She wouldn't monster you?

^ The counter to that is that customers don't want trouble from fundamentally untrustworthy businesses, which I'd argue both clubs and ID scanning companies are. You are possibility correct that it is inevitable, but as customers we should do what we can to put off the inevitable. I will compromise a bit and say that I have sympathy for clubs that have a history of violence or assaults on dancers wanting to use this technology. However, those aren't the sort of establishments where I want to spend my time.

I'd be a lot more worried if Boardroom was located in Wellsley or Weston than Brockton. The area is commercial and safe. The police have a visible uniformed presence in the club that serves a useful purpose in terms of safety.

I don't know that receiving strip club mail/direct marketing is the biggest threat. I'd think about longer term concerns (especially for middle aged and younger people). Will your visit history data suddenly make it into an employment screen? Will financial institutions start using it to decide if you can get a mortgage? If you don't think this is a risk, then consider that companies look at credit scores for people that don't have finance or money handling jobs just because they can. Companies use drug screens for people that aren't going to be operating heavy machinery or handling inventory. You have to believe that shady companies like PatronScan are already trying to figure out how to break into these markets. Another threat is that even though the data is probably stored at the scanning company, club employees tend to have access. This opens up a whole world of blackmail possibilities. Then just think about your name being published on some list when the data eventually gets hacked and the issues that might cause in your social and familial circles.

IWantHerOnMe and DeepThinker, I'm curious what other details you were hoping for?

Wicked Northern NH also has a new club so that's something, I guess.

Is there any reason to think it won't be full contact? All MA clubs I've been to are, with the only exception being cabaret lounge.

I believe that it is illegal in both PA and NJ. You should consider going somewhere where it is legal.

Keep the po-po away by make it a non-extras club that undercuts Foxy and Dolls on per song price.

Are you going to buy it?

@ilbbaicnl So I read the article you linked and came away with a very different conclusion. The ID scanning company retains the data for 6 months, which means that if you visit a club every six months (that uses them) at some point the fact that you visited a club either appear on some doxxing list or you'll be subject to blackmail--because eventually they will get hacked. Second, they try to say that the data is stored on the ID scanning companies servers, but the very next sentence says that bar staff have access. Third, they make it clear that they will share visitation history between their client bars. For a company that is openly taking this ID scanning to a dystopian place, see this: https://guestban.com/

License scan, eh? Good clubs are falling like flies.

Given your preference for English language and natural bodies, I might have suggested PDX, but that is kinda far West. How far East are you willing to go? Is Canada in play? Do you care about having to drive or uber a lot, or do you want clubs to be within walking distance? If money isn't really an issue, why not do the obvious and go to NYC? Perhaps with some trips to the other boroughs or out to Patterson mixed in?

I'm pretty strongly in the "prefer not pierced" nipples camp. However, I like all-natural spinners, and it appears to be a law of the universe that brunette spinners under the age of 26 a required to get their nipples pierced. Avoiding dances b/c I don't like pierced nipples would exclude far too many dancers.

The same perfumes are very common on public transportation in a lot of the cities that I visit.

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but I don't understand what the market for this place or Caddy is. If they have fewer, or less hot, dancers then their prices should be lower not higher. My only trip here in the last year had a single dancer, and she just just ok. I get that Foxy, Dolls, Desire, and Wonderland each have their own niche. (Dolls vs Foxy less so). It seems like Fantasies and Caddy are just trying to be more expensive versions of Desire?

Maybe if I was named Rick I'd feel differently.

My name isn't my favorite word. My name is quite blah.

Are their VIPs superior to the $140-$160 15 minutes at R.I Dolls, Desire and Foxy Lady, or just more expensive?

Friday Night Lights has a scene about this, sorta.

That's about the same increase in price as a movie tickets or a mid-range beer (e.g. Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada) over that time. Perhaps a better comparison is what's happened to other big ticket entertainment? Local scalped MLB and NHL tickets are much cheaper now than they were in 2019, but I don't know how well that generalizes to other markets.

^^ Don't throw shade at those dancers. A lot of them moved to that area by choice. ^ Skibum has nailed it.

I agree that it is much better than Tens. No ID Scan, dances are at a better price. More goth girls. The room dances (two way contact) are reliably good grinds. Cheaper drinks. Better approach rate.

I assume you meant blahblahblah23. Who is PSD?

I had been thinking of making this its own thread or even an article, but I'll at least preview here. I visited a downtown club after a work dinner on Monday. This particular club basically has no competition within an hour's travel for good dances on Mondays due to the better suburban clubs being closed and its neighbor only offering air dances unless you spend huge $$ on a room. The club has fixed pricing at $30/song which is pretty much inline with the majority of clubs within an hour and a half (some cheaper and some more expensive, but most at $30 after two recently went from $25 to $30). They had five dancers working and 15-20 customers. One dancer never left the side of the customer she was with, so I imagine she did fine on the night. Two of the others said they were charging $50 a song or $650-700 for a half hour. Another (who never even took her top off on stage, and I imagine is generally uncomfortable with her job) said "30 a song, but $20 top per song for touching." All three were attractive enough, but between them they sold a single song and zero rooms in the 90 minutes I was in the club. The final dancer seemed really buzzed, but she only charged $30 a song. I passed on her due to how high she seemed, but she did manage to sell several dances. This isn't a stage oriented club and drinks are way above normal bar prices here; so people were there to buy dances. This is about as clear a market failure as one can directly observe.
