There's also the "scam" that most clubs run when a customer pays for the champagne room with a credit card. You have to purchase an amount of the club's "currency" (Kahoots Cash, Platinum Dollars, or some such name) to pay the dancers. A common method is to include a 15% service charge and only redeem the "currency" at 90% of its face value. Say you decide to purchase $500 of Kahoots Cash. Your card will be charged $575 ($500 plus 15% of $500). If you pay all of this amount to your dancer (what else are you going to do with it?), she'll present it to the club for payment in actual dollars but will only receive $450 ($500 less a 10% fee). The club makes $125 ($75 for your service charge and $50 for redeeming its own "currency") for issuing you a cash advance of $500. (There are merchant fees that the club has to pay on a credit card transaction but they're typically between 2% and 5%.) There are clubs that will even delay issuing payment when a dancer tries to redeem the club "currency." They'll tell her that they need to wait until the money shows up in the club's checking account. I've heard of these types of payments being delayed for up to a week. If you intend to make such a transaction, it's best to discuss it with your dancer beforehand.

At Kahoots I've never had anyone even try to charge me for a dance during "Girls, Girls, Girls". I've been told that they can only dance when there's a song playing and that that Motley Crue classic doesn't count. The same thing's happened to me when they do their bachelor party routine: the girls will stop their lap dances and wait until they resume playing songs. I've had girls sit with me during these intermissions, of course, but I've never received or been asked to pay for an official lap dance.

I'm 43 now. My first trip to a strip club was in 1999 when I was in Las Vegas. A friend and I went to a smaller club outside the city and then to The Crazy Horse Too. The "heaven on earth" comment applies. When I came home I wanted to visit them in Columbus but I was afraid of sitting among the guys who were there night after night to see "their" girls. I overcame my fears of creepy regulars last year just before Ohio changed the laws regarding conduct in strip clubs.

Over the past couple of months I've been visiting strip clubs where the private dances cost no more than $15. I didn't plan to do it because of high gas prices but it's worked out well.

Because of the near dominance of strictly mental processes over other aspects of my life.

Kahoots in Columbus OH has excellent food. They serve everything from appetizers to burgers to filet mignon. Since it's close to where I live I sometimes stop there just to eat.

I also only give compliments sincerely and try to stay away from the more common ones. The two that I give that seem to be the most appreciated are for skin and eyes. Compliments on perfume/body splash as well as outfits work well too. When I receive a compliment from someone I've just met I usually ask in a teasing manner, "Is that the stripper talking?"

Or you could always go to the "Was this review helpful?" system and rate reviewers that way. You'd be recognizing the newbies or "virgins" who have something useful to say.
