I would start looking at the ads now, before your trip, and every few days until you arrive. The girls who are posting consistently are probably for real and not scammers. The girls who are posting TOO consistently probably have trouble keeping clients around, but there are definitely well-reviewed girls who still post regularly on backpage just to keep their business development on track.

MajorBoobage is both the name of a South Park episode (the one where Kenny gets high on cat urine) that was on shortly before the first time I logged onto this site, and also what I go to strip clubs for.

Hank MoodyI'm fine. I'm disgusted with my life and myself, but I'm not unhappy about that.
Terry, the clubs in the city proper are typically air-dance only. I would not recommend any of the clubs that are cab distance from downtown, although you might check out the Admiral Theater just to say you've been there. To get decent mileage you would have to get out to the suburbs, or better yet, northwest Indiana. (Incidentally, the Admiral is accessible via the CTA's Brown Line train if you want to save the cab fare.)

Let's hope the attorneys general don't figure out the other sites all the real ads have migrated to!

I went to Industrial Strip a few weeks ago and talked to a semi-regular dancer of mine, who claimed to have won nudes-a-poppin last year and this year. It's at a nudist colony, and she was saying that it was kind of funny because after the contest the only people who were wearing clothes were the strippers. Then I took her back for a lap dance and we were all over each other. I think I was better off with the IS experience than the nudes-a-poppin experience. Of course, if you're in the midwest, I suppose it might be worthwhile to pick out a girl you really like and find out what club she works at.

You're worried about her having ulterior motives AND you're worried about whether it's appropriate to employ the three-date rule? Granted, I don't have any 18-year-old girls chasing after me, but it seems that if you try to fuck her early on, only one of two things can happen: 1) She runs away and you're free of the drama, or 2) You're fucking her. The only reason I can think of for the three-date rule is for your own protection: It gives you time to gauge whether she plans to treat you as an ATM, and you can walk away before you get in too deep. Hope that helps!

Here in Chicago, OTC with strippers is not as easily available as it seems to be in other places -- and much more expensive than an escort. If the cost were a little closer I would totally agree with all the other posters, because it is worth paying a premium to get to know the woman a little first before you make your decision. At some point, though, the value proposition turns back to escorts.

I gave a guy the best tip he ever had -- believe it or not, the tip was that you can tip the girls a dollar while on stage and they'll do stuff for you. It was at the Men's Club in Reno last fall; I was tipping dollars and getting boobie rubs, and when I went to the bathroom a guy came in and started asking me about it. He appeared to be in his 50s but had no idea you were allowed to do that. Not sure what hole he had been hidden in for the previous 50 years, but he seemed like a nice enough guy, so I told him yeah, just walk up to the stage and hold out a dollar. Later on he tried it out, and on his way back he stopped by my table to shake my hand with a gigantic smile on his face.

It's rare, but I've had a few conversations with other customers that went beyond "hi" or "is anyone sitting here". In my estimation it's about 60 percent guys who are desperate for any friend (and usually way too drunk), 30 percent guys who are trying to pimp out dancers or other girls, and 10 percent guys who are just very cool and make friends with everyone in and out of the clubs.

I agree entirely with rob0411, but that said, the problem with the theories espoused here is that there's no indicator of causality. In other words, you haven't demonstrated that FDR's public spending caused higher unemployment -- it may well be the case that without public works projects, unemployment would have been even higher than 6.9 million in 1940. (Besides, unemployment rate is a much more relevant gauge of economic health than the hard numbers.) Similarly, it's not necessarily the case that JFK lowering income taxes caused unemployment to drop; it's entirely possible that declining unemployment created a rise in income tax revenue, allowing the government to drop the rate. So if you're going to insist on derailing the talk about boobies, at least have a point worth sharing.

When I say "love" to a stripper, it's usually in the context of a really filthy daddy-daughter fantasy that we're playing out.

Heavenly Bodies in Elk Grove Village (suburban Chicago) shows soft-core porn in the lap dance area, although there's plenty else to look at, as the dances are done in one big room instead of individual booths. Skybox in Harvey used to show porn as well, although I think they stopped at some point and I haven't been there in a while anyway.

There was another discussion on here where a guy said a dancer told him about other dancers who gave BJs in the booths, and she said she would never do that, so he asked her what she would do and ended up with a hand job.
Of course, when I tried a modified version of that move recently, the girl just smirked and asked me which law enforcement agency I work for. But you could give it a shot. If a fave tells you she denied extras to a certain guy, you could always smile and ask her who she WOULD give extras to. If she takes it as a joke and moves on (highly likely) at least you'll know she wasn't offering, but on the off chance that she is offering extras that might be the way to lead into it.

I prefer natural, even if they're not very big, but there are a couple caveats to that:
* I tend to go to clubs (like IS in Hammond) where north side groping is allowed an encouraged, so I'm more interested in how they feel than how they look.
* This outlook evolved over time; when I was in my 20s I was more of the opinion that bigger is better (and back then I couldn't tell the difference between fake and real anyway).
So the answer for your girl might depend on what type of clubs she works in, and what her target audience is. Of course, older dudes have more money, so if, as I suspect, most of the 35-plus crows agrees with me, spending the $10K might hurt her income prospects in the long run.

