After I got used to the...

After I got used to the surroundings and inquired with the bartender and a few of the dancers as to how the set up worked, I became more comfortable. I found most of the dancers willing to share with me how the operation worked and what sort of tipping etc. was expected. They couldn’t come right out and tell me (they said something about rules prohibiting it), but they were able to let me know what was standard. I probably could have tried to negotiate for lower tips, but I don’t think that you get the best "product" (for lack of a better phrase) when you try to shop for a bargain in that type of a situation.

I hooked up with Nora. I must say that I was very satisfied with the experience. I had separated with my wife (unfortunately, and divorce is imminent), and needed some "good touch". Nora was very understanding and provided me with the reassurance that I needed to feel good about myself and women (as expected in the situation that I was in at the time, I was very unsure of myself and relations with women). The "product" (I still can’t think of a better word) that I received that evening enabled me to act with more confidence around women (instead of a babbling desperate idiot) for quite some time after the initial experience.

I feel that places like this can help men feel better about themselves and actually give them confidence in social situations. It’s a good jump start for the ego (just keep in mind that these women do this for a living, and there are not going to throw it all away to run off with a customer), basically, it is their job to like you for the period of time that you spend with them. That is not intended to demean them or what they do, it is just the truth. Like all people, some seem to enjoy their jobs more than others and consequently are better at them."
