When is a stripper no longer a baby stripper?

Hank Moody

I'm fine. I'm disgusted with my life and myself, but I'm not unhappy about that.

I’m not suggesting that there is a hard and fast rule, but what do you look for? I ask because I typically avoid dances/rooms with baby strippers. Sometimes they haven’t perfected their technique. Other times they don’t know what customers expect or what is customary for the club. Sometimes they are too naive and the imbalance of power makes me feel like I’m taking advantage or creepy.

Recently, I had a spectacular room with a girl who’d been dancing for six weeks. I wouldn’t have gone with a girl so new, but she … uh … convinced my little brain while we were in the front room that the VIP would be great, and it was. Later, after she got more experience, she dialed back on what she was comfortable with in the club. We’re currently discussing OTC options to get around the club restrictions, so it looks like it’s a case of club rules being the impediment. She just didn’t know the rules in the beginning.

My typical over/under line for baby/young veteran stripper is 3 months. By that time, they’ve likely spent 20 hours a week in the club and have maybe 275 hours of experience. They’ve learned the rules, done a couple dozen rooms, been propositioned for sex, weird fetish shit and have some regulars. They’ve hopefully adapted to the partying and know what they can handle. They’ve figured out their own boundaries. Now, it’s not perfect. Some girls learn faster than others. Some girls start out more suited for the life. Some will never be.

Basically, if a girl tells me she’s been dancing for 3 months I feel comfortable to ask a few more questions and then take a chance on getting a room (we don’t have many low cost single dance test drive options here in BMore). Last night a girl told me she’d been dancing a year, but in telling a story about another guy she (intentionally I’m sure) told me what she was and wasn’t comfortable with and I decided we weren’t a match despite the good conversation we were having. How do y’all see it and does it even matter to you?
