Which state "does not prohibit" two way full contact to stripper?

Ohio
Based on my experience, I can list some of the states which I went.
Ohio - not allowed.
Utah - not allowed. (Even Lap dance is prohibited when they are selling alcohol or the stripper is nude.)
New York - Not allowed.
Oregon - Not allowed.
Georgia - Not prohibited. (But depends on clubs I guess?)
Indiana - Not prohibited. (But the strippers have to wear pasties and panty.)
I am not really sure with other states. Would you share your experience?

In general, in New York a stripper can be fully nude on stage and for lap dances if the club does not serve alcohol. For a club that does not serve alcohol, a customer cannot touch when the stripper is on stage, but it's O.K. to touch, with permission, during a fully nude lap dance, except touching her private areas.
Years ago, I was at a club in the Hudson Valley and a fully nude dancer handed out paint brushes. The customers could buy a paint brush and "paint" her in any area using some paint while she was fully nude on stage. Apparently, a "paint brush" is not touching!
The owner of another club that didn't serve alcohol told me I could "tip" while the fully nude dancer is on stage, but no touching. And tipping is strictly prohibited when the dancer is off stage or when the dancer does a lap dance. He wanted to immediately know if any dancer should ask for a tip or suggest that you will get a hotter dance for a tip. It has to do with what the local municipality considers to be prostitution.
The nuances depending on locality can make a big difference in your experience.
As I understand it, US Federal law and court decisions demand that stripping remain legal -- taking clothing off is a form of expression protected by the First Amendment and some other stuff. So the OP is probably asking more a question of nuance. For example, (a) which States or smaller localities have narrowed that Federal holding so that some portions or forms of stripping are still illegal, while still honoring the Federal mandate to allow it; (b) which places have laws addressing LAP DANCING and other types of personal dances (f.e. the "sweetheart dance" which is a stand-up-and-sway-together experience offered at some few clubs in some few locations) as opposed to merely addressing STRIPPING; (c) which places have laws that tend toward transgressing the Federal mandate, and maybe have laws under category (b) which are such violations; and finally, (d) which of these rules are actually enforced.
It's thorny. My categories (b) and (c) potentially overlap, for example. I think the most important question is not "what are the rules," I think the most important question is (d), "what is the enforcement."
TLDR -- IMO it's more important to understand what is allowed in practice, rather than what the law says in theory.
In Oregon, two-way contact seems legal; why does OP think it's not? Read some reviews and in most places there's touching of boobs, grinding; and in many, some stick shifting. In a few, fingering of the V and ITP. Full service on occasion.
Enforcement can be local police or the liquor licensing agency. In Portland, OR, the liquor commission is pushing for cameras in lap dance areas. But the city police ask callers to file reports online for anything less than murder or disrepecting an unhoused person.
Second, comparing. Where I'm at, in Louisiana almost everything is illegal, including stripping and gambling (both are against the State constitution; but "gaming" has been carved out as explicitly legal, so we have casinos and -- New! -- sports betting as long as the wager is on a "game of skill" not random chance but we also have a State Lottery that is mandated to be totally random so yeah anybody's guess). The Louisiana anti-stripping law can't be enforced because it and its ilk have been deemed Unconstitutional on aforementioned First Amendment grounds. Further, in New Orleans, contact lap dancing is explicitly illegal, so all the booths in all the clubs have little footstool-sized knee-high tables so that the clubs' owners can claim to have set things up not for LAP dances but rather for "table dances" and therefore any contact was just a transgression on the part of the young lady who is an independent contractor etc. etc.. So, at the right price, the girl who kneels in front of me and whips my dick out may have broken fewer laws than the girl who leaves me all zipped up but sits on my lap and gyrates with her tits out.
