The discussion about cell phone bans in clubs got me thinking, how many of you can leave home without your phone? How does it make you feel? I do it frequently - typically on weekends, to the chagrin of my wife, but once I get over the initial anxiety I find it very liberating.
I’m not so self-important to think that there’s anything that can’t wait until I get back home. And if someone can’t get in touch with me immediately - that’s their problem, not mine. I typically don’t bring my phone with me to the strip club, although the google translate does come in handy sometimes.

last comment90% of the time my phone is with me anywhere I go.
Clubs that have restrictions on phones are interesting. In Seattle I have been “talked to” about having my phone out at least once. BUT if I’m with a dancer the staff will see me on my phone and leave us alone.

I would hate not having a phone in the club. I use it to track my spending per girl, and to sometimes get phone numbers. Plus, if my wife texts me I can step outside and text her back that I’m still at Home Depot, the gym, car mechanic, or whatever other excuse I have for the day! I could do without it, but don’t want to.

I always have my phone but I leave it under my car seat when I go into clubs. I have accidentally dialed people when I am in the club, and that’s the last thing I need my wife, or a client to hear.

I have not yet seen this in any clubs. I imagine it would hurt business and i probably wouldn't go back.

No. I need it for work. That said I dont have to be on it all the time.
If its not allowed I keep it in my pocket and check it in a bathroom stall.
I remember clubs not allowing phones. But nowadays its so common for people to maje social media posts from clubs

I go through the phone bullshit with my friends all the time who refuse to accept that while they wet themselves if they leave their phone home, I simply turn it off for days at a time. If I have my phone with me, I take it to the strip club because most of the time I need it to keep track of my fantasy teams and sports bets. The last dancer to touch my phone was at desires and she took a bunch of sexy shots of her and put her phone number in. Everything was deleted and the number blocked before I started the car. Love dancers and they are a huge part of my entertainment life, but they are never going to be part of my real life and no, not because I am married as none of my technology is password subject and always left in the open at home. My wife's only comment about my posting on this site has been: "wow those words sound better in person than they look typed on a screen".

When I am alone I always take my phone with me in order to use GPS and for emergencies. If I'm with someone else that has a phone, I'll leave mine at home.

I have an inexpensive Nokia flip phone which I use use for emergencies such as calling AAA, etc. I always take it with me as it has become a habit. It has minimal internet capabilities so it stays in my pocket. It's like an insurance policy - you hope you never have to use it, but it's there just in case. Internet work is done on a computer at my residence.
