  Might just be a story that most would feel best left untold!

  I haven't heard of it happening, but I'm positive that it does. If not, I think it's a whole area of income potential that the dancers are overlooking.

  I've heard of it, but I don't remember where or the details. What I've heard about more often is strippers agreeing to meet OTC and then having her icky boyfriend rob the PL and bonk him over the head. It happened a couple of years ago at a club near me - more precisely, in a motel parking lot nearby. The guy lived but the 19 year-old stripper and her man are doing hard time. Also heard stories about the boyfriend breaking into the PLs house to rob and kill him, etc.

  Several months ago in Chicago there was a story in the news about an independent escort that tried it. She made $48,000 over a year from a customer from Michigan that traveled to Chicago once or twice a month, then she tried to blackmail him for $50,000. He called the police and she was arrested and prosecuted in the Chicago courts. The most interesting thing is they kept secret the name of the man from the newspapers and in the court documents to protect him! He must have cut a deal with them to keep from being exposed. They must have really wanted to get her if they agreed to protect his identity.

  Here's the link to that story: [view link] Chicago can't be the only place this has happened.

  A dancer in East St. Louis who ventured to Houston to dance claims that the current crack-down on Treasures was the result of a judge picking up a dancer and taking her home...the next day, the dancer and a couple of guys took their pick of His Honor's material possessions. According to the story, the judge got pissed (rather understandably), and gave the signal to LE to get Treasures. That could happen in my little county seat town in the rural Midwest; not sure that it could really happen in a big city like Houston. But that's the story I heard.

  chitownlawyer, Not backmail, but in Miami, a few years ago, a US attorney bit a dancer on the arm, in a club. Turns out, the dancer was the wife of a guy that worked for me. I saw the wound and knew the whole story except for the conclusion. Seems that part had a gag order attached.

  I'm surprised this sort of thing doesn't come to light more often. I think however that men have equivalent levels of "payback" that can be threatened. If a gal were threatening me with blackmail, after I'd participated in paying for her services willingly, I think I'd be able to find certain means of getting at her via the same means she had to getting at me. The power imbalance only happens when one party perceives themselves as having more to lose or less to gain than the other. The guy who is married could always threaten the following: "Hey, go ahead, TELL MY WIFE! See if I care! I'll make sure she has a video recorder nearby so that when you're done, I can forward a copy of the encounter to the cops and they can just knock on your door with their iron-clad case of prostitution against you. Would you like to phone up the wives of any of the other dudes whom I know have patronized you? Maybe you'd like to make your own jail sentence LONGER ... " Of course, this can only happen if the guy is willing to risk letting his wife know about it. That's where the "more to lose / less to gain" equation comes in.

  Watch out for the camera cell phone when dancers get your office e-mail address. She flicks you while finishing you off and sends it to the office e-mail address on your business card. Your boss, secretary or co-worker opens the e-mail and ... And you thought you were friends.

  I remember one dancer must have asked me a question and I told her that I hadn't told a soul anything about her. One night when she was a bit ticked off about something, she threatened to call or stop by and tell everyone I knew that me and her had something going on. That wasn't true. That got a great laugh from me though. I could just imagine all the guys asking me who the hot girl was and I didn't want to become office gossip. Seems to be difficult at times to avoid anyway though for some coworkers.

  Once a dancer sitting across from me at a semi-circle-like bar was dialing on her cell while the camera was directly pointed at my face. Instinctively, I turned my face away from the camera. A bouncer standing by caught that and instructed the girl to point the camera down. Though I admired the bouncer's professionalism, I could not add this little story to the club's review...

  Have I ever been 'blackmailed' for money? NO! Have I ever been 'blackmailed' YES! THE SITUATION: While I was married, I went to the local PP in my town. I got really great mileage from a dancer in their VIP room, but the dancer was hesitant about going any further ITC. She did mention that she would do PRIVATE DANCES for me in her motel room. BTW, her boyfriend was in the club and was OK with that idea. THE MOVE: At a pre-designed time and date, I met the dancer at her motel. Upon entering, she advised me that her boyfriend was in their bedroom and would stay there until she finished the dances. She proceeded with her dances, resulting in a BBBJ with CIM. Money transferred hands, and I left. THE GUILT FACTOR: She called me the next day and told me that she felt guilty about what she had done, and told her boyfriend what had transpired. THE SET-UP: She continues calling to let me know she was sorry for telling him, that he was really pissed at her, as well as me. They both come to my place of employment where my 'then current' wife and I both worked (public place). They don't know my wife's first name nor what she looks like, but he had theatened to spill the beans to my wife. I informed her and him that I would set them up with a free one-night stay in the hotel I was working for, with a free buffet dinner, as an apology. THE RESULTS: After arrangements were made, I called the dancer and told her that her and her boyfriend were staying as free guests at the hotel and that they could pick up the keys and buffee dinner cards when they checked in on a particular evening, at the front desk. LESSON LEARNED: Don't discuss your marital relationship, family, nor work status, while clubbing.

  hmm ... maybe that's why dancers always ask, "So, are you married?"

  BG, I never hide that I am married, and a quick look at my left hand will confirm that. So when a dancer asks if I am married, I tell her "no". She then ALWAYS asks about the ring. I then tell her that since I've gotten older, I can't handle all the women and it helps keep some women away from me!

  I forgot to add.... that the couple moved on to Texas somewhere a week later and I haven't seen them since, and actually, although she had a G-R-E-A-T mouth, don't care to see either one of them again!

  Good reason to never reveal your identity, and keep your vehicle parked far from the club

  I'm thinking the next time a girl or dancer insists I must be married, I'm going to think they are drunk. Either that or tell her I'm willing to cheat with her.
