Lurker Steps Up

Jul 18, 2007, 6:23 PM

Interesting group you have here. Not certain how much I have to contribute, but I've been to the rodeo a couple of times.

Up to about age forty, I only knew of clubs in which the dancers looked like they fell off the back of somebody's motorcycle. Got a hint that there was more out there in the clubs of East St. Louis, Illinois (PTs and Diamond Club).

Life changed drastically one night as part of a group making its first visit to Tampa's Mons Venus. Talk about sensory overload. Stunning women, twenty years younger. New horizons of tactile sensations. Most vivid memory of that night was having an exquisite breast pressed to my disbelieving lips. Felt like a high school kid.

Learned two things that night. One: I wanted more. Two: Never again travel with a group. The only two things that will decide when it's time to leave are me or my wallet.

From then on, any trip to Florida somehow got routed through Tampa. You know you've got a problem when you fly in and out of Tampa and your destination is Daytona. But, after all, the rental car was unlimited mileage.

Favorite Clubs:

The combination of Seductions and Sundowner in Niagara Falls, CN. I can't believe that area, with its overall live and let live approach---not to mention Cuban cigars, isn't more popular.

The Booby Trap in Pompano Beach, FL has that seamy, but not too seamy aura that makes it right for me. The only place I've ever found where the Champagne room paid off in enough off-the-chart value to make it worthwhile.

Haven't been back to Tampa in a while but still have a warm place in my heart for the moveable feast it once was. Take out from Mons and 2001 were extravagant experiences, but worthwhile. Ybor Strip had its day. Could never get comfortable with the Lipstixx thing, but to each his own.

Regrets...a few, but too few to mention.

Recent travels brought me to the Mens Club of Charlotte, NC and its "electric chair dances"---think of your arms being strapped to the chair arms, and you'll get the idea.

Made a couple of runs south to PP Columbia, and I definitely see what everyone is talking about.

I'll be chiming in from time to time. If I run afoul of the rules of the road, let me know.

Hey, man, are you following me? No shit, ESL, Tampa, Niagara Falls, even PP Columbia - it's all on my resume, too. Even the part about thinking strip clubs were all skankholes until an advanced age. Except for Pompano Beach and the electric chair. That must have been when my back was turned.

FantasyCamper: Welcome aboard... always glad to have a new poster to liven things up. If you've been reading along lately, it's pretty obvious we need some new topics and a fresh perspective. Something you said in your post triggered some curiousity... What "Lipstixx thing" are you not comfortable with - I've never been there, and haven't read anything about the place... am I missing an interesting experience?

Welcome aboard. And don't worry about the rules here, there aren't any.

Doug: Lipstixx in Tampa is basically a full service whorehouse masquerading as a strip club. It's the only place I ever paid for in-club intercourse. I had to try it once to make sure I wasn't comfortable with it. That was about 13 years ago, so maybe Fantasycamper can tell us how it has changed. (I don't think it has.)

Hmmm... how much is round-trip airfare to Tampa? [wink]

You're following ME too. :) But I see Memphis isn't on your list, FantasyCamper, and now that they've raided and closed won PP, it doesn't need to be. Ever tried San Francisco?

Wow, this is an hospitable group.

Chandler pretty much nailed the Lipstixx experience. And curiously enough we were there in about the same time frame. I understand they have a new location rather than the one I visited in the bowels of Drew Park, and it couldn't help but be an upgrade.

The ambience was what you would expect if someone opened a club in their garage. I remember that my one drink minimum was a can of soda (came unopened, nice touch)

The VIP room did double duty as the route the dancers took to the dressing room. I remember sitting on a wooden bench, while the other dancers walked by as I received an HJ (she called it a "private touch") from a dancer who was sitting on a picnic cooler which, it was apparent, had recently held the aforementioned unopened can of soda.

Some things I remember despite my best efforts to forget.

Book Guy, my only trip to Memphis, sadly, wouldn't accomodate any club activity---GREAT music though. As to Mitchell Brothers in San Francisco, I can't list it as a favorite, but it was one of those experiences every reader of this board needs to have once. It is the most wide open and multi-faceted entertainment facility an adult male could imagine. The theme rooms, the on premises porn theater, the complete lack of pretense.

The ladies I encountered were strictly of the "churn 'em and burn 'em" school of thinking, but I believe that is by the operator's design. You've got to admire the ingenuity it takes to sell tokens to activate timers on the private rooms.

That being said, I went back two more times.

I kinda miss the old Lipstixx. The new one has a room-behind-the-room, though, that's EXCELLENT. :)

fantasycamper: I noticed your comment about my favorite club but I have never seen you review it. Don't forget the TUSCL meet up there on Oct 26th. If I don't get 20 TUSCLers to make it, I am never going to suggest it again.
