It seems like Covid times have chased away a lot of members on here

Maybe it’s not Covid all that is keeping older members away. I know that I have been using the site much less since the new design. I’ve nearly quit reading reviews because scrolling through them is near impossible, other features have made using the site a lot more difficult, using maps, finding clubs by city, many other “features” that are harder to use than they used to be.

Hopefully they are simply taking a break during the pandemic.

I hope they return.

Most that you mentioned have been gone long before Covid actually became a real thing.

Is winex dead? I remember his annoying racist ass on every thread now he’s ghost. Miss that racist dude.

I don't go to strip clubs due to the pandemic. So how much time am I really going to spend on this site?

I haven't scratched my PL monger itch in almost a year to the day. I tried my best to stay away from people, and take precautions. COVID ain't no joke. That said, I still got it, likely at work. Anyone out in the world will probably get it eventually, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. It took about 7 weeks to fully recover. I'm all good now, and fired up to get back into the clubs. Have a week in South Florida starting on Monday. At least 3, probably 5 reviews to come. Stay tuned...

A just published Wall Street Journal article says that the number of U.S. cases of Covid may actually be much higher than the official number, with maybe 60% having had it. This would bring us close to herd immunity by April. There has already been a 75% drop in daily cases from the peak as the disease finds it harder and harder to find individuals with no immunity from previous exposure. I've been going to Indianapolis clubs for a couple months and there's been a slow increase in customers and return to normality. We went from six foot away air dances in the beginning to almost pre-Covid levels of physical contact now. The areas of the country that haven't opened up should see the same thing when they do. Our missing members should come slowly trickling back as the rest of the clubs reopen.

Fuck. I actually miss SJG. As far as those not posting anymore... they quite possibly could be dead from this fucking virus. Most who post are or were probably older than 65. I am loosing 30 fucking percent of my patients (all geriatric) to this Goddamn virus! Truth fucking sucks!

The Board got real political there for a while. I think that drove some people away.

I used to post more often (but nowhere near the well known posters), but desertscrub summed it up. Clubbing is dead for me at least until I get my COVID vaccine. I don't go to clubs just to watch the girls from a distance and throw some dollars their way. I go to try and get action, either ITC or OTC. And right now, with a family at home, I'm just not comfortable doing that. Plus I had already moved most of my spending to SA girls vs. stripclubs. I liked having a "sure thing" for a while, even though those experiences have been very hit and miss.

Add to that another major factor for me, which is that travel has dried up. I haven't been on a business trip for over a year, and that was where I had most of my fun. Plus my personal "fun" trips to LA, Vegas and Miami haven't happened either. It's been over 2 years since I've been to a club, and that was a pretty good experience in El Paso.

I think next year when I believe things will get "back to normal" things will pick up. I have quite a bit of disposable income ready to go when I'm comfortable to spend it again.

Some people like JS69 left before the pandemic. SJG will be back as soon as the pandemic ends and he can get free internet at the library. I think Warrior is right that the heavy politics drove people away. Let's focus on strippers and not politicians.

Agree. It’s the whole club habit being depressed by the pandemic panic.

I stopped using this site about a year ago when everything was locking down. Figured it was a good opportunity to put my attention on other things. I started a new business, which seems kooky during a pandemic, but there were (and still are) a bunch of people trapped in their homes wanting to buy things just to break the monotony. Also, I wanted to put the club money I was saving to good use. So, I'm doing far better than most, which is fortunate.

I'm not going to talk about the nature of the business because it's a niche and Rhode Island is small. So, it wouldn't require a lot of Google Kung-Fu to narrow it down to a tiny crowd that would include me. It's legit and not related to any of the popular topics here. Sorry about the "mystery". I still value my privacy.

I've been pretty careful since February 2020. I haven't had COVID (knocks on wood), but I've lost three people close to me. One older and fit the standard profile for a COVID fatality. The other two were younger and in good health with no medical conditions that would make them higher risk. That was a shock. So, anyway, I've been relatively careful.

I'm not going to strip clubs anywhere local to Rhode Island. Most are not offering any dances and stage dances take place behind glass. So, it's like a strip club terrarium. Seems less than fun. I've heard that Club Desire in Providence, RI, now has a contact tracing protocol before you enter. They take a first name, a phone number, and a photo of your face. That's a hard 'no' for me.

Will I go back to the clubs when things become "normal" again? No idea. I'll probably give it a shot to see if it's still a thing I want to do.

As to adult fun, I have two sugar babies now. Neither came from the adult industry or a website. So, relatively civilian. One is semi regular, and the other is very occasional. I fully admit that this add to my COVID risk, but we all determine how much risk we want in our lives.

Anywho, I've popped in here every few months just to look around out of curiosity. Today was one of those days and, seeing this thread, I decided to check in. Take care of yourselves. Stay healthy and happy.

