At what point do you become too old for clubbing?

As we ponder whether certain politicians should get out of the game, I think about whether the same considerations, or versions of these, apply to us hobbyists.

I just turned 73, and haven't been to more than a couple of places in the last year. There are several reasons.

1. The simplest reason: the equipment doesn't work so well any more. Even with Vitamin V.
2. The old B.B.King line comes to mind" "The Thrill is Gone." I've pretty much done everying available in strip clubs. What was fresh and arousing 20 years ago is now ho-hum.
3. My old haunt, Baltimore's Block, would now best be bulldozed away. It was once great for entertainment value of the kind most of us seek out. Now, it takes major desparation to go there.

Curious to hear other thoughts.....

When it stops being fun. That has nothing to do with age, but remains the best reason to stop.

I plan to hang up the shoes whenever the equipment stops working (without vitamin V.) That seems a valid reason to hang it up.

I feel your pain on the Block. I never saw it in it's hay day but I did visit about two years ago, and it's sketchy. The private room I did had video cameras watching the entrance, and the dancer told me to keep an eye on them as she was doing her business, in case they'd get raided. Almost entirely killed the buzz, not to mention the fear of getting mugged coming and going.

I wouldn't let THAT stop you though. There are other scenes that are excellent for mongering. Maybe a trip to Inskter, MI, Pompano, FL, or Tijuana would cure your blues?

What CMI says.
I'm cutting out a big chunk of my mongering activities not because of age (though I'm getting up there) but because there is enough associated agita to counterbalance the fun. But it's not a one way door. You can chill out for a bit and you can always go back if you miss it, maybe with renewed enthusiasm. Change of locale can also help

I keep it exciting by smashing it all into 3 or 4 days a year. I don't club in my own city, so we take a yearly trip to Vegas (I'd like to try Atlanta or South Florida, but my life circumstances are not able to figure out how to get there) and club for 10+ hours a day.

That puts me at around 30 hours of clubbing, which equates to an average of 2.5 hours per month. By that last day though......I'm dragging ass and looking at the shattered dreams of my club budget.

I just realized my last comment did not address the OP question: I'll stop when it isn't exciting anymore, or my body gives out (I'm not talking about my dick either).

There’s things I don’t do anymore and there’s other things I never used to do that I am able to do now, I’ve definitely cut back, but I’ll keep hitting the strip clubs until I don’t enjoy it.
My equipment works well not the same but it’s still in good condition.
I’d say everyone is different, some folks that I’m friends with are still playing tennis and there’s a group at my club that plays basketball most of them are late seventies one is eightytwo
I’m seventy still walk 4-7 miles a day and swim an average of one hour daily play golf every Saturday with a group that I’m the oldest and I still win my share, my long game isn’t that bad, but my short game has improved with age.

When a good hard lap dance risks a pelvic fracture.

I am also 73 and wonder about when I will stop going to strip clubs. Because the type of dancer I like ,white spinners, has been rapidly declining in the last decade (only fans, web cams maybe?) I rarely go anymore although the desire is still there and the equipment (mostly) still works after prostate surgery.

Also with dance prices and VIP prices escalating, I have a hard time justifying the $10/ minute I am paying these girls. I am not wealthy, but can afford the $30 dances, it just seems like I realize how long it took to earn $30 and that decreases my desire to participate. I actually think most of these dancers would make as much or more money if lap dances returned to the $10 range. Seems like dancers in Atlanta at Vivide, Hip Hugger in Kokomo, and others are constantly busy with $10 dances while at other clubs, the dancers constantly complain about no one getting lap dances. It's pretty simple economics, but the strip club world seems to ignore it.

So in answer to the question posted, I have no plans to quit at 73, but certainly am much more selective about my strip club visits. As long as Shadowcat keeps going strong in his early 80's, I figure the rest of us can hang on for a while longer.

You're too old for clubbing when a dancer refuses to take your money for a LD and
explains that you are too old.

There are a few of my pursuits that have remained fun for me my whole life and I still enjoy them. But there are quite a few amusements that interested me for a period of time and then, eventually, my interest just faded. I don’t know why. Sometimes my interest returned at a later date. Sometimes not.

So for the most part, I think it’s OP reason number 2.

