DATT refers to toe sucking, "Dine at the toes". This is not something I engage in but some escorts I have patronized do.

Fidelity in marriage is a fine thing and I practiced it for decades. However, there has been much written about the strains on long-term marriages when the wife's libido plummets after menopause while the husband still feels a robust need for sexual satisfaction. Until you have experienced the disillusionment of recognizing the sex is no longer a part of your relationship with a woman you still love I don't feel you are in any position to moralize to me about fidelity, divorce, or sexual mores.

I agree with Art that drug tests are necessary. What affronts me is the requirement to urinate in front of a person of the opposite sex. Imagine the hew and cry if the genders were reversed.

Amen, brother!

@VHK- Why do you have to get testy about this? The OP is merely offering his analysis of likely future outcomes. No need to call him or any of us names. It is simply a fact that the new Affordable Care Act will cause an increase in expenses (and not merely to millionaires!) Why must some of you get personal with every response? Can't we all just get along?

While I suspect it is difficult or even impossible to determine which came first, every escort I have used also strips or stripped. Just look at the photos on BP and you will notice most of the girls are posing in stipper wear, especially shoes.

No sex but I have had a lunch date with Miss America of 1964, Vonda Kay Van Dyke. We were both in our 50's by then.

I know a financial planner who invests an NBA star's money. Although the player receives signficant "meal money" when on the road, he also receives a spending allowance from the planner of $1,000 per day. The player is always asking for additional funds as he has difficulty staying within the $K/day limit. WTF?

While I have never visited a Houston club, the clubs I have visited in Texas are lame by Detroit standards (I am jaded, I know). San Antonio and Dallas have great escorts for SC prices so I am not tempted to explore their clubs further.

@RickDugan- this girl was not on a track to become a bank VP. She was, however, a college graduate working a good job in the compliance department of a large national bank. I asked my son, who is a bank VP, what such a person probably makes. He said about $55-60K. Accordingly, I believe that this works out to about half the $50/hr she makes stripping.

@Joey2002- Some strippers have significant jobs skills but can not earn as much as a secretary or office worker. I recently got dances from a banker who has worked in mid-level administration for a dozen years and now strips occasionally on the weekends for birthday money for her kids. She makes about $50 an hour dancing, a good deal better than her day job.

As Mark Twain said about quitting smoking, "It's easy. I've done it hundreds of times."

I try to limit my hobby expenses to about $500 per month. That may be spread over a half dozen outings or a couple of p4p experiences. On occasion I give myself a present of an extra grand to so to spend on a trip either ITC or OTC.

What was so disgusting about this girl that you would not even attempt a dance with her? If I have enjoyed a dancer's company I am always willing to have a dance or two even if I do not find her particularly attractive physically.

I agree that PMs should never be posted in a public forum, it doesn't matter how minor or banal the PM may be. In this case I believe that kittykate is more immature or stupid rather than malicious. I find her posts distasteful for more reasons than breaches of etiquette. I suppose I can always block her if this type of thing continues. Let's all hope her convalescence continues apace and she will go back to the pink site soon.

I try to make it a rule never to take my wallet out in a club. I always wear a shirt with a front pocket where I keep a was of $20 bills. In my left front pants pocket I keep a wad of $10 & $5 bills. In my right front pants pocket I keep a wad of singles. This helps me manage my money and also allows me to keep track of how much I am spending. If I ever run short of money in my pockets, I have to decide to violate my "rule" and raid the wallet for more cash than I had planned to spend. I also keep $50 and $100 bills in a separate part of my wallet.

There is a club in Florida that has a stated LD price of $10. One customer interpreted that to mean $10 total no matter how many dances one received. The bouncer tried to convince him that he must pay $10 per but the guy only had $20 on him and no credit or ATM cards. Soon after the club posted signs noting that the price was $10 PER DANCE,

As a veteran PL I have gotten to know several dancers over the years. By "know" I mean I have come to understand their lives well enough that they need not BS me. None of these girls is wealthy nor making a net income of $1,000 per week, many making much less. Why do strippers make less today than 8-10 years ago (a fact that even the Pinkies acknowledge)? I agree with the OP that the rise of internet escort sites has provided a level of competition absent in prior years. Today I use the clubs to screen for OTC companions. Yes, I use escort sites as well but eschew Backpage and Craigslist as I am still paranoid about LE until P4P is legal.

I flagged two reviews today because they didn't pass the "smell test." Both were from newbies and both made claims I find impossible to believe. The first listed, by name, nearly a dozen dancers at a club and recommended every one. (I question if any reviewer who was not an employee of the club could remember that many dancer names, much less be in a position to recommend them.) The second flagged review claimed to have spent 10-13 minutes getting dances in a DV for only $20. Seriously?

Parkway Tropics in Grand Rapids still does the $1 table dances but that is really all they are good for. (Bikini Club)

I have a regular dancer I see in Michigan who swears her real name is Dynasty and another dancer in Florida who claim Tiara is her given name as well. What are the odds on this?

I occasionally wish I could add a comment to a review by other TUSCL colleagues. Other than to flag a review I don't find a way to add info or question erroneous info.

While I regularly dine at buffet restaurants, I avoid food at SCs. I recently was at Inner Room in Cocoa Beach when they featured a buffet with buffalo wings. WTF? If you were a dancer would you want fingers in your HooHaa that had hot sauce under the fingernails? As a diner, would you want to take food off a buffet table where other diners had just come from a vigorous lap dance? I think not!

Never tried a streetwalker and this is why. Why. Who needs that kind of drama?

Wow! I'm in San Antonio this week. I have not checked out the local clubs as the reviews seem to suggest they are lame. I have found other means of enjoying female company, if you know what I mean.