You don't need a line to get a dance, but every little bit helps. I find that on the SC trips where I'm dressed nice and wearing cologne and am making the strippers laugh, the number of girls stopping by my table and the quality of the dances I get are both noticeably higher than when I look normal and am not very talkative. Strippers are still women, and even if they're mainly motivated by money they will merely go through the motions to get it unless you can do something to turn them on a little.
That said, I don't have a standard line. On my next trip, I may try out How's line about making the room look bad.

Typically my own. My employer also blocks sites like these, but their blocking app only works when I'm on their network, so on rare occasions when I've been traveling I'll use my work laptop on a hotel network to check out TUSCL. However, I am extremely careful about covering my tracks, and I also wouldn't really mind getting fired all that much, so I wouldn't recommend that anyone take my lead.

I also had the immediate FS offer one time, at Skybox in Harvey, IL a couple years ago. A girl came up to me and the first words out of her mouth were "Do you want to go to the champagne room and have sex?" It was so unexpected that I acted strictly on instinct, which was to say "no". I'm glad I did, because looking back, it was such a desperate move that there had to be some BS on the other end of it. Either she was going to take a bunch of money and not do anything, or jack up the price when we were done, or something.
Her reaction cemented this belief. When I said "no", she said, "you don't want to have sex?" She tried to sound surprised, but it came across a little bit angry, as if she had assumed I would be the sucker for whatever scam she was pulling and in her mind it was somehow my fault when she was wrong. It's too bad -- she was pretty hot -- but I'm sure nothing good could have come of that situation.
As for girls who immediately ask for a dance, I also prefer them to stop and chat a while first. But if she's pretty hot I'll tell her I just want to watch the show for a while and she can come back later if she wants to.

PAS may be a whiny little bitch for all I know, but I have to agree with him on this issue. TUSCL is the site I go to for information about strip clubs; I have plenty of sources I use for my hard news. Furthermore, this post is clearly ripped straight off of a site called Michigan Live, which probably asserts a copyright on it, and for mitciv to cut and paste it here under his own name may put TUSCL on the hook for a copyright violation. If I were running this site, I would heavily discourage this type of post.

minnowAny place that interests me.
I've had girls ask for a dollar tip, usually in the guise of feeding the jukebox. I don't think they could ask for serious cash because guys would just stop going to those clubs.
I'm not a big fan of BTLAD clubs, although if I'm going to a club where I know it goes on, I just budget for it. Many years ago I was driving through Louisville and stopped at a few places where the BTLAD was clearly a come-on for extras. The big clue was when I agreed to buy a drink and the bartender asked me what price point I wanted to buy at.

The best club in my state is not in my state. I live in Chicago, and my favorite place to go in this area is Industrial Strip in Hammond, Ind. If I had to pick something on the Illinois side, I would say All-Stars in Northbrook has been pretty decent of late.
Of course, the best club in my state is probably in the East St. Louis area, but I haven't been down that way in years. From what I read on TUSCL, it's a lot easier to find extras down there than up here. Maybe it's just me (recently a stripper thought I was a cop), but I don't find much of that going on in the Chicago area. As an experiment, I should maybe visit some of the Houston/Atlanta/Tampa folks on here (let's say, oh, maybe in the middle of January) and see how I fare in those areas.

One test of whether your hobby is an addiction is if you can't stop doing it even when it stops being fun. It kind of sounds like it hasn't yet stopped being fun. It also sounds like you stopped a high-money gambling habit when that stopped being fun, so you're probably not an addictive personality.
BTW, if you have any tips for the rest of us on how to make enough money that your income can drop by 75 percent and still leave you with enough money to shell out $2,000 to $2,500 for strip club vacations three or four times a year, I for one would be willing to hear it.

At Industrial Strip in Hammond the girls put a towel on your lap for the duration of the dance, because they expect to get you off from a grind. When I first starting going there I would warn them by saying "hey, you're getting me really close," and they would just keep grinding and say "that's what I'm here for".

Earlier tonight I asked a stripper that during a private dance. She was pretty cool, and some dancers will try harder to please you if you make a little effort for them. Anyway, she told me she liked being spanked and (get this) being choked. Damn. Certainly not a typical SS answer.
For the record, I put my hand on her throat, but I didn't squeeze very hard and only kept it up for about 10 to 15 seconds. It just doesn't turn me on. I gave her a few good spankings and went back to playing with her tits, and a couple songs later I left the dance booth a happy man.

Yeah there might have been a party going on in the "executive lounge" the night I was there. In general I think part of the problem is too many girls only want to work the lounge.

Thanks for the review, Dandy Dan. Side note for anyone else visiting who's curious about the slot machines: Illinois approved slot machines at "drinking establishments" about 5 years ago. It's hit and miss because the local government also has to allow slot machines -- notably, Chicago does NOT allow slot machines (but a lot of suburbs do). Bars are limited to 5 machines, and by law they cannot pay out more than $500 on a single play. For you regular gamblers out there who play video poker and know the math behind it, you'll quickly realize these are basically a rip-off with such a limited top prize. But, it can be a fun way to kill time for 10 or 20 bucks while you're waiting for your girl, and they do legally pay out if you happen to win a little something. Anyway, I've seen machines at several strip clubs in the Chicago area: Club 390, Jimmy's, and Bobby's Bar off the top of my head.