Addendum ... While I was here, I checked the reviews for Club Desire. Per OldWhiteGuy's review on Feb. 15, the club takes a phone number and name, but not a photo. Moral of the story ... don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Hey TUSCLers! HG checking in. Call.Me.Ismael summed it up nicely. I have a very similar story since Feb 2020.

Been scratching the hobby itch, and supporting SB friends, by paying for sexy pics and vids. The eye candy runs the full range from glamour face shots and masturbation videos, to full sex and lesbian shower scenes. With no business or personal travel, I haven’t connected with out of town SBs, Two local SBs went silent, which was fine with me.

Stay vigilant folks! We’re almost through this pandemic!

As mentioned between no clubs open and people reluctant to venture out without a vaccine most longtime posters probably will return after the pandemic eases up. In the meantime other interests/hobbies have had to fill the void until things start heading back to normal.

there at candyland getting a BJ while listening to Usher

It was good to hear from SirLDAlot. His decision to stop clubbing makes sense. I’m glad it was a natural progression away from enjoyment, and not anything related to getting covid.

I guess telling people that they're having fun wrong is still a thing here. If someone wants to spend their money on OnlyFans, go for it. It's not my thing, but, then again, my thing may not be fun for you. [shrug]

I see a couple of the peeps on Muddy's list added their input. Of the others the 2 I miss are Flag and Titty. If I correctly recall things Flag just abruptly disappeared with no trace and Titty wasn't murdered, Founder asked if he should be banned and Titty spoke up and said he wanted his account deleted anyway.

A couple others MIA since long before Covid are Dougster and Mikey2a or a2, I don't recall his exact name. And lest we forget our very own illegal immigrant back alley curry covered cocksucker from Calcutta, randumb-rumdummoron, josh43, realdougster, mtent, txtittyfag dot, drphil dot, etc etc etc. who was constantly bitch slapped and who nobody cares about or misses anyway so she's morphed into the silent disliker jonycovid99.

Just like 100 years ago, the 20s will roar.

I've been taking this down time to learn the new way of writing web apps.

There are massive changes coming to tuscl.

It is good to hear from Ishmael. I’m glad he’s still sniffing around this site.

If we changed - while you were away - that would have been odd. We are mostly old gentlemen who have our specific opinions on what is right and wrong.

At least we seem to agree that SJG was an odd guy. He seemed to enjoy telling us we were having fun wrong.

@CMI now that SJG is gone it's just Desertscrub who bitches about everything. Dancer review? He'll say "who gives a fuck!" and down vote it. Couples review? He'll call it a club ad, down vote it and bitch about it. A girl posting a natural photo showing any excess of meat on her bones? He'll make a joke about her being fat etc etc. Wanna dance in Portland? "PORTLAND HAS NO MONEY!" is his response. Dude gets crabbier with each passing month.

Even with all that, he's still nowhere near as annoying as SJG was. No more fifteen threads of him talking to himself being bumped daily, no more manifestos about why LDK is bad, and I've heard no mention of a front room make out session in forever. If only more clubs were open so I could visit and also see more reviews this forum would be exactly how I like it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure JS69 retired from the board and GACA was slow fading before. And didn't clubber officially quit clubbing pre covid?

Dougster didn't leave so much as self-destruct. He thought he was the most important person in the board until we all called his bluff. He's still here under various guises (since he doesn't have the wherewithal to get an offline life), but he's too proud to admit he was wrong log baxknin as Dougster.

I don't miss SJG, since he was ignored long before COVID. I agree that desertscrub has filled the void left by SJG, and ignored him to save the bandwidth for worthwhile posters.

Life is too short for douchbags and ugly strippers.

@TiredTraveler hasn't posted since last September - he wasn't a super-avid poster but posted fairly-regularly in the past and has over 200-reviews - his profile shows he logged in this month though

And @GoVikings hasn't posted much in a while either although I PMed w/ him recently

I know personally I moved on to sugar babies and don't plan on going back to clubs much. Too expensive, too much wasted time to get what I want.

A LDK a few times a year might still be nice.

Clubber is still around. I just quit stopping by as much. As much like JamesSD said, I've quit clubbing. Just didn't have a way to continue. Last clubbing did was with shadowcat up in Atlanta and even that was over 2 years ago. Ever since I left this site, for the most part, I would still just pop in and look around, just not often.

As a loooong time member, I just can't go cold turkey!

Glad you are back posting Wiffle Waffle (or No for short). You went through some real shit, and I’m glad to hear you are getting back to working.

You will be doing very well in the biz - as you are intelligent and sober - and you have an agent.

Covid is a scamdemic. Biggest successful fraud in human history.

^You really are a special kind of stupid.