Summarizing some other points above - but to me they are all tied together:

Not being fun anymore which is a combination of not seeing the type of girl I want and not wanting to pay more than I think it should be. And when both those criteria are not met, my junk automatically doesn't work right.

I do think age factors in last cuz a chick that truly understands how a man's sex organ works can get a rise no matter what.

I remember the block in it's glory. It was always sketchy! But now after the fire burned half of it down several years ago it's worse. I go to Fantasies now and it's just as much for the bartenders and acquaintances I have there as the show. I only get private dances occasionally if I drink too much, but i tip well and the girls kmow thats not my thing. I see no reason to stop ever if you still enjoy it. It's mot all about your equipment...

I'm 82 and had a heart attack back in April. My cardiac M.D has not yet cleared me for using Sildenafil but I keep hitting my favorite club about once a week and been doing VIP's. It gets me out of the house.

I’ll stop when it’s no longer fun. I’ve been picking up speed the last 10 years so it may be a while.

I don't think it's an age thing it's an interest thing. I'm going on the road soon to a place with decent clubs and I'm debating whether or not I'll pass through any. It'll be the first trip I've taken in years where clubs are around and I don't go.

When you no longer have a libido...happens at different ages, and for different reasons. Or, when you've found a partner that keeps your interest well enough to keep your mind off strippers. Or, you get a better hobby.

I'm with Snowtime, the thing that reduces my interest the most is the absence of dancers who are appealing to me. I might describe this trend as "decline in dancer quality" but I suppose a more diplomatic description would be "changes in the population's general preferences regarding dancer characteristics." Either way, the thrill is gone, to some extent, but this is through no function (I think?) of my ageing.

I do quit when it's not fun any more. I have done so, intermittently, several times over the years. I didn't really club much (or any) from about 2010 to about 2020, for example. I can't name the statistics specifically but I would say that the total number of times I attended a club in one year, say f.e. 2005, would probably be more than the number of times for the other entire decade from '10 to '20. I go through droughts and floods. Usually the thing that changes my approach is, that it becomes fun again. Ageing hasn't really changed that.

For a politician, they are too old when they can no longer think clearly enough to comprehend all of the details of a situation and make a well informed and rational decision about what is in the best interest of the people they represent. As mental decline happens at various rates and affects people at various ages, that could be at 65, 85 or 105 depending on the person.

For a monger, we become too old when we no longer get any joy out of going to the club to spend time with young beautiful women who are getting naked for money. This too can happen at different times for different men. Some men with a bad heart may no longer be able to safely enjoy a strip club in their 50s, others may still be going strong well into their 90s. Some may even find such true love that they stop getting any enjoyment out of seeing random naked women in their 20s or 30s.

In the end, as long as we are enjoying ourselves and have the disposable income to be able to afford it age is just a number.

===> "At what point do you become too old for clubbing?"

I suppose when it's no longer fun. I'll admit that I'm getting to a point where I need the payoff less than I used to. This doesn't just impact my interactions with strippers, but sugar babies as well.

The good news for me is that I'm still young enough to squirrel extra money aside for my kids, so there is a net benefit to my physical changes. If I can hold on for another decade or so, I will be able to leave a legacy behind now that I'm not spending a fortune on young females, lol.

I'm only 33. So this doesn't fully apply to me. But having bad equipment, too low testosterone, or just lack of fun can stop anyone.

As long as you can appreciate the beauty and company of women, have at it.

It's not when you get too old, it's when they get boring. It also doesn't help for me I have to drive two hours just to get to a decent club.

As Call.Me.Ishmael says, when it's no longer fun for me.

I suspect that will be sometime around my death.

When the thought of a young lass
slow rubbing her perfect ass
On me, as I think to ask
May the sweet nips I'm a twiddling
Be kissed while you start fiddling
With little Steph; look, I've got more cash

Never comes to me anymore 😪
Until then 🤪

I don't care that I'm older. I just adjust my tastes and standards as I've gotten older. I'm at a point where I don't want dances from dancers that are too young, which eliminates a lot of wasting time waiting for young girls to come talk to me. I'd much rather get dances from someone who is both mature and hot. Also, she needs to have a good attitude, personality, and act with a level of grace. I am totally averse to and completely avoid dancers who talk too much, are loud, always walking around the club randomly, always seem to have a glass glued to their hand, chew gum all the time, and who vape. That eliminates a LOT of younger dancers for me.
