I think you guys are missing the point. The people who don't want prostitution legalized are women. 50% of women think it should be illegal, whereas only 35% of men do. And when it comes to actually voting, I'm guessing a much higher percentage of women vote against legalizing. They hate it because they HATE the idea of their husbands/boyfriends cheating on them. That's it. And as more and more women achieve political power, the likelihood that it will be legalized diminishes. It ain't gonna happen. If it was up to men, it would be legal tomorrow. But now as men recede even deeper into being total pussies, the likelihood has decreased to nil.

Flagooner/Papi, As to why prices are going up, IMO it's not necessarily that the club prices are increasing, but I think that the EXPECTATIONS from the dancers are increasing. What used to be super high mileage $10 or $20 dances are now only obtainable if you go to the VIP and pay $200. It seems like dancers are becoming much more mercenary in recent years, and so many reviews complain about the VIP upsell. IMO, the younger folks seem to have this attitude of entitlement, that they should get $$ rained down on them for sitting on their asses texting their girlfriends. And what seems missing for the most part is what I think is the #1 most important aspect of a good SC: INTENT. Do the girls intend to make customers feel good, or is their only intent to get as much as possible for the least amount of effort? I get so fucking tired of dancers sitting on their asses with their noses buried in their phones. Since the 90's I've been going to clubs, and I *NEVER* had to go to the VIP to get some great action. But now it seems like in most clubs it's VIP or nothing if you want any sort of action. Of course there are exceptions, but they are dwindling.

That stripperweb article is interesting.... I can see the point that girls nowadays tend to have higher hopes, thinking everything is easy and will be handed to them, and once they see it's difficult they bail. I can definitely see that. But the point that stripping is becoming more socially acceptable, and more girls are trying it and there are more girls competing, which results in lower $$ per girl, doesn't seem to make sense. When I go to clubs it seems like the numbers of girls is dropping, especially the hotter ones. And there seems to be an influx of foreign girls (Russian, Cuban, Mexican, Colombian, etc.), and US girls seem to think their shit don't stink and are above it all.

Papi excellent point. I keep hearing how millenials tend to live at home with their parents until their 30's or something, don't get married, and expect everything for free (free internet, free software, free tv, etc.). And you and I have both seen clubs become night-only clubs.

Here's the plan: Make American Strip Clubs Great Again Assume 1,000 viable strip clubs across the US. For those clubs that meet strict new federal quality standards (lap dance quality, customer satisfaction, etc.), the government will provide a $500,000 subsidy to each club every year. Total of $500 million, which is peanuts. Subsidy can be used to pay for lap dances (so that customer outlay per dance is no more than $5), stripper clothing allowance, boob jobs, stripper training, and stripper wages. Strippers would get big bucks (which would pull them away from camming, etc.), and customers would get great service. Now you're talkin'.....
