubs re-open and keep going

3 Phases of re-opening.

Phase 1 open: Gyms, Churches, Sporting events, Movies, Restaurants, Stores. (6 ft social distancing)
Phase 1 notable closures: Schools, Colleges, Visitation of Senior Living Centers, Bars (presume SCs also)
No mention of hair salons, amusement parks.

Phase 2 open: Phase 1 + Schools, Bars (with 6 ft social distancing and capacity limitations)
To remain closed: Visitation to Senior Care Centers

Phase 3: All open - with reasonable social distancing and appropriate PPE.

Local and State authorities have final say.
Full report: https://www.whitehouse.gov/openingameric…

1st strip clubs could open doors not before June. With half of cities lighting up only by July.
I am expecting limits on physical contact this summer - with situation easing in Fall.
Just need to watch out for "Agenda-Driving prudes and bitches" in the government !
This crisis is so huge that petty agenda seekers could remain muted.

If churches are phase 1 they need to ban older people from going which is the majority

Same for strip clubs, older folks need to stay home. Young strippers are bound to catch it but it’s not going to kill them.

"... Phase 1 open: Gyms, Churches, Sporting events, Movies, Restaurants, Stores ..."

Gyms are kinda necessary but I don't think they should be phase 1 - you have dozens of people breathing heavy, sweating, touching exercise equipment, etc - and many people stay in there one hour or more which one would think would increase chances of infection

Churches are also a good thing to have open - but IMO that also should not be a phase-1 thing - having a large # of people confined to a space often for an hour or more with the a/c circulating potential pathogens - this would also apply to movie-theaters.

w.r.t. phase-1 sporting events I assume they would be w/o spectators.

I would think businesses that open would still struggle since I doubt the vast majority of people/consumers will go back to business as usual for now even if things are open.
