Strip club experience as a disabled customer?

TCabot
Hey all,

I am interested to hear your experiences (or your friend’s) experiences of how you or they were treated at clubs (both by staff and dancers) as a disabled customer. Most typically I am thinking wheelchair bound but also could be any type of disability. I have a buddy who is wheelchair bound (paraplegic) and I try to take him to a club from time to time to at least see and touch a naked woman.

How did the staff and dancers react? Any discrimination or remarks? Were they accommodating or did any dancers outright refuse to dance for you (or your friend)? And have you ever seen anyone trying to scam a disabled person in the club? Handing back the wrong amount to a blind person, taking advantage of a cognitively stunted person, etc?

Obscure topic but one that I find pretty interesting in an industry shrouded in mystery such as that of strip clubs.

I have seen wheel chair bound customers in at least 3 clubs that I can remember. 2 of those were sloped making entry through the front door all but impossible. So they were let in through an emergency exit back door.

Inside they were all treated good as best they could considering the obstacles in most clubs. They did get lap dances but I never saw one go to VIP.

I did see one guy that was so fat that he needed crutches to walk. He did make in to a semi private lap dance room and got several dances. Later I asked his dancer if his dick was as big as the rest of them. She replied "I don't know. I couldn't find it".

I've seen several wheelchair bound customers in clubs over the years and they all seemed to be having a good time and treated well by staff and the dancers. I even saw the bartender at one club that doesn't have waitresses come out from behind the bar a few times to check with they gentleman while he was sitting stage side to see if he needed a drink.

The biggest issue seems to be in some old hole in the wall type clubs where there are steps to get into the building or if there are steps to where the dances are done.

I saw a guy getting a lapdance in the main room of a club where the dances are normally done on the 2nd floor because the club had no elevator. The dance seemed much more timid from what I saw, not sure if that was because of the wheelchair or just because it was so wide open instead of in a private alcove like they had upstairs.

As others have mentioned, the real issue is not how the dancers treated the patron but accessibility. I’ve seen wheelchair bound customers a few times. It’s been in newer, larger, upscale clubs so they met all the ADA requirements so parking and getting in the building was fine. But once inside, tables are often so close to each other, it can be hard to get to the stage and maneuver around.

But they’ve been treated well. Often the prettiest dancers in the club did not at all hesitate to go over and ask for a dancer.

I did not see this myself, but my ATF told me a story about a young man who was injured in an accident and received a huge liability settlement. For 3 straight days he was at the club getting VIP dances.

I've seen a handful of wheelchair customers over the years and they were all treated well.

I've never seen a blind customer, which makes sense. Why would a blind man go to a strip club when he can't see the dancers anyway?

My most memorable experience seeing a man in a wheelchair happened at the Penthouse club in Tampa. This elderly gentleman was accompanied by a couple of younger men and women into the club. It turns out it was his kids taking a former paratrooper out on the town for his 90th birthday.

He was treated well by all. Initially, he just sat at the stage tipping and hollering. I asked a dancer I was sitting with if she would mind going over and dancing for him if I gave her the money. She did that and he enjoyed the hell out of it. It also broke the ice for him to get some dances on his own. One of his son's came over to say thanks and told me the details of the man and his group. It was fun to honor a service member and see him have fun.

^^ "Why would a blind man go to a strip club when he can't see the dancers anyway?"

Well, I can think of a few reasons -- things that one might describe using abbreviations like HJ, FIV, DATY, BBBJ and CFS. You know, the usual. Just no ogling.

Motorhead you said “Often the prettiest dancers in the club did not at all hesitate to go over and ask for a dancer.”

So the prettiest dancers wanted to get other dancers for him? Or they asked him for a dance themselves?

Didn’t Anna Nicole smith meet her husband in the strip club and he was in a wheelchair.

I remember one of the clubs I used to visit had a lap dance room where everyone could see everyone else and a guy in a wheelchair was getting his in the wheelchair.

I once heard a stripper, while on stage, ask a wheelchair-bound customer, "what are you sitting on?". The girl I was dating at the time, who insisted we go to the club to see Jessie Jane, told me "we're not tipping that bitch".

Funontheside, i don’t understand the issue. When she asked what are you sitting on, couldn’t it be a genuine question, as her view from stage would be obscured…

Ive seen them get treated normally by staff. But have seen dancers assume physically disabled customers are more desperate. I used to go to a club where I'd see developmentally challenged regulars. Most girls and staff looked out for them. But a lot of the disabled vet types seem to be entitled with bad attitudes.

I've had interactions with a few nasty customers in clubs. One time a drunk guy in a wheelchair started running into me when I didn't move because I didn't see him. Had a blind guy almost start a fight because I tripped over his cane.

Icee at a certain point, those instances can no longer be coincidences. People who have clubbed far more than you haven’t experienced the instances you mention. You probably started the altercations with those disabled people
